# Arc Account Research Preview Terms

Arc Account may provide access to Arc products during a research preview. Preview access is provided for evaluation and personal research use unless a separate written agreement says otherwise.

Core local features remain available without an account where the product supports them. Account activation may be required for preview authorization, renewal, support, billing linkage, and other account-governed capabilities.

Arc may change preview availability, introduce paid plans, or materially change preview access only with at least 30 days' notice where the Arc Account preview notice applies.

Do not upload workspace content, secrets, private prompts, source files, or compiled state into Arc Account support unless Arc explicitly asks for a safe diagnostic artifact through a governed support process.
