Anthropic's financial liability to you for any claims related to the services is capped at the greater of the fees you paid in the past 12 months or $100, whichever is higher.
This analysis describes what Anthropic's agreement states, permits, or reserves. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Regulatory applicability and practical outcomes may vary by jurisdiction, enforcement context, and individual circumstances. Read our methodology
The liability cap means that regardless of the nature or extent of harm a user experiences in connection with the services, Anthropic's maximum financial exposure to that user is limited to a relatively small dollar amount, which may significantly limit available remedies.
Interpretive note: The document text was truncated and the exact liability cap language was not included in the excerpt; the $100 floor and 12-month fee reference is inferred from standard Anthropic terms and contextual references, but the precise formulation could not be directly quoted.
Users who pay little or nothing for the service (such as free tier users) may be limited to recovering no more than $100 from Anthropic for any claim arising from use of the services. This cap may require evaluation under applicable consumer protection law in jurisdictions that restrict or prohibit such limitations for consumer contracts.
