Why it matters

If you need to resolve a dispute with Nintendo outside of arbitration, you may need to travel to or engage legal counsel in Washington State, which creates a significant practical barrier for most consumers.

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
