You must be at least 18 years old to use MetaMask; by using the service you confirm that you meet this requirement.
Minors who use MetaMask are doing so in violation of the Terms of Use, and the company accepts no responsibility for any harm to underage users.
Age restriction provisions should be assessed for compliance with COPPA (for users under 13) and state-level minor protection statutes; the absence of robust age verification mechanisms may present regulatory risk.

MetaMask users bear full responsibility for safeguarding their private keys and seed phrases, with no recovery option if these are lost — meaning lost funds are permanently unrecoverable. The terms include mandatory arbitration and a class action waiver, which significantly limits users' ability to pursue legal remedies collectively. You can opt out of the arbitration clause by sending written notice to Consensys within 30 days of first agreeing to the Terms.
