This provision requires users to pursue claims individually through arbitration, which means disputes cannot be aggregated into class actions. The clause also waives the right to a jury trial for covered disputes. Enforceability of class action waivers may be limited in certain jurisdictions, including California under some consumer protection contexts and EU member states under consumer rights directives.
Interpretive note: Enforceability of the class action waiver varies by jurisdiction; EU and California users may retain rights that override this provision under applicable consumer protection law.
Under this clause, covered disputes between a creator or student and Teachable must proceed through individual arbitration. The agreement prohibits class, consolidated, or representative actions, meaning users cannot join with others to pursue collective claims against the platform.

"You and Teachable agree to resolve any disputes through final and binding arbitration, except as set forth under Exceptions to Agreement to Arbitrate below. You also agree that disputes will only be resolved on an individual basis and not as a class, consolidated, or representative action.— Excerpt from Teachable's Teachable Terms of Use
1. REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: This provision engages the Federal Arbitration Act (FAA) in the US, which generally supports enforcement of arbitration agreements. It also interacts with California consumer protection law and the EU Unfair Contract Terms Directive, both of which may limit enforceability of mandatory arbitration and class action waivers against consumers. The FTC has signaled interest in scrutinizing arbitration clauses that limit consumer remedies. State AGs in California, New York, and other states have authority to challenge such provisions under state consumer protection statutes. 2. GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Medium. Mandatory individual arbitration clauses are common in US platform agreements but face meaningful enforceability questions in EU and UK consumer contexts. The class action waiver is the higher-exposure element, as California courts and some federal circuits have carved out exceptions for certain consumer claims. 3. JURISDICTION FLAGS: EU and UK users may retain litigation and collective redress rights under applicable consumer protection law regardless of this clause. California residents may have additional protections under CLRA and other state statutes. Illinois, New York, and other states with active consumer protection enforcement also create heightened exposure. 4. CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Institutional buyers contracting for Teachable enterprise services should evaluate whether this arbitration clause applies to B2B agreements or only consumer-facing terms, and whether their own standard terms supersede or conflict with this provision. Indemnification and liability cap provisions in the same agreement interact with this clause by limiting both the forum and the recoverable amount. 5. COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Legal teams should assess whether the arbitration opt-out mechanism is clearly disclosed and accessible, particularly for EU and UK users where mandatory arbitration for consumers may be unenforceable. Compliance programs should document which user categories are subject to this clause and whether local law overrides apply.
