### Risk of Regulatory Actions in One or More Jurisdictions
METAMASK and ETH could be impacted by one or more regulatory inquiries or regulatory action, which could impede or limit the ability of METAMASK to continue to develop, or which could impeded or limit the ability of User to use Ethereum Platform or ETH.

### Risk that METAMASK, As Developed, Will Not Meet the Expectations of User
### Risk that METAMASK—As Developed—Will Not Meet the Expectations of User
The User recognizes that METAMASK is under development and may undergo significant changes. User acknowledges that any expectations regarding the form and functionality of METAMASK held by the User may not be met upon release of METAMASK, for any number of reasons including a change in the design and implementation plans and execution of the implementation of METAMASK.
### Risk of Weaknesses or Exploitable Breakthroughs in the Field of Cryptography
Cryptography is an art, not a science. And the state of the art can advance over time. Advances in code cracking, or technical advances such as the development of quantum computers could present risks to cryptocurrencies and METAMASK, which could result in the theft or loss of ETH. To the extent possible, METAMASK intends to update the protocol underlying METAMASK to account for any advances in cryptography and to incorporate additional security measures, but cannot it cannot predict the future of cryptography or the success of any future security updates.

### Warning of Possible Malicious Contracts in Ethereum Apps
ETHEREUM applications can be written maliciously. METAMASK cannot be held liable if you choose to interact with a contract that does not perform as expected. A contract may keep funds sent to it, or even impersonate the person making a request of it. METAMASK developers will do everything they can to warn you of potential threats, but they cannot be considered omniscient, and so all liability of interacting with malevolent contracts must lie on the user.
