What it is

Discord caps its financial liability to users at either the amounts paid by the user to Discord in the three months preceding the claim or $100 USD, whichever is greater. Discord also disclaims liability for user conduct and content both on and off the platform.

ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

This provision establishes a $100 USD floor on the damages cap, which may be materially lower than actual losses in many dispute scenarios. The disclaimer of liability for other users' conduct and content is relevant in the context of a platform where user-generated content is central to the service.
