Terms of Service
Use the tools. Keep the judgment.
These terms govern your use of bangers & bash, a product operated by Arc Labs LLC. They describe account access, subscriptions, X connections, publishing, and the limits of the service.
Last updated October 5, 2026
Your account
bangers & bash is not for anyone under 18. You must be 18 or older to use it. We delete an account we learn belongs to a minor.
You must use an email address you control and keep your sign-in access secure. You are responsible for activity under your account and for the content you save, schedule, or publish. Contact us promptly if you believe someone else has accessed it.
Before entering the signed-in workspace, you agree to these Terms and acknowledge reading the Privacy notice. We keep the notice versions and time of your acknowledgment, including your birth month and year used to check that you meet the 18+ requirement. This does not grant optional survey, research, contact or analytics permission.
You may use the service only where you are legally allowed to do so, and you must comply with applicable law and X’s rules. We may suspend access when necessary to protect accounts, the service, or others, or to address misuse or unpaid charges. We will explain the reason when we reasonably can.
Plans and payment
Individual paid plans are subscriptions. The price, billing interval, included usage limits, and any promotion are shown before you confirm checkout. There is no free trial or Free plan for new accounts. Existing access grants remain until reviewed. A monthly plan renews each month, and an annual plan each year, at the disclosed price until you cancel. We charge through Stripe; bangers & bash does not store your card details.
Usage allowances, including tracked posts, checks, publishing, URL publishing, and AI, are enforced by the service. Unused included allowances do not roll over. If you reach a limit, affected actions pause until your allowance resets or you choose a plan with more capacity. We will show any price or material allowance change before it affects your next renewal.
If you purchase extra Intelligence credits, the purchase is a one-time payment at the price shown before checkout, with no automatic refill. Purchased credits never expire. Included monthly credits are used first, then purchased credits in order of purchase. Canceling or changing a plan keeps your remaining purchased credits; those credits do not add paid X capabilities.
Cancellation and refunds
You can cancel a paid plan from the Billing area in Settings, which opens Stripe’s customer portal, or by contacting us at the address below. Cancellation stops future renewals. Unless checkout says otherwise, paid access continues through the end of the current billing period. Disconnecting X does not cancel a subscription. A confirmed account-removal request stops renewal; removal waits until billing and unresolved refunds or disputes have settled. Refund unused purchased credits before removal.
Refunds. If you ask within 7 days of your first charge on a monthly plan, or within 14 days on an annual plan, we refund it in full and paid access ends. After that, fees for a billing period already started are not prorated, except where law requires otherwise. If you were charged in error or the paid service did not work as described, contact us within 30 days of the charge and we will make it right. A refund does not remove any rights you have under applicable law.
Extra-credit refunds. Within 14 days of an extra-credit purchase, you can request a refund for the unused credits at the original purchase price. An untouched pack receives a full refund. Refunded credits are removed; your subscription and other credit purchases are unaffected. Credits from a disputed payment may be unavailable while the dispute is resolved. Contact support for a payment error or a refund that needs review. This policy does not remove your rights under applicable law.
X connection and publishing
Connecting X authorizes the access shown on X’s permission screen. Read access is used for your account’s available post and profile data. Publishing requires a separate write-scope opt-in. You review and confirm every post or schedule before it can be sent; an uncertain send is held for review and is not automatically retried.
You retain responsibility for what is published from your X account. X controls its own service, permissions, API availability, and fees. We cannot guarantee that X will accept, deliver, or keep displaying a post. Disconnecting in Settings removes stored access tokens, X profile details, collected posts and measurements from the active database. Publication receipts remain, and posts already published on X are not deleted.
Bash and analytics
Bash uses your stored posts and measurements to answer questions and suggest writing. Its responses may be incomplete or wrong. Review the source posts, numbers, and every draft before using or publishing it. Analytics describe observed data; they do not measure an algorithmic boost or guarantee reach, followers, or other outcomes.
Acceptable use
Do not use the service to spam, harass, impersonate, infringe others’ rights, access another person’s account or data without permission, evade service limits, or automate publication beyond the controls we provide. Do not use a connection or account in a way that violates X’s developer or platform rules.
Your writing remains yours. You grant us only the permission needed to store it, analyze it at your request, and send it to X when you confirm publication. Our software, design, and marks remain ours or our licensors’.
Changes and support
We may change the service or these terms. We will give notice before a material change takes effect. If you do not accept a change, cancel before it applies and stop using the service. For account, billing, refund, or terms questions, email hello@arclabshq.com.
Our Privacy policy explains what data we collect, retain, and delete. X and Stripe have their own terms for their services.
