"YOU AND RO AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING.— Excerpt from Ro's Ro Terms of Use
(1) REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: Class action waivers in consumer contracts engage the Federal Arbitration Act and have been the subject of litigation under state consumer protection statutes. California courts have in some contexts found PAGA representative action waivers unenforceable under state law, which may interact with this provision for California-based users. The FTC has expressed concern about class action waivers in consumer contracts that involve potential widespread harm. (2) GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: High. Class action waivers materially limit the aggregate liability exposure of the company from consumer claims, which is particularly significant in healthcare contexts where systemic issues could affect large numbers of patients. (3) JURISDICTION FLAGS: California residents interacting with this clause in the context of employment-related claims or state-specific consumer protections face heightened jurisdictional complexity. Other states with strong consumer protection frameworks may also present enforcement questions. (4) CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: This clause does not directly affect B2B vendor contracts but signals the company's posture toward aggregate consumer liability. Institutional purchasers of Ro's services for employee health benefits should evaluate whether this waiver applies to their employee-users. (5) COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Legal teams should monitor state-level judicial and regulatory developments regarding class action waivers in healthcare consumer contracts, particularly as telehealth regulation continues to evolve.
