Guardline is not liable for indirect damages, lost profits, lost opportunity, data loss, or reputational harm.
14. Indemnification

The indemnification obligation includes reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs incurred by Guardline.
15. Suspension of Access
Guardline may suspend, in whole or in part, access to the Platform in case of breach of these Terms, the agreement, applicable law, or where there is a risk to the operation’s security.
Suspension for non-payment will take place following notice, in line with contractual timelines.
Suspension does not release the Customer from financial obligations assumed under the agreement.

Upon termination, access to the Platform will be deactivated and the Customer’s Data will be deleted within 30 days, except for retention obligations imposed by law.

The affected party must notify the other as soon as possible and make reasonable efforts to mitigate the effects of the event.
18. Changes to these Terms
Guardline may update these Terms from time to time to reflect legal, regulatory, technical, or business changes.
