These Managed Service Plan Seller Terms (“Plan Terms”) govern Seller participation in the managed services program described herein (the “Managed Service Plan”) offered by the TikTok Shop entity identified as the contracting party in the applicable TikTok Shop Seller Terms of Service (“Seller TOS”) for the TikTok Shop marketplace in which the Seller’s store participates (“TikTok” or the “Platform”). These Plan Terms, together with the applicable Regional Schedule, supplement and form part of the applicable Seller TOS. Capitalized terms not defined in these Plan Terms have the meanings given in the Seller TOS or the applicable Regional Schedule.
PLEASE READ THESE PLAN TERMS CAREFULLY, INCLUDING THE PROVISIONS RELATING TO EARLY TERMINATION, REFUNDS, LIMITATION OF LIABILITY, AND AUTHORIZATION OF ACCESS.
By enrolling in or participating in the Managed Service Plan, Seller agrees to be bound by these Plan Terms, the applicable Regional Schedule, and the Seller TOS.

Managed Service Plan Overview

The Managed Service Plan provides optional operational support services to selected sellers, such as content and creator management services, promotion management, and advertising management services, as further described in these Plan Terms.
The Managed Service Plan is a distinct service offering available within the Platform’s Smart Promotion Program framework, which also includes the Standard Plan (as defined in Section 3). The Smart Promotion Program framework has two distinct modes for sellers and may operate in different modes depending on region and Seller eligibility:
  • Smart Promotion ("SP") Mode: This is the standard participation mode. The Managed Service Plan is available only to Sellers participating in SP Mode
  • Co-Funded Program ("CFP") Mode: Sellers participating in CFP Mode must apply and receive operational approval and are not eligible for the Managed Service Plan.
Certain services, notably content and creator management services, are provided only as part of the Managed Service Plan and are not included in the Standard Plan (as defined below).
The Managed Service Plan is available only to Sellers participating in the Smart Promotion SP Mode and is not available to Sellers participating in the CFP Mode.
TikTok may modify, suspend, or discontinue the Managed Service Plan or any plan-related services at any time subject to your rights set forth in the Seller TOS.
Participation in the Managed Service Plan does not create exclusivity, minimum service commitments, or any obligation on the part of TikTok to continue the Managed Service Plan for any duration.

Eligibility and Participation

Participation in the Managed Service Plan is limited to eligible sellers participating in SP Mode selected by the Platform based on neutral and objective criteria.
The Platform may limit the number of Sellers eligible to participate, modify eligibility criteria, or revoke eligibility at any time subject to your rights set forth in the Seller TOS.
Seller acknowledges that participation in the Managed Service Plan is voluntary and that the Platform has no obligation to offer the Managed Service Plan to any particular Seller.

Definitions

“Creators” means independent third-party creators, influencers, or other content publishers who promote Products on the Platform, as set forth in the applicable TikTok Shop Creator Terms of Use. Creators may participate in promotional activities either through direct collaborations with Sellers under the Standard Plan or through promotional campaigns coordinated by TikTok under the Managed Service Plan. For clarity, Creators are engaged by TikTok (or its affiliates) only when the Platform provides content and creator management services as part of the Managed Service Plan. Creators are independent third parties and are not employees, agents, or representatives of either Seller or TikTok.
“Minimum Price” means the total amount a Seller receives for the sale of a single unit of a Product after all buyer-facing discounts, calculated as: (a) the final sale price paid by the buyer plus (b) any platform-funded subsidies or discounts applied to that transaction.
“Products” means products offered for sale by Seller through Seller’s store on the Platform.
“Seller Materials” means all content, product information, creative assets, samples, trademarks, logos, brand names, service marks, and other materials provided by or on behalf of Seller to the Platform in connection with the Managed Service Plan, including materials publicly visible on product detail pages.
“SP Mode” means the standard participation mode of the Platform’s Smart Promotion program in which Sellers participate in the Standard Plan and may be eligible for additional service offerings such as the Managed Service Plan, subject to the Platform’s eligibility criteria.
“Service Period” means the defined period of the Plan services (as defined below), typically three (3) months, as disclosed to Seller at the time of enrollment.
"Standard Plan” means the standard package of services offered under the Platform’s Smart Promotion program, which is also referred to as the “Essential Plan.”

Relationship to Seller TOS

These Plan Terms supplement the Seller TOS and do not replace or amend the Seller TOS except as expressly stated herein.
In the event of a conflict between these Plan Terms and the Seller TOS, these Plan Terms shall prevail, but only with respect to the subject matter of the Managed Service Plan.

Service Period, Fees, and Renewal

Service Period and Relationship to Standard Plan

The Managed Service Plan is a paid service offered for a defined Service Period, as disclosed to Seller at the time of enrollment.
Enrollment in the Managed Service Plan requires concurrent participation in the Standard Plan for the duration of the Service Period. If Seller is not already enrolled in the Standard Plan at the time of enrollment in the Managed Service Plan, Seller will be automatically enrolled in the Standard Plan as part of the Managed Service Plan onboarding process.
Upon expiration or termination of the Service Period, Seller will remain in the Standard Plan subject to the standard Standard Plan fees and terms then in effect. Seller acknowledges and agrees that they may decide to terminate their participation in the Standard Plan at any time in accordance with the applicable terms.

Fees

In consideration for the Managed Service Plan, Seller agrees to pay the following fees:
(a) A Service Fee, which is a transaction-based commission charged per order. The Service Fee is calculated as a percentage of the Settlement Gross Merchandise Value (“Settlement GMV”) of completed transactions involving Seller’s products during the Service Period. The applicable Service Fee rate may vary by Seller tier or other criteria disclosed by the Platform.
(b) A non-refundable, one-time fixed participation fee for the applicable Service Period, if any is disclosed to Seller at the time of enrollment.
For clarity, any references in the Platform user interface or communications to “commissions” or “service fees” in connection with the Managed Service Plan refer to the Service Fee defined herein.
For purposes of these Plan Terms, “Settlement GMV” means the total order value paid by buyers for such transactions that are successfully completed and settled through the Platform, excluding orders that are cancelled, refunded, returned, or otherwise reversed due to violations of Platform policies or other adjustments determined by the Platform in accordance with its standard settlement processes.
For the avoidance of doubt, all fees payable under this section are separate from and in addition to any other fees payable by Seller under the Seller TOS or other Platform programs. This includes, but is not limited to, standard platform referral fees, logistics costs, refund administration fees, or any other operational fees associated with Seller's store.

Payment Authorization and Method

Seller irrevocably authorizes and agrees that the Platform may take such payment on an ongoing and recurring basis using any payment method linked to the Seller's account, including but not limited to: (a) deductions or offsets from settlement amounts due to Seller from the applicable payment service provider; (b) charges to prepaid balances; or (c) any other payment method details provided by Seller at enrollment.
Fees and commissions may be funded through upfront payments, deductions or offsets from settlement amounts due to Seller from the PSP or Third-Party PSP (as those terms are defined in the relevant Seller TOS), prepaid balances, or other payment mechanisms disclosed to Seller at enrollment or in accordance with the Seller TOS. Transaction-based commissions under the Managed Service Plan may be collected concurrently with other Platform service fees through the Platform’s existing settlement and fund flow structures applicable in the relevant market.
This authorization shall remain in effect until all outstanding fees for the applicable Service Period are paid in full, even if Seller’s participation is terminated or cancelled.

Fee Policies and Disclaimers

(a) No Refunds or Contingencies. All fees associated with the Managed Service Plan are non-refundable except as expressly required by applicable law. Fees are consideration for access to the Managed Service Plan and are not contingent on performance, sales outcomes, or profitability.
(b) Mid-Service Period Enrollment. If Seller enrolls in the Managed Service Plan part-way through a Service Period, the full one-time fixed participation fee for that period will apply, and the Service Fees will apply from the effective date of activation through the end of that Service Period.
(c) Payment Service Providers (“PSP”). Any settlement amounts referenced in these Plan Terms are amounts due to Seller from the applicable payment service provider. The Platform does not receive, hold, or transmit customer funds on behalf of Seller and is not a PSP.

Renewal of Service Period

The Managed Service Plan does not automatically renew. To ensure continuation of service, Seller must explicitly purchase a new Managed Service Plan package for the subsequent Service Period. The Platform may make a renewal window available during the final month of the then-current Service Period and may present in-app reminders or promotional offers to encourage renewal. A new Service Period will only begin upon Seller’s confirmation and payment for the new package. If Seller does not purchase a new package before the current Service Period expires, the Managed Service Plan will terminate, and Seller will remain in the Standard Plan pursuant to Section 5.1.

Seller Responsibilities

Overarching Responsibility

Participation in the Managed Service Plan does not alter Seller’s responsibilities under the Seller TOS. Seller remains solely responsible for:
  • the quality, safety, labeling, pricing, and legal compliance of its Products;
  • all product claims, advertising claims, endorsements, testimonials, and required disclosures made in connection with its Products, regardless of whether such claims are disseminated through services provided under the Managed Service Plan;

For clarity, any commissions or other compensation payable to Creators in connection with the Managed Service Plan are paid by TikTok, and Seller has no direct or indirect obligation to compensate Creators, except as may be expressly provided in Section 15.4 (Effect of Termination) of these Plan Terms..
Content Review
When generating promotional content, the Platform will use only product information that is publicly visible on Seller’s product detail pages.

For clarity, Seller retains control over the Minimum Price for each Product.
Seller acknowledges that participation in the Managed Service Plan may require the suspension or modification of certain promotional tools or features otherwise available to Seller. Seller agrees that such limitations are a fundamental part of the Managed Service Plan's design and not a breach of any Platform obligation.

Term, Termination, and Suspension

Term

The term of these Plan Terms will begin upon Seller’s enrollment and will continue for the duration of the applicable Service Period, unless terminated earlier in accordance with this Section 15.

Termination by Seller and Early Exit

Seller may not terminate these Plan Terms for convenience during a Service Period. Any requests for early termination are subject to the Platform’s sole discretion and will not result in a refund of any fees paid.
(a) General Rule. Except as expressly provided herein, Seller may not terminate these Plan Terms for convenience during a Service Period.
(b) Pre-Service Period Exit. Seller may apply to exit the Managed Service Plan without penalty at any time before the scheduled start of the Service Period, provided such application is not made within the three (3) calendar days immediately preceding the start date of the Service Period. If an exit request is submitted and approved under this section, Seller will receive a full refund of any one-time fixed participation fee paid.
(c) Mid-Period Exit Requests. During the Service Period, Seller may request to exit the Managed Service Plan at any time.
(d) Approval Process. As a precondition for submitting a mid-period exit request, Seller’s one-time fixed participation fee for the Service Period must be paid in full. All exit requests are subject to the Platform’s review and approval. The Platform will endeavor to review such requests within 3-5 business days. Until an exit request is formally approved by the Platform in writing, the Managed Service Plan will remain active, and Seller will remain responsible for all applicable fees, including Service Fees (commissions).

Termination and Suspension by the Platform

The Platform may suspend or terminate these Plan Terms and Seller's participation in the Managed Service Plan, subject to your rights set forth in the Seller TOS, if:
(a) Seller breaches these Plan Terms or the Seller TOS;
(b) the Platform reasonably determines that Seller's participation creates a legal, regulatory, or reputational risk; or
(c) the Platform discontinues the Managed Service Plan.

Effect of Termination

(a) General Effect. Upon termination of these Plan Terms for any reason: (ia) the Platform will cease providing Program services; (iib) Seller remains responsible for all outstanding fees incurred during the Service Period; and (iiic) Sections 9 (Intellectual Property), 10 (Feedback), 12 (Indemnification), 13 (Disclaimer), 14 (Limitation of Liability), and 16 (Governing Law), and any other provisions that by their nature should survive, will survive termination.
(b) Effect of Approved Early Exit. In the event of an approved early exit under Section 15.2, the following shall apply:
(i) Fixed Fee Refund. The Platform will issue a pro-rata refund of the one-time fixed participation fee paid by Seller for the applicable Service Period. The refund amount will be calculated as: (1 - (Accrued Service Days / Total Service Days in Period)) * (Fixed Fee Paid). For clarity, "Accrued Service Days" is the number of days from the start of the Service Period until the effective date of the approved exit.
(ii) Service Fees (Commissions). All Service Fees (commissions) incurred on transactions prior to the effective date of termination are non-refundable. No further Service Fees will be charged after the effective date of termination.
(iii) Creator Commissions Post-Exit. Seller acknowledges that the Platform’s obligation to pay commissions to Creators for orders completed under the Managed Service Plan ceases upon termination. Consequently, for certain collaborations (e.g., Open or Target Collaborations), if a consumer order is completed after the effective date of Seller's exit, the commission for that order may revert to the standard platform process, potentially making Seller directly liable for paying the Creator commission for that order under the applicable Creator Platform Terms. For other collaborations (e.g., Mission Invites), the Platform may continue to pay commissions for orders completed post-exit if the Creator accepted the mission prior to the exit.

Miscellaneous

Governing Law and Venue

These Plan Terms are governed by the laws specified in the Seller TOS. Any disputes arising from these Plan Terms will be resolved in the venue and in accordance with the dispute resolution procedures set forth in the Seller TOS.

Seller may not assign or transfer these Plan Terms without the Platform's prior written consent. The Platform may freely assign or transfer these Plan Terms without consent in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or substantially all of its assets.

Entire Agreement

These Plan Terms, together with the Seller TOS, constitute the entire agreement between the parties regarding the Managed Service Plan and supersede all prior agreements and understandings.

Severability

If any provision of these Plan Terms is found to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect.
