AugmentrART

Terms of Service

1. About AugmentrART

AugmentrART provides tools for creating, editing, storing, versioning, and publishing digital creative projects (the “Service”). These terms apply when you access or use the Service. AugmentrART is operated by Christopher Fornesa, a sole proprietor doing business as AugmentrART.

2. Free and paid access

The core editor, exports, gallery, forking, and export of your own data are free. The free tier is usage-capped, not time-limited, and includes 100 free credits each day. The allowance resets daily.

One credit pack is available: $10 — 100 credits. The pack costs $10.00 USD and contains 100 credits. Credits pay for AugmentrART platform value. At launch, credits are spent on AI runs as described here; storage, versions, and publishing are not currently metered.

Accepted AI runs use credits as follows:

Rejected proposals use no credits. Credits do not pay for AI model inference when you use your own provider key (BYOK). BYOK is available on both free and paid tiers; you provide your key to the selected AI provider and pay that provider directly under its terms. Paid credits do not expire. Refunds for unused credits may be requested within 14 days under the Refund Policy.

3. AI providers and your keys

When you use BYOK, you provide your key to the selected AI provider and pay that provider directly under its terms. AugmentrART platform credits do not pay that provider's inference charges. Review the provider's terms and privacy practices before using its service.

4. Purchases and seller

Checkout for paid products is provided by Paddle, acting as Merchant of Record and legal seller for those transactions. Paddle handles applicable global indirect taxes, including VAT, for its transactions. The checkout page identifies the seller, price, currency, and other purchase terms before you complete a transaction.

5. Pricing principle and refunds

AugmentrART's credit pricing is designed to maintain at least a 2x floor over predictable platform costs. This is a pricing principle, not a promise about provider inference costs. Refund eligibility for unused credits is described in the Refund Policy.

6. Your content and account

You retain access to your own creative content and can export your content. Access to your own data is not monetized. The Service keeps version history append-only during ordinary operation. Billing ledger history is append-only and preserved even on account erasure.

7. Changes and contact

Terms for any paid product are presented before purchase. For questions, contact contact@augmentrart.com.

8. Additional terms

Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas, USA, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service that is not resolved informally under the Disputes section will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Harris County, Texas, and you consent to personal jurisdiction in those courts.

Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old to use the Service. If you are under 18, you may use the Service only with the involvement and consent of a parent or legal guardian. You must be at least 18 years old, or the age of majority where you live, to purchase credit packs. By using the Service, you represent that you meet these requirements and that any account information you provide is accurate.

Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Service is provided 'as is' without warranties of any kind, and AugmentrART and its operator will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of the Service. The total liability of AugmentrART and its operator for any claims arising out of or relating to the Service or these Terms will not exceed the greater of (a) the amounts you paid to AugmentrART in the 12 months before the claim arose or (b) USD $100. Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited under applicable law.

Termination

You may stop using the Service and delete your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access if you violate these Terms, misuse the Service, or where required by law, with notice where reasonably practicable. On termination, your right to use the Service ends. Unused purchased credits are refunded only as described in the Refunds section. Free credits have no cash value and are forfeited on termination. Content you have already exported remains yours.

Disputes

Before filing any claim, you agree to contact us first and try to resolve the dispute informally, allowing at least 30 days for a good-faith resolution. If informal resolution fails, the dispute will be resolved exclusively in the courts identified in the Governing Law section. You and AugmentrART each waive any right to participate in a class action in connection with the Service, to the extent permitted by law.
