I would like to know how I interpret a specific part of the Terms of Use. Please use this hyperlink or read up on the paragraph in question via the image below.
Please take in mind that Roblox’s definition of “third-party services” is clearly defined. The same is true for “third parties”, which is a separate definition. Before replying, consider the former. As I’d like an answer based purely on what’s written in the Terms of Use.
Definitions:
Third-Party Services:"Any content, tools, or other materials created and owned by people or companies other than Roblox that is included as part of, or made available on, the Services. Roblox neither controls nor takes responsibility for any Third-Party Services."
Given the Terms of Use are carefully written by Roblox. Using “third-party services” instead of “third parties” feels like a deliberate inclusion for developers to buy, sell, trade or give away Robux.
My only takeaway from that point is that you can’t use a third-party service such as Paypal to facilitate the transfer of funds when buying, selling, trading or giving away Robux. Theoretically, this means you can still do the former by giving cash in hand or via a middleman.
this is a repost, the previous topic was not put in the right category
" Using third-party services to buy, sell, trade or give away Robux. This does not apply to Roblox gift cards. " end quote.
Since third-party services do not refer to people buying, selling, trading or giving away Robux rather services like Paypal or others. I could just sell Robux and receive hand-in-cash from the person receiving the Robux. I wouldn’t have used a third-party service.
I’m pretty sure third-party transactions are not against TOS. Where it does become rule-breaking is when you purchase/sell to a fraudulent vendor/customer (i.e. vendor with dirty Robux) or in a fraudulent manner.
I found this on r/ROBLOXBans earlier this year, but I didn’t save the post. As far as I remember, the post owner mentioned that yes, they were banned because of Robux.
They really be banned because of Robux? That’s not what I want you to focus on. What should be noted is that Roblox explicitly states that selling Robux is prohibited.
Roblox explicitly states that using third-party services to buy, sell, trade or give away Robux. is prohibited. Thus, if you do not use third-party services to facilitate the former, I would say the Terms of Use does allow it in some capacity.
Through my understanding of the Terms of Use, giving someone cash-in-hand in return for Robux is allowed. Because you wouldn’t have used a third-party service to facilitate it.
It is stated in the tos that the sale of Robux is prohibited.
Even if we discuss this for a long time, we might not come to a conclusion if you already have your own answer in mind. So, feel free to try it out. If you don’t get banned, I’ll be glad for you.
