You must be at least 13 years old to use Snapchat, and some features require you to be 18 or older; Snap will terminate accounts of users found to be under the minimum age.
This analysis describes what Snapchat's agreement states, permits, or reserves. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Regulatory applicability and practical outcomes may vary by jurisdiction, enforcement context, and individual circumstances. Read our methodology
Snapchat is widely used by teenagers, and the terms establish minimum protections for minors, though enforcement depends largely on users self-reporting their age.
By using Snapchat, you grant Snap a broad license to use your content and agree to binding arbitration, waiving your right to sue in court or join class action lawsuits if you are a US user. Snap can terminate your account or modify the service at any time, potentially without notice, which means you could lose access to your content and connections. You can opt out of the arbitration clause by sending written notice to Snap within 30 days of first agreeing to the terms.
