Users outside Florida who have disputes with Rumble would need to litigate in Florida courts under Florida law, which may create a practical barrier to pursuing legal claims.
Interpretive note: Enforceability of the Florida forum selection clause for non-U.S. users may be limited by applicable consumer protection law in their home jurisdiction, particularly in the EU and UK.
If you have a legal dispute with Rumble that proceeds to court, you would need to do so in Florida, which could be a significant logistical and financial burden for users located elsewhere in the U.S. or internationally.

"These Terms shall be governed by the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. You agree that any action at law or in equity arising out of or relating to these Terms shall be filed only in the state and federal courts located in Hillsborough County, Florida, and you hereby consent and submit to the personal jurisdiction of such courts.— Excerpt from Rumble's Rumble Terms of Service
(1) REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: Forum selection clauses designating a single state are broadly enforceable in U.S. commercial contracts but may be subject to challenge in consumer contracts where the selected forum creates an unconscionable burden. The FTC and state attorneys general have raised concerns about forum selection clauses that effectively prevent consumers from asserting their rights. EU and UK consumer protection law generally prohibits clauses that deprive consumers of access to courts in their home jurisdiction. (2) GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Medium. The Florida forum selection is standard practice for a Florida-incorporated company, but its combination with mandatory arbitration creates a layered barrier to dispute resolution that may be challenged by consumer protection authorities in certain jurisdictions. (3) JURISDICTION FLAGS: EU and UK users may not be bound by the Florida forum selection clause under applicable consumer protection law, which typically preserves the right to sue in one's home jurisdiction. California's consumer protection statutes may also provide additional forum protections for California residents. (4) CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: B2B partners contracting with Rumble should assess whether the Florida forum selection is acceptable in their own procurement and legal risk frameworks and negotiate variations where needed. (5) COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Legal teams supporting EU or UK user bases should assess whether a separate forum provision or carve-out is required to comply with applicable consumer protection law.
