Users own all content they provide to Sprout Social. The terms grant Sprout Social a non-exclusive license to use, copy, and prepare derivative works for service purposes only.
“You shall have sole responsibility for the accuracy, quality, and legality of the Content and the means by which you acquired the Content.”
User bears sole responsibility for all Content accuracy, quality, legality, and acquisition method. This effectively shifts legal and compliance risk entirely to the subscriber, which is a broad indemnity-adjacent allocation.
