“Any matter we are unable to resolve...shall be finally settled by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association in accordance with the provisions of its Commercial Arbitration Rules...”
“If you submit or post User Content to the Services, unless we indicate otherwise, you grant Nintendo a worldwide, royalty-free, irrevocable, perpetual, non-exclusive, and sublicenseable license to use, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, translate, distribute, perform, and display such User Content...”
“ANY SUCH ARBITRATION SHALL BE CONDUCTED BY THE PARTIES IN THEIR INDIVIDUAL CAPACITIES ONLY AND NOT AS A CLASS ACTION OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVE ACTION, AND THE PARTIES WAIVE THEIR RIGHT TO FILE A CLASS ACTION...”
“Nintendo claims no ownership or control, takes responsibility for, or assumes liability for any User Content posted, stored or uploaded by you or any third party, or for any loss or damage thereto.”

“Nintendo reserves the right, and has absolute discretion, to access, use, monitor, disclose or preserve information associated with your use of the Services, including, without limitation, User Content...”
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.
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.
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.
