"Advertisers represent and warrant that they own or have obtained all necessary rights, licenses, consents, and permissions to use all content, trademarks, music, images, and third-party materials included in their ads, and that their ads do not infringe any third-party intellectual property rights.— Excerpt from Snapchat Ads's Snapchat Advertising Policies
1. REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: This provision interacts with US copyright law, the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, Lanham Act trademark protections, and equivalent intellectual property laws in all jurisdictions where ads are served. It is standard contractual language in advertising platform terms. 2. GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Low to Medium. This provision is standard across advertising platforms and consistent with industry practice. The primary risk arises from creative agencies or in-house teams using unlicensed stock content, music, or third-party marks without proper clearance. 3. JURISDICTION FLAGS: Music licensing requirements vary by territory; rights cleared for one country may not cover other markets. Advertisers running global campaigns with music or licensed imagery should confirm territorial scope of all rights clearances. 4. CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Creative agencies should maintain documentation of all rights clearances for content used in Snapchat campaigns, including scope, territory, and duration. Indemnification provisions in agency-advertiser agreements should address liability allocation for IP claims arising from ad content. 5. COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Compliance teams should ensure that pre-production IP clearance workflows cover territorial scope for all markets where Snapchat campaigns will run, and that rights documentation is retained for the duration of campaign activity plus applicable statute of limitations periods.
