5) Staff and scanner controls
- Businesses are responsible for staff account governance and credential security.

- Business users must keep that data confidential and use it only for authorised operational purposes.
- Businesses remain responsible for their own legal compliance when acting as independent controllers outside platform scope.
7) Platform intervention and liability boundaries
- Club SoBo may edit, hide, suspend, or remove offers/accounts for legal, fraud, safety, or policy reasons.
