Quick summary (does not replace the full text)

These Terms of use (the “Terms”) are an agreement between you and [Full legal name of the imCAD company], enterprise code [...], address [...] (“imCAD”, “we”, “us”) governing your use of the imCAD software, the imcadagent.com website and related services (together, the “Service”). By installing, signing in to or using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you use the Service on behalf of a company or organization, you confirm that you have authority to bind that organization, and “you” includes that organization.
1. About the Service
imCAD (Intelligent Modeling CAD) is an application for Windows computers that connects artificial intelligence (“AI”) with the SOLIDWORKS software installed on your computer. At your request, imCAD can plan and build parts, assemblies and drawings, assign materials, calculate mass, run analyses and export files directly in SOLIDWORKS, including in a SOLIDWORKS session running in the background (“Background tasks”). The Service also includes a library of skills and domain knowledge written by imCAD and provided from imCAD’s servers.
2. Eligibility
You must be at least 18 years old and have full civil legal capacity under Vietnamese law, or use the Service as an employee of an organization that has agreed to these Terms. You are responsible for holding a valid SOLIDWORKS license and a valid account with the AI provider you choose.
3. Accounts
- imCAD accounts are issued by imCAD or registered by you. You agree to provide accurate information and to keep it up to date.
- Each account may be activated on one computer at a time. You may move to another computer as instructed by imCAD; moving too frequently may be restricted.
- You must keep your password confidential and are responsible for all activity under your account. Do not share, rent or resell your account. Notify us immediately at [email protected] if you suspect unauthorized use of your account.
- To protect you, imCAD may temporarily block sign-in after several incorrect password attempts or when it detects unusual use of an account on multiple computers.

4.2. Payment method
You pay by bank transfer using the details provided by imCAD. Your plan is activated after imCAD confirms receipt of payment. Businesses may request an electronic invoice.
4.3. Renewal

4.5. Third-party costs
imCAD fees do not include the cost of your SOLIDWORKS license or of your AI account (Claude, ChatGPT, etc.). You pay those costs directly to the respective providers. When imCAD launches “imCAD API” (buying credits to use AI through imCAD), the terms of that service will be published separately.
4.6. Fair use

Provided that you comply with these Terms and your plan is active, imCAD grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable right to use the imCAD software for the design work of you or your organization, including for commercial purposes.
5.2. Permission for imCAD to act on your computer
You understand and agree that, at your request, imCAD will control SOLIDWORKS on your computer: create, open, edit, save and export files, and open a background SOLIDWORKS session when you use Background tasks. imCAD presents a plan for your approval first, and you can choose the level of automation. You are responsible for reviewing the plan before approving it and for backing up important data before letting imCAD edit files.

You must not, and must not allow others to:
- copy, modify, decompile, disassemble or attempt to obtain the source code of imCAD, except where expressly permitted by law;

If you send feedback or improvement ideas to imCAD (including through the “Report a problem / feedback” function in the app), imCAD may use that feedback freely without any obligation to pay you.
6. Ownership
6.1. What belongs to imCAD
imCAD, the website, the skill library, knowledge, user interface and the “imCAD” brand are owned by imCAD and protected by intellectual property law. These Terms do not transfer any ownership rights to you.
6.2. What belongs to you
The part, assembly and drawing files and documents created when you use imCAD (“Output”) belong to you, to the extent permitted by law. Because AI may produce similar results for different users, imCAD does not guarantee that Output is unique.
6.3. Your commitments
You confirm that you have sufficient rights to all drawings, images, files and information you provide to imCAD, and that doing so does not infringe the rights of any other party (for example, your customers’ drawings or your partners’ trade secrets).
7. Data
Your design files stay on your computer and are not uploaded to imCAD’s servers during modeling. The requests you send to the AI, together with the necessary information about the model, are sent from your computer to the AI provider you choose, under that provider’s terms and policies. How imCAD collects and processes personal data is described in the Privacy policy, which forms part of these Terms.
imCAD may collect technical usage data (app version, errors that occur, number of uses) to operate, protect and improve the Service, and may use such data in aggregated form that does not identify individuals.
8. Third-party software
imCAD works together with third-party software and services, including SOLIDWORKS (Dassault Systèmes) and AI services (such as Anthropic Claude and OpenAI ChatGPT). Your use of those products is governed by each provider’s own terms. imCAD is not responsible for changes, interruptions or policies of third parties. imCAD may contain open-source components, which are used under their respective licenses.
9. Notices and communications
imCAD may send you notices about your account, renewals, updates and important changes by email or within the app. Marketing emails are sent only with your consent, and you can unsubscribe at any time.
10. Changes to these Terms
imCAD may update these Terms. For material changes, we will notify you by email or in the app at least [15] days before they take effect. If you continue to use the Service after the effective date, you are deemed to accept the new version; if you do not agree, you may stop using the Service.
11. Term and termination
11.1. Term
These Terms take effect when you first install or use the Service and remain in effect until terminated.
11.2. Termination
You may stop using the Service at any time by uninstalling it, and you may notify imCAD if you want your account deleted. imCAD may suspend or terminate your account if you breach these Terms, after notifying you and giving you a reasonable period to remedy the breach (except for serious breaches or at the request of a competent authority).
11.3. Effect of termination
Upon termination, your right to use imCAD ends; the Output files on your computer remain yours. Sections 5.3, 6, 12, 13, 14, 15 and 16 survive termination.
11.4. Changes to the Service and updates
imCAD automatically checks for and installs updates digitally signed by imCAD to fix bugs, improve security and add features. imCAD may change, add or remove features; if we discontinue the Service entirely, we will give advance notice and refund the portion of fees corresponding to the unused period.
12. Indemnification
To the extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify imCAD for damages and reasonable costs arising from third-party claims caused by your breach of these Terms, your violation of law or your infringement of others’ rights when using the Service.
13. Disclaimer of warranties
The Service is provided “as is”. AI may misunderstand requests and produce inaccurate models, dimensions, drawings, masses or analysis results. All Output is for assistance only; you or a qualified engineer must check it before using it for manufacturing, quotations, acceptance or safety decisions. Strength analysis results in imCAD are quick estimates and do not replace design calculations according to standards.
To the extent permitted by law, imCAD does not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted or error-free, or that it is compatible with every version of SOLIDWORKS, Windows or AI services.
14. Limitation of liability
To the extent permitted by law, imCAD is not liable for indirect damages, loss of profits, loss of data or business interruption arising from the use of the Service. imCAD’s total liability for all claims relating to the Service shall not exceed the fees you paid to imCAD in the 12 months before the event giving rise to the claim. This limitation does not apply where the law does not permit limitation of liability, including consumer rights under the Law on Protection of Consumers’ Rights.
15. Dispute resolution
If you have a concern, please contact [email protected] first, as most issues can be resolved quickly through discussion. Disputes that cannot be resolved by negotiation within 30 days after one party sends written notice shall be submitted to [the competent People’s Court in Vietnam / the Vietnam International Arbitration Centre (VIAC)] for resolution. Customers who are consumers retain all rights to complain and to bring legal action under consumer protection regulations.
