What it is

Databricks caps or eliminates its financial responsibility to you for almost all types of damages — including lost data, lost business, or personal injury — arising from use of their websites.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

If using Databricks' websites results in harm to your business, data, or revenue — such as reliance on incorrect product documentation leading to a costly technical failure — you are very limited in what financial recovery you can seek from Databricks.

Why it matters (compliance & risk perspective)

Even if Databricks' website causes significant harm — such as data loss, business disruption, or personal injury through reliance on incorrect information — users cannot recover most categories of damages from Databricks.

IN NO EVENT WILL DATABRICKS, ITS AFFILIATES OR THEIR LICENSORS, SERVICE PROVIDERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, OFFICERS, OR DIRECTORS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO, PERSONAL INJURY, PAIN AND SUFFERING, EMOTIONAL DISTRESS, LOSS OF REVENUE, LOSS OF PROFITS, LOSS OF BUSINESS OR ANTICIPATED SAVINGS, LOSS OF USE, LOSS OF GOODWILL, LOSS OF DATA, AND WHETHER CAUSED BY TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), BREACH OF CONTRACT, OR OTHERWISE.

Institutional analysis (Compliance & legal intelligence)

1) REGULATORY FRAMEWORK: Limitation of liability clauses implicate UCC §2-719, UCITA, and equivalent state contract law provisions. EU consumer protection under Directive 93/13/EEC and UK Consumer Rights Act 2015 Part 2 may render blanket liability exclusions unenforceable against individual consumers. GDPR Art. 82 independently establishes data controller liability for data breaches that cannot be contractually excluded. 2)
