What it is

MetaMask can change these terms at any time without your explicit consent — if you keep using the wallet after a change is posted, you're automatically agreeing to the new terms.

This analysis describes what MetaMask's agreement states, permits, or reserves. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Regulatory applicability and practical outcomes may vary by jurisdiction, enforcement context, and individual circumstances. Read our methodology

ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

This provision enables the service operator to alter contractual obligations, service scope, data practices, and dispute resolution procedures without requiring affirmative user agreement or opt-in. The operational consequence is that the governing terms governing the relationship are subject to unilateral change rather than mutual modification.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

MetaMask can change the rules governing your use of the wallet at any time, and simply continuing to use MetaMask means you've legally accepted those changes — even if you never read the updated terms.

ConductAtlas Analysis

Institutional analysis (Compliance & governance intelligence)

REGULATORY FRAMEWORK: Unilateral modification clauses in consumer contracts engage FTC Act Section 5 (deceptive and unfair practices), and are scrutinized under state UDAP statutes including California's UCL (Bus. & Prof. Code §17200) and the CLRA. EU Directive 93/13/EEC Art. 3 and the Annex's indicative list of unfair terms includes terms enabling sellers to unilaterally alter contract terms without valid reason. UK Consumer Rights Act 2015 Schedule 2 similarly identifies unilateral variation rights as potentially unfair terms.
