Part C — Services

Services Rules & Policies

By purchasing or enquiring about any service from Arden Systems, you agree to the following terms. Please read carefully before placing an order.

§1
Payment
All payments must be made upfront before any work begins. We do not offer credit or payment plans unless explicitly agreed in writing with a staff member.
§2
No Refunds
Due to the digital nature of our services, all sales are final. Refunds will only be considered if Arden Systems is unable to deliver the agreed service.
§3
Delivery Times
Estimated delivery timelines are provided at the time of order. These are estimates and may vary depending on complexity. We will always communicate any delays promptly.
§4
Revisions
Custom bot orders include reasonable revisions within the agreed scope. Requests that go beyond the original brief may incur additional charges, which will be discussed before proceeding.
§5
Source Code
Source code is only available for fully custom bots as a paid add-on (+£49). Preset bot source code is never provided under any circumstances. Redistribution or resale of any Arden Systems code is strictly prohibited.
§6
Hosting Policy
All preset bots must be hosted through Arden Systems. Attempting to self-host a preset bot or reverse-engineer hosted bots is a violation of these terms and may result in service termination without refund.
§7
Hosting Payments
Monthly hosting fees are due on the same date each month. Failure to pay within 3 days of the due date will result in the bot being suspended. Continued non-payment will result in permanent termination of the service.
§8
Chargebacks
Initiating a chargeback or payment dispute without first contacting us will result in an immediate ban from all Arden Systems services with no possibility of reinstatement.
§9
Fair Use
Our bots and services must not be used for any illegal activity, harassment, or violation of Discord's Terms of Service. We reserve the right to terminate any service immediately if misuse is detected.
§10
Support
Support is provided via tickets only. We do not offer support through DMs. Response times are typically within 24 hours. Post-delivery support for custom bots is limited to 1 month from delivery.

Bot Hosting Panel

Account Access. Access to the hosting panel is granted via Discord OAuth2. You are responsible for maintaining the security of your Discord account. We are not liable for any unauthorised access resulting from a compromised Discord account.

Acceptable Use. The hosting panel and server resources may only be used to run Discord bots for legitimate purposes. Prohibited uses include (but are not limited to): cryptocurrency mining, running malware or exploits, hosting illegal content, attacking other systems, or any activity that violates applicable law or Discord's Terms of Service.

Resource Usage. We reserve the right to suspend or terminate any bot that consumes disproportionate server resources, disrupts other hosted services, or violates these Terms. We will make reasonable efforts to notify you before taking action, except where immediate action is required to protect our infrastructure.

Data & Files. You are responsible for the content of files uploaded to or stored on the hosting panel. We do not take responsibility for the loss of user-uploaded files. We strongly recommend maintaining your own backups of important bot code and configuration.

Uptime. We make reasonable efforts to maintain high availability of the hosting platform. However, we do not guarantee 100% uptime and are not liable for damages arising from service interruptions, including maintenance windows or unexpected outages.

Termination. We reserve the right to immediately suspend or permanently terminate your hosting account and all associated services without notice if you: violate these Terms; use the platform for illegal activities; initiate a chargeback; or conduct yourself in a manner that threatens the security, integrity, or reputation of Arden Systems.

Intellectual Property

Arden Systems Property. All code, designs, branding, and materials created by Arden Systems remain the exclusive intellectual property of Arden Systems. You are granted a non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to use delivered software solely for its intended purpose as part of your purchased service.

Preset Bots. Preset bots are licenced to you for use only while your hosting subscription is active. The underlying code remains the property of Arden Systems. You may not copy, reproduce, reverse-engineer, decompile, or redistribute preset bot software under any circumstances.

Custom Bots. Upon full payment and delivery, the bespoke features developed specifically for your commission are licenced to you. Source code is only included where the source code add-on has been purchased. Standard components and frameworks used in custom bots remain the property of Arden Systems or their respective licence holders.

Your Content. You retain ownership of any content you provide to us (such as assets, branding, or requirements). By providing content to us, you grant Arden Systems a licence to use it solely for the purpose of fulfilling your order.

Limitation of Liability

Services Provided "As Is". Our services are provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. We make no warranties, express or implied, regarding the reliability, accuracy, or fitness for a particular purpose of our services.

Liability Cap. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Arden Systems' total liability to you for any claim arising out of or relating to these Terms or our services shall not exceed the total amount paid by you to Arden Systems in the 3 months preceding the claim.

Consequential Damages. Arden Systems shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages — including but not limited to loss of profits, data, goodwill, or business interruption — arising out of or in connection with your use of our services.

Discord Platform. We are not responsible for the availability, actions, or decisions of Discord, Inc. or any changes to the Discord platform that may affect the functionality of bots or services.

Nothing in these Terms limits our liability for fraud, death, or personal injury caused by our negligence, or any other liability that cannot be excluded by law.
