These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of the Arc mobile application ("App") provided by EmoryJoule LLC ("EmoryJoule," "we," "our," or "us"), a company based in Atlanta, Georgia, USA. By downloading or using Arc, you agree to be bound by these Terms.

If you do not agree to these Terms, do not download or use the App.


1. Not Medical Advice — Read This First

Arc is a personal data logging and social accountability app. It is not a medical device, clinical tool, healthcare service, or substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment of any kind.

EmoryJoule is a software company — not a healthcare provider, medical practice, or licensed health professional. Arc does not employ physicians, dietitians, certified trainers, therapists, or any other licensed health professionals in connection with the services provided through the App.

Everything Arc displays — including workout logs, nutrition totals, macro estimates, water intake, weight trends, sleep summaries, heart rate data, HRV readings, mood entries, AI-generated Daily Brief summaries, food scan estimates, crew scores, correlations, and any other data output — is provided for general informational and motivational purposes only. This information:

Always seek the advice of your physician or other qualified health provider before starting a new fitness program, making changes to your diet, or with any questions you may have about a medical condition. Never disregard professional medical advice or delay seeking it because of something you read or see in Arc.

If you are experiencing a medical emergency, call 911 or your local emergency services immediately. Arc is not designed for and must not be used in emergency situations.
