Quick clarification of "preprint"

In the copyright transfer agreement of a journal there is the following sentence:

"The Author warrants that the Work has not been published before in any form except as a preprint."

Nowhere do they mention ArXiv specifically, but does "published to ArXiv" fall under "published as a preprint"?
