Summary

This is Activision's Terms of Use agreement, which governs your use of all Activision games, websites, apps, and online services including Call of Duty titles. The most important thing to know is that by using any Activision product, you waive your right to sue Activision in court as part of a class action lawsuit and agree to resolve disputes through individual binding arbitration instead. If you want to opt out of the arbitration clause, you should review Section 4 of the agreement immediately and act within any applicable opt-out window described there.

Technical Summary

This document is Activision's Terms of Use (dated September 5, 2025) governing all use of Activision websites, applications, accounts, products, and services, establishing a contractual relationship through a clickwrap/browse-wrap mechanism that requires users to affirm adult legal age or obtain parental consent. The agreement imposes significant obligations including a grant of a broad, irrevocable, perpetual, royalty-free license to Activision over any user-generated content submitted through any Product, and restricts users from reverse engineering, redistributing, or commercially exploiting any Activision software or services. Notably, Section 4 contains mandatory binding arbitration with a class action waiver — prominently disclosed at the top of the document — which materially limits users' ability to pursue collective legal remedies and represents a significant restriction on consumer legal rights. The document engages the Federal Arbitration Act (FAA), COPPA (given its age-of-majority affirmation requirement), CCPA for California residents, GDPR for EU/EEA users, and FTC Act Section 5 regarding unfair or deceptive trade practices; compliance teams should note that the arbitration clause's enforceability is subject to ongoing judicial scrutiny and that the UGC license grant may implicate IP ownership disputes and platform liability under 47 U.S.C. § 230.
