This provision establishes a ceiling on DeepL's financial exposure per subscriber claim. The clause is conditioned on applicable law, which preserves mandatory statutory liability under German law and may be further modified by consumer protection rules in other jurisdictions. For high-volume API or enterprise users paying significant annual fees, the 12-month payment figure could represent a meaningful cap, while for lower-tier subscribers the EUR 100 floor applies.
Interpretive note: Enforceability of the liability cap varies by jurisdiction; mandatory consumer protection rules in EU member states and certain US states may limit or override the cap for individual consumer subscribers.
Added a EUR 100 minimum liability floor, expanded scope language from 'damages' to 'any claims', and added 'to the extent permitted by applicable law' qualifier.
