Medium severity
Share 𝕏 Share in Share

Why it matters

This cap severely limits your financial recourse if Hugging Face's platform failures, data breaches, or service disruptions cause significant financial or operational damage.

Consumer impact

Users who publish content publicly on Hugging Face grant every other user a perpetual and irrevocable license to use, reproduce, and create derivative works from that content β€” this cannot be undone. Hugging Face can also modify, suspend, or discontinue services at any time without notice, and its liability to users is capped at amounts paid in the prior 12 months. You can set repositories to private to limit this broad public license and protect your content from unrestricted use by others.

Applicable agencies

  • FTC
    Liability limitations that effectively deny consumers meaningful remedies for corporate negligence may fall under FTC unfair or deceptive practices review.
