What the terms actually say

Section 11 — Arbitration

By accepting these Terms, you agree that the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Section, and that you and Pinterest are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action.

You cannot sue Pinterest in court or join a class action; you must resolve disputes individually through private arbitration.

Section 3(b) — How we and other users can use your User Content

By providing any User Content on the Service, you grant us and our affiliates and service providers, and our users, a non-exclusive, royalty-free, transferable, sublicensable, worldwide license to use, store, publicly perform or display, reproduce, save, modify, create derivative works, monetize, download, translate and distribute your User Content...

You grant Pinterest a massive, perpetual, and sublicensable license to do almost anything with your content, including monetizing it, without paying you.

Section 10 — Limitation of Liability

In no event shall our aggregate liability for all claims relating to the Service exceed one hundred U.S. dollars (U.S. $100.00).

Even if Pinterest causes you significant harm, the most you can recover is $100.

Section 12 — Governing Law and Jurisdiction

In all other cases, these Terms and your use of the Service shall be governed by the laws of the State of California... the exclusive place of jurisdiction for any claim, dispute, or controversy arising from or in connection with these Terms or the Service is San Francisco County, California.

If you are not in the EEA/UK, you must resolve all legal disputes in San Francisco, California.

Section 13(a) — Notification Procedures and Changes to these Terms

Unless otherwise required by law, we’ll notify you of any material changes to these Terms before any update enters into effect.

Pinterest promises to inform you of significant changes to the terms before they become binding.

Section 7 — Termination

You may also terminate or delete your account at any time.

You are free to leave the platform whenever you choose.
