The updated Influencer Engagement Agreement now requires all disputes between influencers and Whatnot to be resolved through binding arbitration under the Terms of Service Section 21, rather than through California state or federal courts. This replaces the previous language permitting influencers to pursue legal claims in Los Angeles courts and waives jury trial rights. The agreement also removes language that explicitly limited dispute resolution to claims arising solely from the Influencer Agreement, extending arbitration to disputes relating to Whatnot Platform use and the influencer-platform relationship.
View change record →The new Australian Creator Program Terms establish binding legal requirements for creators submitting video content and promotional codes. Creators grant Whatnot a non-exclusive, worldwide, irrevocable license to use submitted videos across platforms (organic and paid social media, television, in-app, websites, and more) for one year from submission. The terms require creators to comply with Australian Consumer Law, AANA ethical standards, and AiMCO guidelines, with explicit disclosure requirements when promoting Whatnot or affiliated products. Rewards for approved Shopping Hauls submissions are issued within 30 business days of receiving both ad codes and raw video. You can review the specific disclosure and content standards on the Program Page before submitting content.
View change record →Under the updated agreement, Australian sellers can no longer resolve disputes through court proceedings in Los Angeles. Instead, all disputes related to the Whatnot platform or the seller relationship must be resolved through mandatory individual arbitration under Whatnot's main Terms of Service. The updated terms eliminate the jury trial waiver provision and replace court access with binding arbitration, with limited exceptions only as expressly permitted in the main Terms of Service.
