This page describes what the document states, permits, or reserves. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Regulatory applicability may vary by jurisdiction. Methodology
BeReal's Terms of Service govern how you can use the platform and what BeReal can do with the content you post. When you share content publicly, you give BeReal a free, worldwide licence to use, adapt, and distribute it through third parties, with no payment to you beyond your continued access to the app. If you violate the rules, BeReal can suspend your account for 30 days for a first or second offence, or permanently for a third — or immediately for the most serious violations — and any legal dispute must be taken to a court in Paris, France.
BeReal's Terms of Service establish the conditions under which users may access and use its Services, including a minimum age requirement of 13, a broad worldwide royalty-free sublicensable content licence covering all globally shared content with access to the platform designated as the sole form of compensation, and user responsibility for the legality and propriety of all shared content. BeReal reserves the right to suspend accounts temporarily or permanently based on a three-strike graduated enforcement structure for Unauthorised Content, with immediate permanent suspension for the most severe violations such as child sexual abuse material, and may act on a determination or reason to believe rather than a confirmed violation. Liability for BeReal and its associated entities is limited to the maximum extent permitted by the user's local law, and all disputes are subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Paris, France, under French law. Users must agree to the collection, use, storage, processing, sharing, and cross-border transfer of their information to countries where BeReal operates and to third-party partners who help provide its services.
Users must be at least 13 years old to use BeReal's Services. Any content shared globally on BeReal is subject to a royalty-free, sublicensable worldwide licence, and BeReal treats access to the platform as full compensation for that use. Users bear personal responsibility for ensuring everything they post complies with applicable laws and the agreement. Enforcement ranges from a 30-day suspension for a first or second Unauthorised Content violation to an immediate permanent ban for the most severe content, with BeReal able to act on suspicion rather than a confirmed violation. All disputes must be brought in the courts of Paris, France, under French law, which means users outside France must litigate in a foreign jurisdiction. BeReal collects and transfers user information across countries and to third-party partners; users who wish to understand the scope of that data sharing should review BeReal's privacy policy for any available preference or opt-out options.
