Third-party services are governed by their own terms.
Their:

may change.
The Platform Provider cannot guarantee continued availability of a third-party service.
Where significant third-party changes require redevelopment, additional work may be chargeable unless covered by the Client's maintenance agreement.
20.Maps, routes and estimates

These should be treated as estimates.
Actual travel may vary because of:

The Transport Operator and Driver remain responsible for safe route selection.

Clients are responsible for:
- protecting passwords;
- controlling administrator access;
- creating appropriate user roles;
- removing former staff;

25.Backups
Backup services apply only where specifically included.
Where backups are included, they are intended as a recovery measure, not a permanent archive.
The Platform Provider cannot guarantee that every backup will be capable of restoring every item of data under every circumstance.
Clients with critical legal or business records should maintain independent copies where appropriate.
26.Software availability
We aim to provide a reliable platform but do not promise 100% uninterrupted uptime unless a separate written Service Level Agreement expressly provides such guarantee.
Planned maintenance may occasionally be necessary.

A demo may contain:

A feature shown in a concept or demonstration should not be considered included in a Client's purchase unless it is specified in the accepted quotation or agreement.

- suspend support;
- suspend optional services;
- suspend hosting;
- suspend access under a rental/licence model;
- withhold new development;
- terminate the relevant service after appropriate notice.

Where a Client has purchased a standalone installation, termination of maintenance or hosting does not automatically transfer ownership of the Taxi OS intellectual property.

The Client's rights to use the installed software continue only to the extent provided by the applicable licence or commercial agreement.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability where exclusion or limitation is prohibited by law, including liability for fraud or other liability that cannot lawfully be excluded.

- transport services;
- drivers;
- vehicles;

This does not apply to the extent a claim is caused directly by the Platform Provider's own legally established breach or wrongdoing.
