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.
