Terms of Service

1. Agreement to these terms

By accessing or using TikTok Translate (the “Service”), you agree to these Terms of Service (“Terms”). If you do not agree, do not use the Service. If you use the Service on behalf of an organization, you represent that you are authorized to accept these Terms on its behalf.

References to “we,” “us,” and “our” mean the operator of TikTok Translate. Questions about these Terms can be sent to [email protected].

2. What the Service does

TikTok Translate provides tools intended to help users understand supported TikTok comments in other languages. The Chrome extension supports translation of comments on TikTok's website. The Android application, when available, is designed to provide user-initiated translation of supported comments through an optional Android Accessibility feature. Features and supported languages may vary by platform, version, location, and availability.

We may offer free access subject to reasonable usage, security, and rate limits. Any future paid offering will be described separately before purchase; these Terms do not authorize charges without your agreement.

3. Accounts and security

Some features require an account and verification of your email address. You agree to provide accurate account information, keep your credentials secure, and notify us if you suspect unauthorized account access. You are responsible for activity under your account to the extent permitted by law.

You must meet the age requirements applicable to your use of the Service and any third-party platform with which it operates. Do not create accounts through automated or deceptive means or attempt to access another person's account.

4. Acceptable use

You may use the Service only in compliance with applicable law and these Terms. You agree not to interfere with the Service, bypass security or usage limits, reverse engineer protected components except where permitted by law, introduce malware, use automated means to overload the Service, or use it to infringe others' rights. Do not submit content you lack permission or a lawful basis to process, or use the Service to facilitate harassment, fraud, or other unlawful conduct.

We may take proportionate steps to protect users and the Service, including restricting abusive requests or suspending access where necessary.

5. Translation accuracy and content

Translations and contextual explanations may be generated by automated or AI-based systems. They can be inaccurate, incomplete, delayed, or omit nuance, slang, cultural context, or intent. You should independently verify translations before relying on them for important decisions, including legal, medical, financial, employment, or safety matters.

Comments and other content remain the responsibility of their original authors. We do not endorse or independently verify third-party content. You retain any rights you have in content you submit; you authorize us and our service providers to process submitted comment text as necessary to deliver translations, maintain security, and operate the Service, consistent with our Privacy Policy.

6. Third-party platforms and services

TikTok Translate is an independent product and is not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by TikTok. TikTok, Google, Chrome, Android, and other third-party services have their own terms and policies. Your use of those services remains subject to their applicable requirements.

Changes to TikTok's interfaces, third-party platform policies, browsers, operating systems, or service-provider availability may affect or interrupt TikTok Translate's features. We do not control those third-party services.

7. Privacy and information

Our Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, and handle information, including account details, selected comment text, usage information, and optional Android Accessibility processing. Please review it before using the Service. The Android Accessibility feature requires separate permission in your device settings and can be disabled there.

8. Availability, updates, and changes

We may maintain, update, improve, limit, or discontinue features and may temporarily suspend access for security, maintenance, legal compliance, or operational reasons. We do not guarantee uninterrupted availability or compatibility with every TikTok interface, device, or browser version.

We may revise these Terms from time to time. We will update the effective date and provide additional notice when required by law. Continued use after updated Terms take effect constitutes acceptance to the extent permitted by applicable law.

9. Intellectual property

We and our licensors retain rights in the Service, its software, branding, and original materials. Subject to these Terms, we grant you a limited, nonexclusive, nontransferable, revocable permission to use the Service for its intended purposes. This permission does not transfer ownership of our intellectual property or that of third parties.

10. Disclaimers and limitations of liability

To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Service is provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of uninterrupted operation, fitness for a particular purpose, or translation accuracy. Nothing in these Terms excludes warranties or rights that cannot legally be excluded.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, we are not responsible for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from use of the Service, including reliance on inaccurate translations or interruptions caused by third-party platforms. Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot legally be limited, including liability for fraud, intentional misconduct, or other non-excludable obligations under applicable law.

11. Suspension, termination, and account deletion

You may stop using the Service at any time. You may request account deletion using our account deletion instructions. We may suspend or terminate access when reasonably necessary to address violations, security risks, abuse, or legal requirements, subject to applicable law. Sections that by their nature should survive termination, including ownership, disclaimers, and limitations, will survive to the extent permitted by law.

12. General terms and contact

If a provision of these Terms is unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue to apply to the extent permitted by law. Failure to enforce a provision does not waive the right to enforce it later. Mandatory consumer-protection rights in your jurisdiction are not overridden by these Terms.
