Readers must waive jury trial and class‑action rights under the outlet’s new subscription terms, which also detail privacy rules for apps and newsletters.

The outlet’s subscription agreement now requires readers to waive the right to a jury trial and to join any class‑action lawsuit.

By signing up, users confirm they have read and accepted the Terms of Use, which contain the waivers, and the Privacy Policy, which outlines data collection, use and sharing practices.

The agreement specifies that advertising restrictions do not apply to the outlet’s mobile apps, free newsletters, podcasts or sponsored content. Those channels remain exempt from the limits that govern other advertising formats.

The Privacy Policy states that the outlet gathers personal information such as email addresses, device identifiers and usage data. It may share that information with service providers, advertisers and partners for targeted messaging and analytics.

Subscribers who do not agree with the waivers or data practices are advised that they cannot complete the registration process. The outlet does not offer an alternative agreement without the waivers.

Legal experts note that jury‑trial waivers are common in online contracts, though they can be challenged in court if deemed unconscionable. Class‑action waivers similarly limit collective legal actions, directing disputes to individual arbitration.

The outlet’s statement does not mention any upcoming changes to the policy, nor does it provide a timeline for potential revisions. It merely reiterates that the current terms govern all new subscriptions effective immediately.

Consumers seeking clarification can review the full Terms of Use and Privacy Policy on the outlet’s website before completing the sign‑up process.
