9.4. EchoTip's total liability to the Streamer shall not exceed the subscription fees paid for the last 3 months.

EchoTip does not control and bears no responsibility for the activities of Streamers or for any content they publish or broadcast, including but not limited to: - text, images, audio, video and other materials on a Streamer's page, in their broadcasts and in donation messages displayed via the overlay; - the statements, conduct and actions of a Streamer towards Donors or third parties; - any goods, services, promises or rewards offered by a Streamer; - the lawfulness of a Streamer's activity and their compliance with tax and other legislation.
Streamers publish and broadcast content independently and at their sole responsibility. EchoTip merely provides the technical means of display and is not the author, publisher or moderator of such content. Any complaints relating to a Streamer's content, actions or conduct shall be addressed directly to that Streamer.
9.6. EchoTip may carry out scheduled and unscheduled maintenance during which the Service or certain features may be temporarily unavailable.

13.1. After each subscription payment, the Streamer receives an electronic self-employed/sole-trader receipt via Russia's Federal Tax Service. We recommend saving copies of these receipts (or the email delivering them from YooKassa) until the end of the paid period and the statutory tax review window (typically 3 years). This simplifies dispute resolution and tax filings.
14.1. EchoTip applies technical measures to protect user data (see Privacy Policy), but account security also depends on the user's actions. We recommend:
- using a unique password of at least 12 characters; - enabling two-factor authentication wherever possible (in the connected OAuth services - YouTube, Telegram, YooKassa); - not sharing sign-in credentials with third parties; - checking the site address (echotip.app) before entering credentials; - using up-to-date browser and operating system versions.
14.2. If you suspect unauthorised access, change your password immediately and contact [email protected].
