What it is

Target can change these Terms & Conditions at any time, and your continued use of the site means you accept the new terms β€” even if you were not directly notified of the changes.

Why it matters

You could unknowingly agree to less favorable terms simply by continuing to shop on Target's website or app.

Institutional analysis (Compliance & legal intelligence)

Unilateral modification clauses are subject to enforceability scrutiny in several states; regulators and courts increasingly require meaningful notice and affirmative acceptance for material changes, particularly those affecting arbitration rights.

Consumer impact

Target's terms require consumers to resolve disputes through binding arbitration rather than in court, and waive the right to participate in class action lawsuits β€” limiting your ability to seek group remedies. Target also claims a broad, royalty-free license to use any content you submit to the site, including reviews and photos. California residents and other state residents may have additional privacy rights under applicable state law that the terms acknowledge.

Applicable agencies

  • FTC
    Unilateral modification of consumer contract terms without adequate notice may constitute an unfair or deceptive practice under Section 5 of the FTC Act.
