This exclusion eliminates recovery for the most significant categories of economic harm that typically result from service failures, limiting any claim to direct damages only.
Interpretive note: The excerpt ends with an ellipsis after item (B), indicating further excluded categories may exist. The canonical claim captures only what is explicitly quoted. The mutual application of the exclusion (both parties) is noted in omitted_material rather than foregrounded, as the primary proposition concerns the scope of excluded damages.
The updated terms indicate that Windsurf is now operating as the Cognition Platform under Cognition AI, Inc., replacing the prior Exafunction, Inc. structure. The revised terms state that prior terms continue to govern use for 30 days from the posting date (July 1, 2026), and that continued access after that period constitutes acceptance of the updated terms. Users who do not agree with the new terms are instructed to stop using or accessing the Services. The specific substantive changes to user rights, data collection, fees, or service functionality are not detailed in the provided change summary.
