These Terms, together with our [Privacy Policy](https://www.supachef.app/privacy) and [Community Guidelines](https://www.supachef.app/community), constitute the entire agreement between you and us regarding SupaChef and supersede any prior agreements.

### Force Majeure

We are not liable for any failure to perform our obligations due to circumstances beyond our reasonable control, including natural disasters, government actions, or technical failures.
