License
Effective Date: February 1, 2026
This Terms of Use Agreement (“Agreement”) is entered into between AWV Informatik Ag (“AWV”), and the Customer or End User (defined below), as applicable. This Agreement governs the use of AWV Informatik Ag’s products and services (the “Service” or “Services”). You are the “Customer” under this Agreement if you are (a) an individual ordering Services; or (b) an organization ordering Services to be used by one or more of your personnel. If you are an organization ordering Services, the individual who agrees to this Agreement on your behalf must have the authority to bind the organization and its End Users to this Agreement.
You are the “End User” under this Agreement if you are using the Service in your capacity as an end user, including as an individual Customer or as an individual authorized to use the Service by an organization who is a Customer.
If we do not specify whether certain language applies to an End User or Customer, then our use of “you” applies to both End Users and Customers.
BY CREATING AN ACCOUNT, SIGNING IN VIA A WEB BROWSER OR MOBILE APP OR APPLICATION PROGRAMMING INTERFACE, AND/OR USING ANY SOFTWARE AND/OR APPLICATIONS (COLLECTIVELY, “SOFTWARE”) PROVIDED TO YOU OR YOUR ORGANIZATION BY OR ON BEHALF OF AWV IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT (1) YOU HAVE READ THIS AGREEMENT; (2) YOU UNDERSTAND IT; (3) YOU ARE BOUND BY ITS TERMS; (4) YOU HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT PERSONALLY OR ON BEHALF OF THE ORGANIZATION NAMED AS THE CUSTOMER, AND TO BIND SUCH CUSTOMER TO THIS AGREEMENT; IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THE FOREGOING, YOU MAY NOT ACCESS OR USE THE SOFTWARE. DO NOT USE THE SOFTWARE UNTIL YOU HAVE CAREFULLY READ THIS AGREEMENT.
THIS AGREEMENT INCLUDES A CLASS ACTION WAIVER AND REQUIRES BINDING ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS TO RESOLVE DISPUTES, RATHER THAN JURY TRIALS. PLEASE NOTE THAT THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE BY AWV IN ITS SOLE DISCRETION AT ANY TIME. When changes are made, AWV will make a new copy of the Agreement available on its website and/or within its application(s). In the event any new supplemental terms are created. We will also update the “Last Updated” date at the top of this Agreement. Any such changes will be effective immediately for both new and existing Customers and End Users of the SOFTWARE.

License Grant; Permitted Use; Distribution: Subject to Customer’s ongoing compliance with this Agreement and (where applicable) timely payment of the applicable fees, AWV Informatik AG (“AWV”) grants Customer a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable right to access and use the Software with a valid license key (“ClassCAD Key”) solely in accordance with the applicable usage category below: (a) Non-Commercial Use (Free): Customer may use the Software for educational, research, evaluation, or personal purposes that are not primarily intended for, or directed toward, commercial advantage or monetary compensation. A ClassCAD Key issued for Non-Commercial Use is personal and must not be shared. (b) Commercial Use Without Distribution (End-User License): If Customer uses the Software solely for Customer’s internal business purposes and does not provide, expose, or make the Software (or functionality powered by the Software) available to third parties, Customer must obtain an end-user commercial subscription and may use only Customer’s personal ClassCAD Key (which must not be shared). (c) Commercial Use With Distribution (Distribution License): If Customer provides or exposes the Software or its functionality to third parties (including via hosted services, web applications, or any server/WASM deployment accessible by persons outside Customer’s organization), Customer is deemed a “Distributor” and must obtain a distribution license. Under a distribution license, Customer may use Customer’s ClassCAD Key to operate Customer’s service so that Customer’s end users do not require their own ClassCAD Keys, provided that Customer remains responsible for compliance with this Agreement and for all use made through Customer’s service.
License Keys; Commercial Evaluation Use; Subscription Term; Renewal: Access to and operation of the Software requires a valid license key (“ClassCAD Key”). Each ClassCAD Key is personalized, may be used only by the Customer to whom it is issued, and must not be shared, transferred, or made available to third parties, except as expressly permitted under a valid Distribution License.
A ClassCAD Key authorizes the Customer to start and operate a ClassCAD process in supported operating modes, including native (server-side) and WebAssembly (WASM). For WASM deployments, the Customer must specify and restrict the permitted origins authorized to use the key.
Billing: Enterprise and commercial customers shall receive an invoice for the applicable subscription fee at the beginning of each subscription period, unless otherwise agreed in writing.
Diagnostic and Error Logging Data: Customer acknowledges and agrees that the Software may collect technical error logging and diagnostic data, which may be automatically transmitted to AWV’s servers solely for the purpose of analyzing, reproducing, and resolving software issues. Such data collection shall not include Customer business content unless otherwise agreed.
Intellectual Property Rights and Ownership. The Software, including all source code, object code, algorithms, models, user interfaces, documentation, updates, enhancements, and all related intellectual property and proprietary rights therein, are and shall remain the exclusive property of AWV Informatik AG (“AWV”) and/or its licensors. Except for the limited license expressly granted under this Agreement, no rights, title, or interest in or to the Software are granted, assigned, or transferred to Customer, whether by implication, estoppel, or otherwise. Customer shall not remove, alter, or obscure any copyright, trademark, or proprietary notices contained in or affixed to the Software. Any feedback, suggestions, or improvement proposals provided by Customer regarding the Software may be used by AWV without restriction or obligation, and without compensation to Customer.
Support, Maintenance, and Updates. AWV provides community-based support for all users via its official Discord channel, which is offered on a best-effort basis and without guaranteed response times. Direct contact with AWV developers, priority handling, or dedicated support services are not included for standard customers and are available exclusively to customers holding a valid Gold Partner license, subject to the terms agreed for such partnership. AWV may, at its discretion, offer development, customization, or consulting services to Gold Partners at its standard professional service rates, unless otherwise agreed in writing. AWV maintains the Software and provides updates, enhancements, and bug fixes from time to time, which may be made available for download during an active subscription period. While AWV will make commercially reasonable efforts to address reported defects, no guarantee is given that all bugs will be corrected. In particular, if a defect is caused by or related to third-party software or components, including but not limited to the underlying CAD kernel, AWV does not warrant or guarantee that a workaround or fix will be available.
INDEMNIFICATION. You agree to indemnify and hold AWV, its, employees, agents, partners and licensors (collectively, the “AWV Parties”) harmless from any losses, costs, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) relating to or arising out of: (a) your Content; (b) your use of, or inability to use, the Software; (c) your violation of this Agreement; (d) your violation of any rights of another party, including any users; or (e) your violation of any applicable laws, rules or regulations.
LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. YOU RECOGNIZE THAT THE PRICE PAID FOR THE RIGHTS GRANTED TO YOU HEREIN MAY BE SUBSTANTIALLY DISPROPORTIONATE TO THE VALUE OF THE PRODUCTS TO BE DESIGNED, STORED, MANAGED OR DISTRIBUTED IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE SOFTWARE AND SERVICE. FOR THE EXPRESS PURPOSE OF LIMITING THE LIABILITY OF AWV TO AN EXTENT WHICH IS REASONABLY PROPORTIONATE TO THE COMMERCIAL VALUE OF THIS TRANSACTION, YOU AGREE TO THE FOLLOWING LIMITATIONS ON AWV’S LIABILITY. TO THE EXTENT ALLOWED BY LAW, AWV’S LIABILITY, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE) OR OTHERWISE, ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE SOFTWARE OR DOCUMENTATION FURNISHED HEREUNDER SHALL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS ($100) OR 1/10 OF THE AMOUNT YOU HAVE PAID AWV IN THE PAST 12 MONTHS. IN NO EVENT SHALL AWV BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY, COVER, RELIANCE, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING LOSS OF DATA OR PROFITS, WHETHER OR NOT AWV HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. YOU AGREE THAT SUCH LIMITATIONS ARE FAIR AND REASONABLE IN LIGHT OF THE TERMS UNDER WHICH THE SOFTWARE IS BEING MADE AVAILABLE TO YOU. THIS LIMITATION WILL APPLY EVEN IF ANY REMEDY STATED HEREIN IS FOUND TO HAVE FAILED OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE. LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY IN SOME JURISDICTIONS, AND IN SUCH CASES AWVS LIABILITY WILL BE LIMITED TO THE FULLEST EXTENT DESCRIBED ABOVE THAT IS PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.
Governing Law and Jurisdiction. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the substantive laws of Switzerland. The ordinary courts at the registered seat of AWV Informatik AG shall have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or in connection with this Agreement.
