TikTok's Terms grant the company a permanent, irrevocable, royalty-free worldwide license to use all content you post — including videos, messages, and AI interaction inputs — to train machine learning models, meaning your creative work could fuel TikTok's AI systems indefinitely even after you stop using the platform. The mandatory arbitration clause and class action waiver mean you cannot join other users in a lawsuit against TikTok, significantly limiting your legal recourse if your rights are violated. You can opt out of mandatory arbitration by sending written notice to TikTok USDS Joint Venture LLC within 30 days of first agreeing to these Terms.
