Last Updated: January 1, 2026

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern access to and use of the products, services, software, applications, websites, and related offerings provided by Arqiv, Inc. ("Arqiv", "we", "us", or "our") (collectively, the "Services").

By creating an account, accessing or using the Services, executing an Order Form (as defined below), or connecting a third-party integration (such as Square), you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Services.

If you are using the Services on behalf of an entity, you represent and warrant that you have authority to bind that entity to these Terms, and "you" and "your" refer to that entity.

1. Definitions

1.1 "Customer"

means an end user who accesses customer-facing features of the Services (including receipt viewing, offer viewing, and related functionality).

1.2 "Merchant"

means a business or organization that uses the Services in a merchant-facing capacity (including dashboards, analytics, receipt operations, offers, or integrations).

1.3 "Order Form"

means an ordering document, statement of work, pilot agreement, or similar instrument that references these Terms and describes the Services, fees (if any), and applicable commercial terms.

1.4 "Receipt Data"

means item-level receipt and transaction information and associated metadata that is processed by the Services, including line items, timestamps, location identifiers, order identifiers, and related fields, whether sourced from a point-of-sale system, email, uploads, APIs, or other permitted sources.

1.5 "Third-Party Services"

means external services and platforms that interoperate with the Services, including Square and other integrations, and any providers used to host, operate, or support the Services.

1.6 "Square"

2. Eligibility; Accounts; Access Controls

2.1 Eligibility.

You must be at least 18 years old and capable of forming a binding contract to use the Services.

2.2 Account Registration.

You agree to provide accurate and complete information when registering and to keep your account information current.

2.3 Account Security.

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your credentials and for all activity under your account. You will promptly notify Arqiv of any unauthorized access or use.

2.4 Role-Based Access and Tenant Scoping.

The Services may support different roles and permissions. Merchant data is logically scoped to the applicable merchant tenant. You agree not to attempt to access data outside of your authorized scope.

3. Use of the Services

3.1 Permitted Use.

Subject to these Terms, Arqiv grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable right to access and use the Services for your internal business purposes (Merchant) or personal use (Customer), as applicable.

3.2 Restrictions.

You will not, and will not permit any third party to:

  • access or use the Services in a manner that violates applicable law or regulation;
  • access, probe, scan, or test the vulnerability of the Services or any Arqiv systems without Arqiv's prior written authorization;
  • circumvent or attempt to circumvent access controls, tenant isolation boundaries, or authentication mechanisms;
  • reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the Services, except to the extent permitted by applicable law (and then only with prior notice to Arqiv to the extent permitted);
  • interfere with or disrupt the integrity or performance of the Services, including by transmitting malware or harmful code;
  • scrape, harvest, or extract data from the Services except as expressly authorized via the Services or documented APIs and applicable Order Forms;
  • use the Services to send unlawful, deceptive, or unsolicited communications, or to violate marketing and messaging laws.

3.3 Rate Limiting; Abuse Prevention.

Arqiv may implement throttling, rate limits, request caps, and other controls to protect the Services and users. Arqiv may suspend or restrict access in response to suspected abuse, security risk, or violations of these Terms.

4. Pilot / Pre-Release Services

4.1 Pilot Nature.

Some or all of the Services may be offered as pilot, beta, or pre-release functionality. You acknowledge and agree that pilot Services may be modified, discontinued, or changed without notice, and may be subject to limited support.

4.2 No SLA.

Unless expressly stated in an applicable Order Form, the Services are provided without any service level commitment during the pilot period.

4.3 Feedback.

If you provide feedback, suggestions, or ideas regarding the Services, you grant Arqiv a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free license to use, modify, and incorporate that feedback without compensation.

5. Third-Party Services and Integrations (Including Square)

5.1 Authorization.

If you connect a Third-Party Service, you authorize Arqiv to access, process, and store data made available through that integration as necessary to provide the Services. OAuth state parameters are validated using HMAC-SHA256 to prevent CSRF attacks.

5.2 Square Connectivity.

Square webhook events are verified using HMAC-SHA1 signature validation (as required by Square's API specification) to ensure authenticity and prevent forgery. If you authorize Square connectivity, the Services may receive transaction-related events via Square's APIs and/or webhooks, queue events for processing, and create derived records (including receipts and analytics) within your tenant.

5.3 Third-Party Terms.

Your use of any Third-Party Service is governed by that third party's terms and policies. Arqiv does not control Third-Party Services and is not responsible for their availability, security, performance, data accuracy, API changes, or outages.

6. Data Rights; Licenses; Ethical Use Commitments

As between you and Arqiv, you retain your rights in your data. Arqiv does not claim ownership over Receipt Data or other content you provide or that is processed on your behalf.

6.2 License to Operate.

You grant Arqiv a non-exclusive, worldwide license to host, store, process, transmit, and display Receipt Data and other content solely to:

  • provide, maintain, and support the Services;
  • perform normalization, assume reasonable transformations, and generate analytics within authorized scopes;
  • secure the Services, prevent fraud and abuse, enforce these Terms, and comply with applicable law; and
  • improve and develop the Services (subject to Section 6.4).

6.3 Merchant Responsibilities.

Merchants are responsible for ensuring their collection and use of customer data, and any communications (including email/SMS), comply with applicable laws (including consumer protection, privacy, and marketing laws) and that required notices and consents are provided and obtained.

6.4 Aggregated and De-Identified Data.

Arqiv may create and use aggregated and/or de-identified data derived from use of the Services for analytics, product improvement, and operational metrics, provided that such data does not reasonably identify an individual Customer or a specific Merchant.

6.5 No Sale of Identifiable Receipt Data to Data Brokers.

Arqiv does not sell identifiable Receipt Data to data brokers. If Arqiv introduces any advertising or sponsored offer functionality in the future, Arqiv will do so consistent with applicable law and will provide appropriate disclosures and controls.

6.6 Ethical Use.

Arqiv is committed to responsible handling of receipt data and will not knowingly use the Services to facilitate unlawful discrimination or harmful profiling.

7. Privacy

7.1 Privacy Policy.

Arqiv's collection and use of personal information is described in Arqiv's Privacy Policy (the "Privacy Policy"), which is incorporated by reference. If there is a conflict between these Terms and the Privacy Policy regarding personal information, the Privacy Policy governs.

Where available in the Services, Customers may have tools to access, export, or delete certain data. Arqiv will also respond to verified requests as required by applicable law.

8. Security

8.1 Security Measures.

Arqiv maintains administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect data processed through the Services, including access controls, encryption in transit (TLS 1.3), encryption at rest for sensitive data (AES-256-GCM for OAuth tokens), secure password hashing (scrypt), session management (30-minute idle timeout, 12-hour maximum duration), and monitoring/logging practices appropriate to the Services' risk profile.

Fees (if any) and payment terms are set forth in the applicable Order Form. For clarity, the Services may be provided at no cost during a pilot period, and may become paid thereafter pursuant to an Order Form.
