Unity updated its dispute resolution procedures on May 23, 2026 by reorganizing how governing law and arbitration rules apply across different geographic regions. The updated terms now explicitly specify that users located in England will have disputes administered by the London Court of International Arbitration under New York law, whereas previously England was not explicitly listed. The terms also reorganized the table structure for other regions (China/Hong Kong/Macau, Asia-Pacific, and worldwide) to clarify which arbitration institution and governing law applies to each location, but the substantive arbitration rules and procedures for those regions remain unchanged.

What this means for you

The updated terms clarify that users in England will have disputes resolved through the London Court of International Arbitration, with disputes governed by New York law rather than English law. Previously, England was not explicitly listed in the dispute resolution table, creating ambiguity about which arbitration rules and governing law would apply. The revised language removes this ambiguity but establishes that England-based users will proceed through arbitration in London under New York substantive law. Users in other regions (Asia-Pacific, China/Hong Kong/Macau, and worldwide locations) see reorganized dispute resolution tables with the same arbitration rules and governing law, but clearer formatting.
