The clause operates to restrict the damages recoverable in any legal proceeding against ZipRecruiter by excluding entire categories of losses—including lost profits, data loss, and goodwill—that might otherwise be available under applicable law. This limitation applies across all potential liability theories and situations enumerated in the clause.
Users who experience losses from service disruptions, third-party misconduct on the platform, or data-related incidents are restricted in the damages they may recover to direct damages only, excluding consequential, punitive, and other indirect loss categories. The provision applies regardless of whether ZipRecruiter had notice of the possibility of such damages or the legal basis on which a claim is brought.
