15. EVENTS OUTSIDE OF OUR CONTROL

- If an Event Outside Our Control occurs, our obligations under this Agreement will be suspended for the duration of the event, and the time for performance will be extended accordingly.
- We will take reasonable steps to mitigate the impact of any Event Outside Our Control, including seeking alternative arrangements or service providers where practical. However, we do not guarantee the continuation or restoration of Services during such events.
16. ACCOUNT SUSPENSION AND TERMINATION
- This Agreement begins when you start using the Platform and remains in force until:

- After 30 days, we may permanently delete your data, unless we are legally required to retain it.
- We reserve the right to suspend, restrict, or permanently terminate your Account — with or without notice — if, in our reasonable opinion:
- You breach this Agreement, including any Fanvue Policies, such as the Acceptable Use Policy, Community Guidelines, Creator Terms, or Ancillary Terms;
- You engage in payment, refund, or chargeback abuse;
- Your behaviour poses a risk to other Users, our systems, or the public (e.g. fraud, harassment, content violation, or platform harm);

- We discontinue the Services or any part thereof.
- Upon termination for any reason:
- Your access to Paid-for Services, content, and features is immediately revoked;

- Attempt to circumvent enforcement via technical or social methods. We may implement technical or investigative measures to detect and block such behaviour.
- If you believe your Account was suspended or terminated in error, you may submit a reinstatement request:
- Send a written request within 14 days of notice to support@fanvue.com;
- Include a clear explanation and any supporting evidence;
- We will review the request in good faith and may request additional information;
- A response will typically be issued within 10 Business Days, though this is not guaranteed;
- Reinstatement is at our sole discretion. Submitting a request does not guarantee reinstatement, and duplicate or abusive submissions may be disregarded;
- If reinstated, your Account may be subject to additional monitoring or limitations.
- You acknowledge and agree that we are not obligated — and may not be permitted — to disclose the specific reasons for any suspension, restriction, or termination. We may choose to provide general guidance, but we are not required to do so. This includes cases where disclosure could:
- Jeopardise investigations or platform integrity;
- Violate another User’s privacy;
- Breach legal or regulatory obligations;
- Reveal enforcement mechanisms that could be exploited.
- The following provisions survive termination of your Account or this Agreement:
- Sections relating to Warranties and Disclaimers (Section 13), Limitations on Liability (Section 14), Force Majeure (Section 15), and Intellectual Property (Section 10);
- Any rights, obligations, or policies that by their nature are intended to survive termination, including those related to refunds, moderation, dispute resolution, and data protection.
