The agreement reserves Pinterest's right to suspend or terminate accounts for broadly defined reasons including risk assessment and undefined 'other' grounds, with notice provided only where possible; this may affect users who rely on the platform for business or commercial activity.
Interpretive note: The breadth of the 'other reason' termination ground and the qualified notice obligation may face scrutiny under EU DSA requirements for EEA users; application varies by jurisdiction.
The agreement states that content users post on Pinterest may be used by Pinterest for advertising, marketing, and distribution through partner platforms under a broad royalty-free license that persists after account deletion for content already saved or shared by others.

You can opt out of the arbitration clause by sending a written notice to Pinterest within 30 days of first accepting or re-accepting the terms, as specified in the dispute resolution section.
