8.7 Third-Party Service Providers

Omega Technology may utilise third-party platforms, software, hosting providers, and infrastructure to build, deploy, and maintain client websites and digital assets. These services are operated independently by third parties and are outside the control of Omega Technology.

While Omega Technology selects service providers believed to be reliable, we do not guarantee the ongoing availability, performance, or continued operation of any third-party platform or hosting provider.

Clients acknowledge that third-party platforms may change, discontinue services, or cease operations without notice. Where reasonably possible, Omega Technology may assist in migrating or rebuilding affected websites to alternative platforms; however, such services may be subject to additional fees and timelines.

By engaging Omega Technology's services, clients agree that reliance on third-party platforms and hosting infrastructure is an inherent part of modern web development and accept the associated risks.
