Refunds (if any) are handled under the applicable storefront or web checkout terms and applicable law; prorated refunds are not provided unless required by law or expressly stated at purchase.
We may change subscription offerings or benefits. See Section 15. We’ll provide notice and any required options (including the ability to cancel) as required by law and/or storefront rules.

By you. You may stop using the Services at any time. If you have an Account, you can request to close it as described in Section 4.5.
By Mattel. To the extent allowed by law, we may suspend, restrict, or terminate your access to some or all Services (including your Account) for the reasons described in Section 7, or if we discontinue a Service under Section 15.5.
Effect. If your access is terminated, your license to use the affected Services ends. You may lose access to progress, UGC, subscriptions, and Virtual Items, and we are not required to provide refunds except where required by law or expressly stated at purchase.
16. Disclaimers and limitation of liability
Summary: We provide the Services “as is” and limit our liability as set forth below and as allowed by law. Some jurisdictions don’t allow certain limits.
“Mattel Parties” means Mattel, its affiliates, licensors, service providers, and each of their officers, directors, employees, agents, and successors and assigns.
Nothing in this User Agreement excludes or limits any liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law. For example, some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraud or willful misconduct. See Exhibit B (Local Consumer Terms).
16.1 Disclaimers
Mattel services. To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Services are provided “AS IS”, “AS AVAILABLE”, and “WITH ALL FAULTS” without warranties of any kind (express, implied, or statutory), including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, non-misappropriation of intellectual property rights, title, quiet enjoyment, system integration, and accuracy.
We don’t guarantee the Services will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, or free of harmful components (such as viruses or other code that could damage your device or data).
We also don’t promise that any information, content, or results available through the Services are accurate, complete, reliable, helpful, or up to date, that defects will be corrected, or that your use of the Services will be lawful in every location. You are responsible for complying with any local laws that apply to you.
Third-party software and services. The Services may include or rely on third-party software, game engines, SDKs, APIs, open-source components, and other third-party services or integrations (collectively, “Third-Party Services”), so your use of the Services may be subject to third party terms. The Mattel Parties don’t control them and to the maximum extent permitted by law, the Mattel Parties make no warranties regarding Third-Party Services and are not responsible for them.
To the extent a warranty cannot be disclaimed as a matter of applicable law, the scope and duration of such warranty will be the minimum required under such law.
This Section 16.1 does not change any rights you may have for physical products you purchase directly from Mattel under the Mattel Terms of Sale.16.2 Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Mattel Parties will not be liable for lost profits or indirect, incidental, consequential, special, exemplary, or punitive damages, arising out of or related to the Services, your inability to use the Services, any action taken in connection with law enforcement authorities, copyright or other intellectual property owners, errors or omissions in the Service’s operation, or damage to any hardware or data. This limitation applies even if any of these events were foreseeable and even if a Mattel Party was advised or should have known of the possibility of such losses or damages. This applies regardless of the legal theory (contract, tort (including negligence), strict liability, statute, or otherwise).
This limitation also applies to claims arising from or relating to Third-Party Services. Mattel’s licensors and service providers are intended third-party beneficiaries of Sections 16.1 and 16.2 to the extent permitted by law.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Mattel Parties’ total liability for all damages, losses, causes of action, and claims in connection with your use or access of the Services will not exceed the greater of: (a) the amount you paid to Mattel for the Services in the 12 months before the event giving rise to the claim; or (b) $50, unless applicable law requires otherwise.16.3 Jurisdictional limitations
Some countries or regions don’t allow certain disclaimers or limits. In those cases, these terms apply only to the extent allowed by law. See Exhibit B (Local Consumer Terms) for country and region overrides that may apply to you.16.4 No injunctive or equitable relief
To the fullest extent permitted by law and except as described in Section 18 and Exhibit E (Dispute Resolution Terms), if you claim you were harmed in connection with the Services, you agree that any harm is not irreparable and that money damages (if any) would be an adequate remedy. Except where prohibited by law, you agree you will not seek (and you will not be entitled to) injunctive or other equitable relief that would interfere with or prevent the development, operation, or exploitation of the Services or Mattel’s products, services, or intellectual property.
This Section 16.4 does not limit any rights or remedies that cannot be waived under applicable law (including, where applicable, rights to seek injunctive relief). It also does not limit the ability to bring an Excluded Dispute in court and seek injunctive or other equitable relief in that context to the extent allowed by law, as described in Section 18.3 and Exhibit E.5.
17. Indemnity
Summary: You agree to cover certain claims and costs as set forth below (to the extent allowed by law).
“Mattel Parties” means Mattel, its affiliates, licensors, service providers, and each of their officers, directors, employees, agents, and successors and assigns.
To the extent allowed by law, you agree to defend, indemnify, and hold the Mattel Parties harmless from and against any and all third party claims, damages, losses, costs, investigations, liabilities, judgments, fines, penalties, settlements, interest, and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) arising directly or indirectly out of any claim, suit, action, demand, or proceeding made or brought against any Mattel Party by any person (including you), to the extent the claim arises out of or relates to:
- your use of the Services and your activities in connection with the Services (including conduct through your Account);
- your breach (or attempted breach) of this User Agreement or any additional terms that apply to a Service;
- your violation (or attempted violation) of any law, rule, regulation, code, statute, ordinance, or order, in connection with your use of the Services;
- your UGC, including any claim that the Mattel Parties’ use of your UGC, ideas, or feedback as permitted by this User Agreement infringes or violates a third party’s rights;
- any information or material that is submitted, posted, transmitted, or otherwise made available through your Account or device (even if not submitted by you) that infringes, violates, or misappropriates any copyright, trademark, trade secret, patent, publicity, privacy, or other right of any person or entity;
- any misrepresentation made by you;
- fraud, cheating, chargeback abuse, or other misuse of the Services;
- any claim by you (or on your behalf) that you “own” Virtual Items (Section 9), or that they have real-world monetary value; or
- any claim by you (or on your behalf) arising from the expiration, rotation, modification, suspension, deletion, termination, loss, or alleged change in “value” of Virtual Items or subscriptions.
You also agree to cooperate as reasonably required in the defense of any such matter. The Mattel Parties retain the right to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter subject to indemnification by you. The Mattel Parties retain the exclusive right to settle, compromise, and pay all matters.
If you are under the age of majority where you live, your parent or legal guardian is responsible for the obligations in this Section 17 to the extent permitted by law.
18. Disputes, arbitration, class action waiver, governing law
Summary: Except where prohibited by applicable law, and subject to your right to opt-out as described in Section 18.5, you and Mattel agree that any dispute, controversy, allegation, or claim that arises out of or relates to this User Agreement or your use of or relationship with the Services (collectively, “Dispute”) will be resolved exclusively by final and binding individual arbitration (not class actions or class arbitrations), rather than in court, except that either party may bring an individual claim in small claims court if it qualifies. Local consumer dispute rules may apply. See Exhibit B (Local Consumer Terms).
18.1 Informal resolution first
Before filing a claim, please contact Support at mgs-support@mattel.com or https://mattel.helpshift.com and give us a chance to resolve the issue.
If you want to start arbitration, you must send a written Notice of Dispute as described in Exhibit E.2. A support request (including email or in-app support) does not replace a Notice of Dispute.18.2 Binding arbitration; class action waiver
Except where prohibited by law, you and Mattel agree to resolve disputes by binding arbitration on an individual basis on the terms set forth in Exhibit E (Dispute Resolution Terms). Class actions, class arbitrations, and representative actions are not allowed.
Special terms for minors. If you are under the age of majority in your jurisdiction, you may use the Services only with the involvement and consent of a parent or legal guardian. By allowing a minor to use the Services, the parent or legal guardian represents and warrants that they have reviewed and agree to this User Agreement on behalf of both themselves and the minor.
The parent or legal guardian agrees to be responsible for the minor’s use of the Services, including all financial charges, compliance with this User Agreement, and any Disputes arising from such use.
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the parent or legal guardian agrees that the agreement to arbitrate, including the class action waiver, applies to any Disputes relating to the minor’s use of the Services.18.3 Exceptions
- Qualifying claims in small claims court (if eligible) may be brought by you or Mattel in small claims court.
- Excluded Disputes are defined in Exhibit E.5. Excluded Disputes are not subject to the arbitration requirement and may be brought in court to the extent allowed by law.
18.4 Governing law; venue
This User Agreement is governed by the laws of New York, excluding conflict of laws rules, except where your local consumer law requires otherwise. Except as required by Exhibit B (Local Consumer Terms), venue for matters not subject to arbitration is described in Exhibit E.7.18.5 Opt-out (optional)
You have the right to opt out of this arbitration agreement. To do so, you must provide notice within thirty (30) days of first accepting this User Agreement by sending an email to arbitration-opt-out@mattel.com.
Your notice must include the user’s name (and the parent or legal guardian’s name if the user is a minor), the email address or account identifier associated with your account, and a clear statement that you wish to opt out of arbitration.
If you opt out, disputes will be resolved in court instead of arbitration. The class action waiver, (in Section 18.2 above) will still apply to the maximum extent permitted by law. Opting out will not affect your ability to use the Services.
If a minor uses the Services, a parent or legal guardian must submit any opt-out request on the minor’s behalf.18.6 Local consumer dispute rules
Some countries or regions limit or prohibit mandatory arbitration and/or class action waivers for consumers. If you live in a country or region listed in Exhibit B (Local Consumer Terms), the dispute terms in Exhibit B (Local Consumer Terms) apply and may replace or limit this Section 18 and Exhibit E (Dispute Resolution Terms).
19. Notices, DMCA, and other IP complaints

If you download from Apple:- This User Agreement is between you and Mattel, not Apple.
- Apple has no obligation to provide support or maintenance.
- Apple is not responsible for product claims (including IP infringement, consumer protection, or regulatory claims) to the extent permitted by law.

Nothing in this User Agreement limits mandatory statutory consumer rights. Disclaimers and liability limits apply only to the extent permitted by local law. Section 17 (Indemnity) applies only to the extent permitted by applicable consumer law.B.1.2 Disputes, arbitration, governing law, and courts
The arbitration and class action waiver provisions in Section 18 and Exhibit E (Dispute Resolution Terms) apply only to the extent permitted by applicable law. For example, in some countries, consumers generally can’t be required to arbitrate disputes before the dispute arises, so the arbitration requirement may not apply to you.

We may make changes to the Services for valid reasons (for example, to maintain or improve security, prevent fraud, comply with law, fix bugs, or improve performance). Where required by local law, changes will be made without additional cost to you and we will inform you in a clear and understandable way.
If a change materially and negatively affects your access to or use of the Services (more than a minor impact) and local law gives you rights (for example, to terminate a subscription/contract or receive a proportionate refund for paid portions), those rights apply.
EEA: If a Service is supplied or made accessible over a period of time, and a change negatively impacts your access to or use of that Service more than a minor impact, you may have the right to terminate free of charge within the time required by law (often 30 days) unless we enable you to keep access to the Service without the change at no additional cost and the Service remains in conformity.B.1.5 Cancellation and withdrawal (where required)
You may have additional cancellation/withdrawal rights for digital services where required. If local law requires specific disclosures or consent (for example, to start supplying digital content immediately and acknowledge loss of a withdrawal right), we will present those at purchase.B.1.6 Online safety and transparency (EU DSA – where applicable)

B.2.1 Québec
- French language. If you are in Québec, we will provide you with a French version of this User Agreement (including the standard terms) before asking whether you want to proceed in another language, and you may choose a non-French version only after you have had the opportunity to review the French version and you expressly choose the other language. If there is a discrepancy between the French version and another language version you were provided or consulted, you may rely on any version to the extent permitted by Québec law. For Québec consumers, the “Language” clause in Section 20 applies only to the extent permitted by Québec law.
- Arbitration/class actions. To the extent required by Québec consumer law, the mandatory arbitration and class action waiver provisions in Section 18 and Exhibit E (Dispute Resolution Terms) do not apply to Québec consumers.

Summary: South Korea has detailed consumer protections for electronic commerce and distance contracting, especially for direct purchases.
Direct purchases from Mattel. If you purchase goods or services directly from Mattel in South Korea (for example, via a Mattel web store), Korean law may give you cancellation/withdrawal rights for certain distance contracts (often within 7 days from when you receive the required contract information or when supply begins, whichever is later), subject to exceptions where permitted by law (for example, where content has been used or cannot be returned).
If what you receive is different from what was advertised or agreed, you may have additional cancellation rights within the timeframes provided by Korean law.

Exhibit E (Dispute Resolution Terms)
Summary: Unless prohibited by law, disputes must be resolved by individual arbitration (not class actions or class arbitrations). This Exhibit provides the detailed arbitration procedures referenced in Section 18.
This Exhibit E (Dispute Resolution Terms) applies only to the extent Section 18 applies to you. If your local law or Exhibit B (Local Consumer Terms) says arbitration/class waiver terms do not apply or are limited where you live, then those local laws or Exhibit B (Local Consumer Terms) terms control and this Exhibit E (Dispute Resolution Terms) may not apply to you.
E.1. Agreement to arbitrate; FAA; key definitions
This User Agreement (including this Exhibit) is governed by and will be interpreted and enforced in accordance with the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16) (“FAA”), notwithstanding any other provision in this User Agreement. We agree that this Agreement and Exhibit are deemed to be a “written agreement to arbitrate” under the FAA.
If any dispute, controversy, allegation, or claim arises out of or relates to this User Agreement or your (or, if applicable, your minor child’s) use of, or relationship with the Services (collectively, “Dispute”), you and Mattel agree to resolve such Disputes as set forth below, except for “Excluded Disputes” which are defined in Section E.5.
This includes, without limitation, any claims based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory, and any disputes relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of this User Agreement.E.2. First — Try to resolve disputes informally (Notice of Dispute)
Before starting arbitration, the party raising a Dispute must send a written notice to the other party describing the Dispute and proposing a resolution (a “Notice of Dispute”).
Our notice to you will be sent based on the most recent contact information you provided for your Account (typically email). If we do not have current contact information for you, we have no obligation under this Section E.2.
Your Notice of Dispute to us must be sent to: Mattel, Inc., 333 Continental Boulevard, El Segundo, California, 90245, U.S.A., Attention: General Counsel. You may also email a copy of your Notice of Dispute to: InfringementNotice@Mattel.com. Sending an email copy does not replace the requirement to send the Notice to the mailing address above unless we confirm otherwise in writing.
For a period of 60 days from the date of receipt of notice from the other party, Mattel and you will attempt to resolve the Dispute or Excluded Dispute if possible. Neither party is required to resolve the matter.
If we cannot resolve a Dispute within 60 days of receipt of the Notice of Dispute, then either you or we may submit the Dispute to arbitration as set forth in this Exhibit.
A support request under Section 18.1 does not replace a Notice of Dispute under this Exhibit.E.3. Arbitration procedures (individual only)
Administrator and rules. The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules and, if applicable, its Supplementary Rules for Mass Arbitration Filings, as modified by this Exhibit.
Administrator fallback. If AAA is unwilling or unable to administer the arbitration within a reasonable period of time, then the arbitration will be administered by JAMS under its applicable consumer rules (or, if neither is available, by another provider the parties agree on).
Arbitrator qualifications. Any arbitrator must be a retired judge or an attorney with at least fifteen (15) years of experience in the substantive area of the Dispute.
Three arbitrators for high-value disputes. If the claimed value of the Dispute exceeds $250,000, or such other number as we may both agree, the arbitration will be heard by a panel of three arbitrators (one selected by each party, and the chair selected by the parties’ selected arbitrators or the administrator).
No judge or jury. With arbitration: (A) there is no judge or jury; (B) arbitration proceedings and outcomes may be subject to confidentiality rules; and (C) judicial review of the arbitration outcome is limited.
Location and format. If an in-person hearing is required, it will take place in Los Angeles, California or a location that is reasonably convenient for you (for example, the county or region where you reside), unless applicable rules require or we agree otherwise. The arbitrator may also allow hearings by video or phone where permitted by the rules.
Fees and costs. You and Mattel will jointly pay administrative and arbitrator fees and other costs in accordance with the applicable arbitration rules, except where those rules or laws require Mattel to pay a greater portion or all fees and costs in order for this arbitration agreement to be enforceable. If the arbitrator determines that a claim is frivolous or brought in bad faith, the arbitrator may award fees as permitted by law.
Discovery and award. Discovery will be permitted as permitted by the applicable arbitration rules and as determined by the arbitrator to be appropriate and proportional to the Dispute. The arbitrator’s decision must be in writing and include the disposition of each claim and the essential findings and conclusions supporting the decision and any award. Judgment on the award may be entered by any court with jurisdiction.E.4. Time limit to bring Disputes
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, if you or Mattel want to assert a Dispute (but not an Excluded Dispute), then you or we must commence it (by delivering the Notice of Dispute under Section E.2 above) within 1 year after the Dispute arises — or it will be forever barred.E.5. Excluded Disputes; injunctive relief; small claims
“Excluded Disputes” means:- qualifying claims in small claims court (if eligible), and
- claims for injunctive or other equitable relief to the extent allowed by law, including claims relating to: (i) Mattel’s or its licensors’ intellectual property rights; (ii) cheating, fraud, account compromise, or security issues; and/or (iii) actual or threatened harm to the integrity of the Services or Mattel’s operations, products, or services, or to persons or property.
Excluded Disputes may be submitted to arbitration only if you and Mattel consent in a writing signed by you and Mattel, Inc.’s General Counsel.E.6. No class actions; no consolidation
Disputes will be arbitrated only on an individual basis and not on a class, collective, consolidated, or representative basis, including in any coordinated or mass arbitration proceeding, unless we both agree otherwise.
If a court or arbitrator holds that this “no class and no consolidation” restriction is unconscionable or unenforceable for any reason, then the agreement to arbitrate in this Exhibit will not apply, and the Dispute must be brought in court pursuant to Section E.7 below.E.7. Court venue for matters not subject to arbitration
Except to the extent arbitration is required above (and except for enforcing an arbitration award), any action or proceeding relating to a Dispute or Excluded Dispute may only be instituted in state or federal court in Los Angeles County, California, unless your local consumer law requires otherwise. Except as required by Exhibit B (Local Consumer Terms), you and Mattel consent to the exclusive personal jurisdiction and venue of such courts for such matters.E.8. Mass arbitration (Batching)
If 25 or more Disputes that arise out of the same or substantially similar facts, transactions, or legal issues are filed against Mattel by the same or coordinated counsel (a “Mass Arbitration”), or such other number as the parties agree or the administrator determines is appropriate, the parties agree to use a batching process designed to promote efficient resolution.
Administrator mass rules. If the arbitration administrator has mass arbitration or batch filing rules, those rules apply unless they conflict with this Exhibit (in which case this Exhibit controls to the extent permitted by law). To the extent permitted by applicable law, these batching procedures will supplement any arbitration provider rules.
Batching (if administrator has no mass rules). The administrator will group demands into batches of up to 25. The first batch will proceed first. After the first batch is resolved (by decision or settlement), the parties will meet and confer in good faith about how the remaining batches should proceed (including continued batching, bellwether selection, and/or mediation).
Tolling. Any applicable time limits are tolled (i.e. paused) for Disputes that are part of a Mass Arbitration while batching is underway.
