The terms, in plain language.
These terms cover your use of Community Archives. We've kept them short and readable on purpose.
The service
Community Archives imports conversation history from WhatsApp or Slack and turns it into a private, searchable web archive for your community.
Your account
You're responsible for your account, for keeping access to it secure, and for the admins you invite. Members enter through the identity they already use with your community — no new passwords to manage on their side.
Trial and billing
Each archive starts with a 7-day free trial. After the trial, a paid subscription is required to keep the archive live. Billing is handled by Stripe, and you won't be charged during the trial.
Acceptable use
- Only archive communities you administer or have permission to archive.
- Don't use the service to scrape or archive communities you don't run.
- Comply with WhatsApp's and Slack's own terms when you connect a source.
- Don't use the archive to harass members or to republish private content outside its intended access level.
Who owns the content
Your community's content stays yours. Community Archives stores and organizes it to provide the archive; it does not claim ownership of your messages, files, or media.
Cancellation and deletion
You can cancel anytime. On cancellation, your archive is deleted on request. To cancel, delete data, or request a copy, email support@community-archives.com.
Disclaimers and liability
Community Archives is provided “as is.” We work hard to keep imports accurate and the archive available, but we can't guarantee the service will be uninterrupted or error-free, and we're not liable for indirect or consequential losses. Nothing here limits rights you can't waive under applicable law.
Changes to these terms
We may update these terms as the product grows. If we make a material change, we'll note it here and update the date below. Continued use after a change means you accept the updated terms.
