When you create a Shopify account, you agree to our Terms of Service. Our Terms of Service are designed to keep our community safe and thriving. Here’s a quick overview of what’s included in our Terms of Service:

Prohibited Activities

You agree not to use Shopify for any illegal or unauthorized purpose. You agree not to violate any laws in your jurisdiction (including but not limited to copyright or trademark laws).

PRO TIP: If you are unsure about what the terms of service are on Shopify, it is best to contact customer service for clarification. The terms of service may be different depending on the type of account you have, and it is important to be aware of what you are agreeing to before using the platform.

User Generated Content

Shopify may allow you to upload, post, or otherwise contribute content to our Services (“User Generated Content”). You retain ownership of any rights you hold in User Generated Content, but you grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable, and transferable license to use, reproduce, distribute, prepare derivative works of, display, and perform your User Generated Content in connection with the Shopify Services.

Conclusion:

The Terms of Service on Shopify is designed to protect the community and keep everyone safe. Prohibited activities include anything illegal or unauthorized, and users are not allowed to violate any laws in their jurisdiction. Shopify may allow users to upload content, and by doing so, they grant Shopify a license to use that content.
