Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

Users in most jurisdictions lose the right to pursue claims in court, as Strava mandates arbitration subject only to geographic carve-outs and limited exceptions.

Interpretive note: The excerpt is truncated and does not specify what the 'limited exceptions' are. The canonical claim preserves that qualifier without elaborating beyond the text. The full scope of the arbitration requirement may be defined elsewhere in the Terms.
