ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

The cap ties the maximum recoverable amount to a single prior month's payment, which may be far below the actual harm suffered, and extends the cap to Mailchimp's third-party providers as well.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

If Mailchimp or its third-party providers cause you harm in a given calendar month, the total amount you can recover is limited to what you paid Mailchimp for the Service in the preceding month.
