14. Warranty Disclaimer & Data Loss

The Adhyora Service is provided on an "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE" basis.

16. Force Majeure

Pixelaks Technologies shall not be liable for any delay or failure to perform its obligations under these Terms if such delay or failure is caused by events beyond our reasonable control, including but not limited to internet backbone outages, cloud hosting failures (e.g., Google Firebase outages), natural disasters, strikes, or government actions.

17. Discontinuation of Service

Pixelaks Technologies reserves the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue the Adhyora Service at any time, with reasonable prior notice to the Institution.
