Terms of Service

These terms cover the website at artiplans.com — the pages you are reading, the browser version of Arti and the articles.

The app is covered separately. If you are looking for what you may and may not do with Arti itself, that is the End User License Agreement. Arti is free — there is nothing to buy.

By using this site you accept these terms. If you don't, stop using it; there is nothing else you need to do.

1. Who runs this site

Invent Better — Mickael Romaniello EI, France

Full publisher and hosting details are in the Legal Notice.

2. What this site is

A place to find out what Arti is, run it in your browser, read articles about planning a home, and get support. It is marketing and documentation. It is not a service you subscribe to, and there is nothing here to log into.

We may change, move or remove any part of it at any time — including articles, prices shown and the browser version — without notice. We try not to break links to articles people have cited, and we redirect rather than delete when we can.

3. The browser version

It is the whole app, not a demo. The browser version is the same program as the Mac app, compiled to run in a page: the same drawing tools, all 244 furniture pieces, materials, multiple floors, the 3D walkthrough, export, and the same six languages. Nothing is held back and nothing is cut down.

What you draw stays on your machine. Nothing you draw is sent to us and nothing is uploaded. We never receive, see or hold a plan made in the browser.

But it is saved in your browser, and that has consequences. Unlike the Mac app, which writes to a file you own, the browser version keeps your plans in your browser's own storage. So:

• Clearing your browsing data, site data or cache deletes your plans, and we cannot recover them — we never had a copy.
• Your plans are on that one browser on that one machine. They do not follow you to another computer, another browser, or a private window.
• Export the plan as an image if you want something that outlives the browser.

It is provided as is, with no warranty that it works in every browser or on every machine. It needs a recent browser, working WebGL for the 3D view, and a screen about 900 px across — the same size the Mac app asks for as a window. If you want a plan you keep as a file, use the Mac app.

4. What you may do with what is here

Our content — the text of the articles, the page designs, the photographs and diagrams, the Arti name and logo, the app's screenshots and its icon — is ours, protected by copyright and, where registered, trade mark law.

You may:

• read, print and share links to anything here, freely;
• quote a reasonable extract of an article — a paragraph or two — with a visible credit and a working link back to the page it came from. That is what the droit de citation and fair dealing permit, and we welcome it;
• use our screenshots and press assets to write about Arti, in a review, an article or a listing, without asking us first.

You may not:

• republish an article in full, whether translated, rewritten or paraphrased, on another site;
• feed the content of this site into a system that reproduces it as its own;
• use the Arti name, logo or icon in a way that suggests we made, endorse or are affiliated with something we did not;
• scrape the site at a rate that degrades it for anyone else, or bypass any technical limit we put in place.

On AI and language models. We are content for a generative engine to read these articles, summarise them and cite them — the citation is the point. We are not content for one to reproduce a whole article as its own output without attribution. Where we express machine-readable preferences (robots.txt, page metadata), please respect them.

5. Links to other sites

We link to other people's pages — asset sources, Apple, the CNIL, tools we recommend. Those sites are not ours, we do not control them, and we are not responsible for what they contain or what they do with your data. A link is not an endorsement of everything on the other end of it.

6. What we promise about the site

That we will make a reasonable effort to keep it up, accurate and current.

Not that it will be available without interruption, that it will be free of errors, or that anything you read here is right for your particular situation. Articles about planning, renovation, surface area and building work are general information, not professional advice. They are not a substitute for an architect, a surveyor, a structural engineer or a lawyer, and rules differ by country and often by municipality. Check anything that matters before you act on it.

If you spot a mistake in an article, tell us at contact@artiplans.com — we correct them and note the correction.

7. Liability

To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for loss arising from your use of this site or the browser version, including lost time, lost data or a decision you took on the strength of something you read here.

We do not exclude liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud, or for anything else that cannot lawfully be excluded. If you are a consumer, your statutory rights are unaffected by anything in this section.

8. Privacy

What this site collects, and what it does not, is set out in the Privacy Policy. The short version: no advertising cookies, no cross-site tracking, no consent banner because there is nothing to consent to.

9. Changes

We may revise these terms. The date at the top tells you which version you are reading, and a material change will be described in the page itself rather than slipped in silently.

10. Law and disputes

French law governs these terms.

If you are a consumer, you keep the protection of the mandatory rules of the country where you live and may bring proceedings in your own courts. You may also use the French consumer mediation scheme, free of charge, or the European Online Dispute Resolution platform — contact contact@artiplans.com for the details.

If you are a business, the courts of France have exclusive jurisdiction.

If a court finds any provision unenforceable, it is narrowed to what is enforceable and the rest stands.
