This limitation of liability provision establishes the maximum financial exposure YouTube accepts for service-related claims and defines which damage categories fall outside YouTube's responsibility. The cap creates a predictable upper bound on potential recovery that is either the prior 12 months of revenue received or $500, whichever is greater, which establishes the framework for dispute resolution and financial accountability under the agreement.
Users' recoverable damages in any claim against YouTube are restricted to either the revenue YouTube paid them in the preceding 12 months or $500 (whichever is greater), and certain damage categories such as lost profits, data loss, and consequential damages are excluded from recovery. This mechanism applies to all claims arising from or relating to the service unless applicable law requires otherwise.
