Limitation of Liability

Why it matters

Even if DocuSign causes significant harm — such as a data breach affecting your legally binding documents — your ability to recover financial compensation is severely restricted.

Consumer impact

DocuSign's terms significantly limit users' ability to sue the company in court by requiring binding arbitration for most disputes, and cap DocuSign's financial liability to the fees paid in the prior 12 months. Users grant DocuSign a broad license to use content they submit to the platform, and the company reserves the right to change terms with notice. You can opt out of the arbitration clause by sending written notice to DocuSign within 30 days of first accepting the terms.

Applicable agencies

  • FTC
    The FTC can investigate whether liability caps constitute unfair or deceptive terms that disadvantage consumers, particularly when combined with mandatory arbitration.
