Why it matters

Parents are legally responsible for their children's use of Nintendo's services and are bound by the terms they accept on their child's behalf, including the arbitration clause.

Consumer impact

Nintendo's Terms of Use significantly shape users' legal rights by requiring binding arbitration for disputes and waiving the right to participate in class action lawsuits. The terms also grant Nintendo a broad, perpetual, royalty-free license to use any content users submit through their platforms. You can opt out of the arbitration agreement by sending written notice to Nintendo of America within 30 days of first accepting the terms.

Applicable agencies

  • FTC
    The FTC enforces COPPA, which governs the collection and use of personal information from children under 13, directly relevant to Nintendo's age restriction and parental consent provisions.
