Terms of service
Who these terms apply to
These terms of service govern your use of arcmedia.me, the website of Arc Media. They apply to everyone who visits or uses the site, whether you are browsing out of curiosity, evaluating our services for your barbershop or grooming studio, or visiting for any other reason.
By accessing or using the site you accept these terms. If you do not agree with them, please do not use the site.
These terms cover the website only. If you become a client, the services we provide to you are governed by a separate agreement signed by both parties, not by these terms.
Who we are
The site is operated by Arc Media, a trading name of Selim Bah, operating as a sole trader. We build growth systems, including marketing, websites, booking and customer reactivation, for barbershops and grooming studios. We work with clients in Dubai, United Arab Emirates and in Austin, Texas, United States.
You can reach us by email at hello@arcmedia.me or by phone or WhatsApp at +971 52 281 9662.
Use of the site
The site is an informational website. You may use it to learn about Arc Media, to evaluate whether our services could suit your business, and to get in touch with us. You may view the pages in your browser, follow links from them, and share links to them.
Use of the site for these personal and business evaluation purposes is permitted and free of charge. Any other use of the site or its content requires our prior written permission.
Nothing on this site is an offer or a contract
Everything on the site is information only. Nothing on it is an offer capable of acceptance, and no contract is formed between you and us by your use of the site, by sending us a message, or by booking a call.
Our services exist only under a separate written agreement signed by both parties. Until such an agreement is signed, neither of us owes the other anything.
Booking a call creates no obligation on either side. You are free not to attend the call or not to proceed after it, and we are free to decline an engagement for any reason.
We deliberately do not publish pricing on the site. Pricing depends on your business and your goals, and we discuss it only on a call.
Intellectual property
The content of the site, including its text, design, layout, graphics and the Arc Media name and wordmark, belongs to Arc Media or its licensors.
We grant you a limited, revocable, nonexclusive license to view the site in your browser and to share links to its pages. This license does not allow you to copy, reproduce, republish, scrape, or otherwise reuse the content of the site, in whole or in part, without our prior written permission. Nothing in these terms transfers any intellectual property rights to you.
If you would like to reuse something from the site, ask us first at hello@arcmedia.me. We are usually happy to talk.
Acceptable use
You agree to use the site lawfully and considerately. In particular, you must not:
- use the site for any unlawful purpose or in breach of any applicable law or regulation;
- interfere with the security, availability, or proper working of the site or the infrastructure that hosts it;
- use bots, scrapers, or other automated tools to access the site or to harvest content or data from it;
- misrepresent who you are, or your affiliation with any person or business, when contacting us or booking a call;
- introduce malware or attempt to gain unauthorized access to the site or to any system connected to it.
We may block or restrict access to the site, without notice, if we reasonably believe these rules have been breached.
Third party links and the booking chat
The book a call buttons on the site open a WhatsApp chat with us, through a link to wa.me, a service operated by WhatsApp. WhatsApp is not part of our site. The messages you send there, and details such as your profile name and phone number, are handled under WhatsApp's own terms and privacy policy as well as ours. Our privacy policy explains how we use booking messages once we receive them.
The site may also contain other links to third party websites. We do not control third party sites, we are not responsible for their content, availability, or practices, and a link is not an endorsement. Please review the terms and privacy policies of any third party site you use.
No guarantee of results and no advice
The site describes what we do and how we think about growth for barbershops and grooming studios. The website itself promises nothing. Reading the site, booking a call, or applying an idea you found here will not by itself grow your business, and we make no guarantee of any business result from your use of the website or its content.
Any commitments we make to clients are set out in the separate signed services agreement between us and that client. Nothing in this section limits or contradicts what such an agreement says. It simply means the website is not where those commitments live.
Nothing on the site is professional, legal, financial, or tax advice. If you need advice for your specific situation, speak to a qualified professional.
Site availability
The site is provided as is and as available. We aim to keep it accurate, secure, and online, but we do not warrant that it will be uninterrupted, error free, or free of harmful components, and we do not warrant that its content is complete or current at all times.
We may change, suspend, or withdraw the site, or any part of it, at any time without notice, and we will not be liable to you for doing so.
Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, we exclude all liability for any loss or damage arising from your use of, or inability to use, the site or its content. This includes indirect or consequential loss, loss of profit, loss of business, loss of anticipated savings, and loss of data, whether the claim arises in contract, tort, statute, or otherwise.
Nothing in these terms excludes or limits any liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited, including, where applicable law so provides, liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or liability for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation.
Because the site is free to use and informational only, you agree that this allocation of risk is reasonable. This section applies to the website only. Liability in respect of client services is addressed in the separate signed services agreement.
Changes to these terms
We may update these terms from time to time, for example when the site changes or the law changes. The current version is always available at /terms/, and the date of the latest update is shown on this page. Changes take effect when they are published here.
If you continue to use the site after a change, you accept the updated terms. We encourage you to review this page occasionally.
Governing law and jurisdiction
These terms, and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with them or with your use of the site, are governed by the laws of Dubai, United Arab Emirates. The courts of Dubai, United Arab Emirates have exclusive jurisdiction over any such dispute or claim.
Nothing in this section deprives you of any protection given to you by mandatory consumer protection law in the country where you live, where such law applies to you and cannot be excluded by agreement.
Severability and contact
If any part of these terms is found by a court to be invalid or unenforceable, that part will be applied to the greatest extent the law permits, and the rest of these terms will remain in full force. If we do not enforce a right under these terms on one occasion, that is not a waiver of the right.
Questions about these terms are welcome. Contact Arc Media by email at hello@arcmedia.me or by phone or WhatsApp at +971 52 281 9662.
