You agree to waive your right to participate in any class action lawsuit or class-wide arbitration against MetaMask or Consensys.
Class actions allow many consumers to pool claims against a company, which is often the only practical way to seek redress for small individual harms caused by widespread platform issues.
Class action waivers in consumer financial services contexts attract regulatory attention and may be unenforceable in certain jurisdictions; legal teams should assess state-specific exposure, particularly in California and New Jersey.

MetaMask users bear full responsibility for safeguarding their private keys and seed phrases, with no recovery option if these are lost β 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.
