Force Majeure: Coderblock shall not be liable for any failure or delay in performing its obligations under these T&C to the extent that such failure or delay results from circumstances beyond Coderblock's reasonable control, including but not limited to acts of God, natural disasters, war, terrorism, riots, embargoes, acts of civil or military authorities, fire, floods, epidemics, pandemics, strikes, or failures of third-party telecommunications or power supply.

Notices: All notices required or permitted under these T&C shall be in writing and shall be deemed given when delivered personally, sent by confirmed email, or sent by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, to the addresses specified in Art. 2 or to such other address as either party may specify in writing.

Material changes will be notified to Users through the Platform, email, or other appropriate communication channels at least 30 days before they take effect.
