Public Content Display Terms

In these Public Content Display Terms, “Snap”, “we” and “us” means either Snap Inc. (if you live in the United States or if you are using the Services on behalf of a business located in the United States) or Snap Group Limited (if you live or are using the Services on behalf of a business located elsewhere). By embedding Snap’s audiovisual player or other product(s) that we make available to you (the “Embed”), you agree to these Public Content Display Terms, which incorporate by reference our Terms of ServicePrivacy PolicyCommunity Guidelines, and Advertising Policies (collectively, and together with these Public Content Display Terms, the “Terms”). The Embed is one of our Services, as that term is defined in our Terms of Service and used throughout the Terms. Please read the Terms carefully. We may update or change the Terms at any time without notice, so please also read them regularly. By continuing to use the Service, you accept any updates to the Terms. To the extent these Public Content Display Terms conflict with other terms governing the Service, these Public Content Display Terms will apply.

1. License

Snap grants you a personal, worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to (a) use the Embed on a website or mobile application in order to distribute Public Content (which is defined in our Terms of Service) and (b) display the Snapchat name and logo, solely to attribute the Snapchat application as the source of the Embed.

All rights not expressly granted to you in this section are reserved by Snap. Nothing in these Terms grants you an implied license of any kind.

2. General Terms

By using the Embed, you will be able to display Public Content outside of the Snapchat application. While we provide this feature so that members of our community (including you) can share Public Content to a broader audience, you must comply with the following while using it:

  • Always use the Embed and display Public Content in compliance with any branding or attribution requirements that we provide, including the Snapchat Brand Guidelines.

  • As a reminder, your use of the Embed is still a use of Snapchat and must comply with our Community Guidelines.

  • The license we’ve granted you in these Public Content Display Terms does not include a license to the third party intellectual property or other proprietary rights that may be included in Public Content. You agree to obtain all necessary rights, permissions, and licenses before you use and distribute the Public Content on a website, or mobile application using the Embed.

  • Always comply with any requirements or restrictions imposed on the use of Public Content by us or any other owner of the Public Content.

  • Promptly remove any Public Content and the related Embed that we — or the owner of the Public Content, if that isn’t us — ask you to remove.

  • Don’t use Public Content in any advertisement or advertising product without the explicit permission from the owner of the Public Content.

  • Don’t use the Embed or Public Content to imply sponsorship by, endorsement from, or a false association with Snap, any of its users, or third party content providers.

  • Don’t collect data related to the Embed or Public Content or the Snapchat application in a manner that violates the Terms.

  • Always use the Embed and display Public Content in compliance with all applicable laws, rules, and regulations.

  • Don’t use the Embed or Public Content on a website, or mobile application with terms that conflict with the Terms.

  • Don’t use the Embed or Public Content in a way that indicates it is from a social platform or medium other than the Snapchat application.

  • Don’t use the Embed or Public Content to replicate or compete with the Snapchat application.

3. Content Appropriateness

In addition to the disclaimers included in any of our other Terms, by displaying Public Content on a website, or mobile application, you understand that Public Content is created by our users and may not be appropriate for all audiences or ages. As such, you agree that Snap is not liable for any claims based on or arising from Public Content.
