Terms of Service

Version 1.0.1 - November 2021

This is a binding contract. Please read it carefully before using colormass.

colormass (sometimes “our” or “we”) provides 3D visualization and related software (the "Software"), support services and other 3D visualization-related services ("3D Services"), provided through or in connection with our website, accessible at colormass.com (the "Site"). Except to the extent you and colormass have executed a separate agreement, these terms and conditions exclusively govern your access to and use of the Software, 3D Services and Site (collectively, the "Services"), and constitute a binding legal agreement between you and colormass (the "Terms"):

  • If you are opening a colormass account or including this Agreement by reference in a purchase order, this contract is between colormass and your organization. You represent that you have the authority to bind your organization to this agreement.
  • If you are an individual colormass user, this Agreement is between you and colormass.

colormass has several policies (the "Policies") that form part of these Terms:

  • Acceptable Use Policy
  • Billing Policy
  • Privacy Policy
  • Support Policy

The "Agreement" refers to these Terms and the Policies together.

The general idea of this Agreement is that we grant you a license to use the Services, and in return you pay us and agree to abide by our terms and policies. Your failure to abide by your obligations under these policies constitutes grounds for suspension or termination of your account and revocation of your access to the Services.

This Agreement takes effect when you click an "I Accept" button or checkbox presented with these terms, sign a contract that incorporates these terms by reference, or, if earlier, when you use any of the Services (the "Effective Date").

18. Dispute Resolution and Arbitration

In the interest of resolving disputes between you and colormass in the most expedient and cost effective manner, you and colormass agree that every dispute arising in connection with this Agreement will be resolved by binding arbitration. Arbitration is more informal than a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, may allow for more limited discovery than in court, and can be subject to very limited review by courts. Arbitrators can award the same damages and relief that a court can award. Our agreement to arbitrate disputes includes all claims arising out of or relating to any aspect of this Agreement, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory, and regardless of whether a claim arises during or after the termination of this Agreement. YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT, BY ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT, YOU AND COLORMASS ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.

Notice, Process. A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send a written notice of the dispute to the other, by certified mail (signature required), or if we do not have a physical address on file for you, by electronic mail ("Notice"). colormass's address for Notice is:

colormass GmbH
Bismarckstraße 10-12
10625 Berlin
Germany

The Notice must: (a) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (b) set forth the specific relief sought ("Demand"). We agree to use good faith efforts to resolve the claim directly, but if we do not reach an agreement to do so within 30 days after the Notice is received, you or colormass may commence an arbitration proceeding. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by you or colormass must not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator makes a final decision and award, if any.

19. General Terms

Notices. All notices to colormass must be in writing and addressed to legal@colormass.com. You agree that colormass may provide you with notices, including those regarding changes to this Agreement, by email, regular mail, or postings on the colormass Services. By providing colormass your email address, you consent to our using the email address to send you any notices required by law in lieu of communication by postal mail.

Assignment. You may not assign any part of this Agreement without our written consent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may assign the entirety of its rights and obligations under this Agreement, without consent of the other party, to its affiliate or in connection with a merger, acquisition, corporate reorganization, or sale of all or substantially all of its assets not involving a direct competitor of the other party.

Force Majeure. colormass shall not be liable for failing or delaying performance of its obligations resulting from any condition beyond its reasonable control, including but not limited to, governmental action, acts of terrorism, earthquake, fire, flood or other acts of God, labor conditions, power failures, and Internet disturbances.

No Agency. This Agreement does not create any agency, partnership or joint venture between the parties.

No Waiver. You agree that any delay or failure of colormass to exercise or enforce any legal right or remedy which is contained in this Agreement (or which we have the benefit of under any applicable law), for any reason, does not constitute a formal waiver of our rights and that those rights or remedies will still be available to us.

Severability. If any term (or part of a term) of this Agreement is invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, the rest of the Agreement will remain in effect.

No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement does not confer any benefits on any third party unless expressly stated.

Entire Agreement. This Agreement supersedes all other agreements between the parties relating to its subject matter. In entering into this Agreement, neither party has relied on, and neither party will have any right remedy based on, any statement, representation or warranty (whether made negligently or innocently), except those expressly set out in this Agreement. The terms located at a URL referenced in this Agreement and the Documentation are hereby incorporated by this reference. After the Effective Date, colormass may provide you with an updated URL in place of any URL in this Agreement.
