Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

Generated by a model from the captured document; not read by a person

This provision limits Progressive's financial exposure for website-related harms including unauthorized data access, with a carve-out only for gross negligence or intentional misconduct, which means users bear the risk of ordinary negligence-related data incidents under the terms as written.

⚠

Interpretive note: Enforceability of the liability limitation for ordinary negligence-related data incidents depends on applicable state law and may be superseded by statutory data security and breach notification obligations.
