Summary

These terms set the rules for using Nintendo's Services. When you post content or make submissions, Nintendo gets broad, permanent rights to that content, and anything you submit outright becomes Nintendo's property. If a dispute with Nintendo cannot be resolved informally, you must take it to individual binding arbitration — you cannot join a class action — and Nintendo can suspend or terminate your account at any time without notice or explanation.

Analysis

Nintendo's Terms of Use establish the conditions under which users may access and use Nintendo's Services. Nintendo grants users a limited, non-sublicensable, personal-use license to access the Services, while reserving the right to revoke that license, suspend or terminate user access, and modify or discontinue the Services at any time without prior notice, obligation, or liability. Users who submit User Content grant Nintendo a worldwide, royalty-free, irrevocable, perpetual, sublicenseable license to use, reproduce, modify, and display that content, and any Submissions automatically become Nintendo's sole property. Nintendo disclaims all warranties on an as-is basis, accepts no liability for User Content, requires users to indemnify the Nintendo Parties for Covered Losses arising from their use of the Services, and mandates that unresolved disputes be resolved through individual binding arbitration under AAA Commercial Arbitration Rules, with a class action waiver.

What this means for you

As a user, you give Nintendo a permanent, irrevocable right to use any content you post, and anything else you submit becomes Nintendo's sole property with no confidentiality protections. Your access to the Services can be cut off at any time, for any reason, without notice or liability to you. If you have a dispute with Nintendo that cannot be resolved directly, you must pursue it through individual binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association — you waive the right to participate in any class action.
