Account Termination for Inactivity

Medium severity
Share 𝕏 Share in Share

Why it matters

Users who pause their use of the platform could lose access to all enrolled classes, uploaded content, and account history without realizing it if they miss the warning email.

Consumer impact

Skillshare's Terms significantly limit consumers' legal recourse by requiring binding individual arbitration and waiving class action rights for all disputes. Subscriptions auto-renew and charge your payment method automatically, with very limited refund options and no refund if you cancel mid-cycle. You can opt out of mandatory arbitration by sending a written notice to Skillshare within 30 days of first agreeing to these Terms.

What you can do

⚠️ These actions may provide transparency or partial mitigation but may not fully address the underlying issue. Effectiveness varies by jurisdiction and individual circumstances.

    Account termination and data deletion practices may raise consumer protection concerns if consumers are not given adequate notice or opportunity to retrieve their data.
