What it is

Consensys may modify any part of the Agreement at any time at its sole discretion; continued use of the Offerings following posted changes constitutes acceptance of the modified terms, regardless of whether the user has reviewed the changes.

ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

This provision establishes that Agreement modifications take effect through continued use, without requiring affirmative re-consent from users, which may interact with consumer protection requirements in EU/EEA and UK jurisdictions that require meaningful consent to material contract changes.

Interpretive note: Enforceability of deemed acceptance through continued use for material contract changes may vary by jurisdiction, particularly in EU/EEA and UK consumer contexts where affirmative consent to material modifications may be required.

Recent Activity

This document changed recently

Medium Jul 1, 2026

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.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

Under this clause, the terms governing MetaMask and Consensys Offerings may be modified at any time, with changes taking effect upon posting; continued use of the Offerings after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the new terms. The Agreement states Consensys will use commercially reasonable efforts to communicate material changes but places the responsibility to check for changes on users.

What you can do

⚠️ These actions may provide transparency or partial mitigation but may not fully address the underlying issue. Effectiveness varies by jurisdiction and individual circumstances.
  • Close Your Account
    If you do not agree to modified Agreement terms, you must cease use of the Offerings before the changes take effect, as continued use constitutes acceptance under Section 2.2. For Paid Plan users, follow the termination procedures in Section 6.2.

(1) REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: Unilateral modification clauses in consumer contracts engage EU Directive 93/13/EEC on unfair contract terms, which scrutinizes clauses that allow one party to alter contract terms without adequate notice and consumer consent.
