Auto-Renewal Subscription and No-Refund Policy

Why it matters

If you forget to cancel before your renewal date, you will be charged again and are unlikely to receive a refund, which can result in unexpected financial charges.

Consumer impact

Tinder's terms significantly limit your legal rights by requiring binding arbitration and waiving your right to join class action lawsuits, meaning you cannot sue Tinder in court alongside other affected users. The platform retains broad rights to use, reproduce, and display any content you upload, and subscriptions auto-renew unless proactively cancelled before the renewal date. You can opt out of the mandatory arbitration clause by sending written notice to Tinder within 30 days of first agreeing to the Terms at arbitration.reject@team.tinder.com.

What you can do

⚠️ These actions may provide transparency or partial mitigation but may not fully address the underlying issue. Effectiveness varies by jurisdiction and individual circumstances.
  • Cancel Subscription
    To cancel, go to your device's subscription settings (Apple ID > Subscriptions or Google Play > Subscriptions) or log in to Tinder on the web and navigate to Account > Manage Payment Account. Cancel before your next renewal date to avoid being charged.

Applicable agencies

  • FTC
    The FTC's updated Negative Option Rule (2023) requires clear disclosure of auto-renewal terms and easy cancellation; Tinder's policies are subject to FTC oversight.
