Summary

The text provided is the navigation shell and footer of the Max (WarnerMedia Direct, LLC) website, not the full Terms of Use. It references links to a Terms of Use, Privacy Policy, Children's Privacy Policy, and a Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information page, but does not reproduce the content of any of these documents. The only operationally notable disclosure is the presence of a Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information link, which indicates Max offers a CCPA/CPRA opt-out mechanism for California residents.

Technical / Legal Breakdown

The document provided does not contain substantive terms of service language; it consists of a regional language/locale navigation menu, footer links referencing a Privacy Policy, Children's Privacy Policy, Terms of Use, and a Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information page, along with a copyright notice attributing the service to WarnerMedia Direct, LLC under the HBO Max license. No operative contractual provisions, user obligations, data processing terms, dispute resolution clauses, or subscription terms are present in the supplied text. The footer discloses the existence of a separate Terms of Use, Privacy Policy, Children's Privacy Policy, and a CCPA-aligned Do Not Sell or Share opt-out mechanism, but none of these documents are reproduced in full in the supplied text. The presence of a Children's Privacy Policy and a Do Not Sell or Share link suggests engagement with COPPA and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) as amended by the CPRA, though the operative provisions of those frameworks cannot be assessed from the navigation and footer content alone. Compliance professionals should note that the substantive document required for analysis was not included in the provided text and that the links and policy titles referenced would need to be retrieved and analyzed separately.
