Gauth Terms of Service

Last updated: January 22, 2026

Welcome to Gauth. The Gauth application, software, website, as well as any other related services or products (each, a “Service” and collectively, the “Services”) are operated by TikTok USDS Joint Venture LLC, a company registered in the United States. TikTok USDS Joint Venture LLC, its affiliated companies and partners are referred to collectively in these Terms of Service (“Terms”) as “TikTok USDS Joint Venture”, “we”, "us" or “our”. “You” “your” and “user(s)” refer to any person using the Services. TikTok USDS Joint Venture works with service providers and business partners, such as BD TikTok USA LLC and its affiliates (hereinafter referred to as “TT Commerce & Global Services”), in accordance with applicable laws including the Executive Order 14352 and any compliance obligations thereunder, and our affiliates in order to provide certain important functions of the Services so that you and other users can use it and enjoy a global experience, including in connection with commercial services and activities.
These Terms apply to United States users and govern your use of the Services that link to or reference these Terms, regardless of how you access them, whether by computer, mobile device or otherwise; and whether directly through our Services, or through any third-party website that links to them, and regardless of whether you are a registered user or unregistered user.
These Terms are a legally binding agreement between you and us. By using, registering for or accessing the Services, you confirm that you have read, understood and agreed to these Terms and any other documents referred to herein, including without limitation, our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to these Terms, you are not authorized to use the Services and you must cease all such use immediately.
You must be at least 13 years old and/or meet the minimum age requirement in your jurisdiction to use our Service. If you are under the age of majority in your jurisdiction you must have the express permission and consent from a parent or legal guardian to access and use the Services. By accessing or using the Services, you affirm that you are either 13 years of age or older and have parental or guardian consent if under the age of majority in your jurisdiction. We may offer additional Services with additional terms that may require you to be even older to use them. TikTok USDS Joint Venture reserves the right to terminate or suspend the accounts of users who do not meet these age requirements or who provide false information regarding their age and/or parental consent. TikTok USDS Joint Venture may, at its discretion, request proof of age or parental consent from users to verify compliance with the age restrictions and parental consent requirements outlined in these terms and conditions.
User Account
You may access or use the Services either as a registered user or unregistered user. If you are a registered user, you need to create an account to use the Services. The information you provide should be accurate and complete. It is your responsibility to update your account information to keep it current and accurate. When you set up an account, you also need to set a password. It is important that you take reasonable steps to maintain the confidentiality of your password.
You agree not to use the account, username, or password of another user at any time, nor to knowingly or recklessly disclose your password to any third party. You agree to notify us immediately if you suspect any unauthorized use of your account or access to your password. You may request termination of your account at any time by e-mailing us. We may terminate your account at any time if, in our sole discretion, you have failed to comply with any of the provisions of these Terms.
We may allow you to register for and log in to Gauth using log-in functionalities provided by third-party platforms, such as Apple, Facebook or Google. In addition to these Terms, you agree to comply with the relevant third-party platform’s terms of service applicable to your use of such functionalities.
Proprietary Rights
Unless otherwise explicitly specified, all materials that are included in or otherwise a part of the Services, including past, present, and future versions of Gauth, domain names, source and object code, text, site design, logos, graphics and icons and all registered and unregistered intellectual property rights related therein (collectively, "Gauth Content"), are owned, controlled, or licensed by TikTok USDS Joint Venture, our service providers and business partners, such as TT Commerce & Global Services, our affiliates, or third-party partners, as applicable. Gauth Content is protected from unauthorized use, copying and dissemination by applicable intellectual property laws. Any use of Gauth Content not expressly authorized by these Terms is expressly prohibited and could result in criminal or civil penalties.

Subject to your compliance with these Terms, TikTok USDS Joint Venture grants you a limited, non-sublicenseable, non-exclusive, non-commercial, revocable and non-transferable license to use the Services. You may only use the Services for your own personal use and must not use the Services in a commercial context, including as part of your trade, business or profession. You agree not to view, copy, or procure content or information from the Services by automated means (such as scripts, bots, spiders, crawlers, or scrapers), or to use other data mining technology or processes to frame, mask, extract data or other materials from the Gauth Content, unless formally authorized by TikTok USDS Joint Venture under a separate written agreement. No materials from the Services may be copied, reproduced, modified, republished, downloaded, uploaded, posted, transmitted, or distributed in any form or by any means without TikTok USDS Joint Venture’s prior written permission or as expressly provided in these Terms.

You acknowledge and agree that upon any termination of your account or these Terms, this license granted to you in respect of the Services will automatically terminate.
User Content
When you use the Services, you may generate or submit User Content. “User Content” means any content created by you, such as any text, math problems, answers, photographs, data and information, or any content that you submit. As permitted by applicable laws, by submitting and generating User Content via the Services, you grant TikTok USDS Joint Venture a non-exclusive, worldwide, unlimited, irrevocable, royalty-free, fully sublicensable (through multiple tiers) and fully transferable right to exercise any and all intellectual property rights you may have in the User Content, in any media known now or in the future, including to make, use, reproduce, copy, display, publish, exhibit, distribute, modify, sell, offer for sale, create derivative works based upon and otherwise use the User Content in order to provide the Services to users and develop the Services and similar products.

You agree that TikTok USDS Joint Venture and our service providers and business partners, including TT Commerce & Global Services, and our affiliates, have no obligation to monitor or enforce your intellectual property rights to your User Content but have the right to protect and enforce its and its licensees’ rights to your User Content. You further acknowledge and agree that, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, TikTok USDS Joint Venture and our service providers and business partners, including TT Commerce & Global Services, and our affiliates will not have any obligation to you with regard to User Content and that we may or may not monitor, display or accept your User Content and may delete it at any time.

using the Services in a manner inconsistent with any applicable law or the purpose of the Services.

Premium Services and Payment
Some of the Services are provided to you free-of-charge; while we may offer certain services or features for a fee (collectively “Premium Services”). Premium Services for United States users will be provided by TT Commerce & Global Services, in accordance with applicable laws including the Executive Order 14352 and any compliance obligations thereunder. By paying for or using one of these Premium Services, you agree to any additional terms applicable to that service.
You agree to pay all applicable fees for Premium Services as set forth on our app and/or website. All fees are payable in the currency specified at the point of checkout at the time of purchase. All Premium Services fees are exclusive of taxes, and you agree that we may charge you any applicable taxes in addition to the Premium Services fees.
To subscribe to any of Premium Services, you must meet the following conditions (“Eligibility Requirements”):
be a registered user of Gauth;
be 18 years old or over the age of majority in your jurisdiction of residence; and
be capable of entering into a legally binding agreement.
We reserve the right to add to and/or modify the Eligibility Requirements at our reasonable discretion. We also reserve the right to refuse requests to subscribe to Premium Services.
If you subscribe to our auto-renewed subscription plan, your subscription fee will automatically renew for an additional period equal in duration to your preceding subscription term, as permitted by applicable law, and your payment will automatically be charged at the start of each new subscription period for the fees applicable to that period, unless you cancel or change your subscription to the Premium Services before the end of the applicable subscription period.
You can manage your subscriptions in Privacy and Settings > Premium Services, where you can review your current and expired subscriptions and cancel auto-renewed subscriptions. If you select an auto-renewed subscription plan, you may cancel the subscription any time before the end of the current subscription period and the cancellation will take effect on the first day of the next subscription period. You will retain your access to the benefits from the time you cancel until the start of the next subscription period. You will not receive a refund or credit for any remaining days in your current subscription period (unless required by applicable law, including in the context of you exercising your right to cancel or withdraw from the contract between us and you).
You need to purchase Premium Services with payment methods provided by a third party platform, which may include App Store and Google Play. You agree to abide by any relevant Terms of Service and any other legal agreement that govern your payment through the aforesaid third-party platform. If you choose the auto-renewed subscription plan, you agree that we will charge you on the first day of each subscription period via the given payment method. If for any reason, a payment cannot be processed using your provided payment method, we may terminate your subscription.
If you purchase Premium Services through the Apple app store, Google Play or other third-party platform (as applicable), your refund request (if any) shall be subject to the terms and conditions of such third-party platform. You will continue to have access to Premium Services until your payment is refunded.
We reserve the right to modify these payment terms, including subscription fees, at our sole discretion, as permitted by applicable law.
You are responsible for any mobile charges that apply to your use of the Services, including text messaging and data charges. If you're unsure what those charges are, you should ask your mobile service provider before using the Services. If you purchased your subscription through a third-party platform, price changes may be treated differently. Please review the relevant terms and conditions of such corresponding third-party platform for further information.
Modifying and Terminating Our Services
We reserve the right, from time to time in our sole discretion, to make changes to or discontinue any of the Services at any time. We will provide reasonable advance notice, such as through a notice on our app and website of any significant changes to our Services , or if the Service will be discontinued, whenever we reasonably can.
Any description of the Services provided by us, our service providers and business partners, such as TT Commerce & Global Services, or our affiliates is not a representation that the Services are working or will always work in that manner, as we are continuously updating the Services, and these updates may not always be reflected in the Terms.
Third-Party Integrations
The Services may contain links to websites and content owned and/or operated by third parties. TikTok USDS Joint Venture and our service providers and business partners, such as TT Commerce & Global Services, and our affiliates do not control your use of such third-party integrations. TikTok USDS Joint Venture and our service providers and business partners, such as TT Commerce & Global Services, and our affiliates do not warrant the performance, availability, safety or reliability of any such third-party integrations and are not responsible for the applicable third-party provider’s performance or failure to perform in any respect. Your access and use of such third-party integrations is solely at your own risk and is subject to the terms and conditions of use and privacy policy(ies) applicable to such third party.
Appropriate Services Usage
Our Services are designed as a study aid to complement your educational journey. While Gauth strives to provide helpful computational tools and information across a variety of subjects, it's important to understand the scope and intended use of our Services.
Study Aid, Not a Substitute: The Services are available to support your learning process, offering an additional resource alongside traditional study materials such as textbooks and lectures. The Services are not intended to replace these fundamental resources. You agree to use the Services as a supplement to, not a substitute for, the primary materials required for your studies.
Academic Integrity: By using the Services, you commit to upholding the highest standards of academic integrity. This means the Services should not be used in a manner that violates anti-cheating rules, including but not limited to, using the Services to complete exams, quizzes, or assignments when such actions are prohibited by your academic institution. The Services are designed to aid your understanding and knowledge expansion, not to circumvent the learning process.
Accuracy and Quality of Information: While we endeavor to ensure the accuracy and reliability of information provided through the Services, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, TikTok USDS Joint Venture and our service providers and business partners, such as TT Commerce & Global Services, and our affiliates cannot guarantee the precision or quality of the content. Educational topics are vast and complex, and discrepancies may arise. Our content should, therefore, be used as a guide rather than an authoritative source. You acknowledge that there may be differences in the information provided by the Services and the solutions or methodologies preferred by academic institutions or found in your course materials.
Continuous Improvement and Feedback: We are committed to improving Gauth and value your feedback, including without limitation, suggested changes to the Services, new features or functionality relating thereto, or any comments, questions, suggestions or the like ("Feedback"). Should you find any inaccuracies or wish to provide such Feedback to us, please contact us by e-mail. Your insights are crucial in helping us refine and enhance our Services. You agree that TikTok USDS Joint Venture owns all right, title and interest in and to any such Feedback. We are free to use, without any attribution or compensation to you or any party, the Feedback, and all intellectual property rights contained therein, for any purpose whatsoever, although TikTok USDS Joint Venture and our service providers and business partners, such as TT Commerce & Global Services, and our affiliates do not have an obligation to use any Feedback.
Our Relationship with Tutors
Gauth may engage tutors as independent contractors to enable us to provide you with the Services. By using the Services, you acknowledge and agree that the tutors have no relationship or obligation to you, and you have no recourse against them in connection with the Services. Your sole recourse in connection with the Services is against TikTok USDS Joint Venture, as set out in, and subject to, the provisions of these Terms.
Should you have concerns or wish to report any information or materials provided by, or conduct of, a tutor, please reach out to us directly at support@gauth-us.com. We value your feedback and are committed to maintaining a high standard of quality and safety in the educational resources and interactions facilitated by our platform.
Indemnity
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless TikTok USDS Joint Venture and our affiliates, service providers, and business partners, including TT Commerce & Global Services, and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents and advisors from any and all claims, demands, damages, injunctions, orders, awards, settlements, losses, liabilities, liens, encumbrances, causes of action, of every kind and character, costs (including attorneys’ fees and other costs of arbitration, litigation, defense, or settlement), and expenses arising out of or relating to your use of the Services under these Terms, including a breach of your obligations, representations and warranties under these Terms. This provision and your indemnification obligations will survive any termination of your relationship with Gauth and the expiration or termination of these Terms, by either party.
Limitations of Liability
The Services are provided “as is.” We and our affiliates make no guarantees that the Services, including their generative AI-enabled features, will be safe, secure, and free from errors, or that they will function without interruption, delay or defect. To be clear, when we use the terms “TikTok USDS Joint Venture,” “we” or “us” in this Limitation of Liability Section, we mean TikTok USDS Joint Venture, TT Commerce & Global Services, each of their parents, subsidiaries, and affiliates, and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents and advisors.
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law:
WE and TT COMMERCE & GLOBAL SERVICES, ALONG WITH EACH’S AFFILIATES, AND EACH OF THEIR RESPECTIVE OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, AND ADVISORS, DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, VALIDITY, REGISTRABILITY, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ANY WARRANTIES ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING OR COURSE OF PERFORMANCE. Users and others are solely responsible for their content and use of the Services. We are not responsible for users’ and others’ actions or conduct (whether on or off the Services) and we do not guarantee the accuracy, integrity, appropriateness, or quality, of any content that users and others share on the Services (including offensive, inappropriate, obscene, unlawful, and other objectionable content). You acknowledge that we have no obligation to pre-screen, monitor, review, or edit any content posted by you or other users on the Services.
In addition to the limitation above, to the maximum extent permitted by law: WE and TT COMMERCE & GLOBAL SERVICES, ALONG WITH EACH’S AFFILIATES, AND EACH OF THEIR RESPECTIVE OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, AND ADVISORS, MAKE NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WITH RESPECT TO YOUR USE OF OUR GENERATIVE AI-ENABLED FEATURES AND OUTPUT. Your use of output, and of our generative AI-enabled features, is at your own risk, and to the maximum extent permitted by law, you bear all consequences of your use of output. TikTok USDS Joint Venture does not endorse any content included in any output, and the output does not reflect our views, or those of our affiliates, service providers, or business partners, including TT Commerce & Global Services, and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents or advisors or personnel. You are responsible for reviewing, verifying, and deciding how to use output, and you should not rely on any output as a source of truth or fact, as a substitute for professional advice, or to inform decisions related to e.g., health, finance, or law. Due to the inherent limitations of generative AI, the output you generate may be inaccurate, incomplete, misleading, objectionable, inappropriate, unlawful, and unfit for a particular purpose, and by using the Services, including its generative AI-enabled features, you recognize and assume this risk.
EXCEPT AS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW, WE SHALL NOT BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR ANY LOSS OR DAMAGE WHICH MAY BE INCURRED BY YOU AS A RESULT OF:

ANY RELIANCE PLACED BY YOU ON THE COMPLETENESS, ACCURACY OR EXISTENCE OF ANY ADVERTISING, OR AS A RESULT OF ANY RELATIONSHIP OR TRANSACTION BETWEEN YOU AND ANY ADVERTISER OR SPONSOR WHOSE ADVERTISING APPEARS ON THE SERVICES,
ANY CHANGES WHICH WE MAY MAKE TO THE SERVICES, OR FOR ANY PERMANENT OR TEMPORARY INTERRUPTION OR CESSATION IN THE PROVISION OF THE SERVICES (OR ANY FEATURES WITHIN THE SERVICES),
YOUR FAILURE TO KEEP YOUR PASSWORD OR ACCOUNT DETAILS SECURE AND CONFIDENTIAL,
ERRORS, MISTAKES, OR INACCURACIES ON THE SERVICES, INCLUDING WITH RESPECT TO OUTPUT THAT IS INACCURATE, INCOMPLETE, MISLEADING, OBJECTIONABLE, INAPPROPRIATE, UNLAWFUL, OR UNFIT FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE,
PERSONAL INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE RESULTING FROM YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES,
ANY ACTIONS TAKEN OR NOT TAKEN IN RELIANCE ON OUTPUT,
ANY UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS TO OR USE OF THE SERVICES,
ANY VIRUSES OR MALICIOUS CODE TRANSMITTED TO OR THROUGH THE SERVICES BY ANY THIRD PARTY,
ANY CONTENT WHETHER SUBMITTED BY A USER OR GAUTH, INCLUDING YOUR USE OF CONTENT, AND/OR
THE REMOVAL OR UNAVAILABILITY OF ANY CONTENT, INCLUDING DUE TO ENFORCEMENT OF OUR RULES OR COMPLIANCE WITH COURT ORDERS.

Our liability and that of our affiliates and business partners shall be limited to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. Under no circumstance will TikTok USDS Joint Venture or our affiliates, service providers, and business partners, including TT Commerce & Global Services, and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents and advisors, and each of our their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, and advisors, be liable under these Terms, whether in an action in tort (including negligence) or contract or otherwise for any punitive, consequential, incidental, exemplary or special damages, or any damages that were not reasonably foreseeable at the time that these Terms were entered into by the parties, or any damages based on lost profits (whether incurred directly or indirectly), loss of reputation or diminution in value, loss of goodwill, loss of opportunity, loss of anticipated savings, loss or corruption of data suffered by you, or indirect or consequential losses which may be incurred by you, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the maximum aggregate liability of TikTok USDS Joint Venture and our affiliates, service providers, and business partners, including TT Commerce & Global Services, and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents and advisors, and each of our respective officers, directors, employees, agents, and advisors, arising out of or relating to these Terms or your use of the Services shall, under no circumstance, exceed the greater of $100 or the amount you have paid us in the past 12 months.
Reporting Intellectual Property Violations
We respect the intellectual property rights of others and take the protection of copyrights and other intellectual property seriously. Only the intellectual property rights owner or person authorized to act on behalf of the owner can report potentially infringing content. If you believe your work has been infringed through the Services, please notify us at support@gauth-us.com with appropriate information and materials. Your contact information will only be used to investigate your inquiry regarding potential copyright and other infringement.
Privacy Policy
Please refer to our Privacy Policy (https://www.gauth.com/policy) for information on how we collect, process and disclose your personal information.
Changes
We may make changes to these Terms from time to time. Unless otherwise required by law, we will notify you of any material changes to these Terms and give you an opportunity to review them before they apply to you. Where we need to make urgent changes, for example, for security, safety, legal or regulatory reasons, we may not be able to provide you with advance notice, but we will let you know as soon as we are reasonably able to do so.
You agree to regularly review the Terms to stay informed of the latest changes, and to review the Terms whenever you receive a notice from us that the Terms have been updated. The “Last Updated” date will reflect the effective date of the Terms. If you continue to use the Services after any updated Terms are in effect, you agree to be bound by the updated Terms. Such Terms supersede all prior versions of the Terms unless a particular provision of the updated Terms states otherwise.
You should print off or save a local copy of these Terms for your records.
Our Approach to Content Moderation
We review content uploaded by our users proactively (through systems we have in place which detect illegal and harmful content, including content which may be in violation of these Terms) and reactively (for example, on receipt of notice from users or authorities). To do this, we deploy automated moderation technology to identify content that violates our Terms. This technology looks at a variety of signals across content, which may include, for example, keywords or images to detect potential violations.
We may prevent the creation of certain content, restrict the visibility or use of content, or otherwise remove or restrict access to content if we reasonably believe (i) it is in breach of these Terms, or (ii) it causes harm to us, affiliates, our users or other third parties. In case of severe or repeated violations, we might also take account-level action, including suspending your access to certain features or temporarily or permanently banning your account.
If you think we have made a mistake in removing or restricting your content or restricting or suspending your account, you can e-mail us.
Assignment
We may assign or delegate these Terms, in whole or in part, to any person or entity at any time without your consent. You may not assign or delegate any rights or obligations under these Terms without our prior written consent, and any unauthorized assignment and/or delegation by you is ineffective.
No Waiver
Our failure to enforce any provision of these Terms will not be construed as a waiver of any provision or right. If any portion of these Terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable, then that provision will be removed from these Terms to the minimum extent required to make it enforceable and the remaining provisions will continue to have full force and effect. It will not be considered a waiver of any provision or right if we or you fail to insist upon or enforce any of these Terms. In these Terms, “include” or “including” means “including but not limited to.”
Third-Party Rights
Our affiliates, service providers, and business partners, including TT Commerce & Global Services, can invoke our rights under these Terms in the event they become involved in a dispute; otherwise these Terms do not confer any rights to third parties.
Contact
If you have any questions or concerns regarding the Services, please contact us via e-mail at support@gauth-us.com.
Exports
You agree that you will not export or re-export, directly or indirectly the Services and/or other information or materials provided by us hereunder, to any country for which any relevant jurisdiction requires any export license or other governmental approval at the time of export without first obtaining such license or approval. In particular, but without limitation, the Services may not be exported or re-exported (a) into any U.S. comprehensively embargoed countries or any country that has been designated by the U.S. Government as a "terrorist supporting" country (currently: Cuba, Crimea, Iran, North Korea, Syria), (b) to any governments of such countries, or (c) to anyone listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties, including the U.S. Treasury Department's list of Specially Designated Nationals or the U.S. Department of Commerce Denied Person’s List or Entity List.
Resolving Disputes
Informal Resolution Process First: If we have a dispute with you relating to or arising out of these Terms or the Services, regardless of when the dispute may have arisen or accrued, we will first try and resolve it with you amicably. You agree to do the same for us.
The party raising a dispute will initiate this process by notifying the other party. Whichever party receives the notice will have 60 days to respond. If the dispute has not been resolved after the response time has expired, or within 30 days after a response has been issued, whichever is earlier, either party may file legal action against the other. Engaging in this informal dispute resolution process is a requirement that must be completed before filing any legal action. You, TikTok USDS Joint Venture, and TT Commerce & Global Services agree that you will make a good faith effort to resolve the dispute amicably before either you, TikTok USDS Joint Venture, or TT Commerce & Global Services, along with each’s affiliates, and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, and advisors, files any legal action against the other, and that the statute of limitations and any filing fee deadlines shall be tolled while the parties engage in the informal dispute resolution process.
Exclusive Venue: These Terms, and any claims, causes of action, of any kind or character, or demand arising out of or relating to them will be governed by the laws of the State of California. Any claim, cause of action or dispute, arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Services shall also be resolved exclusively in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California or the Superior Court of the State of California, County of Los Angeles. You also agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of either of these courts for the purpose of litigating any such claim.
One-year Limitation Period / Limitation on Legal Action: YOU AND TIKTOK US JOINT VENTURE AGREE THAT YOU MUST INITIATE ANY PROCEEDING OR ACTION WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR OF THE DATE OF THE OCCURRENCE OF THE EVENT OR FACTS GIVING RISE TO A DISPUTE THAT IS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICES. OTHERWISE, YOU FOREVER WAIVE THE RIGHT TO PURSUE ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION, OF ANY KIND OR CHARACTER, BASED ON SUCH EVENTS OR FACTS, AND SUCH CLAIM(S) OR CAUSE(S) OF ACTION ARE PERMANENTLY BARRED.
