SECURITY
The Services are provided by us from data center facilities to which Users have remote access via the internet in conjunction with certain offline components provided by us under this Agreement. We may use third party service providers to provide limited parts of the Services from time to time, including data storage and processing, and you consent to us subcontracting these services to those third parties.

NETWORKS
Technical processing and transmission of the Service, including Client Content, may involve: (i) transmissions over various networks; and/or (ii) changes to conform and adapt to technical requirements of connecting networks or devices.

We do not guarantee the privacy, security or authenticity of any content, data or information transmitted over or stored in any system connected to the internet.
MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS
We use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that availability of the Services will be uninterrupted and that transmissions will be error-free. However, due to the nature of the internet, this cannot be guaranteed. Also, your access to Services may be occasionally suspended or restricted to allow for repairs, maintenance or the introduction of new facilities or services. We will attempt to limit the frequency and duration of any such suspension or restriction, and we will use commercially reasonable efforts to alert or notify you in the event of any scheduled or non-scheduled suspension of Services. Due to the nature of technical outages, we cannot guarantee notice prior to unplanned outages. We will not be held responsible for any delay or failure to comply with our obligations under these conditions if the delay or failure arises from any cause which is beyond our reasonable control.
