2. Purpose and Scope of ARC

ARC provides educational experiences and structured resilience training designed to help individuals develop greater awareness, regulation skills, movement confidence, physical capacity, and practical self-management strategies.

ARC’s training may include discussions of the nervous system, chronic pain, stress responses, breathing, movement, physical conditioning, and related subjects.

ARC’s services are intended for educational and personal development purposes.

Participation does not guarantee specific physical, psychological, or personal outcomes.

​

3. Educational and Medical Disclaimer

ARC is not a medical practice, healthcare provider, physical therapy clinic, or mental health treatment service.

ARC does not diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent medical or psychological conditions.

Information provided through ARC is not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

Participants are encouraged to consult qualified healthcare professionals regarding medical concerns, existing conditions, changes in symptoms, or questions about the appropriateness of physical activities.

Never disregard professional medical advice or delay seeking appropriate care because of information obtained through ARC.

In an emergency, seek immediate assistance from appropriate emergency services.

​

4. Participation and Personal Responsibility

ARC emphasizes individual awareness, informed decision-making, and the gradual development of personal capacity.

Participants are responsible for making decisions about their own participation, including whether particular exercises, activities, or practices are appropriate for their circumstances.

Some training activities may involve breathing exercises, physical movement, strength training, or exploration of personal experiences. These activities may involve discomfort or risks, including the possibility of injury or symptom aggravation.

Participants are encouraged to work within their current capabilities, communicate relevant concerns, and seek professional guidance when appropriate.

ARC does not guarantee that any particular activity or technique will be suitable for every individual.

Additional risk disclosures and acknowledgments may be provided through program-specific enrollment documents.

​

5. Discovery Calls and Enrollment

ARC may offer complimentary discovery calls to discuss an individual’s goals, questions, and potential fit with ARC programs.

A discovery call does not guarantee acceptance into a program or establish a healthcare relationship.

Program enrollment, pricing, payment arrangements, scheduling, cancellation policies, and refund terms will be communicated through the applicable enrollment or purchase process.

ARC reserves the right to decline enrollment or discontinue services for legitimate operational, safety, or participation-related reasons, subject to applicable law and any governing agreements.

​

6. Community Participation and Conduct

Deliberate disclosure of another participant’s private information without authorization

Unauthorized sharing of restricted ARC materials or recordings

Disruptive or abusive conduct that substantially interferes with community activities

Use of ARC platforms for unlawful purposes

ARC may moderate discussions, restrict access, or remove individuals from community spaces when reasonably necessary to protect participants, maintain community standards, or address violations of these Terms of Use.

Any effect on paid program access or refunds will be governed by applicable enrollment agreements and law.

​

7. Privacy and Confidentiality

ARC recognizes that participants may share personal experiences, including sensitive health-related information.

ARC handles personal information according to its Privacy Policy.

Participants are expected to respect the privacy of others and refrain from sharing identifiable personal disclosures outside their intended audience without permission.

However, ARC cannot guarantee confidentiality in group discussions, online communities, or recorded sessions.

Participants are encouraged to use discretion when sharing sensitive information.

​

8. Live Sessions and Recordings

ARC may record live cohort training sessions and open community calls for educational review and ongoing community access.

Cohort recordings are intended for the respective cohort, while open community call recordings may be accessible to the broader ARC community.

Recordings may be hosted as unlisted YouTube videos and shared through Discord.

Unlisted videos are not fully private. Individuals who obtain the link may be able to access or redistribute the recording.

Participants will receive notice of recording practices, and ARC will obtain consent where required by applicable law.

Participants may not independently record, publish, distribute, or reproduce ARC sessions or recordings without appropriate authorization.

ARC generally intends to retain educational recordings indefinitely, although continued access or availability is not guaranteed.

Further recording permissions, participant consent, and related requirements may be established through separate enrollment agreements or notices.

​

9. Intellectual Property

Unless otherwise stated, ARC’s original educational materials, training frameworks, written content, graphics, videos, recordings, branding, logos, and other original resources are owned by ARC or used with appropriate authorization.

Participants may use authorized materials for their own personal educational purposes, subject to any additional license terms.

Without prior written authorization, users may not reproduce, sell, redistribute, publicly display, or commercially exploit ARC’s protected materials.

These restrictions do not limit rights otherwise permitted by applicable law.
