What it is

All disputes related to the terms, the Peloton Service, connected fitness equipment, apparel, and accessories must be resolved through binding individual arbitration governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, with both parties waiving the right to jury trial and class action participation. Exceptions exist for small claims court qualifying disputes and injunctive relief for intellectual property claims.

ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

This provision requires that all covered disputes, including product liability and equipment-related claims, proceed through individual binding arbitration rather than court proceedings. The class action waiver prevents users from consolidating claims with other users, which affects the procedural options available for resolving disputes involving connected fitness products.

Interpretive note: Enforceability of the class action waiver and arbitration clause for product liability and equipment-related personal injury claims may vary by jurisdiction, and some states limit mandatory arbitration in consumer contracts.
