Unilateral Terms Modification

Medium severity
Share 𝕏 Share in Share

Why it matters

Epic can materially alter your rights and obligations with only advance notice — if you keep playing, you're bound by whatever new terms Epic introduces.

Consumer impact

Epic Games' Terms of Service significantly limit consumer rights by establishing that all game content is licensed (not owned) and can be revoked, and by requiring mandatory arbitration that waives your right to sue in court or join a class action. Parents and guardians are held financially responsible for purchases made by minors on shared or linked accounts. You can opt out of the mandatory arbitration clause by sending written notice to Epic Games Legal (legal@epicgames.com) within 30 days of first accepting these Terms.

What you can do

⚠️ These actions may provide transparency or partial mitigation but may not fully address the underlying issue. Effectiveness varies by jurisdiction and individual circumstances.
  • Close Your Account
    If you do not agree to updated Terms, you must stop using Epic Games products and can delete your account by visiting epicgames.com/help and submitting an account deletion request. Deleting your account will result in loss of access to all licensed content.

Applicable agencies

  • FTC
    Unilateral contract modifications that expand corporate rights at consumer expense may constitute unfair or deceptive practices under FTC authority.
