“You may opt-out of the Binding Individual Arbitration requirement, but not the class action waiver set forth below in subsection 17.f, by sending written notice to Epic Games within thirty (30) days of signing up for the Licensed Products for the first time.”
“THE ARBITRATION PROCEEDINGS IN THIS SECTION WILL BE CONDUCTED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS ONLY. Under no circumstances does Epic consent to have any Disputes arbitrated using class arbitration procedures.”
“you and Epic will only bring Disputes between you and Epic that relate to any Licensed Product or the Licensed Products generally, your use or attempted use of a Licensed Product, or these Terms, in an individual capacity and shall not: seek to bring, join, or participate in any class or representative action, collective or class-wide arbitration...”
“CREDITS ARE NOT THE SAME AS CASH, GIFT CARDS, OR BANK ACCOUNTS AND CANNOT BE EXCHANGED FOR REAL CURRENCY OR OTHER ITEMS OUTSIDE THE EPIC ECOSYSTEM.”
“THE EPIC PARTIES' TOTAL LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS OR THE LICENSED PRODUCTS IS LIMITED TO THE AMOUNT YOU HAVE PAID EPIC UNDER THESE TERMS IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRIOR TO WHEN YOU SUFFERED DAMAGES”
“Epic grants you a license to Licensed Products that is: Limited (you can only use Licensed Products as expressly stated in these Terms); Personal and non-transferable (our license is just for you, not for anyone else, so you can’t share, transfer, or sell your license to our Licensed Products); Revocable (we can take it away); Non-Exclusive (we can let other people besides you use the Licensed Products); and Non-sublicensable...”
This document governs your use of Epic Games' products and services. Epic Games gives you a limited, revocable license that you cannot transfer, provides no warranties on its products, and caps what it owes you financially. If you want to opt out of mandatory individual arbitration — which prevents you from joining class actions — you must send Epic Games written notice within thirty days of first signing up.
Epic Games Terms of Service establishes the terms under which Epic Games grants users a limited, personal, non-transferable, revocable, non-exclusive, and non-sublicensable license to its Licensed Products. The document sets out binding individual arbitration as the exclusive dispute resolution mechanism, with a class arbitration waiver and a thirty-day opt-out window from first sign-up. Epic Games disclaims all warranties on its Licensed Products and in-game content, caps its total liability to amounts paid by the user in the twelve months preceding damages, and requires users to indemnify the Epic Parties against a broad range of claims and costs. Additional provisions prohibit cheat use and AI training use of extracted content, restrict credits to the Epic ecosystem, and establish Epic Games' authority to suspend or terminate accounts without prior notice upon finding evidence of fraud or cheats.
As a user, your ability to pursue legal claims against Epic Games is significantly constrained: you must arbitrate disputes individually, cannot participate in class or representative actions, and Epic Games' financial liability to you is capped at what you paid in the twelve months before your damages. Your Epic Games Account can be suspended or terminated without prior notice if Epic Games finds evidence of fraud or cheats, and voice and text chat data stored on your device may be transmitted to Epic Games if a violation is reported. Credits you earn or hold cannot be converted to real currency or used outside the Epic ecosystem. If you wish to opt out of binding individual arbitration, you must send Epic Games written notice within thirty days of first signing up for the Licensed Products.
