To the extent permitted under law, and except as set forth in section 4.2, LinkedIn's liability to you or others is limited to the greater of: (a) the total fees paid or payable by you to LinkedIn for the Services during the term of this Contract, or (b) USD $1,000.
For free-tier users who have paid LinkedIn nothing, this cap means your maximum recovery for any harm caused by LinkedIn — including data breaches or wrongful account termination — could be as low as $1,000.
LinkedIn's User Agreement grants the company a broad, royalty-free, worldwide license to use any content you post — including photos, articles, and videos — which extends to AI training and service development and persists beyond account deletion in some circumstances. LinkedIn's liability to you is capped at the greater of fees paid in the past twelve months or $1,000, which severely limits your ability to recover damages even for serious service failures. You can review and manage your privacy and data settings, including AI data usage preferences, at linkedin.com/psettings.
