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.
No matter how significant your losses, Yelp's maximum financial obligation to you is capped at the greater of your payments to Yelp over the prior 12 months or $100.
