This provision extends the release and assumption of risk to bodily injury, wrongful death, and loss of privacy claims, and purports to bind not only the user but also their heirs and personal representatives. The enforceability of such broad releases in consumer contracts for product liability or personal injury claims varies significantly by jurisdiction.
Interpretive note: Enforceability of pre-injury liability releases covering bodily injury, wrongful death, and privacy harms in consumer contracts is highly jurisdiction-dependent and may be significantly limited or voided under applicable consumer protection and tort law.
The updated terms require all disputes to be resolved through binding individual arbitration rather than court litigation or class actions. The agreement explicitly states that users are giving up the right to sue in court, participate in class actions, and have access to a judge or jury, with arbitration discovery and appeal rights being more limited than court proceedings. Users have a limited-time right to opt out of this requirement, which is detailed in Section 18 of the Dispute Resolution terms. You can review Section 18 to determine whether to exercise the opt-out right, but continued use of Eufy's Services after the opt-out deadline will constitute acceptance of mandatory arbitration.

"You knowingly and freely assume all risk when using Anker's Services. You, on behalf of yourself, your personal representatives, and your heirs, voluntarily agree to release, waive, discharge, hold harmless, defend, and indemnify Anker and its owners, officers, directors, employees, agents, affiliates, consultants, representatives, sublicensees, successors, assigns, parents, subsidiaries, and related entities(collectively, the 'Anker Companies', as listed at the end of this Agreement) from any and all claims, actions, or losses for bodily injury, property damage, wrongful death, emotional distress, loss of privacy, or other damages or harm, whether to you or third parties, that may result from your use of Anker's Services.Excerpt from Eufy's Terms of Service
1. REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: Pre-injury liability waivers for personal injury and wrongful death in consumer contracts are subject to significant restrictions under consumer protection and tort law in many jurisdictions, including EU member states, the UK, California, and other US states. EU product liability law and the proposed revised EU Product Liability Directive may limit contractual waivers of product liability claims. The FTC Act may be relevant where such waivers are presented as enforceable in consumer-facing standard form contracts without adequate qualification. 2. GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Medium. The explicit inclusion of bodily injury, wrongful death, and loss of privacy in the release is broader than typical consumer software or digital service terms and may reflect the physical product and IoT device context of Anker's business. The release's purported extension to heirs and personal representatives is notably broad. Many jurisdictions render pre-injury waivers of gross negligence or product liability claims unenforceable regardless of contractual terms. 3. JURISDICTION FLAGS: California Civil Code and consumer protection law impose significant restrictions on pre-injury liability waivers in consumer contracts. EU product liability directives protect consumers against contractual exclusion of product liability claims. UK law similarly restricts exclusion of liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence. The inclusion of 'loss of privacy' in the release is particularly notable given GDPR and state privacy law protections that cannot be waived by contract. 4. CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Enterprise buyers should note that this release purports to cover product liability and privacy harms arising from use of Anker devices and services, which may conflict with enterprise risk management requirements and indemnification structures in B2B contracts. 5. COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Legal teams should assess whether the scope of this release provision is consistent with mandatory consumer protection standards in all jurisdictions where Anker operates. The loss of privacy release component should be specifically reviewed against GDPR, UK GDPR, and US state privacy law, which may establish non-waivable rights. The document includes a 10.4 acknowledgment that some disclaimers may not apply in certain jurisdictions, which provides partial mitigation.
