For a material retirement, <strong>elyXion<\/strong> aims to provide at least <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">[NOTICE PERIOD]<\/span> notice and reasonable migration guidance. Shorter notice may be necessary for security, law, provider action, or circumstances outside control.<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">4. Third-party Lifecycle<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Microsoft, GitHub, HashiCorp, operating-system, open-source, and other provider lifecycles may determine <strong>elyXion<\/strong> support. <strong>elyXion<\/strong> cannot extend a provider&#8217;s support or prevent breaking changes. Customer plans should fund upgrades and migrations.<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">5. Security Exceptions<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><strong>elyXion<\/strong> may disable vulnerable protocols, cipher suites, integrations, credentials, or features with accelerated notice if continued operation creates material risk. Where practicable, an alternative will be offered.<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">6. Customer-managed Systems<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Customers are responsible for approving and funding lifecycle work for their systems. <strong>elyXion<\/strong> will identify known end-of-life risk within scope and may refuse unsafe changes or limit support for unsupported technology.<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">7. Data Portability<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Before retirement of an <strong>elyXion<\/strong>-hosted material feature, <strong>elyXion<\/strong> will describe available export options where applicable. Exports may exclude derived telemetry, internal security data, licensed third-party content, and <strong>elyXion<\/strong> intellectual property.<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">8. Portal changes<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Portal interface, reports, dashboards, APIs, and integrations may evolve. <strong>elyXion<\/strong> will seek to avoid unnecessary breaking changes. Published APIs, if any, may use versioning and sunset dates.<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">9. Preview Services<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Preview services may be suspended or withdrawn at any time, may process data differently, and should not host critical or regulated workloads unless specifically approved. Feedback is welcome but roadmap commitments are not created by preview access.<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">10. Extended Support<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Where technically and legally feasible, <strong>elyXion<\/strong> may offer temporary extended support under a separate SOW.
