Last updated: July 2020
1. Your Relationship With Us
Welcome to TikTok.
TikTok is a leading platform for creating and sharing short-form videos (the “Platform”). You are reading the
terms of service (the “Terms”), which govern the relationship and serve as an agreement between you and us
and set forth the terms and conditions by which you may access and use the Platform and our related websites
(such as tiktok.com), services, applications, products and other content which are stated to be offered subject to
these Terms (collectively, the “Services”). 
The Services are provided by the company that offers the Services in your region (“TikTok”, “we” or “us”):  
Residents of the EEA + Switzerland: The Services are provided by TikTok Technology Limited,
which is registered in Ireland with its registered office at 10 Earlsfort Terrace, Dublin, D02 T380,
Ireland and company number 635755.
Residents of the United Kingdom: The Services are provided by TikTok Information
Technologies UK Limited, which is registered in England with its registered office at 6th Floor,
One London Wall, London, EC2Y 5EB, United Kingdom.
Your Service provider may change if you relocate to another country and continue using our Services. The
Services are provided for private, non-commercial use. For the purposes of these Terms, “you” and “your”
means you as the user of the Services.
The Terms form a legally binding agreement between you and us. Please take the time to read them carefully
and if you do not agree to them, please do not register, access or use any of the Services.
2. Description of the Services 
The Services and the Platform are only for people 13 years old and over. 
You can use the Services and the Platform via the TikTok mobile apps (“App”) and via the TikTok Website
(“Website”). Certain functions are available only in the App. Further, not all Services or features may be available
in your country or region. Different features may be available in different versions of the Services. Certain
features are not available for users under a certain age. 
The Services allow you to create, publish and share short-form videos and to consume videos other users have
created and interact with those videos and other users. 
Create and share videos: In particular:

You can record or import videos into the Services. 
You can edit videos and enrich them with filters and additional elements. 
You can also include content from other users in your videos, provided the creator of the
respective video allows the use of their content for such purposes. Other users can use your
content in their videos, if you allow the use of your content for such purposes.
You can publish videos in the Services so that other users can consume your videos. Videos
you publish publicly will be available in the App and on the Website.
You can share your videos, or videos of others that have enabled sharing, via various
messaging services and on third-party social media platforms (e.g. Instagram, Facebook,
YouTube, Twitter) in accordance with the respective terms of service.
You can enter a video description, tags and various privacy settings when publishing a video.
You can enter a short biography text and profile picture in your public user profile.
Subject to the conditions of our Virtual Items Policy you can live stream, use live streaming
features, purchase coins and exchange coins for gifts (the “Live Stream Program”). 
Consume videos: You can consume videos of other users of the Services. In particular:
You can consume videos that other users have shared publicly or by users you follow.
The Service provides you with a customised “For You” page in which the Service selects videos
to show you based on what the Service determines could be interesting for you. For further
information, please see the Privacy Policy. 
The Service provides other ways to find content for you to consume, e.g. a list of other users’
videos on their profile, a search function, and category selection.
You can watch live streams of other users.
Interact with other users: You can interact with users’ content and other users. In particular:
Direct messages: You can send direct messages to users if they follow you. 
Likes: You can like videos. 
Comments: Subject to users’ settings, you can post comments on their videos.
Follows: You can follow users. If users restrict their profile, you can only follow users if they
approve your request to follow.
“Find Friends” functionality: You can find friends through your phone address book and through
Facebook. 

Pro Accounts: You can also upgrade your user account to a free “Pro Account”. A Pro Account gives you access
to additional features, such as aggregated statistics about your content. If you participate in the TikTok Creator
Marketplace (“Marketplace”), you can use the Pro Account menu to access settings and manage requests
relating to Marketplace functions. 
Limitations to the Services: We strive to offer the Service without significant interruptions and to improve the
Service continuously. However, it may occur that the service is completely or partially unavailable for certain
periods of time for reasons of planned or unplanned downtime, for maintenance or in case of technical difficulties.
3. Accepting the Terms
By registering, accessing or using the Services, you agree that you can, and are entering into a legally binding
contract with TikTok comprised of the Terms, that you are 13 years old or over and that you accept these Terms
and that you agree to comply with them. 
Your access to and use of our Services is also subject to our Community Guidelines and our Virtual Items
Policy, the terms of which can be found directly on the Platform, or where the Platform is made available for
download, on your mobile device’s applicable app store. Those additional guidelines and policies are
incorporated into this legally binding contract between you and us by reference.
Please also review our Privacy Policy as this governs how we use your personal information.  
If you are accessing or using the Services on behalf of a business or entity, then (a) “you” and “your” includes you
and that business or entity, (b) you represent and warrant that you are an authorized representative of the
business or entity with the authority to bind the entity to these Terms, and that you agree to these Terms on the
entity’s behalf, and (c) your business or entity is legally and financially responsible for your access or use of the
Services as well as for the access or use of your account by others affiliated with your entity, including any
employees, agents or contractors.
While we will always have a copy of our current Terms available on the Platform (including the “Last Updated”
date), you should print off or save a local copy of the Terms for your records. 
4. Changes to the Terms and Services
We are constantly innovating, changing and improving the Services. We may also amend these Terms from time
to time, for instance when we update the functionality of the Services, or when there are regulatory changes that
impact these Terms or the Services. 
We will provide reasonable advance notice such as through a notice on our Platform of any material
modifications to these Terms or our Services that will materially disadvantage you or materially limit the access or
usage of our Services. However, you should also look at the Terms regularly to check for such changes. We will
also update the “Last Updated” date at the top of these Terms, to reflect the effective date of the most recently
updated version of the Terms. As we do not permit the use of the Services by persons who do not agree to
comply with our Terms, your continued access or use of the Services after the date of the new Terms constitutes

your acceptance of such new Terms. If you do not agree to the new Terms, you must stop accessing or using the
Services and close your account (if applicable).
For modifications to the Terms or to the Services that we need to make to meet security, safety, legal or
regulatory requirements, we may not be able to notify you in advance but we will let you know as soon as
practicable.
5. Your Account with Us
To access or use some of our Services, you must create an account with us. When you create this account, you
must provide accurate and up-to-date information. It is important that you maintain and promptly update your
details and any other information you provide to us, to keep such information current and complete. The Terms
are also accessible to you on the Platform at all times. It is important that you keep your account password
confidential and that you do not disclose it to any third party. If you know or suspect that any third party knows
your password or has accessed your account, you must notify us immediately
at: https://www.tiktok.com/legal/report/feedback.
6. Termination 
We reserve the right to temporarily or permanently suspend or terminate your user account or impose limits on or
restrict your access to parts or all of the Services with or without notice at any time for any or no reason
including: 
if we reasonably believe you violate, or we have objective grounds to reasonably believe you
are about to violate, the Terms, including any incorporated agreements, policies or guidelines
(such as our Community Guidelines), or any applicable laws or regulations; 
if activities occur on your account which, in our sole discretion, would or might cause damage to
or impair us or our Services or infringe or violate any third party rights (including intellectual
property rights); 
in response to requests by law enforcement or other government agencies under valid legal
process; 
due to unexpected technical or security issues or problems; or 
if there are extended periods of inactivity in your account. 
If we permanently suspend or terminate your user account, we will notify you in advance in order to allow you
time to access and save your information and content unless we have reason to believe that continued access to
your account will cause damage to us or our Services, or violate requests by law enforcement or other
government agencies, applicable laws or regulations or third party rights.  
Subject to any statutory rights you might have, if your account is temporarily or permanently suspended or
terminated, access to your username, password, and any related information or content associated with your

account may be suspended or terminated. As we do not guarantee the permanent availability of your content,
you should make backups of any content you value. 
If you no longer want to use our Services, you can request the deletion of your account through the functionalities
provided on the Platform. You can also contact us at: https://www.tiktok.com/legal/report/feedback. We will
provide you with further assistance and guide you through the process of the deletion of your account. Please be
aware that once you choose to delete your account, you will not be able to reactivate your account or retrieve any
of the content or information you have added.

users to any harm or liability of any type.
In addition to the above, your access to and use of the Services must, at all times, be compliant with
our Community Guidelines.
We reserve the right, at any time and without prior notice, to permanently or temporarily remove or suspend
access to content if in our sole opinion the content violates or potentially violates these Terms or our Community
Guidelines, third party rights (including intellectual property rights), applicable laws or regulations or is otherwise
harmful to the Services, our users or third-parties. 
8. Intellectual Property Rights
We respect intellectual property rights and ask you to do the same. As a condition of your access to and use of
the Services, you agree not to infringe intellectual property rights of any person while using the Services. For
example, you agree not to upload any content that is the property of someone else to the Services. 
9. Content
TikTok Content
As between you and TikTok, all content, software, images, text, graphics, illustrations, logos,
patents, trademarks, service marks, copyrights, photographs, audio, videos, music on and “look
and feel” of the Services, the Platform and the App, and all intellectual property rights related
thereto (the “TikTok Content”), are either owned or licensed by TikTok, it being understood that
you or your licensors will own any User Content (as defined below) you upload or transmit
through the Services. Use by you of the TikTok Content or other materials available as part of
the Services for any purpose not expressly permitted by these Terms is strictly prohibited. Such
content and materials may not be downloaded, copied, reproduced, distributed, transmitted,
broadcast, displayed, sold, licensed or otherwise exploited for any purpose whatsoever without
our or, where applicable, our licensors’ prior express written consent. We and our licensors
reserve absolutely and unconditionally all rights arising out of or in connection with the Services
and the TikTok Content not expressly granted in and to such content and materials.
You acknowledge and agree that we may generate revenues, increase goodwill or otherwise
increase our value from your use of the Services, including, by way of example and not
limitation, through the sale of advertising, sponsorships, promotions, usage data and gifts and
except as specifically permitted by us in these Terms or in another agreement you enter into
with us, you will have no right to share in any such revenue, goodwill or value whatsoever. You
further acknowledge that, except as specifically permitted by us in these Terms or in another
agreement you enter into with us, you (i) have no right to receive any income or other
consideration from any User Content (defined below) or your use of any musical works, sound
recordings or audiovisual clips made available to you on or through the Services, including in
any User Content created by you, and (ii) are prohibited from exercising any rights to monetize

or obtain consideration from any User Content within the Services or on any third party service
(including, without limitation, YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter or any other social media
platform) to the extent that such User Content has been in any way edited or otherwise altered
through the Services (including through the use of TikTok Elements (as defined below)). 
Subject to these Terms, you are hereby granted a non-exclusive, limited, non-transferable, non-
sublicensable, revocable, worldwide license to access and use the Services, including to
download the Platform on a permitted device, and to access the TikTok Content solely for your
personal, non-commercial use through your use of the Services and solely in compliance with
these Terms. TikTok reserves absolutely and unconditionally all rights not expressly granted
herein in the Services and the TikTok Content. You acknowledge and agree that upon any
termination of your account or these Terms, this license granted to you in respect of the
Services will automatically terminate.
NO RIGHTS ARE LICENSED TO YOU UNDER THESE TERMS WITH RESPECT TO SOUND
RECORDINGS (AND THE MUSICAL WORKS EMBODIED THEREIN) THAT ARE MADE
AVAILABLE FROM OR THROUGH THE SERVICES.
You acknowledge and agree that when you view content provided by others on the Services,
you are doing so at your own risk. The content on our Services is provided for general
information only. It is not intended to amount to advice on which you should rely. You must
obtain professional or specialist advice before taking, or refraining from, any action on the basis
of the content on the Services.
We make no representations, warranties or guarantees, whether express or implied, that any
TikTok Content (including User Content) is accurate, complete or up to date. Where the Services
contain links to other sites and resources provided by third parties, these links are provided for
your information only. We have no visibility or control over the contents on or available through
those sites or resources and you acknowledge and agree that we have no liability for any such
content. Such links should not be interpreted as approval by us of those linked websites or
information you may obtain on or through them. You acknowledge that we have no obligation to
pre-screen, monitor, review, or edit any content posted by you and other users on the Platform
(including User Content).
User-Generated Content
Users of the Services may be permitted to upload, post or transmit (such as via a stream) or
otherwise make available content through the Services including, without limitation, any text,
photographs, user videos, sound recordings and the musical works embodied therein (including
videos that incorporate locally stored sound recordings from your personal music library and
ambient noise) uploaded to, or otherwise made available through, the Services (“User
Content”). You acknowledge and agree that users of the Services may also extract all or any
portion of User Content uploaded or otherwise made available by you through the Services so
as to produce additional User Content, including collaborative User Content with other users
that combine and intersperse with User Content generated by you and other users. 

Users of the Services may also overlay music, graphics, stickers, Virtual Items (as defined and
further explained in the Virtual Items Policy) and other elements provided bv TikTok (“TikTok
Elements”) onto User Content and transmit this User Content through the Services. The
information and materials in the User Content, including User Content that includes TikTok
Elements, have not been verified or approved by us. The views expressed by other users on the
Services (including through use of the virtual gifts) do not represent our views or values.
Whenever you access or use a feature that allows you to upload or transmit User Content
through the Services (including via certain third party social media platforms such as Instagram,
Facebook, YouTube or Twitter), or to make contact with other users of the Services, you must
comply with the standards set out at Section 7 above. You may also choose to upload or
transmit your User Content, including User Content that includes TikTok Elements, on sites or
platforms hosted by third parties. If you decide to do this, you must comply with their content
guidelines as well as with the standards set out in this Section 9 above. You warrant that any
such contribution does comply with those standards, and you will be liable to us and indemnify
us for any breach of that warranty. This means you will be responsible for any loss or damage
we suffer as a result of your breach of warranty.
Any User Content will be considered non-confidential. You must not post any User Content on or
through the Services or transmit to us any User Content that you consider to be confidential or
proprietary to any other person. When you submit User Content through the Services, you agree
and represent that you own that User Content, or you have received all necessary permissions
(including any necessary licenses), clearances from, or are authorised by, the owner of any part
of the content to submit such User Content to the Services, to transmit it from the Services to
other third party platforms, and/or to otherwise make any use of such User Content on or
through the Services.
If you only own the rights in and to a sound recording, but not to the underlying musical works
embodied in such sound recordings, then you must not upload or otherwise make available
such sound recordings through the Services unless you have all permissions (including any
necessary licenses), clearances from, or are authorised by, the owner of any part of the content
to submit it to the Services .
Except as expressly provided otherwise in these Terms, you or the owner of your User Content
still own the copyright and any other intellectual property rights in User Content sent to us, but
by submitting User Content via the Services, you hereby grant (i) to us and our affiliates, agents,
services providers, partners and other connected third parties an unconditional irrevocable, non-
exclusive, royalty-free, fully transferable (including sub-licensable), perpetual worldwide licence
to use, modify, adapt, reproduce, make derivative works of, publish and/or transmit, and/or
distribute and to authorise others users of the Services and other third-parties to view, access,
use, download, modify, adapt, reproduce, make derivative works of, publish and/or transmit your
User Content in any format and on any platform, either now known or hereinafter invented; (ii) to
other users of the Services an unconditional irrevocable, non-exclusive, royalty-free, perpetual
worldwide licence to use, modify, adapt, reproduce, make derivative works of, download, publish

and/or transmit, and/or distribute some or all of your User Content in any format and on any
platform, either now known or hereinafter invented for the purpose of generating other User
Content or viewing your User Content for entertainment or other private, non-commercial
purposes.
You further grant us and our affiliates, agents, services providers, partners and other connected
third parties a royalty-free license to use your user name, image, voice, and likeness to identify
you as the source of any of your User Content.
For the avoidance of doubt, the rights granted in the preceding paragraphs of this Section
include, but are not limited to, the right to reproduce sound recordings (and make mechanical
reproductions of the musical works embodied in such sound recordings), and publicly perform
and communicate to the public sound recordings (and the musical works embodied therein), all
on a royalty-free basis. This means that you are granting us the right to use your User Content
without the obligation to pay royalties to you or any third party, including, but not limited to, a
sound recording copyright owner (e.g. a record label), a musical work copyright owner (e.g. a
music publisher), a performing rights organisation (e.g. ASCAP, BMI, SESAC, etc.) (a “PRO”), a
sound recording PRO (e.g. SoundExchange), any unions or guilds, and engineers, producers or
other royalty participants that may be involved (either knowingly or otherwise) in the creation of
User Content.
Specific Rules for Musical Works and for Recording Artists. If you are a composer or author of a musical
work and are affiliated with a PRO, then you must notify your PRO of the royalty-free license you grant through
these Terms in your User Content to us. You are solely responsible for ensuring your compliance with the
relevant PRO’s reporting obligations and any other terms of that PRO applicable to you. If you have assigned
your rights to a music publisher, then you must obtain the consent of such music publisher to grant the royalty-
free license(s) set forth in these Terms in your User Content or have such music publisher enter into these Terms
with us. Just because you authored a musical work (e.g. wrote a song) does not mean you have the right to grant
us the licenses in these Terms. If you are a recording artist under contract with a record label, then you are solely
responsible for ensuring that your use of the Services is in compliance with any contractual obligations you may
have to your record label, including if you create any new recordings through the Services that may be claimed
by your label.
Through-To-The-Audience Rights. All of the rights you grant in your User Content in these Terms are provided
on a through-to-the-audience basis, meaning the owners or operators of third party services will not have any
separate liability to you or any other third party arising out of or in connection with such availability of your User
Content through such third party services.
Waiver of Rights to User Content. By posting User Content to or through the Services, you waive any rights to
prior inspection or approval of any marketing or promotional materials related to such User Content. You also
waive (to the extent permitted by applicable law) any and all rights of privacy, publicity, or any other rights of a
similar nature in connection with your User Content, or any portion thereof. You hereby waive (to the extent
permitted by applicable law) and agree never to assert any and all moral rights you may have in or with respect of
any of the User Content you upload or otherwise make available through the Services, or to support, maintain or
permit any action based on any such moral rights.

You acknowledge and agree that in certain circumstances, we also have the right to disclose your identity to any
third party who is claiming that any User Content posted or uploaded by you to our Services constitutes a
violation of their intellectual property rights, or of their right to privacy.
We, or authorised third parties, reserve the right to cut, crop, edit or refuse to publish your content at our or their
sole discretion. We have the right to remove, disallow, block or delete any posting you make on our Platform if, in
our opinion, your post does not comply with the content standards set out at Section 7 (Your Use of Our
Services) above. In addition, we have the right – but not the obligation – in our sole discretion to remove,
disallow, block or delete any User Content (i) that we consider to violate these Terms, or (ii) in response to
complaints from other users or third parties, with or without notice and without any liability to you. As a result, we
recommend that you save copies of any User Content that you post to the Services on your personal device(s) in
the event that you want to ensure that you have permanent access to copies of such User Content. We do not
guarantee the accuracy, integrity, appropriateness or quality of any User Content, and under no circumstances
will we be liable in any way for any User Content.
You control whether your User Content is made publicly available on the Services to all other users of the
Services or only available to people you approve. To change the default access setting for how your User
Content is made available to other users, you should access the privacy setting available within the Services and
follow the simple and clearly delineated steps set out therein.
We accept no liability in respect of any content or information submitted by users of the Services and published
by us, or on our behalf, on any of the Services or elsewhere by third parties.
If you find inappropriate content that violates our Community Guidelines or have any other issues you'd like to
raise, you can send us a report. 
While our own staff is continually working to develop and evaluate our own product ideas and features, we pride
ourselves on paying close attention to the interests, feedback, comments, and suggestions we receive from the
user community. If you choose to contribute by sending us or our employees any ideas for products, services,
features, modifications, enhancements, content, refinements, technologies, content offerings (such as audio,
visual, games, or other types of content), promotions, strategies, or product/feature names, or any related
documentation, artwork, computer code, diagrams, or other materials (collectively “Feedback”), then regardless
of what your accompanying communication may say, the following terms will apply, so that the status of such
Feedback is clearly understood by you and us. Accordingly, by sending Feedback to us, you agree that:
we have no obligation to review, consider, or implement your Feedback, or to return to you all or
part of any Feedback for any reason;
Feedback is provided on a non-confidential basis, and we are not under any obligation to keep
any Feedback you send confidential or to refrain from using or disclosing it in any way; and
you irrevocably grant us an unconditional, non-exclusive, royalty free, fully transferable
(including sub-licensable), perpetual worldwide and unlimited license to adapt, reproduce,
distribute, create derivative works of, modify, publicly perform (including on a through-to-the-
audience basis), communicate to the public, make available, publicly display, and otherwise use

and exploit the Feedback and derivatives thereof for any purpose and without restriction, free of
charge and without attribution of any kind, including by making, using, selling, offering for sale,
importing, and promoting commercial products and services that incorporate or embody
Feedback, whether in whole or in part, and whether as provided or as modified.
10. Indemnity
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless TikTok, its parents, subsidiaries, and affiliates, and each of
their respective officers, directors, employees, agents and advisors from any and all claims, liabilities, costs,
damages, losses and expenses (including, but not limited to, attorneys’ fees and expenses) arising out of or in
connection with any breach by you (or any user of your account for any of the Services) of these Terms, including
but not limited to a breach of your obligations, representation and warranties.

PLATFORM FOR BUSINESS AND OPERATIONAL REASONS AT ANY TIME WITHOUT NOTICE.
