In short

  • Fineprint found 3 quoted terms clauses that match the consumer rubric.
  • This is a reading aid, not legal advice.

What you accept

If you tap Agree

Everyday words for the material promises and rights you give up. Each line includes a quote from the document.

  1. 01

    You are agreeing that these rules can follow you to other products, venues, or affiliates of the company.

    Other products, stores, or brands

    “If you do not agree to this contract (“Contract” or “User Agreement”), do not create an account or access or otherwise use any of our Services.”
  2. 02

    You are agreeing that the company can change these terms and treat continued use as acceptance.

    This product

    “To the extent that laws allow this, we are not obligated to publish any content or other information on our Services and can remove it with or without notice.”
  3. 03

    You are agreeing to limit the company’s liability and, in some cases, to indemnify it.

    This product

    “LINKEDIN AND ITS AFFILIATES MAKE NO REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY ABOUT THE SERVICES, INCLUDING ANY REPRESENTATION THAT THE SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE, AND PROVIDE THE SERVICES (INCLUDING CONTENT, OUTPUT AND INFORMATION) ON AN “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS.”

What it can cost you

Downsides we could quote

Quoted clauses that can affect your privacy, money, or right to go to court — including terms that follow you to other products.

Highest-cost clauses first

High cost

Terms follow you to parks, stores, and other products

You are agreeing that these rules can follow you to other products, venues, or affiliates of the company.

“If you do not agree to this contract (“Contract” or “User Agreement”), do not create an account or access or otherwise use any of our Services.”

What that means: A click in one product can later be used to block a lawsuit about a park, store, or different service.

Accepting this document can bind you beyond this app — including physical venues or sister brands.

Medium cost

Unilateral changes with little or no notice

You are agreeing that the company can change these terms and treat continued use as acceptance.

“To the extent that laws allow this, we are not obligated to publish any content or other information on our Services and can remove it with or without notice.”

What that means: Rights you have today can shrink later without a clear opt-in.

The company can change the rules, often treating continued use as consent.

Medium cost

Liability shifted onto the user

You are agreeing to limit the company’s liability and, in some cases, to indemnify it.

“LINKEDIN AND ITS AFFILIATES MAKE NO REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY ABOUT THE SERVICES, INCLUDING ANY REPRESENTATION THAT THE SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE, AND PROVIDE THE SERVICES (INCLUDING CONTENT, OUTPUT AND INFORMATION) ON AN “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS.”

What that means: If the service harms you, the contract tries to leave you with little recourse.

Liability is shifted toward the user through waivers or indemnity.

If these terms already apply to you

Keep this list. Fineprint cannot undo or cancel something you already agreed to at the company.

We cannot see Agree on their site. With Premium, tap “I accepted these terms” if you already agreed to what LinkedIn asks.
