If you have a dispute with Reddit, you must resolve it through binding individual arbitration rather than going to court, and you cannot participate in a class-action lawsuit against Reddit.

This provision establishes the procedural mechanism through which contractual disputes are resolved, replacing traditional litigation with private arbitration and eliminating the possibility of aggregated claims. The operational effect is to require individualized dispute resolution and prevent consolidation of user claims.
You cannot sue Reddit in court or join a class-action lawsuit — all disputes must go through individual arbitration, which is costly and less accessible for individual consumers seeking small-dollar remedies.

REGULATORY FRAMEWORK: The arbitration clause is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (FAA) 9 U.S.C. §1 et seq. The class action waiver implicates FTC Act Section 5 (unfair practices) and has been challenged under California's McGill v. Citibank (2 Cal.5th 945, 2017) rule invalidating waivers of public injunctive relief. EU users: mandatory arbitration clauses in B2C contracts are presumptively unfair under EU Directive 93/13/EEC on Unfair Contract Terms and may be unenforceable in EU member states. UK users: similar protection under the Consumer Rights Act 2015.
