Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

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.
