RunPod's Terms of Service require you to resolve any dispute with RunPod through binding arbitration rather than in court, and you give up your right to join a class action. RunPod makes no guarantees about its service and limits what it owes you—no matter what goes wrong—to at most $100 or six months of your payments, whichever is less. Your subscription renews automatically at RunPod's current price unless you actively opt out.
RunPod's Terms of Service establish a mandatory binding arbitration regime—with a thirty-day written opt-out window—under which all disputes must be resolved individually, waiving users' rights to court adjudication, jury trial, and class or collective action. RunPod disclaims all express and implied warranties for its Site, Service, and Community Features, which are provided on an as-is and as-available basis, and excludes liability for all categories of damages including direct, indirect, consequential, and punitive damages. RunPod's total financial liability to any user is capped at the lesser of amounts paid in the prior six months or $100.00. The Terms also impose on users an affirmative indemnification obligation for third-party claims arising from their use of the Service, a data-security and backup responsibility for their own content, auto-renewal of subscriptions at then-current fees absent opt-out, and prohibitions on use by or in sanctioned countries and parties.
As an individual user, you are bound to resolve all disputes with RunPod exclusively through final and binding arbitration on an individual basis, with no access to court or jury and no ability to join a class action. RunPod's financial liability to you is capped at the lesser of your last six months of payments or $100.00, and RunPod makes no warranties about the quality or reliability of its service. You are responsible for securing, backing up, and encrypting your own data to applicable legal and industry standards, and you must indemnify RunPod against third-party claims arising from your use of the service. Your subscription auto-renews at RunPod's then-current fee unless you opt out. One specific action you can take: if you want to preserve your right to resolve disputes outside arbitration, you must send RunPod written notice of opt-out within thirty days of first becoming subject to the Arbitration Agreement.
