Skillshare's total financial liability to you for any claim is capped at either $100 or the amount you paid them in the last 12 months, whichever is greater, and they are not liable for any lost data, profits, or other indirect harm.
If Skillshare deletes your account, loses your uploaded content, or causes financial harm to your teaching business, your maximum legal recovery is capped at $100 or your last 12 months of subscription payments — a provision that may leave teachers who lose substantial course libraries with no meaningful financial recourse.

REGULATORY FRAMEWORK: This provision engages EU Unfair Contract Terms Directive (93/13/EEC), under which blanket liability caps in consumer contracts may be deemed unfair and unenforceable; UK Consumer Rights Act 2015 §65, which prohibits exclusion of liability for death or personal injury and limits exclusion for other losses in consumer contracts; GDPR Art. 82, which grants data subjects the right to compensation for damage caused by GDPR violations that cannot be contractually excluded; and FTC Act Section 5 regarding whether the cap creates an unfair practice by removing meaningful consumer recourse. EU national courts and data protection authorities are relevant enforcement bodies.
