Because the cap is set at $100.00 regardless of the value of harm suffered, it sharply limits any financial recovery a user could obtain from RapidAPI.
The updated terms establish that RapidAPI functions as a hosting platform only and will not be liable for abuse or misuse of APIs to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. This means users who experience harm from an abused or misused API may have limited recourse against RapidAPI itself, though applicable law may still impose certain duties on the platform depending on jurisdiction and the nature of the harm.
View change record →The updated terms introduce new restrictions and disclaimers around GenAI Features. RapidAPI provides these features with no warranties regarding accuracy, reliability, legality, or fitness for any purpose, and users assume sole responsibility for evaluating outputs before acting on them. The terms explicitly prohibit submitting personal data to chatbot functionality and disclaim all liability for unauthorized personal data submission. Users relying on chatbot outputs for decisions must independently verify information, as the terms state chatbot responses are generated algorithmically and may be inaccurate, incomplete, or outdated.
View change record →Users cannot recover more than $100.00 from RapidAPI in aggregate, no matter the scale of harm arising from these Terms.
