The updated terms establish Walmart's explicit right to use any content you submit (reviews, photos, ideas) for AI training and machine learning development, with a non-exclusive, worldwide, transferable license. Simultaneously, the terms prohibit you or third parties from scraping Walmart.com data or using its materials to develop or train AI models. For Rewards Program users, the timing of Rewards debit now extends to 5 business days after fulfillment or shipment, and if insufficient Rewards are available at fulfillment time, your payment card will be charged the full order amount.
