safe harbour
Sheltered port area
Safe harbour (also safe harbor) is protection from liability or penalty under specified conditions.
In law and regulation, a safe harbour provision shields parties who meet certain requirements from prosecution or lawsuit: The platform claimed safe harbour because it removed infringing content promptly.
The term extends from the literal sense—a sheltered port where ships can anchor without danger from storms.
