Summary
By submitting content to Rumble under its agency options, you give Rumble the exclusive right to distribute, monetize, and exploit your content for at least 50 years—automatically renewing—while you lose the ability to use or distribute that content yourself anywhere in the world for the same period. Rumble can also choose to take a full copyright assignment from you at any time using this agreement as the legal transfer document. If anyone brings a legal claim related to your content, you are responsible for defending and covering the costs for Rumble and its people.
Analysis
Rumble's Terms of Service establish an agency relationship with content creators carrying an initial 50-year term that automatically renews for additional consecutive 50-year periods, during which Rumble holds the exclusive, worldwide, perpetual right to distribute, display, reproduce, license, rent, sell, monetize, and otherwise exploit submitted Content, while creators are prohibited from independently exploiting that Content in any medium or on any device globally for the same duration. Rumble additionally holds an option, exercisable at any time, to cause a full copyright assignment to itself, with the Agreement itself serving as the written instrument of that transfer in exchange for the Copyright Assignment Fee. Creators are required to grant Rumble and its sublicensees the right to use submitted Content for AI and machine learning model training, and neither creators nor third-party rightsholders they represent may enforce any rights in submitted Content without Rumble's express authorization. Creators must defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Rumble and its personnel against any claims arising from Content submissions, and all disputes are subject to exclusive jurisdiction in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice at Toronto, or in the U.S. Federal District Court at Rumble's sole discretion.
What this means for you
An individual user who submits content to Rumble under an agency option loses the personal right to distribute, display, reproduce, license, sell, or otherwise exploit that content in any medium or on any device, worldwide, for the full duration of the Agency Term—at minimum 50 years with automatic renewal. Rumble may prohibit, delete, move, or edit that content for any reason, at any time, without notice. Rumble may also use submitted content to train AI and machine learning models and may sublicense it to third parties for those purposes. The user cannot enforce any intellectual property rights in submitted content without Rumble's express authorization. Any legal claim must be brought in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice at Toronto unless Rumble selects the U.S. Federal District Court. Users should carefully review the specific agency option—Agency Option A or Agency Option B—presented to them before submitting any content, as both options carry these restrictions.

Previously, the terms only mentioned that Premium subscriptions may contain live read advertisements. The change creates a more detailed disclosure of what ad formats users may encounter even with a Premium subscription.
