9. Service availability

We target 99.9% monthly uptime for paid plans. Scheduled maintenance is performed during low-traffic windows with advance notice. Service status is available at /status. We are not liable for downtime caused by third-party infrastructure (AWS, Stripe) or events outside our reasonable control.

10. Intellectual property

pdf-deploy and its logos, UI design, and underlying software are our intellectual property. You may not copy, reverse-engineer, or create derivative works of the Service. We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to use the Service for your internal business purposes.

11. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, pdf-deploy's total liability for any claim arising from your use of the Service shall not exceed the greater of (a) the amount you paid us in the 12 months preceding the claim, or (b) £100. We are not liable for indirect, consequential, incidental, or punitive damages, or loss of profits or data.

12. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless pdf-deploy from any claims, losses, or damages arising from: your violation of these Terms; your Content; your use of the Service in violation of applicable law; or your infringement of any third-party rights.

13. Termination

• You may close your account at any time from account settings. All data is deleted within 30 days.

15. Changes to these Terms

We will give 30 days' notice of material changes by email and/or in-app notice. Continued use of the Service after the effective date constitutes acceptance. If you do not agree to revised Terms, you may cancel your account before the effective date.
