This clause restricts the scope of damages Meta may be required to pay in disputes arising under the agreement. It excludes categories of harm that typically represent the largest financial exposure in service disruption or data-related incidents, thereby defining the outer boundary of Meta's contractual liability exposure.
Under this provision, users cannot recover damages for indirect or consequential harms even if Meta's actions cause service interruption, data loss, or other indirect losses. The terms specify that only direct damages within narrowly defined categories would be recoverable, subject to other liability limitations in the agreement.
