W&B's maximum financial responsibility to you for any harm caused is capped at whatever you paid them in the 12 months before the problem occurred, and they owe nothing for lost profits or indirect harms.
This clause means that no matter how serious W&B's failure is — data loss, security breach, or service outage — your financial recovery is limited to your last year of subscription payments, with no compensation for business losses, lost revenue, or consequential damages.

(1) REGULATORY FRAMEWORK: Limitation of liability clauses in commercial SaaS agreements are governed by applicable state contract law (California UCC and common law in this case). Where personal data is involved, GDPR Art. 82 provides data subjects a right to compensation that may not be contractually limited between controller and processor, creating a potential conflict with this clause for EU-regulated data. CCPA §1798.150 provides California consumers a private right of action for data breaches that may similarly not be contractually waivable. (2)
