20. Elite Access During Development

20.1 Elite Access Provision:

During periods of development, enhancement, or maintenance of the Uhive platform ("Development Phase"), Uhive reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to activate an Elite Access mode. This mode may restrict regular user access to certain features or the entirety of the Uhive Network.

20.2 Access Options:

Users may gain immediate access to the Elite Access mode by either: (a) Paying an access fee of $4.99; or (b) Utilizing a designated Access Token, subject to availability and conditions set by Uhive.

20.3 General Queue and Waiting Period:

Users not opting for Elite Access may be placed in a general queue, experiencing a waiting period before access is restored. The duration of this waiting period is subject to the scope and necessity of the Development Phase.

20.4 Rationale and Notification:

The activation of Elite Access serves to ensure platform stability and integrity during significant updates or developments. It allows for controlled user flow and system testing without overburdening the network.

Uhive commits to providing reasonable advance notice to all users regarding the commencement of Elite Access periods, including details on access options and expected durations.

20.5 Account Suspension and Tokens:

Uhive may, at its discretion, temporarily suspend user accounts for the duration of the Development Phase. This suspension is deemed necessary for the completion of development activities and ensuring a seamless user experience post-update.

Any Uhive tokens held within suspended accounts will remain secure and inaccessible until the account's access is restored. The maximum suspension period will not exceed six (6) months, after which full access will be reinstated, along with any tokens held.

20.6 User Acknowledgement:

By continuing to use the Uhive platform, users acknowledge and accept the potential activation of Elite Access mode, the conditions for access during such periods, and the temporary suspension of accounts if deemed necessary by Uhive.

Uhive reserves the right to amend the terms of Elite Access, including fees, token access conditions, and suspension terms, with reasonable notice provided to all users.

Uhive will notify you at least 20 Business Days in advance of any changes to the Terms by sending an email with details of the changes or notifying you of the change when you next access the Network.

27.2 No partnership or agency. Nothing in these Terms is intended to, or shall be deemed to, establish any partnership or joint venture between you or us, constitute either you or us as the agent of the other party, or authorise you or us to make or enter into any commitments for or on behalf of any other party. You confirm you are acting on your own behalf and not for the benefit of any other person.

27.3 Entire agreement.
