No matter what goes wrong — including investment losses or platform errors — Wealthfront's total financial responsibility to you is limited to a maximum of $100.
This analysis describes what Wealthfront'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 liability limitation defines the maximum financial exposure Wealthfront assumes under the agreement, which affects the scope of potential remedies available through dispute resolution or legal proceedings for any losses or damages claimed by the user.
This provision significantly limits your legal recourse if Wealthfront's platform, advice, or technology causes you financial harm, making it very difficult to be compensated for significant losses.

"THE FOREGOING LIMITATION OF LIABILITY SHALL APPLY TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW IN THE APPLICABLE JURISDICTION AND IN NO EVENT SHALL WEALTHFRONT'S CUMULATIVE LIABILITY TO YOU EXCEED U.S. $100.— Excerpt from Wealthfront's Wealthfront Terms of Service
The $100 cumulative liability cap is broadly drafted and may face enforceability challenges under California consumer protection law or federal securities regulations governing investment advisers' fiduciary duties.
