Terms of Service

1. Acceptance of Terms

These Terms of Service ("Terms") constitute a legally binding agreement between you ("User," "you," or "your") and ArchiMind ("ArchiMind," "we," "us," or "our"), accessible at www.archimindcbc.com, governing your access to and use of the ArchiMind platform, including the web application, Revit add-in, APIs, and all related services (collectively, the "Service").

You must affirmatively accept these Terms by checking the acceptance box during account registration. Passive use of the Service does not constitute acceptance. If you do not agree to these Terms, you may not create an account or use the Service. If you are accepting on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization.

ArchiMind technology is protected by U.S. Patent Application No. 63/722,847 and other pending intellectual property rights.

2. Service Description

ArchiMind provides an AI-assisted building code analysis platform operating as: (a) a native add-in to Autodesk Revit that reads room geometry, door parameters, and spatial relationships directly from live building models and transmits extracted geometric data to ArchiMind servers for compliance analysis; and (b) a web application at www.archimindcbc.com that accepts uploaded architectural floor plan documents for AI-based analysis. Both embodiments apply a structured compliance rule engine against the California Building Code (CBC), Division of the State Architect (DSA) requirements, California Access Compliance (DSA-AC), and California Department of Education Title 5 regulations, generating compliance reports for use as design assistance tools.

The Revit add-in includes the following network-connected behaviors you should be aware of:

• Update checks: On each Revit startup, the add-in makes a background HTTP request to www.archimindcbc.com/installers/version.json to check whether a newer version is available. This check is non-blocking and never delays Revit startup. If a newer version exists, a non-intrusive dialog is shown.
• Dashboard sync: After a compliance analysis run, the add-in transmits the compliance report data to your ArchiMind dashboard at www.archimindcbc.com so results are accessible in your web Project History and Memory features.
• Local config file: The add-in reads and writes a configuration file at %APPDATA%\ArchiMind\config.json on your machine to store the dashboard URL and user preferences. This file remains on your machine and is not transmitted to ArchiMind.

3. No Professional or Architectural Services

ArchiMind is not a licensed architectural, engineering, or building code consulting service. No output, report, overlay, recommendation, or other result generated by the Service constitutes a professional architectural opinion, a code compliance determination, a DSA submittal review, or a design recommendation of any kind.

The architect of record, engineer of record, or other licensed design professional bears sole and exclusive professional responsibility for all design decisions, code compliance determinations, and regulatory submissions made in connection with any project. ArchiMind expressly disclaims any responsibility for: (a) DSA plan check submissions or responses; (b) local building department permit applications; (c) construction documents prepared in reliance on Service outputs; (d) any determination of compliance or non-compliance with any building code, regulation, or ordinance.

All Service outputs must be independently reviewed and verified by a qualified licensed professional before any design, permitting, construction, or regulatory use.

4. AI Disclaimer and Output Limitations

The Service uses artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies to analyze architectural drawings and apply building code rule sets. You acknowledge and agree that:

• AI-generated results may contain errors, omissions, misidentifications, or inaccuracies.
• Results do not constitute a guarantee of compliance or non-compliance with the CBC, DSA requirements, CDE Title 5, IBC, ADA Standards, or any other code, regulation, or ordinance.
• ArchiMind results have not been reviewed or approved by the California Division of the State Architect, any local building department, or any regulatory authority.
• Results may not reflect current code editions, local amendments, project-specific variances, or conditions not visible in the analyzed drawings.
• The Service does not perform structural analysis, MEP system analysis, life safety system design, or any other licensed engineering service.
• The Project Memory AI feature allows natural language queries across your project history. Memory query responses are AI-generated and carry the same limitations as all other Service outputs.

Code references are based on CBC 2025 and CBC 2022 editions. Users are responsible for verifying applicability of the correct code edition to their specific project.

5. Account Registration and Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years of age to create an account. By registering, you represent that you are 18 or older and have the legal capacity to enter into binding agreements. The Service is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect information from children under 13.

You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information during registration and to keep your account credentials confidential. You are responsible for all activity that occurs under your account. Notify us immediately at info@archimindcbc.com if you suspect unauthorized access.

6. License and Permitted Use

Subject to your compliance with these Terms and payment of applicable fees, ArchiMind grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable license to access and use the Service for your internal business purposes during the subscription term.

The Revit add-in is licensed software and may only be installed on machines owned or controlled by the licensed user. Each license key may only be activated on the number of machines corresponding to your subscription plan (one machine for Solo; up to five machines for Firm). You may not share, transfer, resell, or sublicense your license key.

You agree not to:

• Decompile, reverse engineer, disassemble, or attempt to derive source code from the Service or add-in.
• Upload drawings or files you do not own or have no right to process.
• Upload files containing malware, unauthorized personally identifiable information, or content that violates third-party rights.
• Use the Service for any unlawful purpose or in violation of any applicable law or regulation.
• Attempt to circumvent, disable, or interfere with security features, license enforcement, access controls, or update checks.
• Modify or replace the add-in's config.json to redirect dashboard sync traffic to unauthorized endpoints.
• Resell, redistribute, or make the Service available to third parties outside your licensed seats.
• Use automated scripts or bots to access the Service in a manner that exceeds normal usage.

7. User Content and Intellectual Property

Your content. You retain full ownership of all architectural drawings, floor plan documents, Revit model data, and other content you upload or submit to the Service ("User Content"). Nothing in these Terms transfers ownership of your User Content to ArchiMind.

License to process. By uploading User Content or running the Revit add-in, you grant ArchiMind a limited, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to access, process, analyze, transmit, and store your User Content solely to provide the Service to you, including dashboard sync, Project History, and Project Memory features. This license terminates when your User Content is deleted from our systems pursuant to our retention policy.

No training use. ArchiMind will not use your User Content to train, fine-tune, or improve AI or machine learning models without your explicit written consent.

Generated outputs. Compliance reports, overlays, JSON outputs, and Project Memory query responses generated by the Service are provided to you under the same limited license as the Service. Outputs are provided "as-is." ArchiMind does not transfer intellectual property rights in the underlying rule engine, codebook, or AI models through delivery of Outputs.

Upload representation. By uploading any file or running the Revit add-in on a model, you represent and warrant that you own the content or have obtained all necessary rights, licenses, and consents to upload and process the content through the Service, and that doing so does not violate any confidentiality obligation, third-party intellectual property right, or applicable law.

8. Confidentiality

ArchiMind acknowledges that architectural drawings and project data submitted to the Service may be confidential and commercially sensitive. ArchiMind will not disclose your User Content to third parties except as necessary to provide the Service (including transmission to AI processing services under data processing agreements), as required by law, or as described in our Privacy Policy.

For enterprise customers with heightened confidentiality requirements, a separate Confidentiality Addendum or Data Processing Agreement is available upon request at info@archimindcbc.com.

9. Fees, Billing, and Cancellation
