What it is

The policy places full legal compliance responsibility on the account holder for all applicable federal, state, local, and international laws governing their use of the platform, including privacy, data protection, intellectual property, consumer protection, and commercial communications statutes.

This analysis describes what Klaviyo's agreement states, permits, or reserves. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Regulatory applicability and practical outcomes may vary by jurisdiction, enforcement context, and individual circumstances. Read our methodology

ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

This provision establishes that Klaviyo does not assume compliance responsibility on behalf of users, and that account holders bear sole legal responsibility for ensuring their campaigns and data practices satisfy all applicable regulatory requirements. This includes jurisdiction-specific obligations that may vary by recipient location.

Interpretive note: The provision does not specify which jurisdictions' laws take precedence where conflicts exist, and the scope of 'international laws' creates compliance uncertainty for businesses with global recipient bases.
