The rules of participating in ARA.

ARA is the Emotional Signal Infrastructure Layer and the consumer platform built on top of it. RAE is a perceptive presence, not a therapist, doctor, or clinical service.

Nothing on ARA constitutes medical, psychological, or clinical advice. If you need help, reach a qualified professional.

• You must be at least 13 years old to use ARA
• You are responsible for your account credentials
• One account per person; account-integrity checks do not establish a person's emotional state
• Provide accurate information during sign-up
• You can delete your account any time from Settings

Elementals are original characters created and operated by ARA. Their videos, colors, captions and comments are produced by ARA, including with the help of AI tools. They are not real people, and nothing they post describes a real person's life, health or advice. Every person is shown this notice and asked to acknowledge it before Elementals appear.

• Elemental accounts look and work like other accounts so ARA can show how the platform is used
• Tips sent to an Elemental are received by ARA, are voluntary and are not refundable once confirmed
• Elementals never ask for money, personal information, or private conversations
• Your reactions to Elemental posts are kept as a separate class of signal from reactions to people
• Reactions to Elementals are not used to earn rewards or as evidence about real people
• ARA moderates Elemental content under the same rules as everyone else

You retain ownership of content you create on ARA. By posting, you grant ARA a worldwide, royalty-free license to display, distribute, and promote your content on the platform.

• Hate speech, harassment, or targeted abuse
• Sexual content involving minors, reported to authorities without exception
• Graphic violence, self-harm promotion, or incitement
• Spam, scams, and coordinated inauthentic behavior
• Scraping, reverse-engineering, or extracting the underlying signal corpus
• Attempting to identify individual users from aggregate insights
• Using ARA output to diagnose, treat, or make clinical decisions about anyone

Everything about how emotional signals are collected, used, retained, and deleted lives in the Privacy policy. That policy is part of these terms.

Creators earn ARA$ through engagement and can request payouts once minimums are met. ARA$ is platform currency with no guaranteed external exchange value. Payout thresholds, subscription tiers, and reward rates may change with notice.

The Emotional Signal Infrastructure Layer, RAE, Color Pulse, Behavioral Attestation Layer, Echo Trails, Mood Stacks, the ARA SDK, and all associated systems, ontologies, branding, and technology are the intellectual property of ARA.

• No reverse-engineering of the SDK, models, or signal pipeline
• No unauthorized reproduction of the brand, product surfaces, or protected copy
• SDK access is granted under separate license terms to approved developers

• ARA is provided as-is, without warranties of any kind
• ARA is not a medical or diagnostic service
• RAE reflections are for personal insight, not clinical guidance
• ARA is not liable for content posted by users
• Service availability is not guaranteed

We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these terms. You may delete your account any time. On termination, personal data is deleted per the Privacy policy; aggregate, non-identifying data may be retained.

These terms are governed by applicable law. Disputes are resolved through binding arbitration unless prohibited by law.
