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 →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.
View change record →The updated terms require all disputes arising from the Strategic Seller Agreement or a seller's relationship with Whatnot to be resolved through arbitration as defined in the main Terms of Service, rather than through litigation in California courts. Previously, sellers could bring claims in federal or state courts located in Los Angeles; under the revised language, this option is eliminated except where the Terms of Service arbitration section expressly permits court proceedings. The change applies to the relationship between individual sellers and Whatnot, affecting how contract disputes, payment disagreements, or other claims are processed and adjudicated.
