If you have a dispute with Suno, you must resolve it through private arbitration rather than a court, and you cannot join with other users in a class action lawsuit. This applies to virtually all claims, including those for money, injunctions, or declarations.
This analysis describes what Suno'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
Class action lawsuits are often the only practical way for consumers to pursue small or moderate claims against large companies; this clause removes that option and requires each user to bear the cost and effort of individual arbitration.
This clause means you generally cannot sue Suno alongside other users if you believe you have been collectively harmed, and you cannot have your claims decided by a judge or jury in most circumstances. Individual arbitration can be costly and procedurally complex for consumers with modest claims.
