9. Limitation of Liability

ShiftView is provided “as is” without warranties of any kind. We are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from the use of the platform. Our maximum liability is limited to the fees paid for the specific service period in question.

10. Service Availability

We strive to maintain high platform availability but do not guarantee uninterrupted service. Scheduled maintenance, third-party service disruptions (including WhatsApp API), or unforeseen circumstances may temporarily affect availability.
