StockX caps what it can owe you in damages at either what you paid them in the last six months or $100, whichever is more, and it will not pay for lost profits, data loss, or other indirect harm regardless of what went wrong.
This analysis describes what StockX's agreement states, permits, or reserves. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Regulatory applicability and practical outcomes may vary by jurisdiction, enforcement context, and individual circumstances. Read our methodology
For high-value transactions on StockX, where a single purchase or sale could be worth thousands of dollars, this clause limits the platform's financial exposure to a fraction of the actual transaction value, shifting the economic risk of platform errors or failures almost entirely to users.
The updated terms explicitly state that automated agents, bots, APIs, and AI-based tools accessing your account on your behalf are covered by the agreement, and you are responsible for all actions those tools take. Previously, the terms referenced electronic agents more generically. The revised language directly obligates account holders for automated activity, meaning if a buy-for-me agent, API, or bot violates platform rules through your account, you bear liability for that violation. The updated terms also remove country-specific overrides that previously applied in the UK, Italy, France, Germany, Japan, and South Korea, meaning the main terms now apply uniformly across those jurisdictions without regional exemptions.
