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

Forced arbitration or class-action waiver

You are agreeing to resolve disputes in private arbitration and to give up class actions.

“Class Action Waiver, Jury Trial Waiver, and Waiver of Public Injunctive Relief 6.”

What that means: You may not be able to sue in court or join a class action if something goes wrong.

Disputes are steered into arbitration and collective lawsuits are waived.

High cost

Jury trial or court access waived

You are agreeing not to have a jury decide your dispute.

“Class Action Waiver, Jury Trial Waiver, and Waiver of Public Injunctive Relief 6.”

What that means: A dispute may never be heard by a jury of the public.

The document asks you to give up a jury trial.

Medium cost

Liability shifted onto the user

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

“THE NETFLIX SERVICE AND ALL CONTENT AND SOFTWARE ASSOCIATED THEREWITH, OR ANY OTHER FEATURES OR FUNCTIONALITIES ASSOCIATED WITH THE NETFLIX SERVICE, ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITH ALL FAULTS AND WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND.”

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.

Medium cost

Auto-renewal or hard-to-cancel paid terms

You are agreeing that paid access can renew automatically until you cancel.

“Your Netflix subscription will continue and automatically renew until terminated.”

What that means: You can be charged again even if you forgot about the subscription.

Paid access renews automatically unless you cancel in time.
