If you're a US user, you generally cannot sue Strava in court or as part of a group lawsuit — you must resolve disputes through private arbitration on an individual basis only.

The arbitration requirement channels all dispute resolution through a private arbitration process, and the class action waiver restricts users to individual claims. This affects the procedural framework and scope of available dispute mechanisms under the agreement.
US-based Strava users lose their right to sue in court and cannot join class action lawsuits against Strava; all disputes must be resolved through binding individual arbitration, significantly limiting practical legal recourse for data misuse or other platform harms.

"NOTICE REGARDING DISPUTE RESOLUTION: THESE TERMS CONTAIN PROVISIONS THAT GOVERN HOW DISPUTES BETWEEN YOU AND STRAVA ARE RESOLVED, INCLUDING AN AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE, WHICH WILL—UNLESS YOU RESIDE IN THE EU OR JURISDICTIONS WHERE PROHIBITED—WITH LIMITED EXCEPTION, REQUIRE YOU TO SUBMIT CLAIMS YOU HAVE AGAINST US TO BINDING AND FINAL ARBITRATION AND LIMIT YOU TO CLAIMS AGAINST STRAVA ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS, UNLESS YOU OPT-OUT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INSTRUCTIONS BELOW.— Excerpt from Strava's Strava Terms of Service
REGULATORY FRAMEWORK: This provision implicates the Federal Arbitration Act (FAA) 9 U.S.C. §§1-16 (primary enforcement), California's McGill Rule (McGill v. Citibank, 2 Cal.5th 945 (2017)) which voids pre-dispute arbitration clauses waiving public injunctive relief, the FTC Act Section 5 (unfair or deceptive acts), and state consumer protection statutes across multiple jurisdictions. The EU/EEA carve-out reflects compliance with EU Directive 93/13/EEC on unfair contract terms and the Consumer Rights Directive 2011/83/EU.
