Terms of Service

These Terms of Service (the "Terms") are a binding agreement between you and Argorant ("Argorant", "we", "us"). By creating an account, accessing the service, exporting or revealing data, calling the API, or otherwise using Argorant, you accept these Terms.

You must be at least 18 years old and able to form a binding contract. If you use Argorant on behalf of a company or other organization, you represent that you are authorized to bind that organization, and "you" refers to it.

A signed order form or Data Processing Agreement may add to or replace specific terms. If there is a conflict, the signed document controls for its subject matter.

Argorant provides access to a database of business contact and company records (the "Database") compiled from multiple sources, currently covering approximately 614 million business contact records. The Database is searchable through our web application, REST API, MCP server, and command-line interface.

The service includes per-contact reveals, CSV exports with live email verification at export time, saved lists, a standalone email verifier, webhooks, CRM integrations, and a Chrome extension. Specific features depend on your plan.

We may add, change, or retire features over time. Beta, preview, or early-access features may change, break, or be discontinued, and should not be relied on for high-risk workflows without your own review.

Access to the service is not a guarantee that any specific person, company, email address, or record exists in the Database or will be deliverable.

You are responsible for your account, credentials, users, API keys, exports, and all activity under your account, whether or not authorized by you, until you notify us of a compromise.

You must provide accurate account and billing information, keep credentials and API keys confidential and secure, and notify us promptly at legal@argorant.com of any suspected unauthorized use.

Self-serve customers may maintain one account per customer. Creating multiple accounts to multiply trials, free allowances, credits, or promotional pricing is prohibited.

We may suspend or limit access if we detect abuse, a security risk, unlawful use, payment failure, or use that threatens the service or other customers. Where reasonable, we will notify you and give you an opportunity to cure.

Paid plans are self-serve and billed through Stripe either every four weeks (referred to as "monthly" billing) or annually, as selected at checkout. Plan tiers, prices, credit allowances, and limits are shown at checkout and in the product.

Subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each billing period until cancelled. You can cancel at any time from your account settings; cancellation stops the next renewal, and your plan and remaining credits stay active until the end of the current paid period.

All fees are non-refundable and we do not prorate partial periods, except where a refund is required by applicable law. Charges for completed billing periods, consumed credits, and consumed verification checks are not refunded on cancellation or termination.

If you are on launch, cohort, or other promotional pricing, that pricing is conditioned on continuous subscription. If you voluntarily cancel, the promotional rate ends and any later subscription is at then-current pricing.

We may change prices for a renewal period with advance notice before the renewal takes effect. Taxes, currency conversion, bank fees, and third-party payment charges may apply unless stated otherwise. Late or failed payment may result in suspension after notice.

The service uses two separate consumables. Contact credits are consumed when you export or reveal records: one credit per contact with a deliverable email (verified as valid, catch-all, or risky). Records whose email is invalid or cannot be verified are filtered out at no charge. Revealing a phone number consumes ten credits.

Verification checks are consumed by the email verifier tool: one check per email address verified. Verification checks are a separate pool from contact credits and the two are never interchangeable. Re-checking an address you have verified recently is free.

Credits and verification checks included with a plan expire at the end of each billing cycle and do not roll over. One-time credit packs remain valid for 12 months from purchase.

Credits and verification checks are non-transferable between accounts, have no cash value, and cannot be redeemed, refunded, or exchanged. Consuming a credit grants the data license in Section 6; it is not a purchase of the underlying data.

Attempting to obtain records, reveals, or verification results without consuming the corresponding credits — including through metering exploits, response interception, shared accounts, or automation designed to evade metering — is a material breach of these Terms.

Argorant data is licensed, not sold. Subject to these Terms and your payment of applicable fees, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable license to use records you export or reveal for your internal business purposes: B2B sales, B2B marketing, recruiting, and business research.

The license covers the specific records you lawfully exported or revealed using credits. It does not grant any right, title, or interest in the Database itself, in our software, or in any records you have not exported or revealed.

The license continues for records you exported or revealed during a paid subscription, provided you remain in compliance with these Terms, including the restrictions in Section 7 and your obligations under applicable data protection and marketing laws. We may require deletion of exported data if your account is terminated for material breach.

You are responsible for keeping exported data accurate and current in your own systems, honoring opt-outs and suppression requests you receive, and deleting or suppressing records when required by law or by a data subject request forwarded by us.

Except as expressly permitted in writing by us, you may not, and may not permit or assist anyone else to:

(a) resell, redistribute, publish, broker, or sublicense the Database or any substantial part of it, whether raw, enriched, restructured, or combined with other data;

(b) use the Database or any exported data to build, train, improve, validate, or benchmark any product or service that competes with Argorant, including any contact database, enrichment service, lead-generation dataset, or machine-learning model intended to reproduce Database contents;

(c) incorporate the Database or any substantial part of it into a product, dataset, or service offered to third parties;

(d) scrape, crawl, bulk-download, or perform automated extraction from the service other than through the documented REST API, MCP server, and CLI within your plan limits;

(e) circumvent or attempt to circumvent credits, verification checks, rate limits, field masking, seat limits, or any other usage limit or technical restriction;

(f) use the service or any data from it as a factor in establishing eligibility for credit, employment, insurance, housing, tenancy, education, government benefits, or any other purpose regulated by the Fair Credit Reporting Act or similar laws — Argorant is not a consumer reporting agency and the Database is not a consumer report;

(g) use the service for unlawful purposes, harassment, stalking, threats, discrimination, or to infer or target sensitive characteristics such as health, religion, race or ethnicity, political views, union membership, or sexual orientation;

(h) send messages that violate applicable marketing and anti-spam laws, including CAN-SPAM, GDPR and PECR, CASL, and the TCPA, or contact people who have opted out, unsubscribed, or objected;

(i) share accounts or API keys, or misrepresent your identity to us or in outreach using Argorant data.

Agency and client use. If you are an agency, consultancy, or service provider, you MAY use records you exported or revealed to perform services for a specific client — including running outreach on the client's behalf and delivering campaign results that incorporate those records — provided the work is for that client's own use, the client does not receive rights to resell or redistribute the data onward, and you remain responsible for compliance under these Terms. Delivering raw or substantially complete exports to a client as a data product (rather than as part of services) is redistribution and is not permitted.

We may audit usage patterns and apply technical controls (including seeded records) to detect violations of this Section.

API keys are issued per customer and must not be shared with, embedded for, or used on behalf of any third party. Each key is subject to the rate limits and usage limits of your plan, which we enforce technically.

Programmatic access through the REST API, MCP server, and CLI is subject to the same data license, credit metering, and restrictions as the web application. You are responsible for actions triggered by your agents, automations, integrations, webhooks, and connected systems.

We may monitor API, MCP, and CLI traffic for abuse, security, metering, and capacity planning, and may throttle, suspend, or revoke keys that exceed limits or show patterns consistent with prohibited extraction.

You retain ownership of lists, files, and other data you upload to the service ("Customer Data"). You grant us a limited, non-exclusive license to host, process, and display Customer Data solely to provide, secure, support, and improve the service for you. We process Customer Data as a processor under our Data Processing Agreement where it contains personal data.

You represent that you have the rights and permissions needed for us to process Customer Data as described, and that your Customer Data does not violate law or third-party rights.

The Chrome extension includes an optional data-contribution program. If — and only if — you explicitly opt in, the extension shares structured business-contact fields you encounter, and we may incorporate those contributed fields into the Database in exchange for credits, as described at the point of opt-in. If you do not opt in, the extension does not contribute data to the Database. Apart from this opt-in program, we do not incorporate your Customer Data, CRM records, or uploaded lists into the Database.

You may revoke the contribution opt-in at any time, which stops future contributions; fields already incorporated are handled under our Privacy Policy, including its deletion and suppression process.

Argorant and its software, designs, documentation, compilation of the Database, models, workflows, and service content are owned by Argorant or its licensors and are protected by intellectual-property and database-protection laws. Except for the license in Section 6 and the right to use the service under these Terms, no rights are granted to you.

Feedback you provide about the service may be used by us without restriction or obligation.

Our Privacy Policy explains how we handle account data, product usage data, and the business contact data in the Database. Where we process personal data in Customer Data on your behalf, our Data Processing Agreement applies.

As between you and us, you are the controller of your outreach: its content, lawful basis, notices, unsubscribe handling, and suppression lists. We will forward data subject requests we receive that concern records you have exported where we are required to do so.

The service and all data are provided on an as-is and as-available basis to the fullest extent permitted by law. We disclaim all implied warranties, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement.

The Database is compiled from multiple sources and business data changes constantly. We do not warrant that any record is accurate, complete, current, or deliverable. Email verification, confidence scores, and catch-all or risky classifications are signals that reduce — but do not eliminate — bounces and inaccuracies. You should apply your own review before relying on a record.

We do not promise uninterrupted availability, error-free operation, specific deliverability or campaign results, revenue outcomes, or compatibility with every third-party system or integration.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, neither party will be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, lost revenue, lost data, or loss of goodwill, even if advised of the possibility.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, our total aggregate liability arising out of or relating to the service or these Terms will not exceed the fees you paid to us in the 12 months before the event giving rise to the claim.

These limits do not apply where they cannot be excluded by law, and do not limit your payment obligations or either party's liability for willful misconduct.

You will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Argorant and its officers, members, employees, and agents from third-party claims, damages, fines, and reasonable costs (including attorneys' fees) arising out of your use of the service or exported data, your outreach and campaigns, your Customer Data, or your violation of these Terms or applicable law — including marketing, anti-spam, and data protection laws.

We will give you prompt notice of any claim subject to indemnification and reasonable cooperation at your expense; you may not settle a claim that imposes obligations on us without our consent.

You may stop using the service and cancel your subscription at any time as described in Section 4. We may suspend or terminate access for material breach of these Terms (including Sections 5 and 7), legal or security risk, nonpayment after notice, or discontinuation of the service.

On termination, your right to access the service ends and unconsumed credits and verification checks are forfeited. The data license in Section 6 survives for records lawfully exported during a paid subscription unless termination was for your material breach, in which case we may require deletion of exported data.

Sections that by their nature should survive will survive, including accrued payment obligations, license restrictions, intellectual property, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnification, and governing law.

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Wyoming, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply.

Any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the service will be resolved exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Wyoming, and each party consents to their jurisdiction and venue. Either party may instead bring an individual claim in small-claims court where its requirements are met.

To the extent permitted by law, each party waives any right to a jury trial and agrees that claims must be brought individually and not as part of a class or representative proceeding.

We may update these Terms as the product, law, or our business changes. For material changes we will give notice in the product or by email before the changes take effect, and the "Last updated" date above will change. Continued use of the service after the effective date constitutes acceptance. If you do not agree, cancel before the change takes effect.

These Terms, together with any signed order form, the Privacy Policy, and the Data Processing Agreement where applicable, are the entire agreement between you and us regarding the service and supersede prior agreements on the same subject.

You may not assign these Terms without our written consent; we may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets. If any provision is unenforceable, it will be limited to the minimum extent necessary and the rest remains in effect. A failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. Notices to us should be sent to legal@argorant.com; notices to you may be sent to your account email.

Neither party is liable for delay or failure caused by events beyond its reasonable control.
