Liability Limitation ($200 Cap)

Why it matters

If Cash App makes an error that costs you thousands of dollars — for example, a wrongful account freeze or a transaction error — this clause means you may only recover a tiny fraction of your actual loss.

Consumer impact

Cash App's Terms bind users to mandatory individual arbitration and a class action waiver, effectively removing the right to take Cash App to court for any financial dispute, including unauthorized transactions, account closures, or fee disputes. The agreement also limits Cash App's maximum liability to just $200 or fees paid in the prior 12 months — whichever is greater — even in cases involving significant financial loss. You can opt out of arbitration within 30 days of first agreeing to these Terms by mailing a written opt-out notice to Block, Inc., 1955 Broadway, Suite 600, Oakland, CA 94612.

What you can do

⚠️ These actions may provide transparency or partial mitigation but may not fully address the underlying issue. Effectiveness varies by jurisdiction and individual circumstances.
  • Dispute a Fee
    Within 2 days

Applicable agencies

  • CFPB
