1. Platform Lifecycle Overview

The CrownThrive Ecosystem evolves regularly. Platforms may:

  • Launch publicly or privately (beta or full rollout)
  • Merge with another platform or be rebranded
  • Be temporarily paused for internal updates
  • Be permanently retired (“sunset”) for strategic or operational reasons

All lifecycle changes are governed by this policy and subject to ecosystem-wide terms.

2. Platform Launch Policy

When CrownThrive launches a new platform:

  • Terms of Use and relevant Addenda are published or updated
  • Users are notified via the website, support portal, or onboarding process
  • The platform is added to the Legal Depot and Ecosystem Index
  • Founding users may receive bonus perks, priority access, or credits
  • Beta users are informed of feature limitations, bugs, and test-phase status

All users who access newly launched platforms are bound to the current CrownThrive Master Terms and Privacy Policy.

3. Platform Rebrand or Merge Policy

When platforms are merged, restructured, or rebranded:

  • All active users are notified with a 14-day transition notice
  • URLs, dashboards, and accounts may be redirected to the new platform
  • Access credentials and billing details may carry over
  • Terms and conditions from both platforms are honored unless replaced
  • All branding, documentation, and user records are updated in the Legal Depot
