9. Subscription Plans, Billing, and Payments
Splatware offers multiple subscription tiers, which may include but are not limited to Free, Creator, Professional, and Enterprise plans (each, a “Plan”). Each Plan provides access to specific features, usage allowances, processing capacity, storage limits, and other functionality as described on the Platform at the time of purchase or use. Plan features and limits may vary and are subject to change in accordance with these Terms.
Paid Plans are billed on a recurring basis (e.g., monthly or annually) and will automatically renew at the end of each billing cycle unless canceled prior to renewal. By subscribing, you authorize Splatware to charge your designated payment method automatically for all applicable fees until you cancel your subscription.
You may upgrade your Plan at any time. Upgrades may take effect immediately, and you authorize Splatware to charge any applicable prorated or additional fees at the time of the upgrade. Downgrades or cancellations will take effect at the end of the current billing cycle unless otherwise specified, and no refunds or credits will be provided for any unused time, capacity, or features.
The Free Plan is provided without charge and may be modified, limited, or discontinued at any time without notice. Splatware makes no guarantees regarding availability, functionality, or continued access to Free Plan features.
Subscription fees grant access to the Splatware platform and its processing infrastructure; they do not guarantee any specific output, result, processing speed, completion time, or commercial suitability. Splatware operates on shared computing resources, and processing workloads—including but not limited to 3D reconstruction, Gaussian splatting generation, optimization, and related tasks—may take from minutes to several hours or longer depending on project complexity, system load, queue volume, and technical factors beyond Splatware’s control.
You acknowledge and agree that processing times, performance, and results are inherently variable and are not guaranteed. Splatware does not warrant that any generated output will meet your expectations, requirements, or intended use case. Fees are charged for access to the Services and infrastructure, not for the successful generation of any particular result.
All payments are final and non-refundable to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. Splatware does not provide refunds, credits, or compensation for processing duration, system availability, queue times, perceived quality of results, partial usage, or unused subscription periods.
If a payment method fails or an account becomes delinquent, Splatware may suspend or restrict access to the Services until payment is successfully completed. Splatware reserves the right to terminate subscriptions for non-payment.
All fees are exclusive of applicable taxes, levies, or duties imposed by taxing authorities. You are responsible for payment of all such taxes, excluding only those based solely on Splatware’s net income.
Splatware reserves the right to modify pricing, introduce new fees, change Plan structures, or adjust usage limits at any time upon reasonable notice, which may be provided via email, account notification, or posting on the Platform. Continued use of the Services after such notice constitutes acceptance of the updated fees.
10. Marketplace Terms
The Splatware Marketplace enables users (“Sellers”) to list, offer, distribute, and sell or provide for free digital assets, including but not limited to 3D models, Gaussian splatting files, datasets, and related materials (collectively, “Marketplace Content”) to other users (“Buyers”).
Splatware provides the Marketplace as a technical platform only and is not the creator, seller, reseller, or licensor of Marketplace Content unless explicitly stated. Transactions occur solely between Buyers and Sellers. Splatware does not assume responsibility for the accuracy, legality, quality, safety, or usefulness of any Marketplace Content.
- Seller Responsibilities. Sellers represent and warrant that they possess all necessary rights, licenses, and permissions to upload, distribute, and offer their Marketplace Content, whether for payment or free of charge. Sellers are solely responsible for their listings and any claims arising from them.
- License to Buyers. Upon purchase or download, Buyers receive the usage rights described in the listing at the time of acquisition. Unless explicitly stated otherwise, intellectual property ownership is not transferred, only a license to use the content.
- No Quality Guarantee. Marketplace Content is provided “as is.” Splatware makes no representations or warranties regarding technical quality, accuracy, completeness, usability, performance, legality, or fitness for a particular purpose. Buyers assume full responsibility for evaluating whether Marketplace Content meets their needs.
- No Refund Policy. All Marketplace transactions are final. No refunds, chargebacks, credits, or reversals will be issued based on dissatisfaction with quality, compatibility, performance, or subjective expectations, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.
- Platform Discretion and Enforcement. Splatware reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to review, remove, suspend, restrict, or modify any listing or Marketplace Content at any time, with or without notice, including in response to complaints, alleged violations, legal concerns, or risk mitigation.
- Transaction Review and Reversal Rights. Splatware may investigate disputes or complaints and reserves the right to suspend payouts, remove listings, or reverse transactions where reasonably necessary to enforce these Terms, comply with law, or protect the integrity of the Marketplace.
- Payouts to Sellers. Sellers may request payout of earned funds only after reaching the minimum payout threshold of fifty euros (€50). Splatware may delay or withhold payouts where fraud, abuse, policy violations, or legal obligations are suspected.
- Fees and Commissions. Splatware may charge service fees, commissions, or processing fees on Marketplace transactions, as disclosed at the time of sale.
- Compliance with Laws. Users are solely responsible for complying with all applicable tax, copyright, export, and commercial regulations related to their Marketplace activities.
Splatware does not guarantee Marketplace availability, visibility of listings, sales performance, or uninterrupted operation. Access to Marketplace features may be limited, modified, or discontinued at any time.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Splatware disclaims all liability arising from Marketplace transactions, including disputes between Buyers and Sellers, content defects, infringement claims, or financial losses resulting from use or reliance on Marketplace Content.
11. Intellectual Property
All intellectual property rights in and to the Services, including but not limited to the platform, website, software, documentation, designs, graphics, logos, branding, trademarks, and any related technologies (collectively, "Splatware Assets") are and shall remain the exclusive property of Splatware or its licensors. The Services are protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws, both domestically and internationally.
Nothing in these Terms grants you any rights in or to any Splatware Assets, except for the limited license expressly set forth in Section 5. You agree not to copy, modify, distribute, sell, or lease any part of the Services or Splatware Assets, nor may you reverse engineer or attempt to extract the source code of any software, unless applicable laws prohibit such restrictions or you have our express written permission.
You may not use any Splatware trademarks, logos, or other branding materials without our prior written consent. Any unauthorized use may violate applicable laws and result in legal consequences.
All feedback, suggestions, ideas, or other submissions you provide regarding the Services are non-confidential and shall become the sole property of Splatware. We may use such submissions without any obligation to you.
12. Third-Party Services
The Services may integrate, incorporate, or otherwise interact with third-party services, products, software, or applications, including but not limited to Firebase (by Google), artificial intelligence engines, hosting providers, analytics tools, and payment processors ("Third-Party Services").
Your use of any Third-Party Services through or in connection with Splatware is subject to the separate terms and conditions and privacy policies of those third parties. You are solely responsible for reading, understanding, and complying with all applicable third-party terms. Splatware does not control, endorse, or assume any responsibility for any Third-Party Services, and your dealings with such third parties are solely between you and the applicable third party.
You acknowledge that Splatware shall not be liable, directly or indirectly, for any loss or damage caused or alleged to be caused by or in connection with the use of or reliance on any Third-Party Services. Without limiting the foregoing, services such as Firebase, used for data storage, authentication, and hosting functionalities, are governed by Google’s terms of service and privacy policies, which you agree to comply with.
If you do not agree to the terms of any Third-Party Service, you must not use the aspects of the Services that rely upon such Third-Party Services.
13. Disclaimers and Limitation of Liability
The Services are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis without warranties of any kind, either express or implied. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Splatware disclaims all warranties, express, implied, statutory, or otherwise, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement.
Splatware does not guarantee that the Services will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, error-free, or free from viruses or other harmful components. Splatware makes no warranties regarding the accuracy, completeness, or reliability of any content available through the Services or the results obtained from using the Services.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Splatware, its affiliates, directors, employees, agents, suppliers, or licensors shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including without limitation loss of profits, data, use, goodwill, or other intangible losses, resulting from (i) your access to or use of or inability to access or use the Services; (ii) any conduct or content of any third party on the Services; (iii) any content obtained from the Services; and (iv) unauthorized access, use, or alteration of your transmissions or content.
In no event shall Splatware’s aggregate liability exceed the greater of one hundred dollars ($100) or the amount you paid Splatware, if any, in the twelve (12) months preceding the claim. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of liability, so the above limitation may not apply to you.
14. Indemnification
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Splatware, its affiliates, directors, officers, employees, and agents from and against any and all claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, arising out of or in any way connected with:

- Your User Content, including any allegation that your User Content infringes or misappropriates any intellectual property or other rights of a third party.
- Your violation of these Terms or any applicable law or regulation.
- Your gross negligence or willful misconduct.
Splatware reserves the right, at its own expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you, in which event you will cooperate fully with Splatware in asserting any available defenses.
15. Termination
Splatware may, in its sole discretion and without prior notice, suspend or terminate your access to the Services at any time for any reason, including but not limited to your violation of these Terms, illegal or fraudulent activity, prolonged inactivity, or harm to other users or to Splatware.
You may terminate your account at any time by following the instructions within your account settings or by contacting Splatware support. Termination will result in the deactivation or deletion of your account and the forfeiture and relinquishment of all content associated with your account, subject to applicable laws and our data retention policies.
Upon termination, your right to access and use the Services will immediately cease. Splatware shall not be liable to you or any third party for termination of your access to the Services or deletion of your data, provided that we comply with applicable data protection laws regarding the handling and disposal of personal data.
