20Disclaimers1 clause

⚠️

Full "as is" disclaimer of all warranties

▶Show original legal text

“THE FITBIT SERVICE AND FITBIT CONTENT ARE PROVIDED "AS IS," WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND. Fitbit disclaims all express or implied warranties including merchantability, fitness for particular purpose, quiet enjoyment, and non-infringement.”

21Indemnity1 clause

⚠️

Broad indemnification obligation

🛡️Limits their liability

21-A

💬 If anyone sues Fitbit because of something you did while using the service, you're on the hook to pay all their legal costs and damages — even if Fitbit's own product contributed to the problem.

▶Show original legal text

“You indemnify and hold harmless Fitbit, its officers, directors, employees, affiliates, agents, licensors, and contractors from claims, suits, actions, demands, and liabilities arising from: Your access or use of the Service, Your Content, Your breach of warranties or Terms, Your violation of law or third-party rights.”

22Limitation of Liability2 clauses

🔴

Consequential damages completely excluded

22-A

💬 Even if Fitbit's product causes you to lose important health data or suffer other real harm, they won't pay for any indirect damages like lost data or service disruptions.

▶Show original legal text

“Neither Fitbit, suppliers, licensors, nor other parties involved in creating or delivering the Service are liable for incidental, special, exemplary, or consequential damages, including lost profits, data loss, service interruption, or system failure.”

🔴

Liability capped at $100

🛡️Limits their liability

22-B

💬 The most Fitbit will ever pay you, no matter what goes wrong, is what you paid them — or just $100 if you haven't paid anything. Given that Fitbit devices cost $100-$300+ and track health data, this is very limiting.

▶Show original legal text

“Fitbit's total liability arising out of or in connection with these Terms or from the use of or inability to use the Fitbit Service will not exceed the amounts you have paid to Fitbit for use of the Fitbit Service or One Hundred Dollars ($100), if you have not had any payment obligations.”

23Dispute Resolution4 clauses

🔴

Mandatory binding arbitration

⚖️Forced arbitration

23-A

💬 You can't sue Fitbit in court. Instead, disputes go to private arbitration, which can be less transparent and harder for consumers to navigate than a public court proceeding.

▶Show original legal text

“Disputes arising from these Terms, the Service, or Fitbit products/services must be resolved through arbitration, not court.”

🔴

Class action waiver

🚫No class action

23-B

💬 You can't join other consumers in a class action lawsuit against Fitbit. Even if millions of users are affected by the same issue, each person must fight individually, making it uneconomical to pursue small claims.

▶Show original legal text

“You may only resolve Disputes with Fitbit on an individual basis, and may not bring a claim as a plaintiff or a class member in a class, consolidated, or representative action.”

🔴

One-year statute of limitations on claims

📍Jurisdiction

23-C

💬 You only have one year to bring any legal claim against Fitbit — far shorter than the typical 2-6 year statutes of limitation. If you discover a problem after one year, you're out of luck.

▶Show original legal text

“Any claim must be filed within one year or be barred forever.”

⚠️

Jury trial waiver

📍Jurisdiction

23-D

💬 Even if your dispute somehow ends up in court instead of arbitration, you've waived your right to a jury trial — a judge alone will decide your case.

▶Show original legal text

“Both parties consent to venue and jurisdiction and waive jury trial rights.”

24General Terms2 clauses

⚠️

Continued use equals acceptance of changed terms

📝Can change terms anytime

24-A

💬 Fitbit can change these terms and your continued use of the service means you automatically agree, even if you didn't read the changes.

PS-6Paid Services - Safety Signal1 clause

🔴

No liability for safety/emergency features
