You form a contract with us when you accept these Terms or when you otherwise use or access the Platform.
Mandatory arbitration strips users of the right to sue TikTok in court or join with other affected users in a class action, significantly limiting legal recourse — particularly for low-value individual claims where arbitration costs may be prohibitive.
TikTok's Terms grant the platform a permanent, irrevocable, royalty-free license to use all content you post — including videos, messages, and AI prompts — to train machine learning models and develop new technologies, meaning you cannot revoke this right even if you delete your account or content. Users are also bound by a mandatory arbitration clause with a class action waiver, which means you cannot sue TikTok as part of a group if you believe your rights have been violated. You can delete your account and content via the in-app settings, but note that content already incorporated into other users' posts will remain publicly accessible.
