Summary

This is the global Terms of Use index page for Max (the HBO Max streaming service), which does not itself contain any rules but instead links to separate, region-specific terms depending on where you live. The most important thing to know is that your actual rights, obligations, and legal protections — including whether you can sue Max or must use arbitration — are found in the specific document linked for your country, not on this page. To find the terms that actually apply to you, click the link for your country and language from the list provided.

Technical Summary

This document is the global Terms of Use hub page for Max (HBO Max), published by Warner Bros. Discovery, which serves as a centralized index directing users to jurisdiction-specific terms of service across North America, Latin America & Caribbean, Europe, Asia Pacific, and other regions. The most significant obligation created by this document is that users must locate and review the applicable regional terms for their jurisdiction, as the substantive contractual terms — including arbitration clauses, data rights, liability limitations, and subscription terms — are contained in those linked regional documents rather than this hub page. This structure is notable in that it provides no substantive terms on its face, requiring multiple navigational steps before a user can actually review the governing contract, which may impede informed consent and could raise concerns under consumer protection frameworks requiring clear and conspicuous disclosure. The document's multi-jurisdictional structure engages GDPR (EU/EEA users), UK GDPR, CCPA/CPRA (California residents), Australia's Privacy Act 1988, and various other national consumer protection regimes; the absence of substantive terms on this page makes it materially impossible to conduct a full compliance assessment without reviewing each linked regional variant. Compliance teams should note that this hub-and-spoke architecture requires separate review of each regional terms document, and any audit of consent mechanisms, arbitration clauses, or data rights must be conducted on a jurisdiction-by-jurisdiction basis.

Consumer impact Max has officially added Bhutan, Fiji, Kiribati, Maldives, Marshall Islands, Micronesia, Nauru, Niue, Samoa, Tonga, Tuvalu, and Vanuatu to its global Terms of Use hub, meaning residents in these countries are now formally recognized as covered service regions. This is an access expansion that could signal the rollout or formalization of Max's streaming service in these areas. If you are in one of these newly listed countries, you may now be able to access Max's service under their standard terms.
Why it matters Residents in newly listed Pacific Island nations and Bhutan may now have formal access to Max's streaming service under its published terms. This expansion signals Max's intent to serve these markets officially.
