Terms of Service
Last updated: December 2024 (v1.1)
1. Acceptance of Terms
By accessing and using Automatic3D ("the Service"), you accept and agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree to these terms, please do not use this service.
2. Service Description
Automatic3D provides AI-powered 3D model generation from text descriptions. The service:
- Generates multi-view images from text prompts using AI
- Creates 3D meshes in STL format from those views
- Provides geometry intended for 3D printing, CAD reference, and other applications
Important: Results may vary and are not guaranteed to match exact specifications. AI generation is probabilistic and may produce unexpected, inaccurate, or unsuitable outputs. Generated models are intended as starting points and may require modification for your specific use case.
3. User Accounts
To use the Service, you must:
- Create an account using Google OAuth or magic link
- Provide accurate account information
- Be at least 13 years old
- Be responsible for maintaining account security
4. Pricing and Billing
Free Tier: 3 model generations per month at no cost. Free tier models are not stored after generation.
Pay as You Go: $2.95 per model generation beyond the free tier ($0.25 for concept views + $2.70 for mesh). Billing is metered and invoiced monthly through Stripe.
Failed Generations: If a generation fails due to a system error, we will not charge for that generation. Failures due to inappropriate or invalid prompts are not eligible for refunds.
5. Data Retention
- Free tier models are not stored after generation
- Paid models are stored for 30 days, then automatically deleted
- You are responsible for downloading models before expiration
- We are not liable for lost models after the retention period
6. Ownership and License
Your Content: You retain all rights to the 3D models you create using our service. You may use generated models for any legal purpose, including commercial use.
Our Service: We retain all rights to the Automatic3D platform, including our software, algorithms, and branding. You may not copy, modify, or reverse engineer our service.
No IP Warranty: We make no representation or warranty that generated models are free from third-party intellectual property claims. AI-generated content may inadvertently resemble existing copyrighted works, trademarks, or patented designs. You are solely responsible for conducting your own intellectual property clearance before using any generated model for commercial purposes.
7. Acceptable Use
You agree not to use the Service to:
- Generate illegal, harmful, or offensive content
- Create weapons, drugs, or other dangerous items
- Infringe on intellectual property rights
- Attempt to bypass usage limits or security measures
- Resell or redistribute the service without permission
- Use automated scripts to abuse the API
We reserve the right to suspend accounts that violate these terms.
8. User Responsibility for Generated Content
Your Prompts, Your Responsibility: You are solely responsible for the text prompts you submit and all content generated from those prompts. We do not review, approve, or endorse any generated content before delivery.
No Content Moderation: While we prohibit certain categories of content in our Acceptable Use policy, we do not pre-screen generated outputs. You acknowledge that you may receive unexpected or unintended results and are responsible for evaluating all generated content before use.
Intellectual Property Compliance: You represent and warrant that your prompts do not intentionally infringe on any third-party intellectual property rights. You are responsible for ensuring that your use of generated models does not violate any copyrights, trademarks, patents, or other proprietary rights.
Commercial Use Due Diligence: If you use generated models for commercial purposes, you are responsible for conducting appropriate due diligence, including intellectual property searches and legal review as needed for your jurisdiction and use case.
9. No Guarantees on Output Quality or Fitness
We make no guarantees regarding the quality, accuracy, completeness, or fitness for any particular purpose of generated models. Specifically, we do not guarantee that generated models will:
- Match your expectations or the description in your prompt
- Be suitable for 3D printing on any particular printer or with any particular material
- Be structurally sound, watertight, or manufacturable
- Be accurate in dimensions, scale, or proportions
- Be suitable for CAD integration or engineering applications without modification
- Meet any safety, regulatory, or compliance requirements
- Be free from defects, errors, or artifacts
You are solely responsible for evaluating whether any generated model is appropriate for your intended use. We strongly recommend reviewing and testing all models before production use, 3D printing, or incorporation into any project.
10. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Automatic3D, its officers, directors, employees, agents, and affiliates from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or relating to:
