TikTok Shop Enhanced Managed Services Creator Terms

Last Updated: March 24th, 2026
These Enhanced Managed Services Creator Terms (“Creator Terms”) govern Creator’s contribution to campaigns, collaborations, or promotional activities conducted by TikTok related to the enhanced managed services program described herein (the “Program”).
These Creator Terms apply solely to Creator’s contribution to the Program. Creator’s general use of TikTok Shop and participation in other creator activities remain governed by the applicable TikTok Shop Creator Terms of Use, Campaign Terms and Conditions, Flat Fee Terms and Conditions, and any other creator-facing terms or policies made available through the Platform (collectively, the “Creator Platform Terms”). In the event of a conflict between these Creator Terms and the Creator Platform Terms, these Creator Terms will govern solely with respect to Creator’s participation in the Program.
By accepting a collaboration, task, campaign, or invitation designated as conducted by TikTok and part of the Program, Creator agrees to these Creator Terms.

1. Nature of the Program

The Program is a services initiative under which TikTok procures content and associated advertising services for use on the Platform.
Creators participating in Program campaigns are engaged by TikTok. Creators are not engaged by, and do not contract directly with, the sellers whose products may appear in the content provided.
Nothing in the Program alters Creator’s independent contractor status under the Creator Platform Terms.

2. Engagement and Relationship

For Program campaigns:
  • Creator is engaged by TikTok (or its applicable affiliate) and not by a seller.
  • Creator has no authority to bind any seller.
  • Creator’s relationship with TikTok remains that of an independent contractor.
Creator is responsible for determining the manner and means by which Creator produces content, subject to compliance with Program requirements and applicable law.
Nothing in these Creator Terms creates an employment, agency, joint venture, or partnership relationship between Creator and TikTok.

3. Compensation and Payment

For Program campaigns:
  • All compensation is the sole and direct payment obligation of TikTok, acting on its own behalf and from its own funds, and is not a pass-through of funds from any seller.
  • Creator has no right to seek payment directly from any seller for content provided under the Program.
  • Any references in the Platform interface to "commission," "referral fee," "incentive," or similar terminology in connection with the Program refer to compensation payable by TikTok under these Creator Terms and not by any seller.
Compensation may be structured as flat fees, performance-based payments, transaction-based commissions, or other incentive models disclosed at the time of campaign participation by TikTok.
Payments will be processed through the Platform’s existing creator payment systems applicable in the relevant market.
TikTok reserves the right to withhold, offset, or adjust payments in cases of: (a) Creator's failure to deliver content that is approved by TikTok in accordance with Section 4, (b) fraud, (c) policy violations, (d) returned orders, (e) refunded transactions, or (f) other invalid activity, as provided under the Creator Platform Terms.
Creator is solely responsible for all taxes, reporting obligations, and compliance associated with compensation received under the Program.
Where compensation is calculated on a transactional basis, eligibility, calculation methodology, exclusions (including refunds, cancellations, logistics fees, platform fees, invalid activity, or other adjustments), and timing will be determined by TikTok and disclosed in the applicable interface.

4. Content Creation and Approval

Creator is the publisher of all content posted to their account and is solely and exclusively responsible for it. Creator acknowledges and agrees that while TikTok may provide guidelines or best practices, TikTok is not the approver or publisher of the content. Creator retains final control and liability for all content published under their account.
Creator agrees to comply with:
  • all applicable advertising, endorsement, and consumer protection laws;
  • disclosure requirements regarding sponsored content and material connections;
  • Platform policies; and
  • campaign-specific requirements communicated at the time of participation.
TikTok may modify, suspend, or discontinue campaign-specific commission structures, incentives, or participation mechanics for Products enrolled in the Program, and Creator acknowledges that standard affiliate tools or tiered commission features may not apply to such Products.

5. No Employment or Benefits

Creator acknowledges and agrees that:
  • Creator is not an employee of TikTok.
  • Creator is not entitled to wages, overtime, benefits, workers’ compensation, unemployment insurance, or other employee benefits.
  • Creator is responsible for Creator’s own business expenses, equipment, personnel, and production costs unless otherwise expressly agreed in writing.
Nothing in the Program guarantees any minimum level of work, compensation, engagement frequency, or revenue.
Creator further acknowledges that participation in the Program does not create any ongoing service obligation by TikTok and does not entitle Creator to continued access to Program campaigns.

6. Intellectual Property

With respect to any content created for the Program ("Program Content"), Creator grants TikTok a worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free, sublicensable, and transferable license to use, reproduce, distribute, create derivative works from, display, and perform the Program Content in any and all media. This license includes the express right for TikTok to sublicense the Program Content to the sellers whose products are featured, for their use in connection with the Platform.
Creator acknowledges that content created under the Program may be used by TikTok in connection with:
  • advertising and promotion across TikTok channels,
  • performance optimization, and
  • marketing of the Program.
Seller’s use of Creator content remains governed by applicable Platform policies and campaign disclosures.

7. Suspension or Removal from Managed Service Plan

Subject to the notice requirements set out in the applicable Creator Platform Terms, as applicable, TikTok may suspend, remove, or restrict Creator’s participation in the Program:
  • for violations of law, policy, or campaign requirements;
  • for suspected fraud or abusive conduct;
  • where required for legal, regulatory, or reputational reasons; or
  • at TikTok’s discretion consistent with the Creator Platform Terms.
Suspension from the Program does not necessarily terminate Creator’s general access to the Platform unless separately determined under the Creator Platform Terms.
