Terms of Use

By using the sitearcade.com website or any service provided by SiteArcade Inc. (DBA SiteArcade), you agree to be bound by the following Terms of Service.

SiteArcade reserves the right to update and change the Terms of Service from time to time without notice. Any new features that augment or enhance the current service, including the release of new tools and resources, shall be subject to the Terms of Service. Continued use of our service after any such changes shall constitute your consent to such changes.

Definitions

When we say “company,” "we," “our,” "us," or “SiteArcade” in this document, we are referring to the legal entity SiteArcade Inc., a Texas corporation (DBA SiteArcade).

When we say “you,” "your," or “user,” we’re referring to the account holder using one or more of our services. This will always be a specific individual with specific log-in info, not a business entity or collective.

And lastly, when we say “service” or “services,” we mean any product created and maintained by SiteArcade Inc. This includes our author website hosting plans, but will perhaps include other products in the future.

User Account

You must be a human. Accounts registered by “bots” or other automated methods are not permitted.

You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account and password. SiteArcade cannot and will not be liable for any loss or damage from your failure to comply with this security obligation.

You are responsible for all content posted and activity that occurs under your account. That includes content posted by others who either: (a) have access to your login credentials; or (b) have their own logins under your account.

You may not use the website for any illegal or unauthorized purpose. You must not, in the use of our service, violate any laws in your jurisdiction (including but not limited to copyright laws).

The SiteArcade site accreditation link is included with each website installation.

Payments & Subscriptions

If you are using a free version of one of our services, it is really free: we do not ask you for your credit card and and we do not sell your data.

If you are upgrading from a free plan to a paid plan, we will charge your card immediately and your billing cycle starts on the day of upgrade.

If you upgrade plans mid-billing cycle, we will immediately charge you the difference. If you downgrade plans mid-billing cycle, we will credit the difference in price toward future payments.

All fees are exclusive of all taxes, levies, or duties imposed by taxing authorities. Where required, we will collect those taxes on behalf of the taxing authority and remit those taxes to taxing authorities. Otherwise, you are responsible for payment of all taxes, levies, or duties.

We sometimes change the pricing structure for our products. In some circumstances, we will allow old accounts to continue using the previous pricing structure. In other cases, we may require all users to switch. In the latter case, we will give at least 30 days notice via the email address on record.

Cancellation & Refunds

You are solely responsible for properly canceling your account using the cancellation link within the app.

After cancellation, your service will continue until the end of the billing cycle. All content will remain privately accessible for at least 30 days after your final billing period ends.

If we serve as your domain registrar, we will immediately unlock your domain. You will have until the domain name expires to transfer it to a different registrar. If you don’t transfer it in time, the domain will expire, and you’ll have to register it again somewhere else.

After you have cancelled your plan, you may contact us for a refund. We grant prorated refunds based on the amount of time remaining on your plan, on the one condition that you explain what we could have done better, so that we can improve our service for future users. In the event of a refund, service will terminate immediately, rather than at the end of the billing period.

User Content

You retain all copyright to all original content you add to our service. You may export or remove it from our service at any time.

We may, but have no obligation to, remove content and accounts containing content that we determine in our sole discretion are unlawful, offensive, threatening, libelous, defamatory, pornographic, obscene or otherwise objectionable or violates any party’s intellectual property or this Terms of Service.

(If you are a copyright owner, or authorized on behalf of one, and you believe that the copyrighted work has been infringed upon, you may contact us. Note that you may be held accountable for damages, including costs and attorneys’ fees, for misrepresenting that any content is infringing upon your copyright.)

When submitting feedback to us (e.g. complaints, testimonials, bug reports, feature requests, support requests, and other similar content), you agree to grant SiteArcade non-exclusive, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty free, worldwide right and license to use, reproduce, disclose, sub-license, distribute, modify and exploit such Feedback without restriction.

Modification to Services

SiteArcade reserves the right at any time and from time to time to modify or discontinue, temporarily or permanently, our service (or any part thereof) with or without notice.

SiteArcade shall not be liable to you or to any third party for any modification, price change, suspension or discontinuance of our service.

Termination of Service

We reserve the right to terminate or suspend your account at any time. Suspension means you and any other users on your account will not be able to access the account or any content in the account. Termination will furthermore result in the deletion of your account or your access to your account, and the forfeiture and relinquishment of all content in your account.

Similarly, if we find you are in violation of the laws in any particular jurisdiction, we reserve the right to block access to our services within the confines of that jurisdiction.

(If you believe a user is in violation of these terms, you can report them by contacting us.)
