You give up your right to band together with other Skillshare users to bring a joint lawsuit or arbitration against the company, and you also waive your right to a jury trial for any dispute.
This analysis describes what Skillshare's agreement states, permits, or reserves. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Regulatory applicability and practical outcomes may vary by jurisdiction, enforcement context, and individual circumstances. Read our methodology
This clause establishes that disputes are resolved on an individual basis rather than aggregated with other users' claims. The operational effect is that claims must proceed through the specified individual dispute resolution process, which affects the procedural posture and scale at which disputes are adjudicated.
This waiver prevents users from pursuing collective legal action against Skillshare, which is particularly significant for disputes involving smaller monetary amounts where individual arbitration may not be economically viable, effectively limiting accountability for widespread but individually small harms.

"YOU WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS-ACTION LAWSUIT OR CLASS-WIDE ARBITRATION OR A TRIAL BY JURY.— Excerpt from Skillshare's Skillshare Terms of Service
(1) REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: Class action waivers in consumer contracts are subject to ongoing regulatory scrutiny under the FTC Act. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has previously attempted to restrict class action waivers in financial service contracts, and state attorneys general in California and other states have challenged these waivers in consumer contexts. For EU and UK users, class action waivers are broadly unenforceable under mandatory consumer protection law. (2) GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: High. Class action waivers, when combined with mandatory arbitration, create a structural barrier to collective consumer redress. Regulatory and judicial scrutiny of these combined provisions has increased, and enforcement agencies have signaled interest in challenging them in consumer-facing digital service agreements. (3) JURISDICTION FLAGS: California law and the EU Unfair Contract Terms Directive create the highest jurisdictional exposure for this provision. In the EU, consumers cannot be deprived of the right to collective or representative action in national courts. In California, the enforceability of class action waivers in consumer contracts has been contested in multiple cases, and the outcome may depend on whether the arbitration agreement as a whole is found unconscionable. (4) CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Enterprise customers should assess whether the class action waiver applies to their commercial relationship. If Skillshare is deployed as a workforce training platform, employer procurement teams should be aware that employees using the platform are bound by these waivers through their own account agreements. (5) COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Legal teams should monitor whether regulatory or legislative developments at the federal or state level affect the enforceability of class action waivers in digital service agreements. The waiver should be evaluated alongside the arbitration clause as a combined dispute resolution framework, and its interaction with applicable consumer protection statutes should be assessed on a jurisdiction-by-jurisdiction basis.
