ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

This clause places a low ceiling on Yelp's financial exposure regardless of the magnitude of harm suffered, which could be $100 or less for users who paid nothing.

Interpretive note: The excerpt is truncated with ellipses, and additional conditions or carve-outs may be present in the full clause that are not reflected in the canonical claim. The second item in what_this_means is inferred from the structure of the cap but is grounded directly in the canonical claim's logic.
