There is no account here, nothing for sale and no transaction between us, so most of what a normal set of terms covers does not arise. What is left is the part that actually matters on a guide site: how far you should rely on what you read, and what you may do with it afterwards. Both are set out below in plain language, with the legal wording kept to what it needs to be.
Plain-English terms for one website. Not legal advice to you, and not a substitute for Meta’s own terms, which govern the products described here.
A set of terms that quietly implies authority over things it has no part in is a bad start. Here is the boundary, in three parts.
Reading the pages, relying on them, quoting them and linking to them. That is the entire subject matter of this document, and it is the only thing we control.
Governed here: everything on metaaimac.comMeta AI, Muse, Muse Image, Muse Video and Meta One are Meta’s, and your use of them is governed by Meta’s terms and your agreement with Meta. Nothing written here changes that in either direction.
Governed by: Meta Platforms, Inc.We host no installer, offer no downloads and take no money from readers. Every download, sign-up and purchase happens on Meta’s own properties, under Meta’s terms. See the download guide for why that distinction matters.
Handled by: nobody hereBecause there is no account, no subscription and no purchase, there is also nothing to terminate, no billing to dispute and no user content for you to license to us. Those clauses are missing from this document because the things they would govern do not exist, not because they were overlooked.
What you are agreeing to, in the ordinary way that a reader agrees to a publisher's terms, is the reliance position in the next section and the reuse position in the one after it.
This is the operative part of the document, and the clauses below are the ones worth reading properly if you read nothing else.
MetaAIMac.com is made available without warranty of any kind, whether express or implied, including as to accuracy, completeness, fitness for a particular purpose or uninterrupted availability. We take real care over what is published — the editorial rules set out how — but care is not a guarantee, and this document does not offer one.
In practice: the pages are written to be right, and sometimes they will be wrong anyway.
Where a statement on this site conflicts with Meta’s own current documentation, terms, pricing pages or product behaviour, Meta’s version governs and ours should be treated as out of date or mistaken. This applies to every page without exception, and it is the reason the disclaimer appears in the footer of all of them.
In practice: if the two disagree, believe Meta — and please tell us, because that is a correction we want.
Prices, usage limits, regional availability, system requirements and model capabilities all change on Meta’s schedule rather than ours. A page that was accurate when written can be wrong within a week of a product announcement, and nothing on this site should be treated as a live feed of a vendor’s current position.
In practice: confirm anything time-sensitive against Meta’s own page before you act on it.
Nothing published here is legal, financial, security or other professional advice, and it is not a substitute for advice from someone qualified who knows your circumstances. That matters most on the pages dealing with permissions, data handling and subscriptions, where the right answer genuinely depends on facts we cannot see.
In practice: decisions about your data, your money and your machine remain yours.
This site links to Meta’s properties and to other third-party pages. We have no control over their content, security or availability, and a link is not a warranty that the destination is safe, accurate or currently working. Once you follow one, that site’s own terms and policies apply to you instead of these.
In practice: our responsibility ends where the link does.
Before you grant a system permission, pay for a subscription, or write code against a documented limit, open Meta’s own page for that thing and check it there too. It takes a minute and it is the difference between a guide being useful and a guide being load-bearing, which it was never meant to be.
That advice costs this site nothing and is the honest version, which is roughly the standard the rest of the site is written to.
Most sites answer this with a copyright line and nothing else, which leaves a reader who simply wants to quote a paragraph guessing. So here is an explicit permission, and an explicit limit.
The words, page structures, diagrams and illustrations on this site are original work and are protected by copyright. The Meta names that appear throughout — Meta, Meta AI, Muse, Muse Image, Muse Video, Meta One and the rest — are trademarks of Meta Platforms, Inc., used here to identify the products being written about. That use does not imply affiliation, endorsement or sponsorship, and no claim is made to those marks.
You may quote a reasonable extract with credit and a link. You may not republish pages wholesale, or bulk-copy the site so that a copy stands in for the original.
The distinction is between using this work and replacing it. Quoting a paragraph in an article, citing a page in documentation, teaching from it, or sending a colleague a link are all fine and need no permission beyond this. Scraping the site to reconstitute it elsewhere is not, and neither is presenting anything from here as though it were Meta’s official material.
You may reproduce a reasonable extract for commentary, criticism, teaching, research or reporting, provided you credit MetaAIMac.com and link to the page you took it from. Deep links to any page are welcome and need no permission at all.
Copying entire pages, substantial parts of the site, or systematically extracting content so that your copy substitutes for the original is not permitted, with or without credit. Nor is framing the site to obscure its origin.
Reading, printing, saving a page for your own reference, or sending it to a colleague are all normal use of a public website and need no permission. Accessibility tooling, readers and translation are equally fine.
Nothing from this site may be presented as Meta’s official material, and nothing here may be used to suggest that Meta, or this site, endorses a product, service or company. We have no commercial relationship with Meta and are not in a position to endorse anyone.
Want to do something this section does not cover — syndicate an article, translate a page, use a diagram in a course? Ask on the contact page. Requests of that kind are usually granted, and it costs nothing to check.
Please do not attempt to interfere with the site or the server it runs on, probe it for vulnerabilities, overload it with automated requests, or use it to distribute anything unlawful. There is no login to attack and nothing stored about readers, so there is very little here worth anyone’s trouble — but the request stands.
The site may be unavailable at times, for maintenance, hosting problems or reasons outside anyone’s control, and pages may be changed, moved or removed without notice. No uptime commitment is made or implied, and none is realistic for a site of this kind.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for loss or damage arising from your use of this site or from reliance on anything published on it — including lost data, lost profits, wasted expenditure or consequential loss. Given that the site sells nothing and holds nothing about you, the realistic exposure here is a page being wrong, which is precisely what the reliance section asks you to guard against by checking Meta’s own documentation.
Nothing in these terms limits liability that the law does not allow to be limited — including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, and any statutory rights you hold as a consumer. Where your local law gives you rights that this document appears to reduce, your local law wins.
A terms page can be padded until it looks complete. This one names what is missing instead, in the same spirit as the consent gap on the privacy page.
Most terms name a country or state whose law applies and where disputes would be heard. This document does not, because that has not been settled, and naming a jurisdiction that has not been chosen would be worse than admitting the gap. The practical effect is that in a dispute the applicable law would be determined by ordinary conflict-of-laws principles rather than by agreement — and, as above, mandatory consumer protections in your own country apply to you either way.
These terms are published by the operator of MetaAIMac.com, reachable at hello@metaaimac.com, and no company name or registered address is given. That is a genuine omission rather than a stylistic choice, and some jurisdictions require a publisher’s identity to be disclosed. Until it appears here, the contact address is the route to whoever is responsible for this site.
Because the alternative is a document that reads as complete and is not, and because a reader who needs to know which law applies is better served by a plain answer than by a confident-sounding clause that was picked for the look of the thing.
The same reasoning runs through the editorial rules: a gap stated is information, and a gap filled with a plausible guess is a risk handed to whoever relies on it.
These terms may change, and the effective date at the top of the page changes with them; since there is no account and no mailing list, continued use of the site is what makes the current version applicable to you. If any provision turns out to be unenforceable, the rest continues to apply. Questions about this document, like everything else, go to the contact page.
There is nothing to sign, no account to create and nothing to pay. These terms apply to your use of the site in the ordinary way that a publisher’s terms do, and the practical content of them is how far you should rely on what you read and what you may do with it afterwards.
Yes. You may quote a reasonable extract for commentary, teaching, research or reporting, provided you credit MetaAIMac.com and link to the page you took it from. What is not permitted is republishing pages wholesale or bulk-copying the site so that a copy substitutes for the original.
No. This is an independent guide with no affiliation to Meta Platforms, Inc. Where anything here conflicts with Meta’s own documentation or terms, Meta’s version governs and ours is simply out of date or wrong.
Not as a final source. Prices, limits, availability and capabilities change faster than any third-party guide tracks them, so anything here should be confirmed against Meta’s own current pages before you act on it — particularly before paying for something or granting a permission.
Neither. The site hosts no software, offers no downloads and takes no payments. Every download, sign-up and purchase happens on Meta’s own properties, and these terms create no transaction between you and us.
The site is provided as it is, without warranty, so there is no guarantee of accuracy or availability. In practice a reported error gets fixed, and corrections are the most useful thing a reader can send.
This document does not currently specify one, and rather than name a jurisdiction that has not been settled, it says so openly. Mandatory consumer protections in your own country continue to apply to you regardless of what any website’s terms say.
Yes, and the effective date at the top of the page changes with them. Because there is no account and no mailing list, continued use of the site after a change is the only practical way that the current version applies to you.
That single habit covers most of what this document is asking of you, and it is the one thing a guide cannot do on your behalf.
A plain-English set of terms for one website, not legal advice to you. Meta’s own terms govern Meta’s products. See also privacy and about.
