Summary

This is the legal agreement you accept when using Epic Games products like Fortnite, Fall Guys, and Rocket League. It means you're licensing the games — not owning them — and Epic can change, suspend, or shut down access at any time. Importantly, if you have a dispute with Epic, you generally must resolve it through private arbitration rather than suing in court, unless you opt out within 30 days.

Technical Summary

The Epic Games Terms of Service govern the relationship between Epic Games, Inc. and end users of its games (Fortnite, Fall Guys, Rocket League), platforms (UEFN, PostParty), and associated services. The agreement establishes a limited, revocable, non-transferable license to use Licensed Products and In-Game Content, which are expressly not sold to users. Key provisions include mandatory binding arbitration with a 30-day opt-out window, a class action waiver, parental liability for minors' accounts and purchases, broad account suspension and termination rights, anti-cheat enforcement mechanisms including device-level scanning, restrictions on AI training use of game content, and limitations on Epic's liability to the greater of amounts paid in the prior six months or $100. The document also addresses billing, virtual currency, refund eligibility, and region-specific carve-outs for non-U.S. residents under applicable consumer protection laws.
