Summary

This document serves as a directory of Max's Terms of Use, organized by country and language, with links to region-specific versions rather than containing the full terms themselves. The document establishes that the operative terms governing subscription, usage rights, and data practices are maintained in separate regional documents accessible through country and language selection on this page. Users access the terms applicable to their jurisdiction by selecting their country and preferred language from the provided list.

Technical / Legal Breakdown

This document is a global hub index page for Max (HBO Max) Terms of Use, published at hbomax.com/terms-of-use, which serves as a navigation directory rather than a substantive terms document itself; it provides links to regionally and linguistically specific terms of use covering North America, Latin America and the Caribbean, Europe, Asia Pacific, and the Middle East and Africa. The page does not itself assert legal obligations or user rights but rather directs users to the applicable jurisdiction-specific terms, implying that the governing terms vary materially by country and language. Because the actual substantive provisions (arbitration clauses, data practices, liability limitations, subscription terms) are contained in the linked regional documents rather than this hub page, no specific contractual obligations, data rights, or user commitments can be assessed from this document alone. Regulatory frameworks such as GDPR (for EU/EEA users), CCPA (for California residents), and various national consumer protection regimes are likely engaged by the regional terms, but this hub page provides no direct disclosure or commitment on those matters. Compliance teams reviewing Max's terms for a specific jurisdiction should navigate to the applicable regional document, as this index page alone is insufficient for substantive legal or compliance analysis.
