Epic Games Terms of Service

The Epic Games Terms of Service is a comprehensive legal agreement governing use of Epic's games (Fortnite, Fall Guys, Rocket League), Unreal Editor for Fortnite, PostParty, In-Game Content, and associated services including Epic Games Accounts, social features, and payment systems, operating under a license-not-sale model with North Carolina law as governing law for U.S. users. The agreement states that licensed products and In-Game Content are never owned by users but are revocable, non-transferable licenses, and the terms authorize Epic to terminate accounts, modify or remove content at any time, and bind users to mandatory arbitration with a class action waiver for disputes. Notable provisions include an explicit prohibition on using extracted game code or content as training input for Generative AI Programs, a 30-day opt-out window for mandatory arbitration, a limitation of liability capped at amounts paid in the prior six months, and a broad parental liability clause making guardians financially responsible for minor account activity to the extent permitted by law. The agreement engages COPPA (for users under 13 in the U.S.), GDPR and UK GDPR (for EU and UK users respectively), CCPA (for California residents), and consumer protection frameworks in multiple jurisdictions; the terms themselves acknowledge that certain provisions including arbitration and class action waivers may not be enforceable outside the United States due to local law, creating material jurisdictional variance that compliance teams should evaluate by region.
