**New York Times Terms of Service: What You Need to Know**

The New York Times Company, along with its subsidiaries, including The Athletic, has recently updated its Terms of Service that govern the use of their products and services. These terms affect your legal rights, so it’s important to understand them before using any NYT products or services.

Here are some key points to note from the updated Terms of Service:

1. **Arbitration Agreement and Class Action Waiver:** By agreeing to the Terms of Service, you are giving up the right to go to court and have a trial by jury. Instead, disputes will be resolved through binding arbitration. You are also waiving the right to participate in class actions or class arbitration.

2. **Content on the Services:** The content on NYT services, including text, images, and videos, is protected by copyright. You may download or copy content for personal use only, but you cannot modify, publish, or distribute it without permission.

3. **User-Generated Content:** If you submit content to the Services, you must have the legal rights to do so and ensure it does not violate any laws or rights of others. NYT reserves the right to edit or remove user-generated content that is deemed inappropriate.

4. **Prohibited Use of the Services:** You are prohibited from accessing the Services in a way that could harm NYT or third parties. Use of the Services must comply with applicable laws and not infringe on intellectual property rights.

5. **Fees and Payments:** NYT may charge fees for access to certain parts of the Services. You are responsible for paying any fees incurred through your account.

6. **Software Licenses:** You are granted a limited license to use mobile applications on devices you own. You may not copy, distribute, or modify the software.

7. **Termination:** You can terminate your NYT account by contacting Customer Care. NYT may terminate or suspend your access to the Services for any reason.

8. **Governing Law:** The Terms of Service are governed by the laws of the United States of America and the State of New York. Any disputes must be filed within one year.

These are just a few highlights from the updated Terms of Service. It’s essential to read the full terms to understand your rights and obligations when using NYT products and services. If you have any questions or concerns, you can contact NYT’s Customer Care team for assistance.
