This provision sets a financial ceiling on Quora's liability that is directly tied to the user's payment history, meaning free-tier users would effectively have a zero-dollar liability cap in practice, and paid users would be limited to the subscription fees paid over the prior year.
Under this clause, the maximum financial recovery available to a user from Quora for Poe-related losses is limited to the amount paid to Quora in the prior twelve months.
