Third-Party Services Disclaimer

Medium severity
Share 𝕏 Share in Share

What it is

MetaMask integrates with third-party services (such as exchanges, DeFi protocols, and NFT platforms) but is not responsible for those services' terms, reliability, or any losses you suffer from using them.

Why it matters

When you use third-party services accessed through MetaMask, you are subject to those services' own terms and MetaMask takes no responsibility for losses arising from them.

Institutional analysis (Compliance & legal intelligence)

The broad disclaimer of responsibility for third-party integrations may be insufficient under certain jurisdictions' consumer protection frameworks, particularly where MetaMask actively promotes or facilitates access to such services, creating potential facilitation liability.

Consumer impact

MetaMask users bear full responsibility for safeguarding their private keys and seed phrases, with no recovery option if these are lost β€” meaning lost funds are permanently unrecoverable. The terms include mandatory arbitration and a class action waiver, which significantly limits users' ability to pursue legal remedies collectively. You can opt out of the arbitration clause by sending written notice to Consensys within 30 days of first agreeing to the Terms.

Applicable agencies

    The FTC has authority to examine whether disclaimers of responsibility for promoted third-party services meet standards for fair dealing with consumers.
