Terms of Service & Community Guidelines

Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using the Service Disruption Alerts ("SDA") platform, you agree to comply with and be bound by these Terms of Service and Community Guidelines. If you do not agree, do not use the platform.

Purpose of SDA

SDA is a community‑driven platform that enables consumers and businesses to post, view, and discuss information about service disruptions, outages, delays, and maintenance issues. SDA is an information‑sharing platform only and does not guarantee accuracy, service restoration, or outcomes.

Eligibility & Accounts

You must be at least 18 years old (or the age of majority in your jurisdiction) to use SDA. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account and for all activity conducted under it.

User Content

You retain ownership of the content you post. By posting on SDA, you grant SDA a non‑exclusive, worldwide, royalty‑free license to display, store, distribute, and archive your content for platform operation.

Prohibited Conduct

You may not:

  • Post false, misleading, defamatory, or malicious information
  • Harass, threaten, impersonate, or abuse others
  • Post spam, advertising, or unrelated promotional content
  • Share private, confidential, or sensitive personal data
  • Attempt to disrupt, damage, or misuse the platform
  • Violate any applicable laws or regulations

Business & Verified Partner Responsibilities

Verified partners must post accurate, good‑faith service updates, use the platform solely for service‑related communications, and interact professionally with users. SDA may grant or revoke verification at its discretion.

Moderation & Enforcement

SDA reserves the right to monitor, review, remove, restrict, or disable content or accounts that violate these Terms, with or without notice.

Disclaimers

The platform is provided "as is" and "as available." SDA makes no warranties regarding the accuracy, reliability, or timeliness of alerts or user content.

Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, SDA is not liable for any direct or indirect damages resulting from the use of or reliance on the platform.

Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless SDA and its affiliates from claims arising out of your use of the platform or violation of these Terms.

Changes & Termination

SDA may update these Terms at any time and may suspend or terminate access for violations, legal requirements, or operational reasons. Continued use constitutes acceptance of updated Terms.

Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the jurisdiction in which SDA is incorporated.
