Discord Terms of Service

This document governs access to and use of Discord's platform, including its messaging, voice, video, and community services, and is structured as a binding contract between Discord Inc. and any individual who accesses or uses the service. The agreement states that users grant Discord a broad, royalty-free, sublicensable, transferable license to use, reproduce, modify, adapt, distribute, and display user-submitted content, and the terms authorize Discord to suspend or terminate accounts at its discretion for violations of its Community Guidelines, Terms of Service, or other policies. The content license asserted is perpetual in scope for content shared publicly, and the agreement reserves the right to modify terms with as little as 30 days notice by continued use constituting acceptance, which may interact with consumer protection frameworks in certain jurisdictions that require affirmative consent to material changes. The terms engage GDPR for EU and EEA users, COPPA and CCPA for US-based minors and California residents respectively, and include a mandatory arbitration clause with class action waiver applicable to US users, which may require evaluation under applicable state and federal consumer protection law; EU and UK users are explicitly carved out from arbitration and subject to jurisdiction-specific dispute resolution terms.
