Llama API terms go from an error page to full terms with arbitration and class-action waiver
The old capture was mostly an error page, followed by Meta's Data Security Terms and Global Processor Terms. The new capture shows Llama API terms for the first time, including binding AAA arbitration with Meta Platforms, Inc., a jury and class action waiver, and California courts and law (Irish courts where Meta Ireland is the contracting party). It also has 'as is' warranty disclaimers, Meta's right to suspend access, and free assignment by Meta. In your favour, Meta pays arbitration fees for non-frivolous claims up to $75,000, and you can opt out of arbitration within 30 days. Because the old text was not the real terms, these may not be new changes to the service.
