Summary

This is Rumble's Terms and Conditions of Use and Agency Agreement, governing all access to and use of the Rumble platform including video uploading, viewing, live streaming, and content monetization. The most operationally significant provision grants Rumble a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free license to use, reproduce, modify, distribute, and sublicense any content uploaded to the platform, and separately appoints Rumble as the uploader's non-exclusive agent to license that content to third parties including television and digital distribution partners. Users who submit to mandatory arbitration waive their right to bring or participate in class action lawsuits against Rumble, with disputes resolved through individual binding arbitration under AAA rules.

Technical / Legal Breakdown

This document governs use of the Rumble platform, including the website, apps, and associated services, and establishes the legal basis for the relationship between Rumble and its users through an agency agreement framework under which uploading creators appoint Rumble as their non-exclusive agent for content licensing and distribution. The agreement states that by uploading content, users grant Rumble a broad, worldwide, royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, sublicensable, and transferable license to use, reproduce, distribute, prepare derivative works of, display, and perform that content across all media and formats; the terms also require users to submit to mandatory individual arbitration for dispute resolution and waive the right to participate in class action proceedings. The content license terms are notably broad in scope, including the right to create derivative works and sublicense without additional compensation to the uploader beyond the revenue share structure separately established; the agency relationship authorizes Rumble to license user content to third parties on the uploader's behalf, which may create legal complexity around copyright ownership and creator control depending on jurisdiction and the specific licensing arrangement. The document engages COPPA by prohibiting use by persons under 13 and disclaiming responsibility for age verification beyond account-level attestation; the mandatory arbitration and class action waiver provisions interact with FTC consumer protection frameworks and applicable state consumer protection laws, with enforceability of arbitration clauses potentially varying by jurisdiction and user category.
