MetaMask updated its Terms of Use in June 2026, adding 59 sentences and modifying 24 others across 319 total sentences. Key changes include: explicit recognition that UK, EU, and EEA consumers retain statutory consumer protection rights that override conflicting terms; clarification that mUSD is a third-party digital asset not issued by Consensys; and terminological updates replacing 'privacy policy' with 'privacy notice' throughout. The terms now state that where local consumer protection law conflicts with the agreement, those laws prevail.

What this means for you

The updated terms explicitly state that UK, EU, and EEA consumers retain statutory consumer protection rights that cannot be limited or excluded by the agreement, and that applicable local law prevails in the event of conflict with these terms. This adds clarity to the legal framework but does not change substantive protections for those users. The terms also clarify that mUSD is a third-party digital asset not issued by Consensys, treating it as a third-party service subject to the agreement's limitations on Consensys' responsibility for third-party services.

Key Clauses Affected

Statutory consumer rights carve-out

Updated terms explicitly state that UK, EU, and EEA consumers retain statutory consumer protection rights that cannot be limited or excluded, and that applicable local law prevails in conflicts with the agreement.

mUSD third-party clarification

Revised terms clarify that mUSD is issued, administered, and governed by third parties, not Consensys, and constitutes a third-party service under the agreement.
