This provision establishes the contractual basis under which Roblox asserts that virtual currency and content purchases are non-refundable, which has particular operational significance for minor users whose parents or guardians are held responsible for all purchases, and for users in jurisdictions with statutory digital content refund rights.
Interpretive note: The enforceability of the no-refund policy depends on applicable consumer protection law in the user's jurisdiction, which may provide statutory rights that supersede the contractual provision.
Roblox removed substantial portions of its Terms of Use, including sections covering dispute resolution, arbitration agreements, and class action waivers, which historically limited user remedies in disputes. The removal of language governing payments, refunds, user accounts, and intellectual property rights creates uncertainty about what protections or obligations currently apply, as replacements have not been provided in the change summary. Users should review the updated full terms when available to understand how disputes will be handled, what account protections exist, and how refunds and payments are governed.
View change record →The updated terms reorganize and clarify existing policies rather than imposing new restrictions. Roblox consolidated AI-related terms from supplemental documents into the main Terms of Use, added clarifying language about how creator content may be used in marketing and advertising, expanded disclosures about ad personalization and targeting practices, and provided additional detail on moderation procedures and group/community owner responsibilities. Practically, users and creators will find AI feature terms more prominently disclosed in the main agreement rather than in supplemental annexes, and the platform provides expanded transparency around advertiser eligibility and how ads are targeted based on personalization preferences.
View change record →The updated Terms of Use incorporate previously separate AI tool disclosures and advertising policies directly into the main user and creator agreement sections. The document now includes regional appendices addressing compliance requirements for the EU/EEA, UK, Australia, China, Japan, and Vietnam, which may apply different terms or restrictions based on your location. The restructuring removes the standalone change summary that previously explained these updates in plain language, relocating that information throughout the terms document itself.
View change record →Under these terms, purchases of Robux and virtual content are treated as final with no real-world value recovery. Parents and guardians are contractually responsible for all purchases made through minor accounts, including unauthorized purchases made using their payment credentials.

"Virtual Content has no real world equivalent value and Users do not acquire any enforceable legal rights in and to any Virtual Content based on any transaction on the Services. Robux are not a substitute for real currency, do not earn interest, and have no equivalent value in real currency.Excerpt from Roblox's Terms of Use
(1) REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: The no-refund policy on digital currency purchases engages the EU Consumer Rights Directive, UK Consumer Rights Act 2015, and Australian Consumer Law, all of which provide non-waivable statutory rights for consumers in relation to digital content. The FTC Act and state consumer protection statutes in the U.S. may also be engaged where the no-refund policy is applied to minor users without adequate parental controls or disclosures. (2) GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Medium. The policy is common in virtual economy platforms but creates regulatory exposure in jurisdictions where statutory refund rights for digital content cannot be contractually excluded. The parental liability provision for minor purchases amplifies this exposure in the context of unauthorized or accidental purchases. (3) JURISDICTION FLAGS: EU and UK regional appendices may modify the no-refund policy to account for statutory cooling-off rights. Australian Consumer Law provides non-excludable guarantees for digital goods. California's consumer protection law may be relevant to the enforceability of no-refund terms for minors. (4) CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Platform operators or institutional purchasers should note that the no-refund policy applies to all Robux and virtual content transactions, and that refund eligibility depends on applicable law in the user's jurisdiction rather than a platform-wide refund process. (5) COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Compliance teams should verify that refund policies disclosed in purchase flows accurately reflect statutory rights available to users in each operating jurisdiction, and that regional appendices are operationally implemented in a manner consistent with local consumer protection requirements.
