"THIS AGREEMENT CONTAINS A MANDATORY INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION PROVISION IN SECTION 13(b) (THE "ARBITRATION AGREEMENT") AND A CLASS ACTION/JURY TRIAL WAIVER PROVISION IN SECTION 13(c) (THE "CLASS ACTION/JURY TRIAL WAIVER") THAT REQUIRE, UNLESS CUSTOMER OPTS OUT PURSUANT TO THE INSTRUCTIONS IN THE ARBITRATION AGREEMENT, THE EXCLUSIVE USE OF FINAL AND BINDING ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS TO RESOLVE DISPUTES BETWEEN YOU AND US, INCLUDING ANY CLAIMS THAT AROSE OR WERE ASSERTED BEFORE YOU AGREED TO THIS AGREEMENT.— Excerpt from Supabase's Supabase Terms of Service
REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: Mandatory arbitration clauses in B2B and B2C contracts are subject to scrutiny under the Federal Arbitration Act (FAA) in the US, and the FTC has authority to challenge arbitration provisions that are deceptive or unfair. In the EU/EEA, mandatory arbitration of consumer disputes may be unenforceable under Directive 93/13/EEC on unfair contract terms and national implementing legislation; however, as this agreement primarily targets business customers, the consumer directive applicability depends on the user's status. GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Medium. The provision applies broadly to all disputes including pre-agreement claims, which is broader than some standard commercial arbitration clauses. The retroactive reach to claims that arose before agreement acceptance may face enforceability challenges in certain jurisdictions. JURISDICTION FLAGS: EU/EEA customers may find this clause unenforceable or inapplicable under local law. California-based customers should note the FAA governs and California arbitration law may apply supplementally. Business customers in Singapore, where Supabase is incorporated, should assess enforceability under Singapore's Arbitration Act. CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Procurement teams contracting with Supabase should log the 30-day opt-out window from contract execution and assess whether arbitration aligns with organizational dispute resolution policy. The clause shifts dispute resolution costs and logistics to the customer in a format that typically favors the repeat-player party. COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Legal teams should exercise the opt-out right if organizational policy requires court access; confirm opt-out notice is sent in writing to legal@supabase.io within 30 days of first acceptance; and document the opt-out for contractual records.
