What it is

Hulu is not responsible for any ads you see on its platform or any transactions or data you share through those ads — any problems with advertisers are between you and the advertiser.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

This provision means consumers who are harmed by deceptive or fraudulent advertisers on Hulu — including those who share personal data through interactive ads — cannot hold Hulu legally responsible for those harms.

Why it matters (compliance & risk perspective)

If an advertiser on Hulu collects your personal information or defrauds you through an interactive ad, Hulu has contractually disclaimed all responsibility — leaving you without recourse against the platform that served you the ad.

View original clause language
We take no responsibility for and do not endorse any third-party advertisements or any third-party material posted where the Services are available, nor do we take any responsibility for the products or services provided by advertisers. Any dealings you have with advertisers while using the Services, including through engaging with interactive advertisements, are between you and the advertiser, and you agree that we are not liable for any loss or claim that you may have against an advertiser. If you provide any confidential or personal information or engage in any transaction through an advertisement, we are not responsible for such information or transaction.

Institutional analysis (Compliance & legal intelligence)

REGULATORY FRAMEWORK: FTC Act Section 5 may limit the effectiveness of this disclaimer if Hulu's ad-serving practices constitute unfair or deceptive conduct by enabling fraud. FTC guidance on endorsements and testimonials (16 C.F.R. Part 255) requires that material connections between platforms and advertisers be disclosed. CAN-SPAM Act (15 U.S.C. § 7701) and CCPA apply to data collection practices through interactive advertisements. The Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA, 15 U.S.C. § 6501) may apply if interactive ads collect data from users under 13.
