What it is

All text, images, audio, video, documents, and other content submitted to or generated by Snap AI Features are treated as user-submitted content and are subject to the same broad content license granted to Snap, including the worldwide royalty-free sublicensable license described in the Rights You Grant Us section. Outputs are provided without warranties and may be inaccurate, offensive, or similar to outputs generated for other users.

ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

This provision extends the full content license framework, including the royalty-free sublicensable license for operating and developing Services, to all AI Feature Inputs and Outputs. The agreement also prohibits users from using Outputs to train, develop, or fine-tune external AI models or services, and from misrepresenting Outputs as human-generated.

Medium Aug 7, 2026

The updated terms state that Snapchat may now require age verification before you use the Services, expanding on prior language that only referenced minimum age requirements. The terms also revise content moderation procedures, stating that Snap's decision to restrict, suspend, or terminate accounts is made in its sole discretion, though expanded appeal and complaint procedures are now described in more detail through the Snapchat Moderation, Enforcement, and Appeals Explainer and Support Site. The terms also add references to jurisdiction-specific online platform safety laws and direct users to the Transparency Hub for information on how Snap complies with those laws where applicable. You can review appeal options and compliance procedures through the resources linked in the Terms, and you may be able to challenge account restrictions if you believe they violate applicable law in your jurisdiction.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

Under this clause, any content submitted to or generated through Snap AI Features, including My AI, is subject to the same content license granted to Snap for all user-submitted content, and the agreement states that Outputs are provided as-is without warranties, meaning users bear the risk of reliance on inaccurate or misleading AI-generated content.
