📢 We are aware of tweets circulating with inaccurate information about ConsenSys' terms of service.
Let's clarify one thing upfront: MetaMask does NOT collect taxes on crypto transactions and we have not made any changes to our terms to do so.
This claim is false.
At ConsenSys, our goal is to make web3 universally easy to use, access, and build upon through our suite of products.
It's important to note that the terms referenced are not new. They apply to our products that are subject to sales tax.
The tax section in our terms of service falls under the "fees and payment" section, and it exclusively pertains to products and paid plans offered by ConsenSys. For example, Infura has credit card developer subscriptions which include sales tax.
Legal terminology can be complex, but it's crucial to emphasize that this section DOES NOT apply to MetaMask or any other products that don't involve sales tax.
We believe in transparency and accuracy when it comes to sharing information with our users.
Our commitment to combat misinformation about our products and services remains unwavering.
We encourage everyone to visit our website to learn more about our products and reach out to us if you have any questions or concerns.
We value our community's trust and appreciate your continued support. Rest assured, we will always strive to provide you with reliable and truthful information.
Thank you for being part of the ConsenSys journey as we work towards a more accessible web3 future! #ForTheBuilders
