Terms of Service Updates
Mandatory Arbitration and Class Action Waiver Added
New version introduces binding arbitration for dispute resolution with a waiver of class action rights. Users must now resolve disputes through arbitration rather than litigation, with limited exceptions. This significantly restricts user legal remedies and access to courts.
Effective: April 19, 2024
Unilateral Termination Rights Expanded
New version grants Company right to terminate accounts 'at any time, for any or no reason, with or without prior notice or explanation.' Previous version did not explicitly address Company's termination authority. This gives Company unilateral power to remove user access without justification.
Effective: April 19, 2024
Company Identity and Ownership Changed
Service provider changed from 'The Weather Company, LLC' to 'Fox News Network, LLC.' This represents a complete change in company ownership and control. All intellectual property rights and service governance now rest with Fox News Network instead of TWC.
Effective: April 19, 2024
