What it is

Target can update or change these Terms at any time. Continued use of their website after changes are posted means you agree to the new Terms, even if you didn't notice them.

Why it matters

You could unknowingly agree to less favorable terms simply by continuing to shop on Target's website after an update, without being directly notified of the changes.

Institutional analysis (Compliance & legal intelligence)

Unilateral modification clauses with constructive notice via website posting raise enforceability questions under the doctrine of unconscionability and have been subject to judicial scrutiny where modifications materially alter consumer rights, particularly arbitration obligations. This requires monitoring from a contract law compliance perspective.

Consumer impact

Target's Terms & Conditions limit how consumers can legally challenge the company, requiring binding arbitration and waiving class action rights for most disputes. Users also grant Target a broad, royalty-free license to any content they submit, including reviews and photos. You can review California-specific privacy rights and opt-out options by visiting Target's Privacy Policy page at https://www.target.com/c/target-privacy-policy/-/N-4sr7l.
