High

You grant a permanent, irrevocable license over your content

The feedback section grants Discord "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." The main content license is worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable, and transferable.

High

Account can be terminated without cause or refund

Section 10: "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." One of the more aggressive termination clauses in major consumer ToS documents.

High

Binding arbitration waives your right to sue in court

Extensive mandatory arbitration section for US and Canadian users. Explicitly states: "ARBITRATION MEANS THAT YOU WAIVE YOUR RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL." Includes class action waiver and a one-year statute of limitations on claims.

Medium

Liability is broadly disclaimed

Full all-caps "AS IS" disclaimer: "WE ALSO DISCLAIM ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, QUIET ENJOYMENT, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT." Liability capped at the greater of amounts paid in three months or $100 USD.

Low

Disputes governed by a specific jurisdiction's laws

California law governs. Non-arbitrable disputes resolved exclusively in New Castle County, Delaware courts. EU consumers may submit to Amsterdam courts or their local domicile.

What Fine Print correctly did not flag

  • Unilateral changes: Discord says they may evolve services and add/remove features, but the language is not as aggressive as "we may change these terms at any time."
  • Data selling/tracking: Not present in the ToS itself. Data handling is covered in the separate Privacy Policy.
  • Auto-renewal/price changes: Paid services are governed by separate Paid Services Terms, not in the main ToS.
