Terms of Use

Please Read Carefully Before Using This Website: The following terms of service ("Terms of Use") govern your use of the ArcESB Website (the "Site") and any web-based hosted services downloaded or accessed through the Site (collectively referred to herein as "Service(s)"), all of which are operated by ArcESB, Llc. ("ArcESB" or "we"). By using the Site and/or the Service, you irrevocably agree that such use is subject to these Terms of Use. If you do not agree to these Terms of Use, you may not use the Site or the Service. If you are entering into these Terms of Use on behalf of an entity, you are binding such entity to these Terms of Use, you represent that you have the actual authority to bind such entity to these Terms of Use, and references to “you" mean such entity.

ArcESB expressly reserves the right to modify the Terms of Use at any time in its sole discretion by including such alteration and/or modification in these Terms of Use, along with a notice of the effective date of such modified Terms of Use. If a revision meaningfully reduces your rights, we will use reasonable efforts to notify you (by, for example, sending an email to the billing contact you designate in your User Account (as defined below), through your User Account or in the Service itself). To the extent you have purchased a subscription to the Service, the modified terms will be effective as to such subscription Service upon your next subscription renewal. In this case, if you object to the updated terms, as your exclusive remedy, you may choose not to renew, including cancelling any terms set to auto-renew. In all other cases, any continued use by you of the Site or the Service after the posting of such modified Terms of Use shall be deemed to indicate your irrevocable agreement to such modified Terms of Use. Accordingly, if at any time you do not agree to be subject to any modified Terms of Use, you may no longer use the Site or Service.
