Summary
Policy restructured to explicitly list specific loss categories (inventory removal, guarantee programs, financial obligations, account losses) that justify fund withholding—clarification of existing enforcement authority, not new requirements.
Why it matters
Sellers should understand what types of losses TikTok offsets during fund withholding. Restructured list improves transparency but does not expand withholding authority beyond what was already established in the base policy.
Recommended action
Review the itemized withholding categories to understand what deductions may apply. No policy behavior change required, but document the specific loss types for accounting clarity.
Outstanding financial obligations including negative balances, fees, chargebacks, refunds, and undelivered items
Any other losses associated with the seller's account
