Discord

U.S. and Canadian users must resolve disputes through individual arbitration rather than suing in court, and cannot join a class action, which makes it much harder and more expensive to pursue claims, especially small-dollar ones, unless you opt out within 30 days.

IF YOU’RE A U.S. RESIDENT, EXCEPT AS PROVIDED HEREIN, UNLESS DISCORD AGREES OTHERWISE IN A SEPARATE WRITING, YOU AND DISCORD AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN OUR INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING

Even if Discord's negligence or a service failure causes you real harm, the most you can typically recover is $100 or three months of payments, whichever is greater—far below what many losses (like lost server communities or data) might actually be worth.

DISCORD LIMITS OUR LIABILITY TO YOU TO THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNTS YOU HAVE PAID US IN THE THREE MONTHS BEFORE YOU FIRST ASSERT A CLAIM OR (B) $100 USD (OR THE EQUIVALENT IN YOUR LOCAL CURRENCY).

Anything you post—messages, images, videos—can be used, reproduced, distributed, and turned into derivative works by Discord under a broad, sublicensable, transferable license, well beyond what's strictly needed to just display your messages to friends.

you grant us a license to use, reproduce, distribute, create derivative works of, display, and perform your content...This license is worldwide, non-exclusive...royalty-free...sublicensable, and transferable.

Discord can suspend or delete your account for essentially any reason, with no firm commitment to warn you first — you could lose access to years of conversations, communities, and purchases with no advance warning.

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

If Discord changes or removes features, or the service goes down and you lose access to your content, they explicitly say they aren't responsible, leaving you with no recourse for lost data or disrupted communities.

your content may not be retrievable due to such outages or changes. We are not liable for any such outages or service changes.

You agree to cover Discord's legal costs and damages arising from your use of the service, your content, or your violations of the terms — a one-sided obligation that doesn't run the other way.

You will indemnify and hold Discord and its officers, directors, employees and agents harmless from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, and costs (including reasonable legal and accounting fees) related to (a) your access to or use of our services or third-party services, (b) your content, (c) your violation of these terms, or (d) your negligence or willful misconduct.

Any suggestions or feedback you send Discord can be used forever, without paying you or crediting you, and without restriction.

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.

Discord can change these terms at any time; if you keep using the service after the changes take effect, you're automatically considered to have agreed, even if you never explicitly approved them.

If you continue to use our services after the changes have taken effect, it means that you agree to the changes. If you don’t agree, you must stop using our services.
