McDonald's Terms of Use

This document governs use of McDonald's US website and digital services, establishing the legal basis for interaction between users and McDonald's USA, LLC and its affiliates. The agreement states that users must be at least 13 years old to use the site, that continued use constitutes acceptance of the terms, and the terms authorize McDonald's to modify the agreement at any time with notice provided by posting updated terms. The agreement contains a mandatory binding arbitration clause with a class action waiver, requiring individual arbitration of disputes rather than court proceedings, and reserves a 30-day opt-out window for new users; the terms also assert a broad intellectual property license over user-submitted content. The document engages the FTC Act regarding unfair or deceptive practices, COPPA regarding age-gating at 13, and state consumer protection frameworks particularly for California and Illinois residents; the arbitration and class action waiver provisions may require evaluation under applicable state law, as certain jurisdictions have challenged the enforceability of such waivers. The banner disclosure on the page explicitly notes recent updates to age requirements and the arbitration and dispute resolution process, signaling material amendments that existing users are deemed to have accepted upon continued use.
