This provision asserts the broadest liability exclusion permitted by applicable law, covering all damage categories including lost data and revenue, and disclaims responsibility for third-party content. The repeated qualifier to the extent permitted by law indicates awareness that consumer protection laws in some jurisdictions may limit the enforceability of these disclaimers.
Interpretive note: The enforceability of the warranty disclaimers and consequential damages exclusions varies significantly by jurisdiction, particularly in EU, UK, and Australian consumer contexts where mandatory statutory protections may limit or override these provisions.
The updated terms establish several operational changes affecting how disputes are handled and how the Terms themselves can be modified. For consumers, the revised dispute resolution language states that consumer claims will be resolved under the laws of the consumer's own country in courts located in that country, rather than exclusively in California courts. Meta reserves the right to pursue claims against consumers in California courts. For users employing automated data collection, the updated terms require compliance with separate Automated Data Collection Terms and explicitly state that Meta may restrict or revoke permission at any time. The Terms now require Meta to provide at least 30 days' advance notice before making changes, except when changes are required by law.
View change record →The updated terms establish a jurisdictional change for consumers. Previously, all disputes had to be resolved in California courts; now, if you are a consumer or if your country requires it, disputes must be resolved in courts within your home country under your home country's laws. For Meta's own claims against you, the agreement still requires disputes to proceed exclusively in California courts. The revised terms also now require Meta to notify you at least 30 days in advance before making changes to these Terms, and you will have the opportunity to review them before they take effect, unless changes are required by law.
View change record →Downgraded severity from 'high' to 'medium' and reframed from specific liability caps to broader 'as-is' disclaimers and warranty disclaimers in all caps.
View full change record →Under this clause, Meta asserts no liability for lost profits, data, revenues, or any consequential or indirect damages arising from use of its products, and disclaims all warranties including implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for purpose. The agreement qualifies these exclusions with to the extent permissible by law and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, acknowledging that applicable law may limit or override these disclaimers in specific jurisdictions.
