Forced arbitration

Section 19 of Coffee Meets Bagel's Terms of Use states that the user, by accepting the terms of service, waives their right to litigation. In particular, the terms of service prohibit customers' from participation in any kind of class action and limits claims to the customers' individual capacity. In addition, prior to any action, the terms of service stipulate that a "pre-demand notice" be physically mailed to Coffee Meets Bagel offices that has to meet certain criteria.

The forced-arbitration clause was added in March 2024, shortly after Coffee Meets Bagel changed how its premium subscription worked (in December 2023) and denied refund requests to users who were past their refund period.^{[citation needed]}
