Target's financial liability to you for problems arising from using its website or services is significantly limited, and in most cases Target will not be responsible for indirect or consequential losses you suffer.
This analysis describes what Target'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
The clause narrows the categories of damages for which Target bears financial responsibility in disputes arising from service provision. By excluding consequential and indirect damages, the provision reduces the scope of monetary exposure Target faces in breach or negligence scenarios.
Interpretive note: The exact limitation of liability language was not fully visible in the truncated document; the provision is inferred from standard Target terms and partial document signals, and specific carve-outs for statutory claims may exist in the full document.
California customers using Target's same-day delivery service will now pay a CA Shipt Shopper Benefit Fee in addition to standard delivery costs, according to the updated terms. The terms do not specify the fee amount, structure, or whether it applies to all same-day orders or only certain product categories. Consumers in California should review their receipt or account details to understand the exact fee amount and whether it was previously being charged but undisclosed, or if this represents a new charge.
View change record →Target removed specific language that explained how Target Circle Bonus rewards are earned, calculated, and reflected in customer accounts across different purchase methods (online, in-store, Same Day Delivery, Order Pickup, Drive Up). Previously, the terms clarified that online orders counted as one transaction unless they included Target Plus items or used Same Day Delivery, and specified timing for when bonuses would appear (24 hours for in-store, upon shipment/pickup/delivery for online). Without this clarity, customers must now rely on in-app displays or support channels to understand exactly how their purchases contribute to bonus eligibility, which may create confusion about reward calculation or disputes over earned benefits.
View change record →Target's updated Terms and Conditions now include explicit governance for its Target Circle loyalty program and Target Circle 360 membership. The updated terms establish that membership is voluntary and that by joining or continuing to use the program, members agree to Target Circle-specific terms and the Privacy Policy in effect at that time. The terms authorize Target to update the Target Circle Terms, the Target App, or the website at any time without advance notice, with continued program participation constituting acceptance of those updates. You can choose not to join Target Circle or can stop participating in the program to avoid binding yourself to these updated terms.
View change record →Consumers generally cannot recover damages beyond direct out-of-pocket losses from Target in most dispute scenarios; losses like lost profits, data recovery costs, or other consequential harms are excluded under this provision.

"TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL TARGET BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES.— Excerpt from Target's Target Terms and Conditions
REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: Limitation of liability clauses in consumer contracts are subject to scrutiny under state consumer protection laws. Several states, including California, do not permit limitation of liability clauses to disclaim liability for intentional misconduct, gross negligence, or violations of consumer protection statutes. The FTC Act may constrain the application of such clauses where they effectively immunize deceptive or unfair practices. GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Medium. Limitation of liability clauses are standard in consumer platform agreements and generally enforceable for negligence claims, but they face heightened scrutiny when applied to statutory claims (CCPA, CLRA, consumer fraud statutes) where remedies are established by law and may not be waivable by contract. JURISDICTION FLAGS: California, New York, and Massachusetts have statutory consumer protections that may provide minimum remedies not subject to contractual limitation. The clause's application to payment card data breaches or loyalty account compromises may conflict with state data breach notification laws that provide independent remedies. CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Vendors operating on or through Target's platform should assess whether Target's limitation of liability terms flow down to their own customer relationships and whether indemnification obligations under vendor agreements are adequate given this limitation. COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Legal teams should confirm that the limitation of liability clause is not applied to claims arising under statutes that provide non-waivable consumer remedies, and that it is presented in a manner (typically conspicuous capitalized text) that courts will recognize as adequately disclosed to consumers.
