Arcatar Inc (“Arcatar”) has rules for use of our products and services, including our website. In these terms of service, you won’t find complicated legal terms or long passages of unreadable text. You will find important legal information, however, so please do not skip over reading this document. We have no desire to trick you into signing something you don’t understand. What we want is a transparent and empowering relationship, now and in the future. Therefore, it’s important to have things written down so that we both know who should do what and when, and what will happen if something goes wrong.

Site data and analytics. 

Our Site is managed by Hubspot for the purposes of providing Site analytics, documenting consents and choices, and generally trying to provide you with a positive experience on our Site.
