“Our aggregate liability arising out of or relating to any access or use of the Meta Products...will not exceed the greater of one hundred dollars ($100) or the amount you have paid us in the past twelve months.”
“If you do not wish to be bound by this provision (including its waiver of class and representative claims), you must notify us as set forth below within 30 days of the first acceptance date of any version of these Commercial Terms...”
“you represent and warrant that you have the authority to bind that third party to such terms.”
“you may not send to us, or use Meta Products to collect from people, information that: (i) you know or reasonably should know is from or about children under the age of 13...”
“THE PARTIES AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING COMMERCIAL CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, REPRESENTATIVE, OR PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL PROCEEDING.”
“if you are located in a country that is subject to embargo under the laws of the United States (or under similar laws applicable to you) you may not engage in commercial activities on the Meta Products unless authorized by applicable laws.”
These terms govern commercial use of Meta's products and set out what both you and Meta can and cannot do. If you post content, Meta gets a license to it; if someone sues Meta over your actions or content, you have to cover Meta's costs. Your ability to sue Meta is tightly limited—claims must go through individual arbitration rather than court, and Meta's total financial liability to you is capped at $100 or what you paid Meta in the last year, whichever is more.
The Meta Commercial Terms establish the substantive conditions under which users and businesses access and use Meta Products for commercial purposes. Key obligations include: users must grant Meta a license to IP-protected content shared on or in connection with Meta Products; users are prohibited from collecting or transmitting sensitive data categories—including health, financial, biometric, and legally-defined sensitive information—or data from children under 13; users must indemnify Meta against third-party claims arising from their services, actions, content, or information on Meta Products; and users acting on behalf of third parties bear direct responsibility for ensuring those third parties comply with applicable Meta terms. Meta limits its aggregate liability to the greater of $100 or amounts paid by the user in the prior twelve months, requires mutual release of claims connected to third-party disputes, and mandates individual arbitration of commercial claims with a class and representative action waiver, subject to a 30-day opt-out window from first acceptance.
As a user under these terms, you grant Meta a license to any IP-protected content you share on Meta Products, you are personally responsible for indemnifying Meta if third parties bring claims related to your content or conduct, and you release Meta from claims connected to any disputes you have with third parties. Meta's financial liability to you is capped at the greater of $100 or twelve months of your payments to Meta. You are bound by mandatory individual arbitration for commercial claims and cannot join class or representative actions against Meta. One concrete action available to you: if you do not wish to be bound by the arbitration provision and class-action waiver, you must notify Meta within 30 days of first accepting any version of the Commercial Terms.
