End User License Agreement

This is the agreement between you and us covering the Arti application for macOS. It is between the two of us only. Apple is not a party to it, even though Apple is the shop you bought it from — section 11 explains what that means in practice.

If you would rather not agree to it, do not install Arti, and Apple will refund you.

In one paragraph. Free to use, with no account. Run it on every Mac you
own and use what you draw for anything you like, including paid client work —
your plans are yours, with no royalty and no credit owed. Don't resell the app
itself, don't decompile it, don't pretend you wrote it. It comes with no
promise that it is fit for engineering, construction or legal purposes: it
draws plans, it does not certify them. If it doesn't work, Apple will refund
you, and your statutory consumer rights are untouched by anything here.

1. Who you are agreeing with

Invent Better — Mickael Romaniello EI
France

contact@artiplans.com — for this agreement and for the app

Throughout this document "we", "us" and "our" mean that company, and "you" means the person or organisation using Arti.

2. What you are getting

A licence, not ownership. We keep the copyright in Arti; you get a personal, worldwide, non-exclusive, non-transferable right to use it, on the terms below, for as long as you comply with them.

Where you may run it. On any Apple-branded computer that you own or control, in line with the Usage Rules of Apple's Media Services Terms and Conditions. Those rules are what let a family sharing group use the same purchase; they are Apple's rules and we do not add to them.

What you may do with what you make. Everything. The plans, exports and images you produce with Arti are yours, entirely and without royalty. We claim no rights in them and no licence to them. Use them commercially, publish them, sell them, hand them to a client, put them in a listing. You do not need our permission and you do not owe us a credit.

That includes the furniture, materials and door models that appear in your plan: they ship under CC0 or were written for this project, and the exported image is unencumbered. See <https://artiplans.com/credits> for the full provenance.

3. What you may not do

• Redistribute the app itself. Don't sell it, rent it, lend it, sublicense it, or make it available on a network or a download site. One exception: you may transfer your copy permanently to another person if you keep no copy and they accept this agreement — subject to whatever Apple's own rules permit.
• Reverse-engineer it. No decompiling, disassembling or deriving the source code — except exactly as far as French and EU law says you may anyway (Articles L.122-6-1 of the Code de la propriété intellectuelle, implementing the Software Directive: you retain the rights to observe, study and test, to make a back-up copy, and to decompile for interoperability). We are not trying to take those away, and could not.
• Strip or alter our notices — copyright lines, credits, the licence texts bundled with the app.
• Use our name or our marks to promote something else, or in a way that suggests we endorse it.
• Use it unlawfully, or to build something you are not permitted to build.

Break these and the licence ends automatically. You then have to stop using the app and delete it. Your plans are yours and remain on your Mac; nothing in this section touches them.

4. Price

Arti is free. There is no purchase, no subscription and no in-app purchase. You do not need an account: download it, open it, draw. There is no sign-up wall, no email to hand over and no trial clock, and what you get is not a crippled demo — it is the app.

If that ever changes, two things will not. The version you already have keeps working, and we will not switch off a feature you already had. Any future paid option would be announced with its own terms, and this section would be rewritten to describe it rather than left vague.

Arti is distributed through the Mac App Store, so if a price is ever attached to anything, Apple takes the payment, issues the receipt and applies the VAT — not us.

5. Updates

We may issue updates through the App Store. Apple installs them according to your own settings; we don't push anything.

We are not obliged to keep releasing updates forever. What we will do is say so plainly if Arti stops being maintained, rather than letting it decay silently. If an update requires a newer macOS than the version you run, the last compatible build stays available to you through the App Store's purchase history.

An update may change, add or remove features. Where a removal would matter, it goes in the release notes.

6. Support

Support is our responsibility, not Apple's — Apple has no obligation whatsoever to provide maintenance or support for Arti.

We provide it by email at contact@artiplans.com, in English or French, on a reasonable-efforts basis. There is no guaranteed response time and no service-level commitment. In practice you get an answer from the person who wrote the code.

7. What Arti is not

This matters more here than in most software, so it is not buried in capitals at the end.

Arti is a drawing tool, not an instrument of measurement, certification or compliance. It will happily draw a plan that could not be built. It does not check building regulations, fire codes, structural loads, accessibility requirements, thermal performance, or the planning rules of any country. Its areas and dimensions are the ones you entered or dragged; they are arithmetic on your input, not a survey.

Do not use an Arti plan as:

• a substitute for a measured survey, an architect's drawing or an engineer's calculation;
• a submission to a planning authority or a building control body;
• the sole basis of a purchase, a construction contract, a quote or an order of materials;
• a legally binding representation of a property's surface area — including, in France, a diagnostic Loi Carrez or a surface habitable, both of which require a qualified professional.

If you are a professional using Arti in your work — an agent, a decorator, a builder — you are responsible for verifying anything you pass on, and for what you tell your own client about it.

8. Warranty

We warrant that Arti will perform substantially as described on artiplans.com and on its App Store page. Beyond that, and to the fullest extent the law allows, the app is provided as is, without warranty of any kind, express or implied, including any implied warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, or non-infringement.

If it fails to conform to that warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund you the purchase price. That is the maximum extent of Apple's warranty obligation. As between you and us, any remaining warranty liability is ours, not Apple's.

Your statutory rights survive all of this. If you are a consumer in the European Union, the United Kingdom or another jurisdiction with mandatory consumer protection, you have a legal guarantee of conformity for digital content that cannot be contracted away — in France, Articles L.224-25-12 and following of the Code de la consommation. Nothing above limits it. Where any part of this section conflicts with a right you hold by law, the law wins and the rest of this agreement stands.

9. Liability

Arti is inexpensive software that draws pictures of rooms. The risk allocation reflects that.

To the extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss: lost profit, lost business, lost time, lost data, the cost of building something wrong, or the cost of substitute software. Our total liability to you for any claim arising out of this agreement is limited to the greater of the amount you actually paid for Arti in the twelve months before the claim, or €50.

We do not limit, and cannot limit, our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, gross negligence (faute lourde), or anything else that the law does not permit to be excluded. In several countries that includes rather more than the list above; wherever that is so, the local rule applies and this section is read down to fit it, rather than struck out.

Your plans live on your Mac and we have no copy of them. Keep backups. Time Machine is enough. We are not liable for data you lose because you had none.

10. Third-party components

Arti includes open-source software and third-party assets. The complete list, with authors and licences, is in the app under Settings → Credits, and at <https://artiplans.com/credits>.

Where a third-party component carries its own licence, that licence governs that component and takes precedence over this agreement for it. In particular: the Inter typeface is used under the SIL Open Font License 1.1, and every 3D model and texture that ships with Arti is either CC0 (public domain) or was created for this project.

You agree to comply with any applicable third-party terms when you use Arti.

11. Apple

Arti is sold through the Mac App Store, which brings a set of terms Apple requires every developer to pass on. Here they are, in plain words.

1. This agreement is between you and us, not Apple. Apple is not a party. We alone are responsible for Arti, for its content, and for this licence.
2. Apple has no support obligation of any kind for Arti. Section 6 is where support comes from.
3. Warranty claims go through section 8. If the app fails to conform, Apple's sole obligation is to refund the purchase price, and any further warranty liability is ours.
4. Product claims are ours. Any claim relating to Arti — product liability, a failure to meet a legal or regulatory requirement, or a claim under consumer protection or privacy law — is our responsibility to handle, not Apple's.
5. Intellectual property claims are ours. If someone alleges that Arti infringes their intellectual property, we are solely responsible for investigating, defending, settling and discharging that claim.
6. Export compliance. By using Arti you confirm that you are not located in a country subject to a US Government embargo, or designated by the US Government as "terrorist supporting", and that you are not on any US Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
7. Our name and address for questions, complaints or claims are in section 1.
8. Apple is a third-party beneficiary of this agreement. Apple and its subsidiaries have the right to enforce it against you as a third-party beneficiary, and you accept that they may.

None of this makes Apple responsible for Arti, and none of it takes away the rights you have against Apple as the seller of the download.

12. Privacy

Covered separately and in detail at <https://artiplans.com/privacy>. The short version: Arti keeps your plans on your Mac, has no account, and sends nothing except an anonymous crash report when it breaks.

13. Term and termination

This licence starts when you install Arti and runs until it ends.

You end it by deleting the app. We may end it if you materially breach it and do not fix the breach within 30 days of us telling you about it — except for a breach of section 3, which ends it immediately, because those are the terms where a cure period means nothing.

On termination you stop using Arti and delete your copies. Sections 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 15 survive.

14. Changes to this agreement

We may update this agreement for a new version of the app. The updated terms apply to that version and to versions released after it — not retroactively to the copy you already have. If you don't accept new terms, keep the version you have, or stop using the app.

The date at the top always tells you which text you are reading. Superseded versions are available on request.

15. Law and disputes

Governing law: French law.

If you are a consumer, this does not deprive you of the protection of the mandatory rules of the country where you habitually live, and you can bring proceedings in your own country's courts. Before going to court you may use the French consumer mediation scheme, free of charge, or the European Online Dispute Resolution platform. Details on request at contact@artiplans.com.

If you are a business, the courts of France have exclusive jurisdiction, and the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply.

Severability: if a court finds one provision unenforceable, it is narrowed to what is enforceable, and the rest stands.

Entire agreement: this document plus the Privacy Policy is the whole of what is agreed between us about Arti, and it replaces anything said before.

Language: this agreement is written in English. Arti itself is available in English, French, German, Spanish, Italian and Portuguese; if we publish this agreement in any of those languages it is for convenience, and the English text governs — except where your local consumer law requires that your own language version prevail, in which case it does.
