ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

The cap operates to bound OpenSea's financial exposure for all disputes, including those arising from contract breach, tort, or strict liability, and applies across all claims simultaneously rather than per-claim, establishing a fixed ceiling on recoverable damages.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

Users' recoverable damages in any dispute with OpenSea are restricted to a maximum amount equal to either their payments to the platform over the prior 12 months or $100, whichever is greater, across all claims combined. This mechanism applies regardless of the type of legal claim or the circumstances giving rise to the dispute.
