8. Termination and suspension

You may stop using the Service at any time. We may suspend or terminate access if you violate these Terms, if required by law, or to protect the Service and other users.

After termination, you may lose access to published sites and stored content, subject to any export features and retention practices described in our Privacy Policy.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, The Obvious Builder will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits, revenues, data, or goodwill.

11. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. If changes are material, we will provide reasonable notice. Continued use of the Service after the effective date means you accept the updated Terms.

12. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of France, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Courts located in France will have jurisdiction over disputes, except where prohibited by law.
