If Postman causes you harm, the most you can recover financially is $100 or whatever you paid Postman in the last year. For free users, that effectively means $100 is the ceiling on any claim.
This analysis describes what Postman's agreement states, permits, or reserves. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Regulatory applicability and practical outcomes may vary by jurisdiction, enforcement context, and individual circumstances. Read our methodology
This clause means that even significant harm, such as loss of proprietary API data or service outages affecting business operations, results in very limited financial recovery from Postman. Enterprise customers should negotiate enhanced liability terms through a separate enterprise agreement.
Interpretive note: Enforceability of the $100 cap may vary by jurisdiction, particularly for EU consumers and California residents with additional statutory protections.
Free-tier users are limited to recovering at most $100 from Postman for any harm caused by the platform, regardless of the actual damage suffered, including data loss, service disruption, or security incidents involving uploaded content.
