A visitor reading the small print no longer hits a dead end.

Anyone scrolling to the bottom of a Hackagon page sees three legal links. Pressing "Terms of Service" opened a new tab on datascience.ch and landed on a 404 — SDSC has no terms-of-service page, so there was nothing for that link to reach. It has been there on every public and signed-in page since the footer was rebuilt.

Now the bottom bar offers Privacy Policy and Impressum, both of which resolve. Nothing else in the footer changed.

datascience.ch/terms-of-service does not exist — SDSC's own footer has no
such page — so the link in our bottom bar sent every visitor who pressed
it to a 404. The other two legal links, Privacy Policy and Impressum, both
resolve and stay.

Removed rather than unlinked: a Terms of Service label with nothing behind
it reads as a promise the platform cannot keep, and it is neither
focusable nor explainable to a screen reader.
