Key Governance Provisions
High EEA/UK data transfers require valid legal mechanism

This commitment conditions cross-border data transfers on the existence of a legally valid transfer mechanism, providing a compliance baseline for EEA, UK, and Swiss residents.

High Prohibition on Hate Violence and CSAM Content

Users who create or display prohibited NFT content are in breach of the Terms, which may expose them to account action under OpenSea's account control provisions.

High Service prohibited for users under age 13 or 16 EEA/UK

The protection is qualified by intent — inadvertent collection from underage users is not explicitly prohibited — and the age threshold differs by jurisdiction.

High Data retained beyond deletion request for legal compliance

A user's deletion request does not guarantee data removal; OpenSea retains discretion to keep data under several broad but qualified grounds.

High Account Termination Without Notice or Refund

Users have no guaranteed continuity of account access, no right to prior notice, and no stated entitlement to a refund, leaving accounts vulnerable to removal under any circumstance.
