California customers using Target's same-day delivery service will now pay a CA Shipt Shopper Benefit Fee in addition to standard delivery costs, according to the updated terms. The terms do not specify the fee amount, structure, or whether it applies to all same-day orders or only certain product categories. Consumers in California should review their receipt or account details to understand the exact fee amount and whether it was previously being charged but undisclosed, or if this represents a new charge.
View change record →Target removed specific language that explained how Target Circle Bonus rewards are earned, calculated, and reflected in customer accounts across different purchase methods (online, in-store, Same Day Delivery, Order Pickup, Drive Up). Previously, the terms clarified that online orders counted as one transaction unless they included Target Plus items or used Same Day Delivery, and specified timing for when bonuses would appear (24 hours for in-store, upon shipment/pickup/delivery for online). Without this clarity, customers must now rely on in-app displays or support channels to understand exactly how their purchases contribute to bonus eligibility, which may create confusion about reward calculation or disputes over earned benefits.
View change record →Target's updated Terms and Conditions now include explicit governance for its Target Circle loyalty program and Target Circle 360 membership. The updated terms establish that membership is voluntary and that by joining or continuing to use the program, members agree to Target Circle-specific terms and the Privacy Policy in effect at that time. The terms authorize Target to update the Target Circle Terms, the Target App, or the website at any time without advance notice, with continued program participation constituting acceptance of those updates. You can choose not to join Target Circle or can stop participating in the program to avoid binding yourself to these updated terms.

"By submitting content to Target, you grant Target a non-exclusive, royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, and fully sublicensable right to use, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, translate, create derivative works from, distribute, and display such content throughout the world in any media.— Excerpt from Target's Target Terms and Conditions
REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: This provision engages the FTC Act insofar as the breadth of the license grant must be adequately disclosed at the point of content submission to avoid deceptive practice claims. State consumer protection laws, particularly California's UCL and CLRA, may scrutinize whether the perpetual and irrevocable framing is clearly disclosed to consumers in a manner consistent with reasonable expectations. Copyright law underlies the mechanics of this license; the user retains ownership but grants an effectively unlimited license. GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Medium. Perpetual content licenses are common in consumer-facing platforms, but the irrevocable framing combined with sublicensability creates meaningful exposure if content is used in ways consumers did not anticipate, such as in advertising or third-party marketing materials. The FTC has addressed endorsement and testimonial disclosure requirements that could interact with how Target uses submitted reviews commercially. JURISDICTION FLAGS: California residents may have stronger arguments under state privacy and consumer protection law if the content license is used in a manner that implicates right of publicity or if the disclosure at the point of submission is inadequate. Illinois right of publicity statutes may apply if user photos are used in commercial contexts. CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: The sublicensability of this license means Target may pass rights to user content to third-party vendors, advertising partners, or service providers without additional user consent. Vendor agreements should confirm downstream content use is within the scope of the license and compliant with applicable endorsement and privacy regulations. COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Compliance teams should confirm that the content license grant is clearly disclosed at the point of submission (e.g., at the review or photo upload interface) and not only in the general terms. The FTC Endorsement Guides require that material connections be disclosed when testimonials or reviews are used commercially; if Target uses submitted reviews in advertising, additional disclosure obligations may apply.
