What it can cost you

Downsides we could quote

Quoted clauses that can affect your privacy, money, or right to go to court — including terms that follow you to other products.

Highest-cost clauses first

High cost

In-app charges or kids’ spending

You are agreeing you may be charged for in-app or family purchases, including ones a child starts.

“## Data Charges You are responsible for any mobile charges that you may incur for using our services.”

What that means: You can be billed for purchases you did not mean to make, including by a child.

Charges can happen in the app or on a shared family device without a clear extra confirmation.

High cost

Forced arbitration or class-action waiver

You are agreeing to resolve disputes in private arbitration and to give up class actions.

“” Only after engaging in the Informal Dispute Resolution process set forth in these Terms, and only after those efforts fail to resolve the Dispute, then either Party may initiate binding arbitration as the sole means to resolve Disputes, subject to the terms of this Agreement to Arbitrate and the applicable arbitration rules.”

What that means: You may not be able to sue in court or join a class action if something goes wrong.

Disputes are steered into arbitration and collective lawsuits are waived.

High cost

Terms follow you to parks, stores, and other products

You are agreeing that these rules can follow you to other products, venues, or affiliates of the company.

“** Among other things, this includes trying to gain access to, intentionally overburdening, or attacking our systems; scraping our services without our written consent, including by using any robot, spider, crawler, scraper, or other automatic device, process, or software; selling, licensing, or otherwise commercializing content or data obtained from our services; transmitting viruses or other mal”

What that means: A click in one product can later be used to block a lawsuit about a park, store, or different service.

Accepting this document can bind you beyond this app — including physical venues or sister brands.

High cost

Jury trial or court access waived

You are agreeing not to have a jury decide your dispute.

“ARBITRATION MEANS THAT YOU WAIVE YOUR RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL.”

What that means: A dispute may never be heard by a jury of the public.

The document asks you to give up a jury trial.

Medium cost

Unilateral changes with little or no notice

You are agreeing that the company can change these terms and treat continued use as acceptance.

“Subject to applicable law, we reserve the right to suspend or terminate your account and/or your access to some or all of our services with or without notice, at our discretion for any reason, or for the following reasons: - You breach, or you encourage or help others to breach, these terms (including, our [Community Guidelines](https://discord.”

What that means: Rights you have today can shrink later without a clear opt-in.

The company can change the rules, often treating continued use as consent.

Medium cost

Broad license to user content

You are agreeing to give the company a broad license to reuse your content.

“By sending us feedback, you grant us a non-exclusive, perpetual, irrevocable, transferable license to use the feedback and ideas generated from the feedback without any restrictions, attribution, or compensation to you.”

What that means: The company can keep using your content even after you stop using the product.

You grant a broad license to content you post, beyond what running the service requires.

Medium cost

Children’s data

You are agreeing to terms that may still collect or retain data about children.

“Our services are not designed for nor directed towards users under the age of 13.”

What that means: A child’s account or device can still generate a data trail.

The document addresses children but may still collect or retain youth data.

Medium cost

Liability shifted onto the user

You are agreeing to limit the company’s liability and, in some cases, to indemnify it.

“Limitation of liability ](#15)[ 16.”

What that means: If the service harms you, the contract tries to leave you with little recourse.

Liability is shifted toward the user through waivers or indemnity.

If these terms already apply to you

Keep this list. Fineprint cannot undo or cancel something you already agreed to at the company.

We cannot see Agree on their site. With Premium, tap “I accepted these terms” if you already agreed to what Discord asks.
