ArcGabriel — Terms of Service
Version 1.0 — August 2026
These Terms are a contract between you (the business subscribing, "you", "the
Client") and ArcGabriel ("we", "us", "the Service"), operated by Philip Martin.
By signing during onboarding you agree to them. Please read them; they are
written to be readable.
1. What the Service is — and is not
ArcGabriel is automated marketing software. It audits your website, proposes and
executes a search-engine optimisation strategy, designs social media content,
publishes it to accounts you connect, and reports monthly on the work done and
the results measured.
We do not and cannot guarantee search rankings, traffic levels, or revenue.
No honest provider can: search engines are controlled by their operators, not
by us. What we commit to is the work itself — executed, logged, and reported
to you every month with real numbers, never invented ones.
2. Your account
You get an account for your business. Keep your password secret; you are
responsible for activity under your account. We may block an account that we
reasonably believe is compromised or being used in breach of these Terms, and
will tell you if we do.
3. Subscriptions, payment and cancellation
- Plans and prices are as shown at checkout, exclusive of VAT.
- Monthly plans: you can cancel at any time. Your subscription runs to the
end of the period already paid, which is your only minimum commitment, and
does not renew after that.
- Annual plans: you pay for a year at a discount; the plan runs to the end
of the paid year and renews unless cancelled before renewal.
- Payment is taken by card through Stripe, our payment processor. If a payment
fails we retry and email you before restricting the account.
- Prices may change; we give at least 30 days' notice, and changes never apply
to a period you have already paid for.
- Statutory cancellation: where a 14-day cooling-off right applies to you, you
may cancel within 14 days of first subscribing for a refund, less a
proportionate charge for service already delivered with your agreement.
4. What we need from you
The Service needs truthful information about your business, access you choose
to grant (for example your website platform or social accounts), and materials
you upload. You confirm that whatever you provide is yours to provide — that
uploads don't infringe anyone's rights, and that connected accounts are yours
to connect. You remain responsible for your business's own legal compliance
(for example, the accuracy of claims about your own products).
5. Content the Service produces
Content generated for you (posts, articles, reports) is yours to use once your
subscription for the relevant period is paid. You are responsible for content
you approve for publication: the Service drafts and, where you enable it,
publishes — but it acts under your standing instruction, and you can pause
publishing or switch to approve-first mode at any time.
6. Your data, deletion, and the recovery window
- You can delete any file you upload. Deleted files disappear from your
account immediately. **For your protection they are retained by us, marked
for deletion, for 90 days** — so an accidental deletion can be reversed on
request — and are then erased permanently and automatically. You may
request immediate permanent erasure instead, and we will honour it.
- On cancellation, your data is retained for 90 days (so you can return or
export), then erased, except records we must keep by law (for example
invoices) and the signed copy of these Terms.
- Full details of how we handle personal data are in the Privacy Policy, which
forms part of this agreement.
7. Acceptable use
You may not use the Service for anything unlawful, deceptive, or harmful:
including sites or content promoting illegal goods or services, infringing
others' rights, or attempting to manipulate the Service itself. We may decline
or stop serving content or sites that would put us in breach of law, platform
rules (for example Meta's terms), or advertising standards — and will tell you
why.
8. Service availability and changes
We aim for continuous operation but do not promise uninterrupted availability.
We back up data daily. We may improve or change features; if a change
materially reduces what you pay for, you may cancel and receive a
proportionate refund for the unused paid period.
9. Liability
Nothing in these Terms excludes liability that cannot lawfully be excluded
(including for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or fraud).
Subject to that:
- We are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, loss of profit, or
loss of business opportunity.
- Our total liability arising from or connected with the Service in any
12-month period is capped at the amount you paid us in that period.
- We are not liable for decisions of third parties — including search engines
ranking or de-ranking pages and social platforms restricting accounts —
though we will always work within their published rules.
10. Governing law and jurisdiction
These Terms are governed by the law of England and Wales, and its courts have
exclusive jurisdiction — **wherever you subscribe from, you agree the Service
operates under UK law and regulation.** If you subscribe as a consumer in a
jurisdiction giving you mandatory local rights, those rights are unaffected.
11. Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms; material changes are notified by email at least 30
days before they take effect, and the version you signed remains available,
unaltered and verifiable, in your account.
