1. Service Description
Farm 6 Hosting provides managed web hosting and related services. While we aim for 100% uptime, we cannot guarantee that our service will be uninterrupted or error-free due to the nature of the internet and hardware.

- Content: You retain full ownership of your website content. You agree not to host content that is illegal in Canada, including but not limited to: malware, phishing sites, pirated software, or hate speech.
- Backups: While we perform daily server backups for disaster recovery, you are ultimately responsible for your own data. We recommend keeping a local copy of your website files. F6M Hosting is not liable for data loss caused by user error, plugin malfunctions, or malicious attacks.
