If Signal causes you any harm — no matter how serious — the most you can ever recover from them in total is $100, and you cannot claim lost profits or other consequential damages.
Even if a serious failure of Signal's service caused you significant harm — such as a security breach exposing sensitive communications — your maximum financial recovery would be capped at $100 in total.

(1) REGULATORY FRAMEWORK: Liability limitation clauses are governed by state contract law (California UCC and common law) and may be subject to unconscionability challenges. EU/UK consumer protection law (EU Unfair Contract Terms Directive 93/13/EEC, UK Consumer Rights Act 2015 s.62) may render this clause unenforceable against EU and UK consumers. GDPR Art. 82 provides an independent right to compensation for data protection breaches that cannot be contractually limited. (2)
