Charges & Financial Obligations · Procedure
Follow claim instructions promptly or lose the Reward; unclaimed Rewards may go to an alternative winner
If you are eligible to claim a Reward and TikTok USDS Joint Venture sends you instructions, you must follow them to remain eligible (for physical Rewards, for example, you may be asked for a valid mailing address, which it says it will process under its Privacy Policy). Failing to follow the instructions to claim and receive a Reward in a timely manner disqualifies you from the Reward. If a winner cannot be contacted or confirmed, or the Reward is not successfully claimed in a timely manner, the Reward may be forfeited and an alternative winner may be selected in line with the selection criteria.
