Terms of Service

Terms of Service (ToS) is a legal agreement between a platform or service provider and its users that defines the rules, rights, and responsibilities governing the use of the platform. For creators, understanding the Terms of Service of each platform they use is critical because ToS agreements define what content is permitted, how the platform can use creator content, what actions can result in account suspension or termination, and how disputes are resolved. Platform ToS agreements often include provisions that grant the platform broad licenses to use creator content — understanding these provisions is essential for creators who want to maintain control over their intellectual property.
