A parent or guardian accepting for a minor is bound for themself and the minor and answerable for use and purchases
Young players who are not adults are told to ask a parent or guardian to read the Terms with them. A parent or guardian who accepts the Terms on behalf of a minor in their care for the minor’s Epic Games Account agrees on their own behalf and on the minor’s behalf, and agrees to be responsible for all use of the Licensed Products by themself or the minor. They are also responsible for purchases or other transactions made from the account, including those made by the minor, to the extent permitted by law. For minors, “you” refers collectively to the parent or guardian and the minor. “Adult” means having reached the legal age of majority where you live (18 in most U.S. states, but it may vary under local law).

Epic may suspend or terminate your account for Fraud or Cheats without prior notice; merely having Cheats can suffice
If Epic finds evidence that you engaged in Fraud or Cheats, it may take action against you or your Epic Games Account, including suspending or terminating it, without prior notice. It is not a defense that you had not yet used the devices or tools, or only used or intended to use them on someone else’s product. Merely having Cheats present on the device you use to access Licensed Products may result in suspension or termination. You may appeal an action Epic takes (the Terms point to Section 8.b, “Consequences,” which includes how to submit an appeal). The dispute-resolution section separately says Epic may suspend or terminate an account for detected Fraud or Cheats in its sole discretion without following the dispute resolution process, while you can use that process to seek a reversal.

Violations can lead to a warning, ban, suspension or permanent termination, and you may not evade a permanent ban
When Epic becomes aware of a violation of the Ecosystem Rules or the law, it determines appropriate action against you or your Epic Games Accounts, looking at severity, whether you are a repeat offender and other relevant factors. Actions can be temporary or permanent, and Epic says it will inform you of the duration and type of consequence. Consequences can include a warning (for less severe offenses), a temporary or permanent ban on certain Epic features, products or services, a suspension of your account (which may last a year or longer), or permanent termination of the Terms as to you (for repeat or serious offenses), after which you cannot use Licensed Products in any Epic Games Account or on any device. If Epic has permanently banned you, you may not try to evade the ban by creating a new Epic Games Account.

Epic may terminate the Terms without any violation if a product ends, the law requires it, or it restructures
Epic may also need to terminate the Terms even if you have not violated them if: it stops operations of a Licensed Product (for example because it is no longer financially viable or continued operations are impractical for technical, operational or business reasons); it stops operating a Licensed Product on a specific platform; it is required by law or a binding order from a governmental authority; a Licensed Product relies on a third-party provider or platform that ceases to support it; or Epic undergoes a merger, acquisition or restructuring that affects a Licensed Product. In these instances, whenever commercially feasible, Epic will give thirty (30) days’ advance notice by posting a notice on its websites related to the Licensed Product(s), and says it will not have any future obligations or liabilities to you.
