## The full answer

Internet connectivity is part of the trader's responsibility.

Use sensible risk management so that a temporary disconnection does not automatically place your entire account at risk.

## Explained in full

- [Breach Rules Explained](https://getfundednow.com/rules/breach-and-what-happens) - The rule, explained - A hard breach closes the account and cannot be reversed by a later recovery. A soft breach is corrected rather than fatal. Which is which, by programme.

## Related questions

- [I closed the bad trade immediately. Does that remove a breach?](https://getfundednow.com/faq/closing-the-trade-after-a-breach) - Breaches & edge cases - No. If a hard breach occurred before the trade was closed, closing it afterwards does not reverse that breach.
- [The market gapped through my stop loss. Which price is used?](https://getfundednow.com/faq/market-gapped-through-my-stop-loss) - Breaches & edge cases - The execution conditions available in the trading environment. A stop loss does not guarantee execution at the exact requested price in fast or gapping markets.
- [Can I ask Support for special treatment because I was extremely close to passing?](https://getfundednow.com/faq/can-i-ask-for-special-treatment) - Breaches & edge cases - No. The rules need to be applied consistently.
- [Can GFN change my account rules after I've purchased?](https://getfundednow.com/faq/can-gfn-change-my-rules-after-purchase) - Breaches & edge cases - The rules applying to your account are governed by the applicable program terms and GFN Terms & Conditions.

## More answers on breach rules explained

- [What if the breach was caused by a technical issue?](https://getfundednow.com/faq/breach-caused-by-a-technical-issue) - Contact Support immediately with as much evidence as possible.
- [What is a hard breach?](https://getfundednow.com/faq/what-is-a-hard-breach) - A serious rule violation that fails or terminates the account - exceeding the Daily Loss Limit or Maximum Drawdown, for example.
- [What is a soft breach?](https://getfundednow.com/faq/what-is-a-soft-breach) - A soft breach is a rule violation that may result in a trade being closed or other corrective action without automatically terminating the entire account.
