Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

The cap means that regardless of the severity of harm, Anthropic's maximum financial exposure to any individual user is strictly bounded by a formula that may yield as little as $100.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

A user's ability to recover damages from Anthropic is capped at the greater of six months of their own payments or $100, no matter what losses they actually suffered.
