ROBLOX Terms of Use

Welcome to ROBLOX! You have entered what we like to call the Imagination Platform, the ultimate virtual universe where imagination rules.

Together with you and the rest of our community, we want to create the future of entertainment. To accomplish this, we set out below the terms and conditions (“Terms”) that you and we must follow, and are a legally binding agreement between you and Roblox Corporation (“ROBLOX”, “we” or “us”).

In particular, we want to point out that by accepting these terms, you and Roblox are agreeing to arbitrate any dispute and you are giving up your right to go to court either individually (except for matters that may be taken to small claims court) or as part of a class action. See the Dispute Resolution and Arbitration section below for details.

We also want to make sure that you know that by accepting these terms, you’re agreeing to grant us a license to use, online and offline, whatever you create or in the past have created on our service (such as making and selling content or items). This is covered in the User Generated Content section below. We hope you have fun!

  1. Acceptance of Terms
    1. Legal Agreement. By using or visiting any of the ROBLOX websites or any of ROBLOX products, software, applications, content, data feeds, and services (“Service”), you signify your agreement to these terms and conditions (“Terms”) and the following, all of which are incorporated by reference (a) the Privacy Policy found at https://www.roblox.com/Info/Privacy.aspx, (b) the Rules of Conduct found at https://en.help.roblox.com/hc/en-us/articles/203313410-ROBLOX-Rules-of-Conduct, and (c) the Developer Exchange (DevEx) Policy found at https://en.help.roblox.com/hc/en-us/articles/203314100-Developer-Exchange-DevEx-. If you do not agree to the all these policies, rules and the Terms, you may not use the Service.
    2. Changes to Terms. We reserve the right to update or modify the Terms at any time without prior notice, and such changes will be effective immediately upon being posted through the Service; however, material changes to these Terms will be effective upon the earlier of (i) your first use of the Service with actual notice of such change, or (ii) 30 days from posting of such change. Your use of any Service following any such change constitutes your agreement to be bound by the modified Terms of Use. These Terms will identify the date of last update. Disputes arising under these Terms will be resolved in accordance with the version of the Terms in place at the time the dispute arose. We encourage you to review these Terms frequently to stay informed of the latest modifications.

  9. Disclaimers; No Warranties.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE ROBLOX ENTITIES DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, RELATING TO THE SERVICE AND ALL MATERIALS AND CONTENT AVAILABLE THROUGH THE SERVICE, INCLUDING: (A) ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, QUIET ENJOYMENT, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT; AND (B) ANY WARRANTY ARISING OUT OF COURSE OF DEALING, USAGE, OR TRADE.

    2. No Responsibility. NO ADVICE OR INFORMATION, WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN, OBTAINED BY YOU FROM THE SERVICE OR ANY MATERIALS OR CONTENT AVAILABLE THROUGH THE SERVICE WILL CREATE ANY WARRANTY REGARDING ANY OF THE ROBLOX ENTITIES OR THE SERVICE THAT IS NOT EXPRESSLY STATED IN THESE TERMS.

  11. Dispute Resolution, Arbitration and No Class Actions
    1. No Class Actions and Severability. YOU AND WE AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR OUR INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. You and we agree as follows: (a) neither you nor we will seek to have a dispute heard as a class action, private attorney general action, or in any other proceeding in which either party acts or proposes to act in a representative capacity; and (b) no arbitration or proceeding can be combined with another without the prior written consent of all parties to the arbitration or proceeding, and (c) if the class action waiver or any part of this Section 11 is found to be illegal or unenforceable as to all or some parts of a dispute, those parts will be severed and proceed in a court of law, with the remaining parts proceeding in arbitration.
    2. Governing Law. These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California without regard to conflict of law principles. If a lawsuit or court proceeding is permitted under these Terms, you and we agree to submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of the state courts and federal courts located within San Mateo County, California for the purpose of litigating any dispute.
    3. Arbitration of Disputes
      1. Agreement to Arbitrate. You and we agree to arbitrate all disputes (except those exceptions specifically set out in the next subsection) between you and us or our affiliates, except disputes related to our intellectual property rights. “Disputes” means any dispute, action, controversy or claim arising out of or relating to any aspect of these Terms, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal or equitable basis, and regardless of whether a claim arises during or after the termination of these Terms. You and we empower the arbitrator with the exclusive authority to resolve any dispute, including without limitation any part of these terms is void or voidable.
      2. Disputes Excluded from Arbitration. We both agree that nothing in these Terms will be deemed to waive, preclude, or otherwise limit the right of either of us to: (a) bring an individual action in small claims court; (b) pursue an enforcement action through the applicable federal, state, or local agency if that action is available; (c) seek injunctive relief in a court of law; or (d) to file suit in a court of law to address an intellectual property infringement claim or to compel or uphold any arbitration decision hereunder. In such cases, neither you nor we shall need to follow the informal negotiations procedure and timeline set out in the next subsection.
      3. Informal Negotiations. To help get you and us to a resolution and to control costs for you and us regarding any dispute, you and we agree to first attempt to informally discuss and try to negotiate a resolution to any Dispute (except the Disputes specifically set out below) for at least 60 days from when notice of the dispute is sent. Those informal negotiations will commence upon written notice from you to us or us to you. We will send our notice to your registered email address and and any billing address that you provided to us. You will send your notice to Roblox Corporation, Legal Department, 60 E 3rd Ave #115, San Mateo, CA 94401. After 60 days, you or we may commence arbitration. If the dispute cannot be resolved within that time period, and if either you or we desire to continue the dispute, the party desiring to continue the dispute shall commence arbitration.
      4. Commencing Arbitration. If you and we do not resolve a dispute by informal negotiation, the dispute shall be settled by binding arbitration before a neutral arbitrator whose decision will be final except for a limited right of appeal under the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act. YOU AGREE THAT YOU ARE GIVING UP THE RIGHT TO LITIGATE A DISPUTE IN COURT BEFORE A JUDGE OR JURY AND GIVING UP YOUR RIGHT TO A CLASS ACTION. Arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”) under its Commercial Arbitration Rules and its Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (the “AAA Rules”). You can find more information at www.adr.org or by calling 800-778-7879. Arbitration may be conducted in person, through the submission of documents, by phone or online. The arbitrator may award damages to you individually as a court could, including declaratory or injunctive relief, but only to the extent required to satisfy your individual claim.
      5. Fees and Location. If you commence arbitration in accordance with these Terms, we will reimburse you for your payment of the filing fee, unless your claim is for more than $10,000, in which case the payment of any fees will be decided by the AAA Rules. Any arbitration hearing will take place at a location to be agreed upon in San Mateo County, California, but if the claim is for $10,000 or less, you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted: (a) solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator; (b) through a non-appearance based telephone hearing; or (c) by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules in the county (or parish) of your billing address. If the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your claim or the relief sought in the Demand is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)), then the payment of all fees will be governed by the AAA Rules. In that case, you agree to reimburse us for all monies previously disbursed by it that are otherwise your obligation to pay under the AAA Rules. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator must issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the decision and award, if any, are based. The arbitrator may make rulings and resolve disputes as to the payment and reimbursement of fees or expenses at any time during the proceeding and upon request from either party made within 14 days of the arbitrator’s ruling on the merits.
    4. Choice of Forum for Disputes That Are Not Subject to Arbitration. You and we agree that any action at law or in equity arising out of or relating to these Terms that is not subject to arbitration shall be filed, and that venue properly lies, only in the state or federal courts located in San Mateo, California, United States of America and you consent and submit to the personal jurisdiction of such courts for the purposes of litigating such action.
