The policy reserves TikTok's right to update advertising rules at any time, treating continued use of the platform after an update as acceptance of the revised terms, and places responsibility on advertisers to monitor for policy changes.

This provision places the monitoring and compliance burden for policy changes on the advertiser, with acceptance of changed terms deemed to occur through continued use rather than through an affirmative acknowledgment process.
Interpretive note: The policy does not specify what notice mechanism, if any, TikTok uses to communicate policy updates to advertisers, creating ambiguity about whether the deemed-acceptance mechanism satisfies applicable P2B Regulation notice requirements in the EU.
Under these terms, advertisers are treated as having accepted any policy update simply by continuing to use TikTok Ads after the update takes effect, regardless of whether they reviewed the changes. The terms place the obligation to monitor for policy updates on the advertiser.
