Terms of Service

01

The Service

YardRender is a web application that lets you upload a photo of a property, place a 3D model of an outdoor structure — a pergola, outdoor kitchen, canopy, shade sail, or your own GLB asset — onto that photo, and produce a photorealistic render. We use AI to estimate the photo's perspective, depth, and lighting so the model sits naturally in context.

The intended use is sales visualization for outdoor living businesses: showing a homeowner what a structure could look like in their yard before they buy it. Renders are visual approximations and are not engineering drawings, surveys, or measured plans. See Section 07 for important limits on how renders may be used.

02

Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old and able to enter into a binding contract to use the Service. If you are using the Service on behalf of a company or other legal entity, you represent that you have authority to bind that entity, and “you” refers to that entity.

You may not use the Service if you are barred from doing so under applicable law, including export-control or sanctions laws.

03

Your Account

You need an account to use the Service. You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information and to keep it up to date. You are responsible for safeguarding your login credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account, whether or not authorized by you. Notify us immediately if you suspect unauthorized access.

You may not use a username or display name that impersonates another person, infringes a third-party trademark, or is offensive or unlawful. You may not share your account credentials with anyone outside your organization.

04

Credits and Subscriptions

Free credits

Free accounts receive a monthly allowance of free credits that resets at the start of each calendar month so you can use the Service. Actions such as calibration and 3D model generation each consume a fixed number of credits. Free credits do not roll over, and the free allowance is provided as-is and may be modified, suspended, or discontinued at any time.

Paid plans

Paid subscription plans grant a monthly allowance of credits as listed on the pricing page in effect at the time you subscribe. Plans are billed in advance on a recurring monthly basis and automatically renew at the end of each billing period at the then-current price unless you cancel before renewal. Monthly subscription credits do not roll over and expire at the end of each billing period.

Plan changes

You may upgrade at any time; upgrades take effect immediately and may be billed on a prorated basis. Downgrades and cancellations take effect at the end of your current billing period, and you retain access to paid features until that effective date.

Refunds

Subscription fees are non-refundable. We do not provide refunds or credits for partial billing periods, unused portions of a subscription, or renders not consumed.

Price changes

We may change the price of the Service. We will give you at least thirty (30) days' notice before a price increase takes effect on your subscription. Your continued use of the Service after the new price takes effect constitutes acceptance of the new price; if you do not agree, cancel before the effective date.

Promotional pricing

From time to time we may offer promotional pricing or discounts. Promotional terms are governed by the offer in effect when you subscribe. Unless an offer expressly says otherwise, promotional pricing applies for as long as your subscription remains continuously active — canceling and re-subscribing forfeits the promotional rate.

Failed payments

If a payment fails, we may retry the charge, suspend your access to paid features, or downgrade your account to the free tier until payment is received.

05

Payments and Stripe

Payments are processed by Stripe, Inc. By providing payment information you authorize us and Stripe to charge the amounts owed to your designated payment method. Stripe's terms (including the Stripe Services Agreement and Stripe Privacy Policy) govern the processing of your payment information. We do not store full payment-card numbers.

You are responsible for any taxes that apply to your purchase based on your jurisdiction. Where required by law we will collect and remit applicable sales tax, VAT, or similar taxes; otherwise you are solely responsible for self-reporting and remitting any tax owed.

06

Your Content

“Your Content” means any data, photo, image, 3D model, file, text, or other material you upload to, or generate through, the Service.

You retain ownership

You retain all rights you have in Your Content. We do not claim ownership of your photos, your 3D models, or the renders the Service produces from them.

License to operate the Service

You grant YardRender a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, store, copy, transmit, display, modify (including resizing, format conversion, and AI-assisted processing), and create derivative works from Your Content solely for the purpose of operating, providing, securing, and improving the Service. This license ends when you delete the relevant content from your account, except for backup copies retained for a reasonable period and copies retained as required by law.

Your warranties

You represent and warrant that:

• you own Your Content or have all rights, licenses, consents, and permissions necessary to upload it and to grant the license above;
• Your Content does not infringe or violate any third party's intellectual property, privacy, publicity, contract, or other rights; and
• Your Content does not violate any applicable law.

Photos of people and property

If a photo you upload depicts identifiable people or private property, you confirm you have any consents required under applicable privacy and publicity laws to use that photo in the Service.

Storage

We make reasonable efforts to back up Your Content but do not guarantee against data loss. You are solely responsible for keeping independent copies of any Content you do not want to lose.

07

AI-Generated Output

The Service uses third-party AI models to estimate camera calibration, depth, and lighting and to assist in producing renders. Renders are computed approximations and may contain visual errors, incorrect proportions, lighting artifacts, or other inaccuracies.

Renders, depth maps, and measurements produced by the Service are not engineering drawings, surveys, permit drawings, structural analyses, or measured plans, and must not be used as a substitute for licensed engineering, surveying, architecture, or construction services.

You agree that:

• renders are intended for visualization and sales communication only;
• you will not use renders, or YardRender's measurement tools, to make safety-critical, regulatory, or legally binding determinations;
• any use of renders in customer-facing materials is at your discretion and risk — we recommend disclosing to your customers that visualizations are AI-assisted approximations.

Photo-to-3D generation

The Service can generate a 3D model from a photo you upload. By submitting a photo for generation, you confirm that (a) you own the photo or hold all rights, licenses, and consents needed to use it for this purpose, and (b) the photo does not depict identifiable people, violence, or third-party intellectual property (such as branded products, copyrighted artwork, or logos) that you are not authorized to use.

Photo-to-3D generation is performed through third-party AI providers (currently fal.ai). Their content policies apply to your input in addition to these Terms; inputs that violate those policies may be rejected, and repeated violations may result in suspension of your account under Section 15.

08

Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

• upload Content that is unlawful, infringing, defamatory, obscene, sexually explicit involving minors, or that incites violence or hatred against any group;
• use the Service to harass, threaten, defraud, or impersonate any person;
• upload viruses, malware, or other code intended to disrupt or compromise the Service or any user's data;
• attempt to access another user's account or any non-public area of the Service;
• reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract the source code or AI models behind the Service, except to the extent applicable law expressly permits;
• scrape, crawl, or otherwise access the Service through automated means in a way that interferes with its operation or violates these Terms;
• resell, sublicense, or commercially redistribute access to the Service to third parties without our prior written consent — using the Service to produce renders for your own customers as part of your outdoor living business is permitted and is the intended use;
• use the Service to develop a product that competes with YardRender; or
• use the Service in violation of any applicable export-control, sanctions, anti-money-laundering, or consumer-protection law.

We may, but are not obligated to, review Content and may remove Content or suspend an account that we believe violates these Terms.

09

Intellectual Property

The Service — including its software, AI pipelines, models, designs, text, graphics, the “YardRender” name and logo, and all other content provided by us (collectively, “YardRender IP”) — is owned by YardRender or its licensors and is protected by copyright, trademark, and other laws.

We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the Service for its intended purpose, subject to these Terms. No other rights are granted by implication or otherwise.

You may not use the YardRender name, logo, or trademarks without our prior written consent, except to truthfully identify YardRender as a tool you use.

10

Feedback

If you send us feedback, suggestions, or ideas about the Service, you grant us a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free, sublicensable license to use them for any purpose without obligation or compensation to you.

11

Third-Party Services

The Service relies on third-party services, including but not limited to Supabase (auth and storage), Stripe (payments), and AI inference providers such as Replicate and Hugging Face. Your use of those features is subject to the relevant third-party terms in addition to these Terms. We are not responsible for the acts, omissions, or content of third-party services, and a third party's failure does not relieve you of your obligations under these Terms.

The Service may also link to third-party websites we do not control. We are not responsible for those websites and recommend you read their terms and privacy policies before using them.

12

Privacy

Our Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and disclose information about you. By using the Service you agree to the Privacy Policy.

13

Confidentiality

In the course of using the Service you may receive non-public information about YardRender's business, software, pricing, or roadmap. You agree to keep that information confidential and to use it only to evaluate or use the Service.

This obligation does not apply to information that is publicly available, that you already lawfully possessed, that you received from a third party without obligation of confidentiality, or that you are required to disclose by law (after reasonable notice to us where lawful).

Any operational data generated by your use of the Service — including renders, projects, and your uploaded photos and models — is and remains your property. We will use that data only to provide and improve the Service, as described in our Privacy Policy.

14

DMCA / Copyright Complaints

If you believe content on the Service infringes a copyright you own or are authorized to enforce, send a notice to support@yardrender.com including:

1. a physical or electronic signature of the rights holder or authorized agent;
2. identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed;
3. identification of the material that you claim is infringing and where it is located on the Service;
4. your contact information (address, telephone, email);
5. a statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; and
6. a statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are the rights holder or authorized to act on the rights holder's behalf.

We may remove allegedly infringing material and terminate the accounts of repeat infringers in our sole discretion. False claims may result in liability under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f).

15

Suspension and Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service, with or without notice, if we believe you have breached these Terms, your use poses a security or legal risk to YardRender or another party, or your account is involved in fraudulent or abusive activity. We will use reasonable efforts to notify you when feasible.

You may cancel your subscription or close your account at any time from your account settings or by emailing us. Cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing period.

Sections 06 (Your Content), 09 (Intellectual Property), 10 (Feedback), 16 (Disclaimers), 17 (Limitation of Liability), 18 (Indemnification), 19 (Governing Law), and any other section that by its nature should survive termination will survive.

16

Disclaimers

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITH ALL FAULTS, AND WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, YARDRENDER DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS, IMPLIED, AND STATUTORY, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ANY WARRANTIES ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE.

WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, YARDRENDER DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, SECURE, OR FREE OF VIRUSES OR OTHER HARMFUL COMPONENTS, OR THAT ANY DEFECTS WILL BE CORRECTED. WE MAKE NO WARRANTY REGARDING THE ACCURACY OR RELIABILITY OF AI-GENERATED OUTPUT, INCLUDING CALIBRATION, DEPTH ESTIMATES, MEASUREMENTS, OR RENDERS.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties, so some of the above exclusions may not apply to you.

17

Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, YARDRENDER AND ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST PROFITS, LOST REVENUE, LOST DATA, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, OR LOSS OF GOODWILL, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICE OR THESE TERMS, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

OUR TOTAL CUMULATIVE LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICE OR THESE TERMS WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNTS YOU PAID TO US FOR THE SERVICE IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM, OR (B) ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS ($100).

These limitations apply regardless of the legal theory and even if a remedy fails of its essential purpose. Some jurisdictions do not allow these limitations, so they may not apply to you in full.

18

Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless YardRender and its officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any claims, damages, liabilities, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or related to (a) Your Content; (b) your use of the Service; (c) your violation of these Terms or applicable law; or (d) your violation of any third party's rights.

19

Governing Law and Disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, USA, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. The exclusive venue for any dispute that is not subject to arbitration will be the state and federal courts located in Delaware, and you consent to personal jurisdiction there.

Before filing a claim, you agree to first contact us at support@yardrender.com and try to resolve the dispute informally. If we cannot resolve it within sixty (60) days, either party may pursue formal proceedings.

This section does not affect any non-waivable rights you may have under the laws of your country of residence.

20

Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. If we make a material change we will provide reasonable advance notice — typically at least thirty (30) days — by email or by posting a notice on the Service before the change takes effect. Your continued use of the Service after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms. If you do not agree, stop using the Service before the change takes effect.

Non-material changes (such as clarifications or corrections of typos) may take effect immediately.

21

General

Entire agreement

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any pricing or order page applicable to your subscription, are the entire agreement between you and YardRender regarding the Service and supersede any prior agreements.

Severability

If any provision of these Terms is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in effect, and the unenforceable provision will be interpreted to give effect to its intent to the maximum extent permitted.

No waiver

Our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of our right to enforce it later.

Assignment

You may not assign these Terms without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or substantially all of our assets.

No agency

Nothing in these Terms creates a partnership, joint venture, employment, or agency relationship between you and YardRender.

Force majeure

Neither party is liable for failure to perform due to causes beyond its reasonable control, including acts of God, war, terrorism, civil unrest, labor disputes, internet or utility outages, or government action.

English controls

These Terms are written in English. Any translation is provided for convenience only; the English version controls in case of conflict.
