Data protection is a shared responsibility, and we aim to maintain a safe digital environment through ethical and secure practices.

12Platform Availability & Downtime

We strive to keep the platform accessible at all times. However, occasional maintenance, updates, or unexpected technical issues may cause temporary downtime.

We aim to communicate maintenance schedules whenever possible, and we work continuously to improve system stability. Users acknowledge that perfect uptime cannot be guaranteed and agree not to claim damages for temporary service interruptions.

13Modification of Services

The Bridge reserves the right to modify, enhance, restrict, or discontinue any program, feature, or service at its discretion.
