This new provision grants Epic broad perpetual rights to exploit user-generated content including derivative works, which could significantly impact creators sharing content through the platform.
This new provision formalizes Epic's unilateral right to modify terms with only advance notice for material changes, giving users limited practical recourse beyond account deletion.
This new provision prohibits not only cheats but also having cheat software 'present on or connected to your device,' which expands monitoring scope beyond actual game activity to device-level presence.
This new provision establishes North Carolina as the exclusive governing law, limiting user ability to apply more favorable jurisdictional laws.
The removal of this specific anti-cheat scanning provision as a standalone item suggests its consolidation into the new 'Gameplay Integrity and Anti-Cheat Monitoring' provision with broader language.
The removal of this provision from the explicit terms list may indicate changes to refund policies or virtual currency handling, though this is not reflected in the current version data.
This was replaced by the new 'Right to Modify Terms' provision, which now includes specific procedures for notifying users of material changes rather than unilateral modification without notice.
The two separate provisions (Mandatory Binding Arbitration and Class Action and Jury Trial Waiver) were consolidated into a single combined provision with explicit language about waiving lawsuit rights.
The provision was renamed from 'Revocable License' to 'License Not Sale' and now explicitly emphasizes the non-ownership aspect with specific language about permissions versus ownership.
The provision was expanded with more explicit language and now specifically references 'Guardian' in the title and includes direct address language ('For any parents or guardians reading this').
The severity was downgraded from 'high' to 'medium' in the current version, and specific quantified liability caps ($100 USD or 6-month payment history) were added.
The provision was renamed from 'AI Training Prohibition' to 'Generative AI Content Prohibition' and now includes a specific definition of 'Generative AI Program' with examples.
The provision now includes specific enumerated grounds (a-f) for suspension/termination, adding clarity about multi-account violations and inactivity thresholds.
