Roblox removed two sentences from their Terms of Use on May 6, 2026. The removed language stated 'Translations are provided for your ease of understanding' and a statement that 'The English version is the primary document, unless stated otherwise.' The updated terms now present a table of contents that lists available regional appendices and translations without the disclaimers about translation status or English primacy.

1 protection removed

Consumers: Users no longer have contractual language confirming translation status or which version of the terms controls if versions conflict.

What this means for you

The updated Terms of Use no longer explicitly state that the English version is the primary document or clarify the status of translations. The removal of these disclaimers may create ambiguity about which language version is controlling in case of conflict between translated and English texts. Users operating in non-English jurisdictions no longer have contractual language confirming that translations were provided for understanding or clarifying the relationship between the English original and regional variants.

Key Clauses Affected

Translation Status Disclaimer

Removed explicit language confirming translations are provided and identifying English as primary version
