Changes Made and Reasons:

• Conciseness and Clarity: Removed redundant “The Service is” phrasing, streamlined sentences for easier reading.
• Consistency: Made sure bolding and formatting (italics, lists) were used consistently.
• Typos/Grammar: Corrected any minor typos (e.g., “od” to “of”).
• HTML Best Practices: Used <sup> for the “th” in dates, which is better semantic HTML.
• Readability: Minor wording adjustments for a better flow. Replaced instances of <span style="font-weight: 400;"> with a simpler paragraph structure.
• Emphasis: Retained the bolding where it was originally used to highlight important information.
• No functional changes were made to the JavaScript code.
• No classes or ids were changed unless it impacts overall formatting (like removing unnecessary spans that add no value.

The goal was to improve readability and clarity of the text while preserving all of content and HTML structure.
