Terms of Service.

1. Acceptance

By creating an account or otherwise using 3D Scan Garage (“the Service”), you agree to these Terms. If you don’t agree, don’t use the Service. We may update these Terms from time to time (see Section 16); continuing to use the Service after a change means you accept the update.

2. What the Service is

3D Scan Garage is a marketplace for measured 3D geometric data — mounting interfaces, clearance envelopes, hardpoints and surfaces — captured by independent scanners and, where marked, checked against the physical vehicle before publishing. It exists for engineering, R&D and the development of aftermarket or compatible parts: reference geometry to design, measure, integrate and modify against, in a defined datum and coordinate system.

3D Scan Garage is not a platform for manufacturing OEM replicas or counterfeit components. Section 5 (“Content policy”) sets out exactly what listings may and may not be used for. The Service also hosts a bounty board where buyers can signal demand for a scan nobody has captured yet.

3. Accounts

You must be at least 18 to create an account. You’re responsible for the accuracy of the information you provide, for keeping your credentials secure, and for everything that happens under your account. One account per person — accounts are not transferable. A single account can act as both a buyer and a seller.

4. Listings

As a seller, you confirm that you actually captured the data you upload (or hold the rights or permission necessary to publish it), that your description of it (precision, datum, coordinate system, equipment, formats) is accurate to the best of your knowledge, and that publishing it doesn’t infringe anyone’s rights or violate Section 5 (“Content policy”). This isn’t only a passive term you’re bound by — before a listing can be submitted for review, you have to actively confirm this in the submission form itself, and we keep a timestamp of when you did. We review listings before they go live and can reject, suspend, or remove one at any time, with or without notice, if it violates these Terms or a valid legal claim is made against it (see Section 10).

4.1 Ownership and limited license. You retain all ownership of, and all intellectual property rights in, the data you upload (“Seller Content”). By publishing a listing you grant us a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license, solely for as long as the listing is live or a purchaser still holds a license to it, to host the Seller Content, to display the listing’s title, description, photographs and any public preview you choose to upload, to let our review team examine the source file for the purpose of reviewing the listing, and to deliver the source file to buyers who have paid for it. We do not sell, sublicense, distribute, publish or otherwise use Seller Content for any other purpose, and the source file is never made publicly available. The license is non-exclusive: you remain free to sell or license the same data elsewhere, subject to any Exclusive Buyout license you have granted to a buyer under Section 7. You may retire a listing at any time; a retired listing is removed from public view, while licenses already granted to buyers continue and we keep the source file only as long as needed to honor them.

5. Content policy — permitted and prohibited use

Listings on 3D Scan Garage are licensed as reference geometry — data to design against, measure, check clearance and fit, integrate into CAD, and develop aftermarket or compatible parts from. That’s what a license under Section 7 grants, and it’s the only thing it grants.

Permitted use includes:

• Designing an aftermarket or compatible part against measured geometry.
• Checking fit, clearance, or interference before manufacturing anything.
• CFD, FEA, and other simulation work that needs real surface data.
• Restoring or recreating a part you own or have the rights to, using its own measured geometry as a reference.

Prohibited use — you may not use a listing to:

• Illegally copy, reproduce, or manufacture a part that’s protected by a patent, registered design right, trademark, or copyright you don’t hold or have permission to use.
• Manufacture or market a component and represent or imply it is a genuine OEM part, or otherwise mislead buyers about its origin.
• Manufacture counterfeit parts, or facilitate someone else doing so, using data obtained through the Service.

As a seller, uploading data means you confirm you captured it yourself with authorization to do so, or otherwise hold whatever rights or permissions are necessary to publish it — see Section 4. As a buyer, a license under Section 7 doesn’t grant you any right to infringe a third party’s intellectual property; complying with the law for whatever you build from this data is your own responsibility, same as with any other reference material.

If you believe a listing was published without the necessary rights, or is being used to illegally reproduce a protected part, report it — every listing has a “Report an issue with this listing” link, or see Section 10 for how takedown requests are handled.

6. The Verified badge

A Verified badge means our review team confirmed who captured the listing and how, and cross-checked specific physical dimensions against the file before it published — see How verification works for exactly what that does and doesn’t cover. It is not a warranty, and it doesn’t guarantee the data is fit for any particular purpose beyond what was actually checked.

7. Buying a listing — license, not ownership

Purchasing a listing grants you a license to use that specific file, under the license tier you paid for, within the permitted use described in Section 5 — it does not transfer ownership of the underlying data or any intellectual property in it, except under an Exclusive Buyout license explicitly sold as such.

• Single-Project — use on one named internal project. Not for redistribution, resale, or use across multiple products.
• Commercial — broader internal commercial use as described on the listing at purchase. Still not for reselling or redistributing the raw geometry file itself.
• Exclusive Buyout — the terms stated on that specific listing at the time of purchase govern; typically full transfer and exclusivity for that data.

Redistributing, reselling, or publicly re-hosting a purchased raw file outside the scope of your license is a breach of these Terms, independent of any separate copyright claim the original scanner may have.

8. The bounty board

Posting a bounty, or adding your own offer to one, is a public statement of interest and the price you’d personally pay — it is not a binding purchase agreement, and no money is held, charged, or transferred by doing either. A bounty being “fulfilled” (someone linking a listing against it) doesn’t obligate you to buy that listing; you’d still go through the normal purchase flow if you want it.

Where bounty payments are made available through the Service, the requester will pay, in addition to the reward advertised on the bounty, a service fee of 10% of that reward; the scanner who fulfils the bounty receives one hundred percent of the advertised reward, and the service fee is borne solely by the requester.

9. Payments, Commission, and Refunds

9.1 General. All purchases effected through the Service are processed and settled by our designated third-party payment processor (the “Payment Processor”), which acts as merchant of record for each such transaction pursuant to its own terms of service and applicable payment-network rules; accordingly, the payment card, bank-transfer, or other payment-instrument details submitted by a Buyer in connection with a purchase are transmitted to and retained by the Payment Processor and are not collected, stored, or otherwise processed by us except to the extent reasonably necessary to reconcile order records for the purposes described in this Agreement. All prices displayed on the Service are denominated in United States Dollars (USD) unless otherwise expressly indicated, and nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as a representation regarding any currency-conversion rate that may be applied by a Buyer’s own financial institution or card network in connection with a purchase.

9.2 Finality of Purchases. Because the grant of a License (as defined in Section 7) affords the Buyer immediate access to download the underlying digital file or files comprising a given listing, all purchases are deemed final and non-refundable upon issuance of the applicable download link, save and except in circumstances where the listing, as published, materially misrepresented the vehicle, zone, or other characteristic of the underlying data actually delivered, in which case the Buyer may contact us for review at our sole discretion and without any admission of liability on our part.

9.3 Seller Compensation and Platform Commission. In consideration of the listing-hosting, review, payment-processing coordination, and related services made available to Sellers through the Service, and without prejudice to any other fee that may from time to time be separately disclosed, we retain a commission equal to a percentage of the gross sale price of each completed transaction attributable to a Seller’s listing (the “Platform Commission”), determined by the source of the sale and the status of the listing as follows: (a) 10% for sales originating through the Service’s own marketplace (the “Standard Rate”); (b) 5% for such sales of a listing that was published and approved by us before November 5, 2026 (a “Founding Listing”), which status attaches permanently to the listing, and not to the Seller, at the time of approval and is not affected by any later change in the Standard Rate or by the passage of time; (c) 5% for sales attributable to a Buyer who accessed the listing through a referral link generated for that Seller by the Service, irrespective of Founding Listing status; and (d) 15% for sales attributable to promotional or outreach activity undertaken by us and expressly identified as such. The applicable rate is determined by us, on our systems, at the time of purchase, is recorded against the transaction, and is not thereafter recalculated; it being understood and agreed that the price displayed on a given listing at the time of purchase constitutes the full amount actually remitted by the Buyer, from which the Platform Commission is deducted prior to remittance of the balance (the “Net Proceeds”) to the Seller. A Seller’s affirmative acceptance of this Section 9.3, made separately and specifically from that Seller’s acceptance of this Agreement in its entirety, constitutes a condition precedent to the submission of that Seller’s first listing for review; such acceptance is recorded together with a corresponding timestamp and shall for all purposes be deemed conclusive evidence of that Seller’s agreement to the terms set out in this Section, without further act or instrument required of either party. See also this Section for the timing of disbursement described immediately below.

9.4 Timing and Method of Disbursement. Because our Payment Processor settles the proceeds of each transaction to our own designated account rather than directly to the Seller whose listing gave rise to that transaction, remittance of a Seller’s Net Proceeds is effected by way of a separate transfer initiated by us, which transfer we endeavor, though do not guarantee, to complete within a period of approximately seven to fourteen calendar days following the date of the underlying sale, it being understood that such interval is intended, among other purposes, to afford a reasonable window within which any dispute, chargeback, claim, or other matter arising out of or relating to the sale may be identified and, where appropriate, resolved prior to disbursement, and nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to entitle a Seller to disbursement on, by, or before any particular date. A Seller may consult the seller dashboard made available through the Service for a running account of amounts owed and a historical record of prior disbursements, which record shall be deemed determinative absent manifest error.

10. Intellectual property claims and takedowns

If you believe a listing infringes your rights (e.g. a trademark on vehicle badging, geometry captured without authorization, or a listing being used to illegally reproduce a protected part — see Section 5), report it. Every scan listing has a “Report an issue with this listing” link that goes straight to our review team; you don’t need an account to use it. We review every report — a listing isn’t removed automatically just because one was filed — but we can remove or suspend a listing while a claim is investigated, and sellers with repeated valid claims against them may be suspended or banned.

11. Prohibited conduct

Don’t: misrepresent a listing’s precision, equipment, or how it was captured; use the Service in any way that violates Section 5’s content policy; scrape or bulk-download the catalog outside normal use; attempt to bypass access controls on files you haven’t licensed; upload malicious files; use the bounty board to spam or manipulate demand signals; or use the Service for anything unlawful.

12. Service provided “as is”

3D Scan Garage is in early access. The Service, and any data on it, is provided as-is and as-available, without warranties of any kind beyond what’s explicitly stated for Verified listings above. We don’t guarantee the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or available at all times.

13. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent the law allows, 3D Scan Garage won’t be liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of the Service, and our total liability for any claim won’t exceed the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim arose. This includes damages arising from a third party’s use of a listing in violation of Section 5 — 3D Scan Garage reviews listings before they publish, but doesn’t manufacture, sell, or control what a licensee does with the geometry after downloading it.

14. Termination

You can stop using the Service and close your account at any time. We can suspend or terminate an account that violates these Terms, with notice where reasonably possible.

15. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of Spain, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.

16. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms as the Service changes. Material changes will be reflected by an updated “last updated” date on this page.
