The exclusion removes the categories of damages that are typically the largest in technology-related disputes, significantly limiting what users can recover even if Zoom is found liable.
Interpretive note: The excerpt is cut off with an ellipsis after 'BUSINESS INTERRUPTION', so additional excluded damage categories or qualifying conditions may exist that could not be incorporated into the canonical claim.
The reader cannot recover special, incidental, indirect, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or damages for lost business profits or business interruption from Zoom or its affiliates, licensors, or suppliers.
