What it is

Figma limits its total financial liability to you to either $20 or the amount you paid Figma in the past 12 months, whichever is greater. Figma is not liable for lost profits, lost data, or other indirect losses.

This analysis describes what Figma's agreement states, permits, or reserves. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Regulatory applicability and practical outcomes may vary by jurisdiction, enforcement context, and individual circumstances. Read our methodology

ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

Even if Figma causes significant harm — such as loss of your data or business disruption — the agreement caps what you can recover financially, which may be far less than your actual losses. For free-tier users, the cap may be as low as $20.

Interpretive note: Enforceability of the liability cap against individual consumers may vary by jurisdiction; EU, UK, and some US state consumer protection laws may limit the applicability of such caps.

The removal of the Subprocessors list link makes it less convenient for users, particularly enterprise and EU-based customers who rely on this information for data protection compliance, to verify which third parties Figma engages to process their data. While the subprocessor information may still exist on Figma's website, removing the direct link from the Terms of Service reduces accessibility and transparency. Enterprise customers and those subject to GDPR may need to contact Figma directly to access current subprocessor information.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

If Figma loses your data or causes business disruption, the most you can typically recover under these terms is $20 or your last 12 months of payments to Figma. This cap may be significantly lower than actual losses for professional or enterprise users, though applicable law in some jurisdictions may limit the enforceability of such caps against consumers.
