Terms of Service

In development
Our full Terms of Service are being finalized with legal counsel.
We’ll publish the complete document here when it’s finalized. In the meantime, these are the operating principles already in effect.
How we operate today
- Compensation comes from research sites. Arctuva connects you to studies and surfaces compensation amounts. The research site or sponsor handles payment directly. Arctuva does not process payments or hold funds.
- Self-reported earnings are for your reference. The wallet feature is for your own tracking. Arctuva doesn't verify amounts and doesn't issue 1099s. Consult a tax professional for filing guidance.
- Your account is free. Creating an account and browsing studies is always free. Arctuva Pro is an optional subscription that adds features like the earnings wallet and compensation alerts.
- Eligibility is final at the study site. We do our best to filter studies you appear to qualify for, but the final eligibility determination is made by the study site during their screening process.
- No medical advice. Arctuva is a recruitment platform, not a medical provider. Plain-English summaries of trial protocols are for informational purposes only.
