Arc Coins are a virtual credit used on the platform for chapter early access, creator tipping and similar features. Coins have no monetary value, cannot be exchanged for cash, and may not be transferred or sold outside the platform. Balances may be adjusted in the event of error, fraud or abuse.

Bonus coins. Coins we give you for free (for example welcome coins or rewards) are bonus coins. They can unlock early-access chapters and are used for that first. Tips, Market items and paid creative tools use coins you have bought.

Buying coins. Coin packs are sold at the prices shown on the Coins page, in pounds sterling. Payment is taken by our payment processor, Stripe, we never see or store your card details. Coins are digital content delivered to your account immediately after payment; by completing a purchase you ask us to deliver them straight away and accept that your 14-day right to cancel ends once they have been added. If a payment is refunded or reversed, the coins from that purchase are removed.

Subscription. The ArcInk Subscription is billed monthly in advance until you cancel. You can cancel at any time from the Coins page ("Manage or cancel subscription"); your benefits continue to the end of the period you have paid for and you will not be charged again. The subscription gives access to every chapter; it does not include coins. The founding rate offered to our first subscribers stays at that price for as long as you remain a subscriber, including if you later resubscribe.

Nothing in these Terms affects your statutory rights. If something has gone wrong with a purchase, charged twice, coins not delivered, contact [support email] and we will put it right.

You keep ownership of what you write and create. By posting comments, reviews or ratings you grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide licence to host and display that content on the platform. By submitting a Work through the creator submissions portal you confirm you own the rights to it; submission does not transfer ownership, publication terms are agreed separately with each creator.

We may update these Terms as the platform grows. If we make material changes we will tell you (by email or in-app notice) before they take effect. Continuing to use the platform after that means you accept the updated Terms.
