What it is

Any content you create and upload to Roblox gives the company a permanent, free license to use, modify, share, and build on your content in any way related to running the platform.

This analysis describes what Roblox's agreement states, permits, or reserves. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Regulatory applicability and practical outcomes may vary by jurisdiction, enforcement context, and individual circumstances. Read our methodology

ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

The agreement grants Roblox a perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free, sublicensable license to user content, which means creators do not receive compensation when Roblox uses or sublicenses their uploaded content and cannot revoke this license after submission.

Interpretive note: The practical operation of the perpetual and irrevocable license may be limited by applicable law in certain jurisdictions, including EU member states with creator rights protections and GDPR erasure rights where content contains personal data.

Recent Activity

This document changed recently

Medium Mar 8, 2026

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.
