This provision establishes that users bear all risk associated with third-party decentralized applications, tokens, and services accessed through MetaMask, and that Consensys has no liability for losses arising from misleading, erroneous, or harmful third-party content, which is operationally significant given MetaMask's role as a primary access point to decentralized finance applications.
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.

Consensys disclaims all responsibility and liability for any Losses on account of your reliance upon or use of such content or services.Excerpt from MetaMask's Terms of Use
(1) REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: The scope of this disclaimer engages consumer protection frameworks that may impose minimum liability standards on platform operators who facilitate access to third-party financial services, including the EU's Digital Services Act, MiCA, and ESMA guidelines on digital asset platforms. In the US, the FTC's unfair practices authority and state consumer protection statutes may constrain complete liability disclaimers for third-party financial product losses in certain contexts. (2) GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Medium. The disclaimer's operational scope is significant given the breadth of third-party services accessible through MetaMask, including DeFi protocols, token swaps, and staking services that carry material financial risk. The absence of any curation, verification, or endorsement commitment is disclosed explicitly. (3) JURISDICTION FLAGS: EU/EEA users under the Digital Services Act and MiCA may have additional protections regarding platform operator liability for third-party financial services. UK users under the Financial Services and Markets Act and FCA digital asset guidance may also have jurisdiction-specific protections that interact with this disclaimer. (4) CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Business accounts integrating MetaMask as a wallet interface for their own users should assess whether this upstream disclaimer is adequate for their own user-facing liability framework, or whether additional due diligence on accessible third-party services is required for their regulatory obligations. (5) COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Compliance teams should assess whether the no-curation disclosure is adequate under applicable platform liability frameworks in each operating jurisdiction, and whether the right to remove third-party services without notice creates any operational disclosure obligations to users who may be relying on those services for ongoing transactions.
