What it is

You are confirming you are a legal adult when you use Activision's services; if you are a minor, a parent or legal guardian must agree to the terms on your behalf.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

Parents and guardians of minors who use Activision products are legally responsible for consenting to these terms on behalf of their children, and failure to do so may mean children are using services without adequate legal protections in place.

Why it matters (compliance & risk perspective)

This provision is the primary mechanism Activision uses to comply with children's privacy laws like COPPA; if parents do not actively review and consent, minors may be using services under terms that lack proper legal authorization.

View original clause language
YOU MUST BE AND HEREBY AFFIRM THAT YOU ARE AN ADULT OF THE LEGAL AGE OF MAJORITY IN YOUR COUNTRY OR STATE OF RESIDENCE. If you are under the legal age of majority, your parent or legal guardian must consent to this agreement.

Institutional analysis (Compliance & legal intelligence)

REGULATORY FRAMEWORK: This provision directly implicates COPPA (15 U.S.C. § 6501 et seq.) and its implementing regulations (16 C.F.R. Part 312), which require verifiable parental consent before collecting personal information from children under 13. The FTC is the primary enforcement authority for COPPA. In the EU, GDPR Art. 8 sets the age of digital consent at 16 (or lower if member states specify, with a floor of 13), and processing of minors' data requires parental consent below that threshold. The UK GDPR and Children's Code (ICO Age Appropriate Design Code) impose additional design and consent obligations for services likely to be accessed by children.
