Key Governance Provisions
High Credits cannot be exchanged for real currency

Users who accumulate credits cannot redeem them for cash or use them outside the Epic ecosystem, which limits their practical value.

High Suspension or termination for fraud or cheats

Epic Games can act without prior notice, meaning a user's account may be suspended or terminated before they have any opportunity to respond or dispute the finding.

High Voice and text chat stored and potentially reviewed

Voice and text chat data is retained locally and can be transmitted to Epic Games for review upon a report of a potential violation, meaning communications are not ephemeral.

High Prohibition on cheats hacks and unauthorized mods

The prohibition extends beyond active use to mere presence of cheat software on a connected device, which broadens the scope of potential enforcement action.

High Prohibition on generative AI training use

This prohibition explicitly addresses AI training use cases, preventing extracted game assets or code from being fed into AI models in any training capacity.
