Minimum age and guardian responsibility
Users must be at least 13 and meet their country’s minimum age. A person below the age of majority needs a guardian’s agreement. Guardians permitting use and the child are bound by the terms and responsible for account activity and purchases. Discord may use third parties to check age.
