We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms.

4. Accuracy of Information

Charging station data displayed on ChargeLocations is aggregated from the Open Charge Map community database. We do not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or real-time availability of any charging station information.

**Always verify station availability before traveling.** Stations may be offline, removed, or have changed specifications since data was last updated. ChargeLocations is not liable for any inconvenience or damages resulting from reliance on inaccurate station data.

5. Business Claims
