Terms of Service

Effective Date: March 1, 2026 | Last Updated: March 18, 2026

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using Arkova ("the Service"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

2. Service Description

Arkova provides document verification infrastructure. The Service creates cryptographic fingerprints (SHA-256 hashes) of documents in your browser and anchors them to a permanent public record. Documents never leave your device.

3. What Arkova Does and Does Not Do

Arkova proves: That a specific document existed at a specific time and has not been altered since anchoring.

Arkova does not: Verify the truthfulness, accuracy, or legal validity of document contents. Anchoring a document does not constitute legal certification, notarization, or endorsement of its contents.

4. User Responsibilities

  • You are responsible for the documents you choose to anchor.
  • You must not use the Service to anchor fraudulent, illegal, or harmful content.
  • You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account credentials and API keys.
  • Organization administrators are responsible for their members' use of the Service.

5. Verification API

API access is subject to rate limits and usage quotas per your subscription tier. API keys must be kept confidential. Arkova reserves the right to revoke API keys that violate these terms or rate limits.

6. Privacy

Your use of the Service is also governed by our Privacy Policy. The foundational guarantee — documents never leave your device — is an architectural commitment, not merely a policy choice.

7. Intellectual Property

You retain all rights to your documents. Arkova claims no ownership of documents you anchor. The cryptographic fingerprints and associated metadata are used solely to provide the verification service.

8. Limitation of Liability

Arkova provides the Service "as is" without warranty of any kind. Arkova is not liable for any damages arising from your use of the Service, including but not limited to reliance on verification results for legal, regulatory, or compliance purposes.

9. Modifications

Arkova may modify these terms at any time. Material changes will be communicated via email or in-app notification at least 30 days before taking effect. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance.
