DeepSeek’s aggregate liability has a payment-based cap
DeepSeek caps its aggregate liability under the Terms at the greater of $100 or the amount you paid for the service giving rise to the claim in the 12 months before liability arose. The cap applies only to the maximum extent allowed by law, and non-waivable consumer rights remain protected. The preceding intentional/gross-negligence exception expressly concerns excluded damages; this wording does not expressly repeat it for the aggregate cap.
