LogisticsCo LLC. Seeks $50,000 for losses from a 36-hour data ingestion outage.
SolidEdge, Inc. Says its Terms of Use cap liability at $100.

Disclaimer: Decision Science Research Corporation d/b/a DecisionLayer provides arbitration services and technology; it is not a law firm, and its employees, agents, and AI systems are not acting as your attorneys. Legal standards regarding arbitration, the Federal Arbitration Act (FAA), and the enforceability of AI-generated awards are subject to change and vary by jurisdiction. You are advised to consult with qualified legal counsel to review your specific arbitral agreements and ensure compliance with local, state, and federal laws.
Arbitration awards rendered through DecisionLayer are intended to be binding and enforceable under the FAA, though individual court results may vary based on specific case facts and local jurisdictions. As specified by the DecisionLayer Rules and the applicable arbitration clause, DecisionLayer awards may be rendered by AI, a human arbitrator, or a combination of both. When a human arbitrator adjudicates a dispute, the human arbitrator is fully responsible for the content, execution and issuance of the award. In pure-AI proceedings, there may be no human review of the award. After any award is issued, either party may request a human appeal. Case Simulator results are for informational purposes only and may not be relied upon as binding predictions of legal outcomes. See our White Paper on Enforceability for more information.
