The updated terms establish mandatory individual arbitration for all disputes with Replit, eliminating the right to bring claims in court or as part of a class action. You waive your right to a jury trial by accepting these terms. The minimum age to use the Service is now explicitly set at 13 years old; if you are under 18, you must have parental consent, and your parent or guardian becomes subject to these Terms by allowing you to use the Service. If you publish content that collects personal data from others, you are now explicitly responsible for complying with all applicable privacy laws, obtaining necessary consents, providing required notices, and enabling users to access, correct, or delete their data. You can opt out of the arbitration requirement within 30 days of first agreeing to these terms.
