The liability limitation operates to define the maximum financial exposure Craigslist assumes under the terms, establishing a threshold for all damage categories and creating a predictable liability boundary for the service provider across all usage scenarios.
Users operate under a terms structure in which any claim for damages—whether arising from platform malfunction, data loss, transaction disputes, or other service-related issues—is capped at either $100 or their prior year payments to Craigslist, whichever is lower. This mechanism applies to all damage types including consequential and punitive losses.
