When the Manifold Market's servers cease operations permanently, preventing users from placing bets, I will consider Manifold to be defunct—even if viewing the markets is still possible.
Should Manifold Markets undergo a name change or be acquired by another company, I will regard the successor as the entity for resolution, provided the core functionality of placing bets on markets remains intact
@Mira this market resists that issue:

@Mira I suppose Manifold could allow resolving existing markets and directing donations to charity but not placing bets.
@MartinRandall it's how most prediction markets shut down.. they stop allowing new bets and just slowly wind down operations
