These Terms of Use (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the Seated mobile application (“Seated”, “the App”) and the website at seated.arktik.tech (the “Site”), provided by Arktik (“we”, “us”, “our”). Contact: contact@arktik.tech.
By downloading, accessing or using the App or Site, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy.
1. What Seated is
Seated helps you create seating arrangements from a guest list, tables and rules, and optionally generate printable documents (such as a table plan, find-your-table sheet and place cards). Seated provides planning tools and suggestions; you remain responsible for reviewing and approving any arrangement before you rely on it for an event.
2. Eligibility
You must be able to form a binding contract in your jurisdiction to use Seated. The App is intended for adults planning events, not for children.
3. Your content and responsibility
You are solely responsible for the guest information, rules and event details you enter, and for verifying that printed or shared documents are accurate and appropriate for your venue, caterer and guests.
Seated’s solver aims to honour the constraints you set and to report conflicts it can detect. It cannot know social context you did not encode as rules, and it may be unable to seat everyone when constraints conflict or capacity is insufficient. You must review the plan — including any unseated guests and reported problems — before the event.
4. Licence to use the App
Subject to these Terms, we grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to use Seated on devices you own or control, as permitted by the App Store terms. You may not copy, modify, distribute, reverse engineer (except where prohibited restrictions are not allowed by law), rent or sublicense the App.
5. Purchases
Planning features in Seated are available without payment. Unlocking printable documents may require a one-time in-app purchase processed by Apple. Prices are shown in the App and charged to your Apple ID.
- Document unlock is sold as a non-consumable / one-time purchase, not a renewable subscription, unless we clearly offer a different product in the App later.
- Payment, billing, taxes and refunds for App Store purchases are handled by Apple under Apple’s terms. Request refunds through Apple where applicable.
- Restore Purchase is available for eligible Apple ID purchases on your devices.
6. Acceptable use
You agree not to:
- Misuse the App or Site, including attempting to disrupt or probe them
- Use Seated to violate law or others’ rights
- Misrepresent that Arktik endorses your event or venue
- Scrape or republish the Site in a way that competes with or misleads about Seated
7. Intellectual property
Seated, its design, text, graphics and software are owned by Arktik or its licensors. These Terms do not transfer ownership to you. Feedback you send to contact@arktik.tech may be used to improve the product without obligation to you.
8. Third-party services
The App may rely on Apple services (App Store, StoreKit, printing/share system features) and, when enabled, purchase entitlement services. Your use of those services is also subject to their terms.
9. Disclaimer
THE APP AND SITE ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE”. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE DISCLAIM WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT SEATING RESULTS WILL BE ERROR-FREE, COMPLETE, OR SUITABLE FOR YOUR EVENT WITHOUT YOUR REVIEW.
10. Limitation of liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ARKTIK AND ITS OPERATORS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST PROFITS, LOST DATA, OR EVENT-RELATED COSTS ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF SEATED — INCLUDING SEATING DECISIONS, PRINTED MATERIALS, OR VENUE/CATERER COMMUNICATIONS — EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR CLAIMS RELATING TO THE APP OR SITE WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US FOR SEATED DOCUMENT UNLOCK IN THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM OR (B) USD $30.
Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations; in those places, our liability is limited to the fullest extent allowed.
11. Indemnity
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Arktik from claims arising out of your misuse of the App, your guest data, or your failure to review a seating plan before relying on it, except to the extent caused by our wilful misconduct.
12. Termination
You may stop using Seated at any time by deleting the App. We may suspend or stop offering the App or Site, or restrict access if you materially breach these Terms. Provisions that by nature should survive (including ownership, disclaimers and liability limits) will survive.
13. Changes
We may update these Terms by posting a new version on the Site and updating the “Last updated” date. Continued use after changes means you accept the updated Terms.
14. Governing law
These Terms are governed by the laws applicable to Arktik’s principal place of business, without regard to conflict-of-law rules, except where mandatory consumer protections in your country require otherwise. Courts in that jurisdiction will have exclusive venue for disputes, subject to those mandatory protections.

16. Apple-specific notice
These Terms are between you and Arktik, not Apple. Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support for Seated. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no warranty obligation for the App; any claims relating to the App are between you and Arktik. Apple is a third-party beneficiary of these Terms and may enforce them against you regarding your use of the App on iOS.
