Robinhood limits its legal responsibility to you by stating it is not liable for indirect or consequential losses such as lost profits or data losses, even if those losses result from problems with its platform or services.

This clause limits the types of financial harm users can seek compensation for in a dispute, excluding categories like lost investment profits or losses resulting from platform outages, which are directly relevant to a trading platform.
Interpretive note: The qualifying phrase 'to the maximum extent permitted by law' means the actual scope of this limitation depends on applicable state law and regulatory requirements, which vary by jurisdiction.
Under this provision, users may be unable to recover consequential or indirect losses such as missed trading gains or platform-related losses, even if those losses are connected to Robinhood's service failures; the phrase 'to the maximum extent permitted by law' means applicable law may limit how broadly this exclusion applies in practice.

"TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ROBINHOOD AND ITS AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, PARTNERS, AND LICENSORS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, USE, GOODWILL, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES, RESULTING FROM YOUR ACCESS TO OR USE OF (OR INABILITY TO ACCESS OR USE) THE SERVICES.— Excerpt from Robinhood's Robinhood Margin Account Rules
REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: Limitation of liability clauses in consumer financial services agreements engage state consumer protection statutes, many of which restrict or void contractual liability waivers that are deemed unconscionable or contrary to public policy. The FTC Act's prohibition on unfair or deceptive acts or practices may also be relevant if such clauses are found to mislead consumers about their rights. SEC and FINRA regulations impose independent duties of care on registered broker-dealers that may exist separately from contractual liability limitations. GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Medium. While limitation of liability clauses are common in technology and financial services agreements, their application to consequential losses on a trading platform, where platform availability and execution quality are directly tied to financial outcomes, may face scrutiny from regulators and courts. The qualifying phrase 'to the maximum extent permitted by law' preserves some user protections but creates ambiguity about the actual scope of the limitation. JURISDICTION FLAGS: California, New York, and other states have consumer protection statutes and common law doctrines that may limit the enforceability of broad consequential damages exclusions, particularly where the service provider's negligence or willful misconduct is involved. EU and UK frameworks impose non-waivable consumer rights that would override such clauses for users in those jurisdictions. CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Institutional clients and B2B partners negotiating with Robinhood should assess whether the limitation of liability clause is consistent with their own risk management requirements and whether negotiated carve-outs for gross negligence or willful misconduct are available. The clause as drafted applies broadly to all affiliates and agents. COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Legal teams should track regulatory and judicial developments regarding liability limitations in financial services technology platforms, particularly in connection with trading halts, platform outages, and order execution failures, which have been the subject of prior regulatory scrutiny of Robinhood specifically.
