Even if Paramount+ causes you harm through negligence or breach of contract, they cannot be held responsible for most types of damages — only direct damages up to a capped amount.
This provision means that if Paramount+ suffers a data breach exposing your personal information, or if their service failures cause financial loss, you can only recover direct damages up to the amount you paid in subscription fees — not lost profits, not emotional distress, not other consequential harms.

REGULATORY FRAMEWORK: Limitation of liability clauses are generally enforceable under New York contract law (the governing law), but are subject to unconscionability challenges under UCC §2-302 and Restatement (Second) of Contracts §208 where they are both procedurally and substantively unconscionable. CCPA/CPRA §1798.150 creates a private right of action for data breaches that cannot be entirely contractually waived — statutory damages of $100–$750 per consumer per incident are available regardless of actual damages. GDPR Article 82 similarly creates non-waivable data subject rights to compensation for GDPR violations.
