Roblox Terms of Use
Welcome to Roblox! You have entered what we like to call the Imagination Platform (“Platform”), the ultimate virtual universe where imagination rules. The Platform is part of a service offered by Roblox, that allows users to develop games, connect with other users to play games and use content created by other users (the “Service”).

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, a user, and Roblox Corporation (“we,” “our,” or “us”) must follow, and are a legally binding agreement between you and us.

In particular, we want to point out that by accepting these Terms, you and we are agreeing to arbitrate any dispute between us, 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 and for purposes of facilitating the Service, you are agreeing to grant us a non-exclusive license to use, online and offline, whatever you create or in the past have created while using the Service. This is covered in the User Generated Creations (“UGC”) section below. We hope you have fun!

If the individual using the Service or accepting these Terms is doing so on behalf of a company or other entity (for example, his/her employer), then the individual must sign up for a business account and represents and warrants that he/she is authorized to bind the entity to these Terms. These Terms apply to the entity and all of its users.

Acceptance of Terms
Legal Agreement. By using or visiting any of our websites, any of our products, software, applications, content, test environments, data feeds, forums, the Platform and the Service, our RDC (Roblox Developer Conference) event or any other event that we hold and you attend, you signify your agreement to these Terms and the following, all of which are incorporated by reference and shall be included within the definition of Terms: (a) the Privacy Policy, (b) the Developer Exchange (“DevEx”) Policy, (c) the Roblox Community Rules, (e) Roblox Name And Logo - Community Usage Guidelines. If you do not agree to all these policies, rules and the Terms, you may not use the Service. In order to agree to these Terms, you need to (1) be 18 or older, or have your parent or guardian’s consent to agree to the Terms, and (2) have the power to enter a binding contract with us and not be barred from doing so under any applicable laws.
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 the Service following any such change constitutes your agreement to be bound by the modified Terms. 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. “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. We encourage you to review these Terms frequently to stay informed of the latest modifications.
Additional Policies. Your use of the Service is subject to all additional terms, policies, rules, or guidelines applicable to the Service or certain features of the Service that we may post on or link to the Service, and all such additional documents are incorporated by this reference into, and made a part of, these Terms.
The Service.
Use. Some of the things you can do through the Service are listed directly below. (What you can actually do in the list below will depend on your age, the type of account you sign up to, whether you create UGC and the use by others of that UGC, and other factors.) These Terms apply to all users of the Service no matter what you do. “UGC” means the following that you control, have the ability to license, have ownership of, will Provide (as defined below) or have Provided: (a) Content Services (as defined below) and (b) any modifications, changes or derivative works by you or that you otherwise own or control of any of those types of data or works that are on, in, or used with the Service. “Provide” or “Publish” means create, modify or generate through the Service, or upload, post, publish or otherwise provide to, for or through us, someone or something on behalf of us, or the Service. “Content Services” means all types of content, including games (and all characters, assets, names and other items in the games), avatars and other characters, digital clothing and other digital assets for avatars and other characters, models (2D, 3D or otherwise), artwork, reviews, text, software, scripts, graphics, photos, images, sounds, music, videos, audiovisual combinations, interactive features, names, usernames, logos, Dev Services (as defined below), and other materials, works, items or content (standalone or in combination).
Create/Develop/Modify/Contribute. Create, develop, modify and contribute Content Services, which may be available to some or all of the users of the Service. You may have heard people describe Roblox as the place where “games and experiences are created by the players for the players.” We are known for that because the Service is a social platform, which hosts games and other content created by users to be played and used by other users. The Service includes tools and interfaces that users can use to create, play, interact and socialize. Users who create Dev Services (as defined below) and Publish the Dev Services, we call “Devs” Other users on the Service can interact, use and in some cases acquire the Dev Services. “Dev Services” mean the following Content Services created by Devs: (a) games/experiences (“Dev Game Services”), (b) anything that is made available (through the Service) for consideration to other users in and for Dev Game Services, such as game passes or digital content, items or abilities for use in or for Dev Game Services (“Dev Game Item Services”), and (b) digital items for avatars (“Dev Avatar Item Services”). Keep in mind that Devs are users like you. So, we welcome you to become a Dev. Also keep in mind that whether you are a Dev or other type of user, you are governed by these Terms. Also, we reserve the right, but shall have no obligation, to pre-screen, refuse to accept, post, display or transmit your Content Services through the Service in whole or in part at any time for any reason or no reason, with or without notice and with no liability.
Play/Interact. Play, interact, see, view and use (and in certain cases, manipulate and change) certain portions of the UGC on the Platform.
Imagine/Socialize. Imagine, socialize, chat, play, create, interact and relate with others in many ways.
Participate in the Developer Exchange. We, in our sole discretion, may allow eligible users of the Service to participate in the Developer Exchange (“DevEx”) (which we explain below).
Changes or Discontinuance of the Service. We reserve the right to modify or discontinue the Service at any time (including by limiting or discontinuing certain features of the Service) without notice to you. We will have no liability whatsoever on account of any change to the Service.
Third-Party Services. We may provide tools through the Service that enable you to export information to third-party services, including through features that allow you to link your account with an account on a third-party service, such as Twitter or Facebook, or through our implementation of third-party buttons (such as “like” or “share” buttons). By using one of these tools, you agree that we may transfer that information to the applicable third-party service. Third-party services are not under our control, and we are not responsible for any third-party service’s use of your exported information. The Service may also contain links to third-party websites. Linked websites are not under our control, and we are not responsible for their content. If you click on a linked website, we are not responsible for such website’s use of your data. You agree that your use of the Service may incur third-party fees, such as fees charged by your carrier for data usage, and may be subject to third-party terms, such as your carrier’s terms of service, and you agree to pay all such fees and abide by all such terms. By using the Service, you expressly relieve us from any and all liability arising from your use of any third-party website or third-party services.
Accounts
Your Account. To access some of the Service features on the Platform, you will need to create an account (“Account”). When you register for an Account or update the information, you agree to provide us an accurate age and information that you will keep up-to-date at all times (providing inaccurate information is a violation of these Terms). You may never allow anyone else to use your Account (except your parents or legal guardian). If you have reason to believe that your Account is no longer secure, then you must immediately notify us at info@roblox.com. If anyone asks for your password or personal information (such as your name, address or phone number), please use the Report Abuse feature to immediately report the user and situation. You agree that we may take steps to verify the accuracy of information you provide, including contact information for a parent or guardian.
Suspension/Termination. If you violate any provision of these Terms, your permission to use the Service will terminate automatically. In addition, we may, in our sole discretion, (a) suspend or terminate your Account and/or your access to the Service, or (b) remove any of your Content Services, at any time, without notice for any reason. We will have no liability whatsoever as a result of any suspension or termination of your access to or use of the Service.

You may not transfer, assign, sell, gift, exchange, trade, convert, lease, sublicense, rent, or distribute Robux except through the Service and as expressly permitted by us. Any disposition or attempted disposition of Robux in violation of these Terms will be void and will result in immediate termination of your Account and your license to use Robux.

Making Payments, Receiving Payments, Billing and Dispute Resolution
Making Payments through the Service
Overview. Through the Service, you will be able to make payments for (as the “Payor”) two types of Content Services: Dev Services or “Roblox Services,” which is anything you can make payments for that is not a Dev Service. When you make payments for Dev Services, payment will be collected through the Service on behalf of the Dev, you will be acquiring the Dev Services from the Dev, and the terms of such transaction shall be between you and the Dev. When you make payments for Roblox Services, you will be making payments for those items directly to us. Unless otherwise expressly stated in these Terms or unless otherwise agreed to, all payments are final and non-refundable, except as required by applicable law. You represent and warrant that you have the authority and right to use the payment method selected by you and that such payment method has sufficient credit or funds available to complete your payment. If you believe someone has gained unauthorized access to your Account or used your Account without your permission, you must notify us within 45 days of the charge date by emailing us at info@roblox.com. We reserve the right to close any account with unauthorized charges.
Memberships. By purchasing a membership that renews, you acknowledge and agree that your membership will automatically renew and, unless you cancel your membership you hereby authorize us to charge the payment method associated with your Account for your membership renewal. We will notify you by email prior to each renewal of your membership that has a duration of 6 months or more. (We may also notify you prior to each renewal of your membership that has a shorter duration.) The period of the membership renewal and the cost of the membership renewal will be the same as your current membership period unless otherwise disclosed to you when you sign up for the membership. You can cancel your membership at any time by going to the billing tab of the account settings page on our website and clicking cancel membership. If you cancel your membership, you receive the remainder of your period of membership that you’ve already paid for. We hope you enjoy your membership.
Receiving Payements through the Service
Overview. Devs can receive payments for Dev Game Item Services and Dev Avatar Item Services through the Service. You acknowledge that we will, solely, on your behalf and not on our own behalf, display and host Dev Game Services, Dev Game Item Services and Avatar Item Services to be played and experienced by users through the Service. Anything that a Dev receives payments for through the Service is a transaction between the Dev and the Payor, with us acting solely as a facilitator by providing the Dev and Payor with the Service. We take a commission on those payments for providing the Service, certain parts of customer service, moderation, the convenience for users to be able to prepay for Robux and use those Robux on your payments, and other services. The commission may be changed by us at any time for any reason. For a consistent user experience and as a convenience to all, we process all payments through the Service.
Dev Game Services and Dev Game Item Services. Devs are responsible for all issues relating to their Dev Services and Dev Game Item Services, including dealing with all complaints and issues from Payors in a timely and professional manner.
Return of Robux to a Payor. If we need to return Robux to a Payor for items for which you received a payment, we reserve the right to reduce accordingly any future payment to you.
Disputes Between Devs and Payors
Disputes Regarding Dev Game Services and Dev Game Item Services. If you have any problems or concerns with Dev Game Services or Dev Game Item Services, you should contact the Dev of the Dev Game Services or Dev Game Item Services to resolve the issue. Although we are not responsible for any such issues, we have an interest in making sure that we keep the Service a good experience for all involved. As such, we reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to intervene in and assist in attempting to resolve issues between Devs and Payors. To escalate any such problem to us, please first make a good faith attempt to work out a solution with the Dev. After such a good faith attempt, you may escalate to our Customer Service department by sending an email to info@roblox.com. If we choose to take action, Devs and Payors agree that our decision (which may include deducting Robux from the Dev and crediting of Robux to the Payor) is final and Devs and Payors shall abide by that decision. You agree to work with us in a timely manner to resolve all such issues, and failure to do so is considered a violation of these Terms.
Dev Avatar Item Services. If you have any problems or concerns with Dev Avatar Item Services, you should contact us. Although the Dev Avatar Item Services are not actually our services, all Avatar-related services are distributed to the Payor through the catalog provided by the Service. Both Devs and Payors agree to follow our determination with respect to any problems or ussues regarding Dev Avatar Item Services.
Roblox Services. Disputes regarding Roblox Services are handled according to Section 11.
Intellectual Property
Our Intellectual Property
Ownership of our Intellectual Property. The visual interfaces, graphics, design, compilation, information, data, computer code (including source code or object code), products, software, services, and all other elements of the Service (“Intellectual Property” or “IP”) are protected by law. All IP contained in the Service is our property or our users’ or third-party licensors’ property. Except as expressly authorized by us, you may not make use of our IP. We reserve all rights to the IP not granted expressly in these Terms.
License. Subject to your ongoing compliance with these Terms, we grant you a non-exclusive, personal, limited, revocable, non-transferable license to use the Service on compatible devices that you own or control for your personal, entertainment use. This includes the right to download and use software that we make available for download as part of the Service, in object code form only. This software is licensed, not sold, to you for use only pursuant to the Terms and only in connection with your use of the Service. You may not rent, lease, lend, sell, redistribute or sublicense any portion of the Service, including software. You may not copy, distribute, publicly perform, publicly display, decompile, reverse engineer, disassemble, attempt to derive the source code, modify, or create derivative works of the Service or any downloaded or underlying software or technology (except as and only to the extent any foregoing restriction is prohibited by applicable law), nor attempt to disable or circumvent any security or other technological measure designed to protect the Service. If you breach these license restrictions, or otherwise exceed the scope of the licenses granted herein, you may be subject to prosecution and damages, as well as liability for infringement of intellectual property rights. These Terms will govern any updates provided to you by us that replace and/or supplement any part of the Service, unless such upgrade is accompanied by a separate license in which case the terms of that license will govern.
User Generated Creations - Users, Devs and Groups
Generally. We will provide an opportunity for you to Provide UGC through the Service.
Groups. Through the Service, you may have the opportunity to join a Group (as defined below). The individual or entity controlling or owning the email address is the owner of the Group (the “Owner”). The Owner may choose (in that person’s sole discretion) to make a different person the new Owner (in such case the new owner shall be considered the Owner). If the Owner’s account is terminated pursuant to these Terms, Roblox will in its sole business judgment determine who is the rightful person to be made the new Owner of the Group (and that user shall be considered the Owner). As between Roblox and you, the owner of the Group will be deemed to have all rights (including copyrights and rights to Robux spent on the Group’s Dev Game Item Services or the Group’s Dev Avatar Item Services) and responsibility for any UGC Provided by the Group through the Services (including the responsibility of getting appropriate rights from other Group members). As such any reference to “you” in this Section 6 shall, in the case of a Group, only mean the Owner. If the Group members want to have a separate agreement regarding rights to UGC created by individual members or to Robux earned by the Group or any other matter, we shall have not be part of that separate agreement. A “Group” exists where users or Devs have joined together to register as a group, via a single email address, on the Service in order to release a game or content via the Service. For corporate Accounts, the company (or other legal entity) named on the Account is considered to be a Group.
Ownership of UGC and License Grant to Roblox. For any UGC that you have ever Provided or that you will Provide (whether created solely by you or together with others) (a) between you and us or you and users, you retain all copyrights that you may hold in the UGC, and (b) in consideration of using the Service and the potential to earn Robux as discussed in the Robux section, you grant us a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free right and license (with the right to sublicense to any person or entity, whether a user of the Service or not) to host, store, transfer, publicly display, publicly perform (including by means of digital audio transmissions and on a through-to-the-audience basis), reproduce (including in timed synchronization to visual images), modify, create derivative works of, distribute and to use in any way the UGC that you Provide, in whole or in part, including modifications and derivative works, in any media or formats (tangible or intangible) and through any media, items or channels (online, offline, or others, now known or hereafter developed), including for publicity and marketing purposes (except that you are not granting us any license to make new or derivative video games using your UGC).
For the avoidance of doubt, the rights granted in this Section 6(B)(III) include, but are not limited to, the right to reproduce sound recordings (and make mechanical reproductions of the musical works embodied in such sound recordings) and publicly perform and communicate to the public sound recordings (and the musical works embodied therein), all on a royalty-free basis. This means that you are granting Roblox rights to use your UGC as contemplated by this Section 6(B)(III) without the obligation to pay royalties to any third party, including, without limitation, a sound recording copyright owner (e.g., a record label), a musical work copyright owner (e.g., a music publisher), a performing rights organization (e.g., ASCAP, BMI, SESAC, etc.) (a “PRO”), a sound recording PRO (e.g., SoundExchange), any unions or guilds, and engineers, producers or other royalty participants involved in the creation of UGC.
Regarding the publicity and marketing rights, this allows us to provide a license to a TV show, movie, book, annual, encyclopedia or anthology,  website, social media, online or print magazine or newspaper, or other commercial, non-commercial or educational purpose to use your UGC and associated username in ways that we think will help publicize or market the Services, any part of the Services, any UGC on the Services and tangible items off the Services. Other than the potential to earn Robux, we shall not be obligated to provide to you any compensation, attribution, or other payments for any reasons, including for exploitation of the license discussed immediately above, whether in relation to the Service or otherwise, nor are we obligated to exploit this license. BY ACCEPTING THESE TERMS AND CONTINUING TO USE THE SERVICE, YOU AGREE THAT THIS LICENSE APPLIES TO ANY UGC YOU PROVIDED TO US AT ANY TIME (FROM YOUR FIRST USE OF THE SERVICE, WHICH MAY PREDATE YOUR ACCEPTANCE OF THIS VERSION OF THE TERMS).
Templates. Templates may be made available to you (in our software tool ‘Studio’ or otherwise) as a starting point for creating your UGC, however your use of a template does not give you any copyrights or other ownership rights in such template.
UGC Representations and Warranties; Rights in UGC.
You are solely responsible for your UGC and you represent, and warrant that:
You are the creator and owner of, or have the necessary licenses, rights, consents, and permissions, to use and to authorize us to exploit the license that you grant to us hereunder; and
Your UGC, and the use of your UGC as contemplated by these Terms, does not and will not: (i) infringe, violate, or misappropriate any third-party right, including any copyright, trademark, patent, trade secret, moral right, privacy right, right of publicity, or any other intellectual property or proprietary right; (ii) slander, defame, libel, or invade the right of privacy, publicity or other property rights of any other person; (iii) require Roblox to obtain any further licenses from or pay royalties or compensation or other amounts or provide any attribution to any third parties; (iv) result in a breach of contract between you and a third party; or (v) cause us to violate any law or regulation.
You must not Provide any UGC if you are not the owner of or are not fully authorized to grant rights in all of the elements of the UGC you intend to Provide. In addition, if you only own the rights in and to a sound recording, but not to the underlying musical works embodied in such sound recordings, then you must not Provide such sound recordings unless you have all necessary rights, authorizations and permissions with respect to such embedded musical works that grant you sufficient rights to grant the licenses to Roblox under these Terms. You agree to pay all monies owing to any person as a result of Providing your UGC.
Specific Rules for Musical Works and for Recording Artists. If you are a composer or author of a musical work and are affiliated with a PRO, then you must notify your PRO of the royalty-free license you grant through these Terms to Roblox. You are solely responsible for ensuring your compliance with the relevant PRO’s reporting obligations. If you have assigned your rights to a music publisher, then you must obtain the consent of such music publisher to grant the royalty-free license(s) set forth in these Terms or have such music publisher enter into these Terms with Roblox. Just because you authored a musical work (e.g., wrote a song) does not mean you have the right to grant Roblox the licenses in these Terms. If you are a recording artist under contract with a record label, then you are solely responsible for ensuring that your use of the Service is in compliance with any contractual obligations you may have to your record label, including if you create any new recordings through the Service that may be claimed by your label.
Through-To-The-Audience Rights. All of the rights you grant in these Terms are provided on a through-to-the-audience basis, meaning the owners or operators of third party services will not have any separate liability to you or any other third party for UGC Provided or used on such third party services via the Service.
UGC Disclaimer. We are under no obligation to edit or control UGC that you or others Provide, and will not be in any way responsible or liable for UGC. We may, however, at any time and without prior notice, screen, remove, edit, or block any UGC that in our sole judgment violates these Terms or is otherwise objectionable. You understand that when using the Service, you will be exposed to UGC from a variety of sources and acknowledge that UGC may be inaccurate, offensive, indecent, or objectionable. You agree to waive, and do waive, any legal or equitable right or remedy you have or may have against us with respect to UGC. If notified by a user or content owner that UGC allegedly does not conform to these Terms, we may investigate the allegation and determine in our sole discretion whether to remove the UGC, which we reserve the right to do at any time and without notice. For clarity, we do not permit copyright-infringing activities on the Service. Please alert us of any inappropriate UGC or other materials you find on the Service.
Digital Millennium Copyright Act
Notice. We respect the intellectual property rights of others and we ask you to do the same. If you are a copyright owner or an agent of a copyright owner and believe that any content on the Service infringes upon your copyrights, you may submit a notification pursuant to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”) by contacting our Copyright Agent at copyright_agent@roblox.com or Legal, P.O. Box 1265, San Mateo, CA 94401. You acknowledge that if you fail to comply with all of the requirements of this Section 6(C), your DMCA notice may not be valid.

A description of the material that you claim is infringing and where it is located;

A statement by you that the above information in your notice is accurate and that, under penalty of perjury, you are the copyright or intellectual property owner or authorized to act on the copyright or intellectual property owner’s behalf.
Counter-Notice. Regarding any content that was removed or disabled, if you believe that your content is not infringing or that you have the authorization from the copyright owner, the copyright owner’s agent, or pursuant to the law, to post and use the material in your content, you may send a counter-notice to our Copyright Agent. When our Copyright Agent receives a counter-notice, we may send a copy of the counter-notice to the original complaining party informing that party that we may, in 10 business days, replace the removed content or stop disabling it. Unless the copyright owner files an action seeking a court order against the provider of the content, the removed content may be replaced or access to it restored, in 10 to 14 business days or more after receipt of the counter-notice, in our sole discretion.
Repeat Infringer Policy. Roblox’s intellectual property policy is to: (i) remove or disable access to material that Roblox believes in good faith, upon notice from an intellectual property rights owner or his or her agent, is infringing the intellectual property rights of a third party by being made available through the Service; and (ii) terminate the Accounts of and suspend access to the Service by “repeat infringers.” Roblox considers a “repeat infringer” to be any user that has three times Provided UGC that Roblox has removed or disabled access to (each, a “strike”). However, Roblox has the discretion to terminate the Account of or suspend access to the Service by any user even after Roblox has assessed a single strike. Roblox will assess a strike on a particular user’s Account any time Roblox takes the action in (i) above. Roblox may also assess a strike on a particular user’s Account if Roblox believes upon its own determination that UGC Provided by such user is infringing, and Roblox may remove or disable access to such UGC in its sole discretion.
Trademark Infringement
Our policies prohibit you from Providing UGC that infringes trademarks. If you Provide UGC that infringes trademarks, your UGC can be blocked or removed.
If you are a trademark owner that believes your trademark is being infringed, please note that we are not in a position to mediate disputes between users and the holders of trademark rights. That being said, we take your rights seriously. So, we will look into and try to resolve any allegations of trademark infringement. Therefore, if you feel that your trademark rights are being infringed, contact our Trademark Agent at copyright_agent@roblox.com or Legal, P.O. Box 1265, San Mateo, CA 94401. When you contact us, please provide the following information in writing:
An electronic or physical signature of the person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the trademark;
A description of the trademark right that you claim has been infringed;
A description of the material that you claim is infringing and where it is located;
Your address, telephone number, and email address;
A statement by you that you have a good faith belief that the use of those materials is not authorized by the trademark owner, its agent, or the law; and
A statement by you that the above information in your notice is accurate and that, under penalty of perjury, you are the trademark owner or authorized to act on the copyright or intellectual property owner’s behalf.

Dispute Resolution, Arbitration and No Class Actions
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; (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.
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 the Northern District of California for the purpose of litigating any Dispute.
Arbitration of Disputes
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. You and we empower the arbitrator with the exclusive authority to resolve any Dispute, including without limitation any part of these Terms are void or voidable.
Disputes Excluded from Arbitration. You and we agree that nothing in these Terms will be deemed to waive, preclude, or otherwise limit your or our right 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) 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.
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 any billing address that you provided to us. You will send your notice to Roblox Corporation, Legal Department, One Franklin Parkway, Bldg 910, San Mateo, CA 94403. 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.
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 Consumer Arbitration Rules (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.
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 us 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.
During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by you or us may not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator makes a final decision and award (if any). If you win in the arbitration, and are awarded an amount that exceeds the last written settlement amount offered by us, we will pay you the highest of the following: (i) the amount awarded by the arbitrator or (ii) $10,000.
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 the Northern District of California, United States of America and you consent and submit to the personal jurisdiction of such courts for the purposes of litigating such action.
