3.1 Description of the Service
Draft offers a Service, Draft.io, a web application for visual collaboration that is designed to allow Users to create, collaborate and centralize communication through interactive online virtual visual documents.

In this respect, Draft does its best to ensure that the Platform and the Service are available 24 hours a day and 7 days a week, except (i) in a Force Majeure Event or unpredictable and insurmountable behavior of a third party, (ii) in unavailability due to the weakness or absence of coverage of Internet access networks by the User’s access provider, or (iii) in the event of breakdowns and maintenance interventions and updates necessary for the proper functioning of the Platform and the provision of the Service.
