By using Waze, US users agree not to participate in any class action lawsuit or class-wide arbitration against the company. All disputes must be handled individually.
This analysis describes what Waze'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
The clause establishes a procedural requirement that channels disputes into arbitration, which operates under different rules and discovery standards than court litigation. This affects how disputes are adjudicated and the remedies available through each dispute resolution mechanism.
