The updated terms establish a lower age threshold for audio services (13+) but require parental consent and active supervision for users under 18. All other services remain restricted to users 18 and older. The company expanded its license to use and process submitted content for service provision and maintenance.

Use restrictions were clarified to prohibit developing competitive AI models, selling or sublicensing the Services, and removing AI-generated content markings, with limited exceptions expressly approved in writing.
