What it is

If there are any differences between the English version of these Terms and a translated version, the English version is always the legally binding one.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

If you read Activision's Terms in a language other than English and the translation differs from the English original, the English version controls — meaning you may have agreed to terms you did not fully understand.

IN CASE OF DISCREPANCIES BETWEEN THE ENGLISH TEXT VERSION OF THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY TRANSLATION, THE ENGLISH VERSION SHALL PREVAIL.

Institutional analysis (Compliance & legal intelligence)

REGULATORY FRAMEWORK: Language supremacy clauses in consumer contracts are governed by national consumer protection laws in each jurisdiction. In the EU, Directive 93/13/EEC (Unfair Contract Terms Directive) and national implementing legislation in many member states require that consumer contracts be drafted in the language of the country where the consumer resides, and terms that are unclear or incomprehensible may be rendered void. France's Loi Toubon requires contracts with French consumers to be in French. Germany's BGB § 305 requires consumer contract terms to be clear and comprehensible. The UK's Consumer Rights Act 2015 similarly requires transparent contract terms.
