What it is

Users and Rumble may only bring claims against each other on an individual basis and may not act as a plaintiff or class member in any class or representative proceeding.

ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

This provision, in conjunction with the mandatory arbitration clause, requires that any claims against Rumble be pursued individually rather than collectively, regardless of whether multiple users may share the same grievance.

Interpretive note: Enforceability varies by jurisdiction; EU residents and California consumers may have statutory protections that limit or override class action waivers in consumer contracts.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

The agreement requires that users bring any claims against Rumble solely in their individual capacity, precluding participation in class action or representative proceedings regardless of the nature of the claim.

ConductAtlas Analysis

Institutional analysis (Compliance & governance intelligence)

(1) REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: Class action waivers in consumer contracts have been subject to regulatory and judicial scrutiny under the FTC Act, the Consumer Financial Protection Act, and various state consumer protection statutes. California courts have in some circumstances declined to enforce class action waivers that effectively preclude consumers from vindicating statutory rights. The EU's Unfair Contract Terms Directive and the Representative Actions Directive may render class action waivers in consumer contracts unenforceable against EU residents. (2) GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: High. If the class action waiver is unenforceable in a given jurisdiction, it could expose Rumble to collective litigation from users in that jurisdiction. Conversely, if enforceable, it limits the practical ability of individual users to pursue small-value claims. (3) JURISDICTION FLAGS: California, EU/EEA, and certain other jurisdictions present heightened enforceability risk for class action waivers in consumer contracts. Minors and protected consumer categories may have additional grounds for challenge. (4) CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Institutional partners or advertisers should assess whether the class action waiver in user terms creates any indirect effect on commercial dispute resolution mechanisms applicable to their own agreements with Rumble. (5) COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Compliance teams should monitor regulatory developments regarding class action waivers in consumer contracts, particularly FTC rulemaking activity and state-level legislative changes in California, New York, and Illinois.
