MetaMask is not responsible for any third-party services, apps, or DeFi protocols you access through its platform — if something goes wrong with a connected service, MetaMask has no liability.

The clause allocates responsibility for third-party integrations by establishing that MetaMask's duty of care does not extend to linked external services, limiting the scope of MetaMask's operational obligations to its own platform functionality.
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.

REGULATORY FRAMEWORK: Third-party disclaimer provisions engage FTC Act Section 5 standards for adequate disclosure of referral and integration relationships. For regulated financial institutions using MetaMask to access DeFi, the OCC's guidance on third-party risk management (OCC Bulletin 2023-17) and FDIC FIL-29-2024 require due diligence on all third-party service providers in the transaction chain. EU MiCA (Regulation (EU) 2023/1114) may impose obligations on crypto-asset service providers regarding connected third-party services. SEC no-action letter frameworks for broker-dealers linking to third-party investment platforms may also be implicated.
