Netflix makes no guarantees about the quality or availability of its service, and you give up the right to claim indirect or consequential losses from Netflix, except where local law prevents such waivers.
This analysis describes what Netflix'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
The warranty disclaimer and damages limitation establish the service availability standards Netflix commits to and define the scope of liability exposure in the agreement. This provision operationalizes the allocation of risk between Netflix and users by limiting the types and amounts of damages recoverable in disputes.
Interpretive note: The enforceability of the warranty disclaimer and consequential damages waiver depends on applicable mandatory consumer protection law in each jurisdiction, which the clause expressly preserves but does not specify.
Under these terms, users waive claims for special, indirect, and consequential damages against Netflix (such as losses resulting from service outages or content unavailability), though statutory consumer protection rights under applicable local law are preserved.

"The Netflix service is provided "as is" and without warranty or condition. In particular, our service may not be uninterrupted or error-free. You waive all special, indirect and consequential damages against us. These terms will not limit any non-waivable warranties or consumer protection rights that you may be entitled to under the mandatory laws of your country of residence.— Excerpt from Netflix's Netflix Account and Content Policies
REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: Warranty disclaimers and consequential damage waivers in consumer contracts engage consumer protection frameworks in multiple jurisdictions. In the EU, the Consumer Sales Directive and related frameworks impose implied warranty obligations that cannot be disclaimed by contract. In Australia, the Australian Consumer Law provides consumer guarantees for services that cannot be excluded. The clause's preservation of 'non-waivable warranties or consumer protection rights' under mandatory local law acknowledges but does not resolve jurisdiction-specific unenforceability. GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Medium. As-is disclaimers and consequential damage exclusions are standard provisions in technology service agreements. The primary compliance consideration is ensuring that the mandatory law carve-out is operationally implemented, meaning users in jurisdictions with non-waivable rights are not incorrectly denied remedies based on the disclaimer language. JURISDICTION FLAGS: EU/EEA users retain implied warranty rights under consumer sales law that the disclaimer cannot override. Australian consumers have non-excludable guarantees under the Australian Consumer Law. Singapore consumers have rights under the Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act. The disclaimer's practical effect varies significantly by jurisdiction. CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: The as-is disclaimer is standard in consumer streaming service agreements. For enterprise or B2B procurement involving Netflix services, the disclaimer applies to the account-level terms and may need to be assessed alongside any separate enterprise agreements. COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Compliance teams should verify that customer support and dispute resolution processes recognize and apply jurisdiction-specific warranty and remedy rights that override the disclaimer, particularly for EU, Australian, and other consumers with statutory guarantees. Consumer-facing communications should not represent the disclaimer as an absolute bar to all remedies in jurisdictions where it is unenforceable.
