Purchases and Sales
Third Party Payment Processor
ARKH has selected Circle Internet Financial, Inc. as its Third Party Payment Processor (“Third Party Payment Processor”). Accordingly, financial transactions, including all purchases, that occur on or through the Services, including those in the Marketplace (as defined below), will be subject to additional terms, fees, and restrictions. We highly recommend that you review our Third Party Payment Processor’s User Agreement, which may be found here: https://www.circle.com/en/lega..., and its Privacy Policy, which may be found here: https://www.circle.com/en/lega....
Making Purchases
In certain situations, Users may be able to make purchase through the Services. In order to do so, you may be required to add a payment method (a “Payment Method”) to your account. If so, and should you decide to add a Payment Method to your account, you will be asked to provide customary billing information such as name, billing address, and financial instrument information to our Third Party Payment Processor. You must provide accurate, current, and complete information when adding a Payment Method, and it is your obligation to keep your Payment Method up-to-date at all times. The information required for a certain Payment Method will depend on the particular Payment Method and may include: payment account information, your residential address, name on the account, account type, routing number, account number, and account information associated with a particular payment processor, etc.
All purchases on the ARKH platform are made with ARKH Coins. As such, in order to make a purchase in the ARKH platform, including in the Marketplace (as defined below), you will first need to purchase ARKH Coins. ARKH Coins are stable coins and ARKH relies on its Third Party Payment Processor to handle the transition from fiat currencies into ARKH Coins.
Should you choose to make a purchase through the Services, which includes the purchase of ARKH Coins, then you authorize ARKH’s Third Party Payment Processor to charge your Payment Method all applicable fees for the items purchased and accepted in connection with your account. We, or our Third Party Payment Processor, will collect all fees from your provided Payment Method once the purchase is completed.
Additionally, ARKH does not store any of your Payment Method information and is not responsible for any lost or stolen information pertaining to your Payment Method or purchases through the Services.
You are solely responsible for the accuracy and completeness of your Payment Method information. ARKH is not responsible for any loss suffered by you as a result of incorrect Payment Method information provided by you. If any of your payment or billing information is not up-to-date or accurate, along with the other remedies described herein, we may temporarily suspend or permanently terminate your account.
ARKH may, from time-to-time, offer you promotional payment information or discounts, in our sole and exclusive discretion. If we do so, you acknowledge and agree that we are under no obligation to continue offering or providing such promotions or discounts and that we may cease such promotions or discounts at any time.
Selling Content
As further described in our EULA, you will have the opportunity to list and attempt to sell Your Content through the Application’s marketplace, which is designed specifically for buying and selling Content, including User Content (the “Marketplace”). If you do sell any of Your Content in your Marketplace, then you need to be aware of the provisions in this section, and any additional agreements and terms ARKH may implement.
We charge fees for using and listing User Content in the Marketplace, and all such fees will be disclosed to you before you list any of Your Content in the Marketplace. All fees will be payable in ARKH Coin. In addition, if you sell any of Your Content, you are liable for transaction fees arising out of all sales made using some or all the Services. The fees we charge do not purchase you exclusive rights to exposure in the Marketplace or on our Services. We may display third-party advertisements (including links and references thereto) or other content in any part of our Services, in our sole discretion and without consent from, or payment, fee reduction, or other credit to, sellers.
In any jurisdiction where ARKH has an obligation to collect sales taxes on sales you make using the Services, we may collect such takes through the proceeds arising from the sales of Your Content in the Marketplace, or, we may collect such sales taxes from you via the Payment Method you have on file, if any, or via any other means available to us.
To protect ARKH from risk of liability for your actions as a seller, ARKH may at times recommended, and may continue to recommend, that ARKH’s Third Party Payment Processor restrict access to a seller’s funds based on certain factors, including, but not limited to, selling history, seller performance, riskiness of the listing category, or transaction value. This may result in our Third Party Payment Processor restricting access to your funds.
Should you sell any of Your Content in the Marketplace, then you will be paid for those sales. As stated above, all purchases and sales will be made with ARKH Coins. As such, when you are paid for your sales, the ARKH Coins will be exchanged for U.S. Dollars and all payments are made in U.S. Dollars. You will have two options on how to be paid. First, if you desire, ARKH will mail you a physical check to the address you provide. Second, ARKH will send you a transfer via ACH, through our Third Party Payment Processor.
In either case, you will need to provide ARKH certain information and authorizations before you can be paid. In either case, we will need basic information about you, such as your name and mailing address. In addition, if you desire to be paid via ACH, you will need to provide your checking account number, routing number (also known as the ABA code), the name and address of the principal account holder, and the principal account holder’s valid U.S. driver’s license number or state-issued ID number, and the issuing state. If you're not sure whether your account is ACH-enabled, contact your bank.
ACH Authorization
If you want to be paid via ACH, then you will be required to complete ARKH’s separate ACH authorization form.
Refunds and Cancellations
All purchases are final and ARKH does not currently offer refunds, returns, or exchanges, except as required by law.
Prohibition of Minimum or Maximum Transaction Amounts
Except as otherwise noted in the App or the Marketplace, ARKH does not currently set or implement minimum or maximum transaction amounts.

RESOLUTION OF DISPUTES; BINDING ARBITRATION; NO CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTIONS OR ARBITRATIONS
Binding Arbitration and Exclusions from Arbitration. EXCEPT AS PROVIDED BELOW OR UNLESS YOU SUBMIT A VALID ARBITRATION/CLASS ACTION WAIVER OPT-OUT NOTICE (AS DESCRIBED IN SUB-SECTION 5 BELOW), ANY AND ALL CLAIMS BETWEEN YOU AND ARKH WILL BE RESOLVED IN BINDING ARBITRATION RATHER THAN IN COURT. You and ARKH agree to submit to individual arbitration the resolution of any and all Claims by or between you and/or ARKH, except that you and ARKH agree that the following will not be subject to the mandatory arbitration provisions in this Section 17(1): (A) any Claim filed by you or ARKH with respect to any violation, enforcement or validity of patent, trademark, trade dress, service mark, copyright and/or trade secret rights of you, ARKH, or any third party, including, but not limited to, Claims related to Your Content and/or (B) you or ARKH may seek a preliminary injunction, restraining order or other provisional equitable relief in any court as provided in “Governing Law And Jurisdiction; Arbitration Location” above in connection with any Claim whereby you or ARKH, as applicable, may suffer immediate and irreparable harm for which money damages may be inadequate and impossible to calculate (including, but not limited to, a Claim under Section 17(1)(A)), where such Claim under this Section 17(1)(B) will not be subject to the informal dispute resolution procedures described in Section 17(2) below; provided, however, that, subsequent to obtaining such preliminary injunction, restraining order or other provisional equitable relief, the Claim will then be submitted to arbitration in accordance with this Section of these Terms. You and ARKH agree that these Terms affect interstate commerce, and that the enforceability of this Section of the Terms will be governed by, construed, and enforced, both procedurally and substantively, by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. sections 1-9 (“FAA”). Arbitration is the referral of a dispute to one or more impartial persons for a final and binding determination. There is no judge or jury in arbitration, discovery is more limited than in court, there are no class or representative proceedings, and court review of an arbitration decision is limited. An arbitrator must follow these Terms and can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court (including, but not limited to, injunctive and declaratory relief, statutory damages, and attorneys’ fees). “Claim(s)” means any dispute, claim or controversy by or between you and/or ARKH relating to the Site and/or this Agreement (including, but not limited to, ARKH’s Privacy Policy and any additional terms that govern certain products and/or services which are presented in conjunction with those products and/or services, Rules, regulations, procedures and policies which we refer to in these Terms), as may be modified from time-to-time, and the subject matter hereof, including, but not limited to, any contract, tort, statutory, or equity claims.
Informal Dispute Resolution. Except with respect to Claims described in Section 17(1)(B) above, before either you or ARKH pursue or participate in any Claim against the other party in arbitration or court proceedings, you or ARKH must notify the other party of the Claim in writing at least 60 days in advance of initiating the arbitration or court proceeding in order to provide a reasonable opportunity to resolve the Claim. You may send a written notice of your Claim to Capitol Services, Inc., 1675 S State St. Ste. B. Dover, DE 19901 Attention: ARKH, Inc. ARKH may send written or electronic notice of its Claim to your email address, ARKH account or any physical or other address ARKH has for you. The notice must describe the Claim in reasonable detail and set forth the relief requested so that the other party has an opportunity to adequately address the Claim. Except with respect to Claims described in Section 17(1)(B) above, you and ARKH agree to negotiate in good faith with each other to try to informally resolve the Claim and, if you and ARKH do not reach an informal resolution of the Claim within 60 days, then the Claim may be submitted to binding arbitration as set forth in this Section of the Agreement or court as permitted by Section 17(1) above.
Arbitration Proceedings and Costs. Any arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) pursuant to its Consumer Arbitration Rules (the “AAA Rules”), as modified by these Terms. The AAA Rules, and other information about the AAA, are available at the AAA’s website at www.adr.org. A form for initiating arbitration proceedings is available on the AAA’s website (see “Demand for Arbitration, Consumer Arbitration Rules”, under Rules and Forms, Consumer Forms, at https://www.adr.org, but contact the AAA if you have issues locating the form) and arbitration proceedings shall be initiated in the location described in “Governing Law And Jurisdiction; Arbitration Location” above. As required by the AAA Rules, if you initiate the arbitration proceedings, you must send the original copy of the completed form to ARKH, which should be sent to ARKH at the following address: Capitol Services, Inc., 1675 S State St. Ste. B. Dover, DE 19901 Attention: ARKH, Inc. If your Claim is for $10,000 or less, you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely based on documents submitted to the arbitrator, through a telephonic hearing, or by an in-person hearing under the AAA Rules. In all cases, you and ARKH shall exchange documents and other information that you or ARKH intend to use in the arbitration.
Upon filing of an arbitration demand for Claims up to $75,000, ARKH will reimburse you for all necessary filing, administration and arbitrator fees paid by you to the AAA or, if you wish ARKH to pay such fees directly to the AAA, you must request payment of such fees by ARKH by mail to the AAA along with your form initiating arbitration and ARKH will make arrangements to pay such fees directly to the AAA. In the event the arbitrator determines that the Claim(s) you assert in the arbitration are frivolous or vexatious, you agree to reimburse ARKH for all fees associated with the arbitration paid by ARKH on your behalf. You agree that ARKH shall have no obligation to pay any other fees except as determined by the arbitrator.
For Claims that total more than $75,000, the AAA Rules will govern payment of filing, administration and arbitrator fees to the maximum extent permitted by law. The decision of the arbitrator will be binding and conclusive on all parties, and judgment to enforce the decision may be entered by any court of competent jurisdiction.
Class Action Waiver. UNLESS YOU SUBMIT A VALID ARBITRATION/CLASS ACTION WAIVER OPT-OUT NOTICE (AS DESCRIBED IN SECTION 17(5)), YOU AND ARKH AGREE THAT ANY DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCEEDINGS WHETHER IN ARBITRATION OR IN COURT WILL BE CONDUCTED ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT IN A CLASS, CONSOLIDATED OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. You and ARKH expressly agree that any Claim is personal to you and ARKH, shall only be resolved by an individual arbitration (or individual court proceedings with respect to Claims excluded from mandatory arbitration as described in Section 17(1) of this Agreement), and shall in no event be brought as a class arbitration, a class action, or any other representative proceeding. The arbitrator (or court if the Claim is excluded from mandatory arbitration as described in Section 17(1) of this Agreement) may only conduct an individual arbitration (or court action if the Claim is excluded from mandatory arbitration as described in Section 17(1) of this Agreement), and may not consolidate more than one person’s claims and may not preside over any form of representative or class proceeding. If a court or arbitrator determines that this class action waiver is unenforceable in an action between you and ARKH, then this Agreement to arbitrate will be unenforceable. Neither you nor ARKH consent to class arbitration.
Right to Opt Out of Mandatory Arbitration and Class Action Waiver. IF YOU DO NOT WISH TO BE BOUND BY THE MANDATORY ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER PROVISIONS IN SECTIONS 17(1), 17(3) AND 17(4), YOU MUST NOTIFY ARKH IN WRITING (THE “Arbitration/Class Action Waiver Opt-Out Notice”), WHERE THE ARBITRATION/CLASS ACTION WAIVER OPT-OUT NOTICE MEETS ALL OF THE FOLLOWING REQUIREMENTS:

Postmarked (if sent by first class mail) or deposited with the overnight courier service no later than 45 days after the date you accept this Agreement for the first time unless an earlier deadline in Sub-section 5.2(C) applies.
Time Periods Applicable to Users of Multiple ARKH Websites, Applications or Other Interactive Services. If you are or become a User of more than one ARKH website, application or other interactive service, you must provide the Arbitration/Class Action Waiver Opt-Out Notice within the earliest deadline applicable for any ARKH website, application or other interactive service for which you are or become a User.
Includes your first and last name, address, phone number, email address and, if applicable, your username. We shall use the foregoing information included in the Arbitration/Class Action Waiver Opt-Out Notice to record, process, maintain and administer your opt-out of the mandatory arbitration and class action waiver provisions and not for marketing purposes.
Includes a statement that you do not agree to the mandatory arbitration and class action waiver.
If the Arbitration/Class Action Waiver Opt-Out Notice meets all of the above requirements, you will be deemed to have opted out of the mandatory arbitration and class action waiver provisions in Section 17(1), Section 17(3) and Section 17(4) with respect to the ARKH Site, Application, Platform, and Services. Note that a valid Arbitration/Class Action Waiver Opt-Out Notice applies only to the individual identified in such notice as opting out.
If the Arbitration/Class Action Waiver Opt-Out Notice does not meet all of the above requirements, you will not be deemed to have opted out of the mandatory arbitration and class action waiver provisions in Section 17(1), Section 17(3) and Section 17(4).
