In short
- Your work is yours. You own your models and every render you make, and you can use your renders for anything, including commercial work.
- It's free to use today. If that ever changes, we'll tell you before it does.
- Use it fairly. Don't misuse the site, and only bring in models you have the right to use.
- It's provided as it is. We work hard to make it right and we check it against pbrt-v4, but we can't promise it will never be wrong or unavailable.
These terms apply to auddomate.com, including the studio, the Docs and the changelog, which we call "Auddomate" or "the service". By using Auddomate, you agree to them. In them, "we" and "us" mean the people who run Auddomate, and "you" means you, or the organisation you use Auddomate for.
Using Auddomate
Auddomate is a renderer that runs in your web browser, on your own graphics card. You can use it without an account, for personal, educational and commercial work.
We're always improving Auddomate, so features may be added, changed or, occasionally, removed. We'll describe meaningful changes in the changelog.
Your work
You own your models, textures, HDRIs and scenes, and you own every render you make with Auddomate. We claim no rights in them. Because Auddomate runs on your computer, we never receive them; see our Privacy policy.
You're responsible for having the rights to anything you bring into Auddomate, and for how you use your renders. Renders of the built-in scenes, such as the Rum bottle or the Perfume, are yours to use as well. The brands shown in them, like Calder & Vane, are fictional and invented for those scenes.
Using it fairly
Please don't:
- use Auddomate to break the law or to infringe anyone else's rights,
- try to disrupt, overload or gain unauthorised access to auddomate.com or the servers behind it,
- present Auddomate, or a copy of it, as your own product or service, or use our name and marks in a way that suggests we endorse you, or
- use automated tools to request the site in a way that places an unreasonable load on it.
If someone misuses the service, we may block their access to protect it for everyone else.
Our work
The Auddomate name, logo and wordmark, the website, the Docs and the Auddomate software belong to Auddomate. The terms above let you use them to make renders; they don't transfer ownership or let you redistribute the software. Some parts of Auddomate are made by others and used under their own licences, which are listed on our Licences page.
Price and paid plans
Auddomate is free to use today. In the future we may offer paid plans with additional features, as described on our Pricing page. If we do, the price and the terms for any paid plan will be shown clearly before you buy, and you'll never be charged without choosing to pay. We won't take away what you can do with Auddomate today without giving notice first.
Accuracy and the checks
Auddomate is checked against pbrt-v4, an independent, open-source reference renderer, and you can run the checks yourself. The checks give good reason for confidence, but they cover specific test scenes, not every scene anyone could make. Auddomate is not certified by pbrt-v4 or its authors.
Renders are images for creative and visual work. Please don't rely on them alone for engineering, safety, lighting design or other decisions where an error could cause harm.
No warranty
Auddomate is provided "as is" and "as available". To the fullest extent the law allows, we make no promises, express or implied, that it will be error-free, uninterrupted, or suitable for any particular purpose, or that it will work on every computer, browser or graphics card. Keep your own copies of anything that matters, such as by downloading your renders and scenes.
Limits on liability
To the fullest extent the law allows, we aren't liable for any indirect, incidental, special or consequential loss, or for lost data, profits or work, arising from your use of Auddomate, even if we were told such loss was possible. Because Auddomate is free, our total liability to you for any claim is limited to one hundred Canadian dollars (CAD 100).
Nothing in these terms limits rights you have under consumer protection laws that can't be excluded by agreement.
Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada that apply there. Any dispute will be handled by the courts of Ontario, unless the law where you live gives you the right to bring it elsewhere.
Changes to these terms
We may update these terms as Auddomate grows. When we do, we'll change the date at the top of this page, and for significant changes we'll say so in the changelog. If you keep using Auddomate after a change, the updated terms apply.
