Change Summary
Whatnot updated its Influencer Engagement Agreement (versions 5.2 to 6.0 for standard terms, 2.2 to 3.0 for Australian terms) effective June 23, 2026. The revised terms remove venue-specific dispute resolution and instead require all disputes to be resolved through arbitration under Whatnot's main Terms of Service, including mandatory arbitration and class action waiver provisions. Previously, influencers could pursue claims in California or Australian courts; under the updated language, disputes must proceed exclusively through arbitration except where the main Terms of Service expressly permit otherwise.
