ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

The cap means the maximum recoverable amount is tied to past fees paid, which may be far less than the actual harm suffered by either party.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

If the Subscriber suffers a loss caused by Fastly, the Subscriber can recover no more than the fees it paid Fastly in the 12 months before the first incident.
