This analysis describes what Vercel'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
Users who suffer significant direct harm may only recover up to the greater of $100 or six months of fees paid, regardless of the actual magnitude of damages.
Interpretive note: The excerpt contains 'COSTS, LOSSES, OF LIABILITIES' which appears to contain a typographical error ('OF' likely intended as 'OR'). The scope of the cap—whether it covers only Vercel's liability or also applies symmetrically—is not entirely clear from the excerpt alone. The aggregation across all claims is an additional independent proposition not stated in the canonical claim.
The updated terms establish a new framework for Managed Teams and Managed Accounts. If your account uses an email address on a domain provisioned or verified by a Managed Team (such as your work email), Vercel may suspend your personal account and provision a new managed account governed by separate terms between your employer and Vercel, not by this Agreement. Vercel will notify you at that email address and allow a reasonable period to move your content to a different email address before potentially terminating the suspended account. Your managed account will be governed by the terms between the Managed Team owner and Vercel, while any account you maintain at a different email address continues to be governed by this Agreement.
