Starbucks Terms of Use

This document governs user access to and use of all Starbucks Corporation websites and mobile applications, establishing a contractual relationship under Washington State law with disputes resolved through binding arbitration. The terms authorize Starbucks to collect user-submitted content under a broad royalty-free license, limit liability to the greater of amounts paid in the prior twelve months or one hundred dollars, and disclaim all warranties to the fullest extent permitted by law. The mandatory arbitration clause with class action waiver represents a significant restriction on consumer legal recourse; the intellectual property license granted over user-submitted content is broad in scope, though applicable law may constrain enforcement in some jurisdictions. The terms engage consumer protection frameworks administered by the FTC, and California-specific provisions including a CCPA-referenced privacy notice and Shine the Light law disclosure create heightened compliance considerations for that resident population; Washington State law governs interpretation but arbitration carve-outs and consumer protection statutes may limit enforceability of certain provisions depending on jurisdiction.
