ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

Because the cap defaults to the lesser of the two figures, users who paid little or nothing can recover no more than $10 regardless of the harm suffered.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

The reader's ability to recover damages from ZipRecruiter is capped at a very low ceiling, potentially as little as $10.
