Why it matters

If your use of Figma — such as uploading copyrighted material or client data without authorization — results in a lawsuit against Figma, you are personally responsible for covering Figma's legal defense costs and any resulting damages.

Consumer impact

Figma's ToS grants the company a broad license to use your uploaded design content, including for improving AI and machine learning features, which means your creative work may be used beyond what you intended when sharing it on the platform. US-based users lose the right to participate in class action lawsuits against Figma and must resolve disputes through individual binding arbitration, significantly limiting legal recourse. You can review and adjust your team or organization's content sharing settings within Figma's account dashboard, and EU/UK users should request a Data Processing Agreement from Figma to ensure GDPR-compliant handling of personal data.

Applicable agencies

  • FTC
    The FTC can assess whether one-sided indemnification clauses that expose consumers to unlimited financial liability for platform risks constitute unfair or deceptive practices.
