Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

Violation of these prohibitions exposes users to potential termination of access and liability under the agreement's indemnification and breach provisions.

Interpretive note: The excerpt contains additional prohibited activities beyond the two stated; the canonical claim captures the primary categories explicitly quoted. Other prohibited activities may exist in the full clause.

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.
