“ACTIVISION MAY SUSPEND, TERMINATE, MODIFY, OR DELETE ANY ACCOUNT AT ANY TIME FOR ANY REASON OR FOR NO REASON, WITH OR WITHOUT NOTICE TO YOU, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.”
“you and Activision agree to submit all Disputes between us to individual, binding arbitration pursuant to the provisions in this Section 4.”
“YOU AND ACTIVISION AGREE THAT EACH PARTY MAY BRING DISPUTES AGAINST THE OTHER PARTY ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A CLASS ACTION, COLLECTIVE ACTION OR CLASS ARBITRATION, OR AS A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL.”
“Activision may monitor and/or record your communications (including without limitation chat text or voice communications) when you are using a Product, and you hereby provide your irrevocable, express consent to such monitoring and recording.”
“You have the right to withdraw from this Agreement within 14 calendar days without giving any reason.”
This document sets the rules for using Activision's games and services. Most notably, you must resolve any disputes with Activision through individual arbitration rather than in court—unless you send written notice opting out within 30 days of purchase. Activision can close or modify your account at any time without warning, you do not own any in-game content you purchase, and Activision's financial liability to you is capped at what you paid in the past twelve months.
Activision's Terms of Use establish the core conditions under which users access its Products, imposing binding individual arbitration and a class action waiver on all disputes, with a 30-day opt-out window from the date of purchase. Activision retains sole, unconditioned discretion to suspend, terminate, modify, or delete any account at any time, for any reason or no reason, with or without notice. Liability is strictly capped at amounts paid in the twelve months preceding a claim, with all indirect, incidental, special, exemplary, punitive, and consequential damages excluded. Users provide irrevocable, express consent to monitoring and recording of their communications during Product use, and acquire no ownership or property interest in Service Provided Content. EEA consumers hold a 14-calendar-day withdrawal right, and all users are prohibited from using or distributing unauthorized software, cheats, or automation tools in connection with the Product.
As a user, your most time-sensitive action is deciding whether to opt out of binding arbitration and the class action waiver: you must send written notice to Activision within 30 days of purchasing the Product to preserve your right to litigate disputes in court or participate in class proceedings—missing that window removes those options. Your in-game communications can be monitored and recorded, and that consent cannot be revoked. You hold no property rights in Service Provided Content, so Activision may remove or alter it without owing you compensation, and any financial claim you bring against Activision is limited to what you paid in the prior twelve months. If you are an EEA consumer, you may withdraw from the Agreement entirely within 14 calendar days without giving a reason.
