What it is

If Twilio causes you harm, the maximum amount you can recover from them is either the total fees you paid in the last 12 months or $100 — whichever is greater.

ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

For businesses that suffer significant losses — such as a major service outage or data breach — the actual damages could far exceed the fees paid, meaning Twilio's financial exposure is severely capped regardless of the harm caused.

— Excerpt from Segment's Segment Terms of Service

ConductAtlas Analysis

Institutional analysis (Compliance & governance intelligence)

REGULATORY FRAMEWORK: Limitation of liability clauses are governed by UCC Article 2 and common law contract principles. In EU jurisdictions, such caps may be unenforceable under national implementation of EU Directive 93/13/EEC on unfair contract terms if deemed unconscionable, and GDPR Art. 82 preserves data subjects' rights to full compensation that cannot be contractually limited.
