If a parent or guardian sets up or accepts these Terms for a minor's Epic Games Account, they are personally responsible for all purchases and activity on that account, including those made by the minor.
This analysis describes what Epic Games's agreement states, permits, or reserves. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Regulatory applicability and practical outcomes may vary by jurisdiction, enforcement context, and individual circumstances. Read our methodology
The clause operationalizes parental accountability by requiring the accepting parent or guardian to serve as the legally responsible party for account activity, creating a direct contractual obligation between the parent and Epic Games rather than limiting liability to the minor alone.
Parents and guardians who create or authorize Epic Games Accounts for minors take on full financial liability for all transactions, including unauthorized or accidental purchases made by the child. Setting up parental controls and purchase PIN codes within the Epic Games account settings can help limit this exposure.

"For any parents or guardians reading this: If you accept these Terms on behalf of a minor in your care for their Epic Games Account, you are agreeing to the Terms on your own behalf and on behalf of the minor. You agree that you will be responsible for all use of the Licensed Products (defined below) by you or the minor. You will be responsible for any purchases or other transactions made from the Epic Games Account, including those made by the minor, to the extent permitted by law.— Excerpt from Epic Games's Epic Games Terms of Service
This provision creates explicit contractual liability for guardians, which intersects with COPPA obligations regarding minors' data and consent; compliance teams should note that Epic's parental consent model places financial burden on guardians without a clear cap on liability.
