Norton License and Services Agreement (LSA) changes — first seen 2026-08-12 (MINOR)

What changed, in plain language

Norton added a short, incomplete fragment at the very end of the agreement — after the document's closing footer — that reads "Then, these laws apply:" followed by a list of California, Brazil, and Québec, Canada. The sentence it belongs to is missing, so it does not actually say who it applies to or what it does. Nothing else in the agreement changed. This looks like a publishing glitch rather than a real new rule, but because it names governing laws, it is worth watching in case a fuller version shows up later.

Changes that may affect you

Incomplete governing-law text tacked onto the endMINOR

JURISDICTION

The new lines name three sets of laws (California, Brazil, and Québec) but the sentence setting up when they apply is missing. Right now this changes nothing about your rights, and it does not replace the rules about which law governs your agreement. The risk is that it is the leftover piece of a larger governing-law rewrite that could show up in a future version, which can affect where and under which law you would have to bring a complaint.

“Then, these laws apply: - State of California - Laws of Brazil - Laws of Québec, Canada”

What you can do — No action needed today. If you want certainty, check the current agreement at norton.com/legal or ask Norton support what these lines refer to, and re-check the next time the agreement is updated.

A new snippet appears after the agreement's closing footer. It says "Then, these laws apply:" and then lists California, Brazil, and Québec, Canada. The sentence that would explain when or to whom these laws apply is not there. As written, it does not change any rule you can point to.
Then, these laws apply:
