This analysis describes what GOAT'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
For users buying or selling high-value sneakers worth hundreds or thousands of dollars, this cap means GOAT's maximum exposure for platform errors, lost packages, or other issues may be far lower than the actual value at stake.
Interpretive note: Enforceability of the $100 cap may be limited in EU, UK, and certain US state jurisdictions where consumer protection law prohibits exclusion of liability for specific harms.
A seller who ships a $500 pair of sneakers that is lost or mishandled through GOAT's platform may only be able to recover $100 from GOAT if they have paid GOAT less than that in fees, creating a significant gap between actual loss and recoverable damages.
