1. The service
GearSuite is a Materializa engineering application for designing, inspecting and exporting gears and drive mechanisms. These terms apply when you access the website, use guest mode or create an account.
2. Accounts and guest access
- You must provide accurate information and keep access to your account secure.
- You are responsible for activity performed through your account.
- Guest projects may exist only in local browser storage and can be lost when browser data is cleared.
- We may limit, suspend or close access that is abusive, unlawful or harmful to the service or other users.
3. Engineering responsibility
GearSuite supports engineering work but does not replace professional judgement, physical testing, certification or an independent safety review. You are responsible for verifying dimensions, materials, tolerances, loads, manufacturing choices and fitness for the intended use before producing or operating any part.
4. Your projects
You retain your rights in project data and designs you create. You grant Materializa only the rights needed to host, process, back up and deliver that content as part of GearSuite. You must have the right to upload or process any content you use with the service.
5. GearSuite intellectual property
The GearSuite software, interface, branding, documentation and underlying technology belong to Materializa or its licensors. These terms permit use of the service; they do not transfer ownership of its source code, brand or platform technology.
6. Acceptable use
- Do not attempt to bypass access controls, disrupt the service or gain unauthorised access.
- Do not use GearSuite to infringe rights, break the law or distribute malicious content.
- Do not overload, scrape or reverse engineer the hosted service except where applicable law expressly permits it.
7. Availability and plans
Features, limits and free or paid plans may change as the product develops. We aim to keep GearSuite available and accurate, but the service may contain errors or be interrupted for maintenance, security or circumstances outside our control.
8. Liability
To the extent permitted by law, GearSuite is provided without guarantees that every result or export is suitable for a particular manufacturing or safety-critical purpose. Materializa is not responsible for indirect losses or for losses caused by relying on unverified engineering output. Nothing in these terms excludes liability that cannot legally be excluded.
9. Contact and applicable law
