Any legal disputes about MetaMask's terms are governed by Delaware law — regardless of where you actually live.
This analysis describes what MetaMask's agreement states, permits, or reserves. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Regulatory applicability and practical outcomes may vary by jurisdiction, enforcement context, and individual circumstances. Read our methodology
The governing law designation establishes which jurisdiction's statutory and case law interprets the agreement's provisions, affects dispute procedures, and determines available remedies. This selection impacts how courts or arbitrators apply contractual obligations and user protections under state and federal law.
Your legal rights in any dispute with MetaMask are determined by Delaware law, not the law of your home state or country — this may reduce the consumer protections available to you, particularly if you are in the EU, UK, or a state with strong consumer protection laws like California.

"These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware and the applicable federal laws of the United States of America, without regard to its conflict of law provisions.— Excerpt from MetaMask's MetaMask Terms of Use
REGULATORY FRAMEWORK: Choice of law provisions in consumer contracts engage general conflict of laws principles and are subject to mandatory application of consumer protection laws in certain jurisdictions. EU Rome I Regulation (EC 593/2008) Art. 6 mandates that consumer contracts cannot deprive EU consumers of protections afforded by their habitual residence's mandatory laws, regardless of governing law clauses. UK retained EU law applies analogous protections. California choice of law analysis under Nedlloyd Lines B.V. v. Superior Court (3 Cal. 4th 459) requires a substantial relationship test and assessment of whether the chosen forum's law conflicts with fundamental California policy.
