If you have a legal dispute with Replit, you must resolve it through private arbitration rather than in court, and you cannot join a class action lawsuit against the company. You have 30 days from account creation to opt out of this requirement by emailing Replit.
Users who do not opt out within 30 days permanently lose the right to litigate disputes in court and cannot participate in class actions, meaning individual small claims become economically impractical to pursue against Replit.

REGULATORY FRAMEWORK: This provision implicates the Federal Arbitration Act (FAA, 9 U.S.C. §1 et seq.), which generally favors arbitration agreement enforcement; however, it also engages California consumer protection law under Cal. Civil Code §1670.5 (unconscionability) and the FTC Act Section 5 (unfair or deceptive practices). The FTC has issued policy statements and enforcement actions against mandatory arbitration clauses in consumer contracts that effectively eliminate meaningful dispute resolution. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) previously promulgated rules limiting arbitration clauses (vacated by Congress via CRA in 2017) signaling ongoing regulatory tension.
