If Hugging Face causes you harm, the maximum amount they are required to pay you is limited to the fees you paid them in the 12 months before the incident.
This analysis describes what Hugging Face'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
The liability cap defines the maximum financial exposure Hugging Face accepts for service failures, data loss, or other claims. This mechanism establishes predictable risk allocation between the service provider and users, affecting the scope of potential remedies available through dispute resolution.
Users who suffer significant losses due to Hugging Face's actions or negligence — such as data loss, security breaches, or service outages — may only recover a small fraction of their actual damages. Free-tier users may recover nothing at all.
