5. Use of the Platform

5.1 Fondazione Collegio Europeo di Parma makes the Platform available 24/7. However, given the current state of the website, no procedure can guarantee that the software is entirely error-free. Therefore, Fondazione Collegio Europeo di Parma does not guarantee that the software underlying the Platform is completely free of errors or that the Platform will not experience interruptions. Additionally, the Platform may be temporarily unavailable for maintenance reasons. Fondazione Collegio Europeo di Parma will announce possible planned Platform maintenance; it is however not bound to update the Platform.
