Please read these terms of use (the Terms) and our Privacy Policy before using our Services (as defined below). When you use our Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms. You may not use our Services if you do not agree to all these Terms.

FOR U.S. AND CANADIAN USERS ONLY: these Terms contain a binding arbitration clause and class-action waiver at Paragraph 16 below. Please read it carefully.

About you

You may only agree to these Terms if you are an adult of full legal age of majority in the country or state in which you live (for example, 18 years of age in England). This applies to you even if the age rating for a Game or other content we make available indicates that it is suitable for children.

If you are not an adult and you want to use the Services, you must ask your parent or legal guardian to review these Terms and our Privacy Policy. You may only use the Services if your parent or guardian agrees to the Terms and permits you to use the Services under his or her supervision. Your parent or legal guardian must also read our Privacy Policy together with you and they must consent to our processing of your personal data on your behalf in accordance with the Privacy Policy.

In any event, you should only play a Game or access our other Services if you are at least as old as the relevant age rating in the country or state in which you live.

For parents and legal guardians

If you are a parent or legal guardian of a child who has asked you to agree to these Terms so that they may use the Services (your Child), then please read the following points carefully.

You should review these Terms and our Privacy Policy before accepting these Terms. In addition, please make sure that you and your Child (where your Child is old enough to consent to the processing of his or her personal data in the country in which you live) is familiar with our Privacy Policy, as by accepting these Terms you will be consenting to our processing of your Child’s personal data in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

We recommend that you familiarise yourself with any parental controls available on the devices and platforms on which your Child will want to access and use the Services. These controls may be used to limit the amount of time and money spent on games, and also to manage features such as in-game messaging with other players. You can find out more about parental controls online, in most cases on the website of the manufacturer of the relevant device or the provider of the relevant platform. In addition, you can find further information at the following URL: askaboutgames.com

You should ensure that your Child only plays Games or accesses our other Services if they are at least as old as the relevant age rating in the country or state in which you live.
