MetaMask makes no promises about whether the wallet will work correctly, be available, or be secure — you use it entirely at your own risk.
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 disclaimer allocates risk by establishing that MetaMask makes no affirmative commitments regarding service performance, reliability, security standards, or suitability for particular uses. The provision operates to limit MetaMask's liability exposure for service defects or operational failures by negating implied warranty obligations that might otherwise exist under applicable law.
The updated terms explicitly state that UK, EU, and EEA consumers retain statutory consumer protection rights that cannot be limited or excluded by the agreement, and that applicable local law prevails in the event of conflict with these terms. This adds clarity to the legal framework but does not change substantive protections for those users. The terms also clarify that mUSD is a third-party digital asset not issued by Consensys, treating it as a third-party service subject to the agreement's limitations on Consensys' responsibility for third-party services.
