This provision establishes a ceiling on monetary recovery that may be substantially lower than the value of a disputed transaction, particularly for high-value purchases on the resale marketplace. The $100 floor applies to users who have paid little or nothing to GOAT directly.
Under this clause, the maximum financial recovery a user may obtain from GOAT for any claim is limited to the greater of 12 months of payments made to GOAT or $100 USD. For buyers who have made a single high-value purchase, the cap may be limited to amounts paid in the prior year rather than the value of the specific disputed transaction.
