These Terms govern your use of getark.dev and the ark-pm
command-line tool (together, the Service), operated by Gino Fontana
doing business as Studio GinoFtn (the Operator),
based in Saint-Martin, French Caribbean. By creating an account, installing the CLI,
publishing a package, or subscribing to a paid tier, you agree to these Terms.
Ark is a marketplace and registry for AI systems — agents, skills, OS packages and related cognitive artifacts. Creators publish packages; users browse, install and optionally purchase them through Stripe. The Service is provided on an as-is basis, in active development, and may change without notice.
You must provide a valid email address to create an account. You are responsible for the activity that occurs under your account, including any CLI tokens you generate. Keep your tokens secret; the Operator is not liable for losses caused by token leakage.
Paid plans (Pro, Partner, Founding access, package purchases) are processed by Stripe, Inc. The Operator never sees or stores your full card number. By paying, you also agree to Stripe’s Consumer Terms.
Subscription plans renew monthly or yearly as displayed at checkout. You can cancel at any time from your dashboard; cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period. No refunds are issued for partial periods, founding-tier access fees, or one-time package purchases. Exceptions (duplicate charges, demonstrably broken packages) can be requested by email.
Creators retain ownership of the packages they publish. By publishing, you grant the Operator a non-exclusive licence to host, distribute, audit, and display the package through the Service. You confirm that you have the right to publish the content and that it does not infringe any third party’s rights.
Sales revenue is split between the Creator and the Operator according to the commission rate displayed on the Pricing page at the time of sale (currently Free 30%, Pro 15%, Partner 10%). Payouts are made through Stripe Connect once the minimum threshold is reached.
You agree not to:
The Operator may remove packages, suspend accounts, or refuse service at its reasonable discretion, including for breach of these Terms.
The Ark name, logo, site design, CLI source code, and documentation are owned by
the Operator. The ark-pm CLI is published as open source under its own
licence on npm; those terms apply to the CLI code itself.
The Service is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement. Packages are published by third-party creators; the audit score is an informational signal, not a guarantee.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Operator’s total liability for any claim arising out of or relating to the Service is limited to the amount you paid to the Operator in the twelve months preceding the claim. The Operator is not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages.
These Terms may be updated as the Service evolves. Material changes will be announced on the home page or by email. Continued use after a change constitutes acceptance of the new Terms.
These Terms are governed by the laws of France (Saint-Martin being a French overseas collectivity). Any dispute will be brought before the competent courts of Saint-Martin or, where applicable, the courts designated by mandatory consumer-protection rules of your country of residence.
