  • Service degradation of some parts of the SwipeGuide platform, like reduced speed of (up)loading content or sharing of guides.
  • Issues related to third party apps or caused by third parties.
  • Network problems external to our systems that are beyond our control.
  • Scheduled downtime for platform maintenance (we will inform you as soon as necessary).
  • There is a force majeure causing our services to be interrupted (e.g. forces of nature or power outages).
  • Issues caused by the customer due to non-compliance with the fair use policy, as described in the SaaS Agreement.
