Meta Commercial Terms

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.
