Key Governance Provisions
High Mandatory Binding Arbitration for US and Canadian Users

Binding arbitration is the only available formal resolution path, and it is only accessible after the informal process is completed, foreclosing earlier or alternative litigation.

High Class Action Waiver for Non-Arbitrable Disputes

Users cannot pool claims against Discord in a class action even for disputes that escape the arbitration clause, limiting collective legal recourse.

High Mandatory Informal Dispute Resolution Before Arbitration

Users cannot initiate formal legal proceedings without first satisfying the informal resolution prerequisite, creating a procedural barrier to litigation or arbitration.

High Discord Liability Cap at Three Months of Payments or $100

Even where Discord is found liable, the maximum recoverable amount is tightly capped, which is consequential for users who have paid little or nothing.

High Discord Excludes Incidental and Consequential Damages

This exclusion removes liability for many of the most significant categories of harm users may suffer, leaving a narrow set of damages recoverable.
