MetaMask is not available in certain countries, and by using the service you are personally certifying that you are not on any government sanctions list and are not in a restricted jurisdiction.
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
This provision places the legal responsibility for OFAC and international sanctions compliance squarely on the user — a significant departure from the norm where service providers bear primary compliance obligations.
By using MetaMask, you are legally certifying that you are not subject to government sanctions and are not located in a restricted country — making false representations creates legal liability for the user, not MetaMask.

REGULATORY FRAMEWORK: OFAC regulations (31 CFR Parts 500-598) and the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA, 50 U.S.C. §1701 et seq.) govern sanctions compliance for U.S. persons and entities. FinCEN regulations under the Bank Secrecy Act (31 CFR Chapter X) impose AML and sanctions screening obligations. The EU's restrictive measures regulations (Council Regulations implementing CFSP decisions) and UK sanctions regulations (Sanctions and Anti-Money Laundering Act 2018) impose analogous obligations. OFAC is the primary enforcement authority with civil penalties up to $1.3 million per violation under IEEPA.
