Legal
Terms of use
The terms for using the Arcvelle website and free browser-based design tools, including your designs, our content and the limits of our responsibility.
This document is a template written for Arcvelle as it works today. It has not yet been reviewed by a lawyer and will be updated before accounts, payments or AI features launch.
These terms apply when you use arcvelle.com, Arcvelle Studio and the other Arcvelle tools. They are provided by Arcvelle ("we", "us"). By using the site you agree to them. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.
The service today
Arcvelle offers free design tools that run in your web browser. There are no accounts, no paid plans and no cloud storage at present. Your projects are saved in your browser on the device you use, and the tools create renders and exports on your device.
Accounts, cloud storage, payments and AI features are planned. These terms will be updated before any of them launch, and additional terms may apply to them.
Using the tools
You may use the tools for personal and commercial design work, including producing plans, visuals, drawings, bills of materials and quotes for your own clients. You agree to use the site lawfully and in line with our acceptable use policy.
Your designs and content
You keep ownership of the designs you create and the images and files you bring into the tools. Because your projects are stored in your browser, you are responsible for keeping copies. Clearing your browser data, changing device or using a private window can remove them, and we cannot recover them. Exporting a project file regularly is the safest way to keep a backup.
When you share a design using a share link, the design is carried inside the link. Anyone with the link can view it, so you are responsible for who you send it to.
Our content
The website, the tools, the 3D models, materials, templates, text and graphics provided by Arcvelle belong to us or our licensors. You may use the models, materials and templates within your designs and in the renders and exports you produce. You may not copy, extract or redistribute them as a standalone library or use them to build a competing product.
Accuracy and professional advice
The tools help you plan and visualise spaces. They do not replace a measured survey, structural advice or professional checks. Dimensions, quantities, quotes and drawings depend on what you enter and are estimates. Before you build, order materials or sign contracts, check all measurements on site and confirm that the work meets building regulations, safety requirements and any approvals needed where you live. Smart Layout and the kitchen planner follow general planning rules and may not suit every situation.
Design services
If you engage us for design services, such as kitchen or full-home design, the scope, fees and timing are agreed separately in writing for each project. These terms apply to your use of the website; the separate agreement applies to the services.
Availability
We aim to keep the site available and working, but we provide it free and "as is", and we may change, suspend or withdraw features at any time. Some features need a recent browser with WebGL and may not work on every device.
Limits of our responsibility
To the extent the law allows, we are not responsible for loss of projects stored in your browser, for decisions made using the tools' outputs, or for indirect or consequential loss. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law, or affects rights you have as a consumer under the laws that apply to you.
Links
The site may link to other websites. We are not responsible for their content or practices.
Changes to these terms
We may update these terms. The date at the top shows the latest version. If you keep using the site after a change, the updated terms apply.
Governing law
The governing law and the courts that deal with disputes about these terms will be confirmed after legal review.
