Services

You may request ArkSec, LLC to perform a non-intrusive scan of your email address to identify potential data breaches using publicly available and proprietary data. Even when ArkSec, LLC provides this service free of charge, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Use. You may subscribe to our paid service for 24/7 email monitoring and breach alerts. If you request this paid service, you understand that ArkSec's technology, employees, and/or contractors may access and analyze additional data sources (including non-public breach databases) to provide alerts, and you authorize such access and analysis. We do not guarantee the timeliness, accuracy, or completeness of breach detection, and results may include false positives or negatives. Additional premium features, such as priority alerts or detailed breach reports, may be available as part of specific subscription plans. Subscriptions auto-renew at the end of each billing cycle unless canceled at least 5 days prior to renewal via your account settings. No refunds are provided for partial billing periods unless required by law. If you are on a plan that includes an annual comprehensive breach report (e.g., “Premium Plan”), you are eligible for this report only if you maintain an active subscription for the entire billing year. If you cancel your subscription or terminate your account before the end of the billing year, you will not be eligible for the annual report.

Security and Privacy

We use reasonable security controls but do not store personal data beyond what's needed for our services. You are responsible for securing your account credentials. Unauthorized use of the System to compromise security is prohibited.

Content You Share

By submitting email addresses or other data, you grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to use, process, and display it to provide our services. This license ends when you delete your account.

Third-Party Content and Links

The System may include third-party links or data. We are not responsible for their accuracy, security, or availability.

Copyright and Trademarks

All System content (excluding user submissions) is owned by ArkSec, LLC or licensed to us, protected by U.S. and international copyright laws. “ArkSec” and related marks are our trademarks; no license is granted beyond System use.

Warranties and Disclaimers

The System is provided “AS IS.” We disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or uninterrupted operation. We do not guarantee breach detection accuracy or completeness.

Limitations on Liability

Our liability is limited to the lesser of the amount you paid for services or $100. We are not liable for indirect, consequential, or incidental damages, even if advised of their possibility, including losses from undetected breaches or data exposure.

Governing Law

These Terms are governed by Delaware law. Disputes must be resolved in Delaware courts, with a one-year statute of limitations from the claim's arising.

Dispute Resolution

Disputes must first be addressed informally for 60 days via notice to [email protected]. Unresolved disputes go to binding arbitration under the Federal Arbitration Act, conducted in Delaware, with no class actions permitted. You waive jury trials and class action rights.
