If a minor under 13 uses Discord or a teenager uses it without parental consent, the user is in breach of the terms and Discord can terminate the account; parents should be aware that Discord is not designed or permitted for children under 13.
The agreement grants Discord a royalty-free, sublicensable, transferable license to reproduce, modify, adapt, distribute, and display content users post on the platform, which persists for publicly shared content.

You can opt out of the arbitration clause by submitting a written opt-out notice to Discord within 30 days of first agreeing to these terms.
