8.Third-Party Service Providers
Certain services available through the platform are delivered by independent, approved third-party service providers rather than directly by us.

We will acknowledge your complaint within 2 business days and provide a resolution or update within 10 business days. Where a complaint is upheld, we will work with the provider to remediate the issue, which may include a partial refund, re-delivery of the service, or an alternative remedy at our discretion.
Our Services may also integrate with third-party platforms, including but not limited to payment processors (such as Tap Payments), hosting providers, and other business software providers. Use of any such third-party service is governed by their respective terms and policies, and we are not responsible for the availability, performance, or acts or omissions of third parties.
