TikTok US terms add Florida age rule and expand sanctions-related restrictions and termination rights

Check the region✓ Machine-checked

The minimum age is now 14 in Florida unless using the Under 13 Experience. Export-control and sanctions rules moved into the list of prohibited conduct and were expanded, with new named regions and sanctioned-party lists. TikTok gained additional grounds to suspend or terminate accounts, and the indemnity now explicitly covers sanctions and export violations.

  • Entities must now also certify that their officers, directors, controlling shareholders, employees and agents are not on sanctioned party lists.
  • Indemnity now explicitly covers export control and sanctions violations
  • More grounds for TikTok to suspend or terminate accounts, including shareholder sanctions designation and sanctions risk to TikTok
