If you have a dispute with Target, you must resolve it through private arbitration rather than a public court trial. This applies to nearly all disputes arising from your use of Target's website, app, or services.
Arbitration is a private process that often favors businesses over consumers and limits your ability to appeal decisions. You lose your right to a jury trial and to have your case heard publicly.
Mandatory pre-dispute arbitration clauses in consumer contracts are subject to FTC scrutiny under Section 5 of the FTC Act and ongoing regulatory review. Compliance teams should assess consistency with applicable state consumer protection statutes, particularly California's consumer arbitration rules under CCP 1281 et seq.

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.
