ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

Regardless of the nature or number of claims, the maximum financial recovery from Instacart and the named parties is limited to the greater of $100 or amounts paid, which may be far less than actual losses.

Interpretive note: The excerpt is truncated by an ellipsis before 'will not exceed,' so the full qualifying language around 'amounts paid' (e.g., a time period or scope) is not visible. The primary cap structure is clear, but secondary conditions on 'amounts paid' cannot be fully verified from the excerpt.
