Class Action Waiver

Why it matters

Class actions allow many consumers with small individual claims to pool resources and hold companies accountable; waiving this right makes it economically impractical for most individuals to pursue small-value claims.

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.
  • Opt Out of Arbitration
    Within 30 days
    Opting out of arbitration also removes the class action waiver. Send written notice to help@skillshare.com within 30 days of agreeing to these Terms, including your name and account email.

Applicable agencies
