This page describes what the document states, permits, or reserves. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Regulatory applicability may vary by jurisdiction. Methodology
Target's Terms and Conditions govern use of target.com, the Target mobile app, and associated digital services including ordering, registries, and loyalty programs. The agreement grants Target a perpetual, royalty-free, irrevocable license to use any content users submit, including reviews, photos, and other contributions, across any medium and for any purpose. The terms also require users to resolve disputes with Target individually through binding arbitration, waiving the right to participate in class action lawsuits.
This document constitutes Target's Terms and Conditions governing use of its website, mobile applications, and related digital services, asserting a binding contractual relationship upon continued use of those platforms. The terms authorize Target to collect user-submitted content and grant Target a broad, royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable license to use, reproduce, modify, publish, and distribute such content in any medium; the agreement also asserts the right to terminate or restrict access at Target's discretion without notice. The document includes a mandatory arbitration clause with a class action waiver requiring individual dispute resolution, a limitation of liability capping Target's exposure to the greater of amounts paid by the user or one hundred dollars, and a disclaimer of warranties asserting services are provided 'as is'; the agreement also asserts broad intellectual property ownership over site content and reserves the right to modify terms unilaterally with continued use constituting acceptance. The terms engage the Federal Trade Commission Act, the California Consumer Privacy Act, and the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act; California residents and EU users may have distinct rights under applicable law that the agreement does not fully enumerate. Material compliance considerations include the enforceability of the class action waiver under state consumer protection statutes, the scope of the content license relative to user-generated content norms, and COPPA-related restrictions given the platform's broad consumer reach.
The agreement establishes that any content submitted by users, including reviews, photos, and comments, becomes subject to a perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free license granted to Target for use in any medium worldwide. Under these terms, disputes with Target must proceed through individual binding arbitration rather than court litigation, and users waive the right to bring or participate in class action claims. You can opt out of the arbitration clause by following the opt-out procedure specified in the terms, typically within a defined window after account creation or acceptance of updated terms.
