8. Room Administration

Room creators have administrative control over their rooms, including the ability to:

• Set rooms as public or private
• Remove participants from rooms
• Modify room settings and layout
• Enable or disable features (chat, video, whiteboard)

Room administrators are responsible for enforcing acceptable use within their rooms.

9. Service Availability

We strive for high availability but do not guarantee uninterrupted access. The Service may be temporarily unavailable due to maintenance, updates, or circumstances beyond our control. We will make reasonable efforts to notify users of planned downtime.

10. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Huddly shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits or revenue, whether incurred directly or indirectly, or any loss of data, use, goodwill, or other intangible losses.

We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. We will provide notice of material changes at least 30 days before they take effect. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance of the new Terms.
