These Terms of Service form a contract between you and TikTok, governing your use of its apps, websites, and related services. Key aspects include user responsibility for content, TikTok's broad license to use user content (even after deletion in some cases), and the company's right to suspend or terminate accounts for breaches. Users can terminate their accounts at any time, but certain content and data may persist due to legal obligations or reuse by other users. TikTok may unilaterally change terms with notice, and continued use implies acceptance.
Users retain ownership, but grant TikTok a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, transferable, sub-licensable license to use content for platform operation, development, and provision. This license can survive user content deletion if other users have reused it or for legal obligations.
TikTok can suspend or terminate accounts for breaches, legal requirements, or technical issues. While normally providing notice, immediate action without prior notice is possible in 'special circumstances'.
TikTok can make changes to terms and the platform. Significant changes will have reasonable advance notice, but time-sensitive changes (security, safety, legal) may not. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance.
