Terms of
Service.
Straightforward guidelines and governance terms for practicing architects, designers, and studios using the ARCH.id.S platform.
Last revised: October 20261. The Agreement
By downloading, installing, and executing the ARCH.id.S software suite within your Autodesk Revit environment, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. These provisions are designed to protect both your architectural practice and our ongoing software development through clear, common-sense principles.
2. Software Tiers & License Validation
ARCH.id.S provides software across distinct operational tiers:
- Free Plugins Suite: Free to use for both personal study and commercial studio practice. Activation is completed by signing into your registered ARCH.id.S account via the "Account" window in the Revit ribbon. No recurring subscription fees or payment cards are required.
- Premium Overlays (Vellum, Mylar): Accessible via active subscription or perpetual license. These advanced computational overlays validate active workstation seats online upon launch. Attempting to spoof, bypass, or tamper with license verification will result in immediate seat revocation and account suspension.
3. Pre-Release & Beta Evaluation
We regularly publish early builds as Pre-Release or Beta tools to gather collaborative feedback from practicing architects. While in Pre-Release, evaluation access is provided free of charge without commercial commitment.
Because beta features are subject to rapid architectural refinement, they are provided on an "as-is" basis. We strongly advise testing them on practice files or isolated models rather than critical, time-sensitive contract deliverables. When a tool reaches production stability, beta evaluation concludes and standard catalog licensing resumes.
4. Intellectual Property & Code Integrity
All algorithms, UI components, geometric set-out engines, and compiled in-process C# assemblies comprising ARCH.id.S are the proprietary intellectual property of ARCH.id.S. You agree not to reverse-engineer, decompile, disassemble, or extract source code from the software, nor distribute derivative works or competing commercial tools based upon our proprietary technology.
5. Professional Responsibility & Verification (You Are the Architect)
ARCH.id.S plugins are computational modeling aids and productivity automations; they do not supplant or substitute for professional architectural or engineering judgment.
As the licensed professional of record, you retain sole responsibility for auditing, verifying, and certifying the geometric accuracy, building code compliance, fire separation ratings, and material quantities of all Revit models, schedules, and drawing sets prior to tender, permitting, or construction. ARCH.id.S assumes no liability for errors, schedule omissions, contractual disputes, or jobsite discrepancies resulting from plugin execution.
6. Purchases, Licensing & Account Governance
Because our free community tier and pre-release evaluation periods provide ample opportunity to verify plugin performance within your Revit setup, digital software licenses and perpetual keys are generally non-refundable once activated. We reserve the right to suspend or terminate service access for accounts that violate intellectual property boundaries or compromise platform infrastructure.
