This is BeReal's rulebook for using their app — it covers what you can and can't do on the platform, what rights they have over your photos, and how disputes would be handled. By using BeReal, you grant them a license to use your content, and you agree to their rules about appropriate posts. There are important differences in rights depending on whether you live in the EU or elsewhere.
Technical Summary
BeReal's Terms of Service governs the use of the BeReal social media platform, which enables users to share dual-camera photos in real time. The document establishes user obligations regarding content posting, account eligibility (minimum age requirements), and acceptable use of the platform. BeReal asserts a broad content license over user-generated content, limits its liability through warranty disclaimers and liability caps, and reserves the right to modify or terminate services and accounts. The document also addresses dispute resolution and applicable governing law, with differentiated provisions for EU/EEA users versus those in other jurisdictions.

Regulatory exposure, material risk, and due diligence action items.
BeReal requires users to meet a minimum age threshold to use the platform — typically 13 in the US and 13-16 depending on jurisdiction in the EU — and prohibits younger children from creating accounts.
When you post photos or videos on BeReal, you give BeReal a broad, royalty-free license to use, reproduce, modify, and distribute that content across their services.
BeReal reserves the right to suspend or permanently delete your account and content at any time if they believe you have violated their Terms, sometimes without prior notice.
BeReal disclaims most warranties about the reliability or quality of its service and caps the amount of money you can recover from them in a legal dispute, often to the amount you paid (which for a free app is zero).
BeReal specifies which country's laws govern disputes and how disagreements between you and BeReal will be resolved — with different rules for EU users versus users in other countries.
BeReal can update these Terms at any time and will notify you of changes — but continued use of the app after changes are posted means you accept the new terms.
