Profile Terms & Privacy Notice

YOU AGREE TO THE ARBITRATION AGREEMENT AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER DESCRIBED BELOW TO RESOLVE ANY DISPUTES WITH NETFLIX (EXCEPT FOR MATTERS THAT MAY BE TAKEN TO SMALL CLAIMS COURT).

Profile Privacy Notice

This Profile Privacy Notice explains our practices, including your choices, regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of certain personal information, including your email address by the Netflix family of companies ("Netflix"). Netflix will send you certain emails as described when you provided your email address. If you no longer want to receive emails from us, please use the "Notification  Settings" for the relevant profile within the “Account” section of our website.  Alternatively, you may click the "unsubscribe" link in the email. 

We may also use your email address to send you marketing messages on third party services using "matched identifier communications." To learn more, see the section “Your Rights and Controls → Communications and Marketing Preferences → Matched Identifier Communications from Netflix” in the Netflix Privacy Statement. You can indicate your choices in the “Privacy and data settings” (for the relevant profile) within the “Account” section of our website.

The member whose account you are using may share the account with individuals in their household. Please be aware that the member, and others with whom the account has been shared or made accessible, can see the profile information such as your email address, viewing history, recommendations, and game related information (such as chat contents and saved game information). Note that profiles are available to everyone who uses the Netflix account, so that anyone with access to the account can navigate to and use, edit or delete profiles. The Netflix Privacy Statement also applies (except sections that only apply to the member, such as those related to payments).

Arbitration Agreement and Class Action Waiver

You and Netflix agree that any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating in any way to the Netflix service or this Profile Terms & Privacy Notice, including this arbitration agreement and class action waiver (“Arbitration Provision”) shall be determined by binding arbitration or in small claims court. Arbitration is more informal than a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, allows for more limited discovery than in court, and is subject to very limited review by courts. Arbitrators can award the same damages and relief that a court can award and nothing in this Arbitration Provision shall be interpreted as limiting any non-waivable statutory rights. You agree that, by agreeing to this Arbitration Provision, the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of the Arbitration Provision, and that you and Netflix are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action. This Arbitration Provision shall survive the termination of the Netflix membership that you are using.

If you elect to seek arbitration or file a small claim court action, you must first send to Netflix, by certified mail, a written Notice of your claim ("Notice"). The Notice to Netflix must be addressed to: General Counsel, Netflix, Inc., 121 Albright Way, Los Gatos, CA 95032  ("Notice Address"). If Netflix initiates arbitration, it will send a written Notice to the email address used for your profile. A Notice, whether sent by you or by Netflix, must (a) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (b) set forth the specific relief sought ("Demand"). If Netflix and you do not reach an agreement to resolve the claim within 30 days after the Notice is received, you or Netflix may commence an arbitration proceeding or file a claim in small claims court.

You may download or copy a form Notice and a form to initiate arbitration at www.adr.org. If you are required to pay a filing fee, after Netflix receives notice at the Notice Address that you have commenced arbitration, Netflix will reimburse you for your payment of the filing fee, unless your claim is for greater than US$10,000, in which event you will be responsible for filing fees.

The arbitration will be governed by the Consumer Arbitration Rules (the "AAA Rules") of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"), as modified by this Arbitration Provision, and will be administered by the AAA. The AAA Rules and Forms are available online at www.adr.org or by writing to the Notice Address. The arbitrator is bound by the terms of this Arbitration Provision. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, including issues relating to the scope and enforceability of this Arbitration Provision. Unless Netflix and you agree otherwise, any arbitration hearings will take place in the county (or parish) of your residence. The arbitrator's award shall be final and binding on all parties, except (1) for judicial review expressly permitted by law or (2) if the arbitrator's award includes an award of injunctive relief against a party, in which case that party shall have the right to seek judicial review of the injunctive relief in a court of competent jurisdiction that shall not be bound by the arbitrator's application or conclusions of law.

If your claim is for US$10,000 or less, we agree that you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, through a telephonic hearing, or by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules. If your claim exceeds US$10,000, the right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator shall issue a reasoned written decision explaining the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based. If the arbitrator issues you an award that is greater than the value of Netflix's last written settlement offer made before an arbitrator was selected (or if Netflix did not make a settlement offer before an arbitrator was selected), then Netflix will pay you the amount of the award or US$5,000, whichever is greater. Except as expressly set forth herein, the payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA Rules.

YOU AND NETFLIX AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, unless both you and Netflix agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims with your claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. If this specific provision is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this arbitration provision shall be null and void.
