BSD Studio Terms of Service
1. The products and services
- BSD Studio desktop app: our 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) reconstruction software, including its proprietary CUDA / C++ cores for densification, rasterization, optimization and mesh extraction.
- Online services: our website (www.bsd3dgs.com), sign-in with one-time codes, license delivery and the Devices page.
- Documentation and updates: the user manual, sample data, support and later updates and patches.
Some features may be offered as beta or preview versions. They may be incomplete or contain defects. Keep your own backups of source data and results before processing.
2. Your data and compliance
- You are responsible for having the rights and permissions needed for the data you capture and process, including drone flight permissions, surveying licenses and any authorization required to scan restricted sites or critical infrastructure under the laws that apply to you.
- You must not use BSD Studio to infringe others' privacy, intellectual property or other rights, or to process unlawful content.
3. Your account
- You sign in with an email address you control (or, in mainland China, a mobile number) using one-time codes. Give accurate information and keep access to your email account secure.
- Your account is personal. Do not share, lend, rent, sell or transfer it, or let several people or organizations use one account.
- You are responsible for activity under your account. Tell us promptly if you suspect unauthorized use.
4. License
We grant you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable license to use BSD Studio according to your plan:
- Basic (free): for learning, evaluation and small projects. Limits: up to 600 images per project, regular video up to 10 minutes and panoramic video up to 60 seconds.
- Pro (paid subscription): no limit on input size, import of external camera alignment results, and full point cloud and mesh export. A Pro account can be signed in on one computer at a time; you can switch computers on the Devices page. Pro features check your license online periodically, with a short offline grace period so running jobs are not interrupted by brief network problems.
- The software is licensed, not sold. We keep all rights not expressly granted to you.
5. Intellectual property and restrictions
BSD Studio, including its source code, native libraries (.pyd / .dll), rendering pipeline, algorithms, interface, icons, text and documentation, is owned by BSD and protected by intellectual property laws. You must not:
- decompile, disassemble or reverse engineer the app or its libraries, or try to extract its algorithms, except where the law expressly allows this despite this restriction;
- hook, patch or crack the software, or bypass its license checks, device limits or time limits;
- interfere with or circumvent our servers' authentication or billing;
- use the software or its technology to build a competing product, cloud service or open-source project;
- repackage, redistribute, resell, rent or time-share the software.
If you breach these restrictions, we may end your license, suspend your account and devices, and seek remedies available by law.
6. Your content and results
- BSD Studio processes your photos, videos and projects locally on your computer. We do not upload them unless you choose to send us files for support.
- You own the results you create with BSD Studio from content you are entitled to use, including Gaussian splat files and meshes. We claim no ownership of them.
7. Orders, payment and renewal
- Prices are shown on the purchase page in US dollars. Taxes may be added at checkout depending on your country. Payments are processed by our payment provider, which may act as the reseller of record.
- Each purchase adds 30 days (monthly) or 365 days (yearly) of Pro to your account, after any time you already have. Your license is activated once payment is confirmed.
- Refunds are handled under our Refund Policy.
8. Disclaimer
BSD Studio is provided “as is” and “as available”. To the extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including fitness for a particular purpose, uninterrupted or error-free operation, and compatibility with every hardware configuration. Gaussian Splatting fits a model to your images; the visual quality and geometric accuracy of results depend on image overlap, lighting, sharpness, control points and your GPU. We do not warrant survey-grade accuracy.
9. Limitation of liability
To the extent permitted by law: (a) we are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, including lost profits, project delays, loss of goodwill, data loss or hardware wear; and (b) our total liability for any claim is limited to the license fees you paid us for the service in dispute during the 12 months before the claim. For free users, we have no liability for damages. Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law.
10. Changes and termination
- We may update these Terms. We will post the new version on our website and, for material changes, tell you in advance. If you keep using BSD Studio after the changes take effect, you accept the updated Terms.
- If you materially breach these Terms, we may suspend or end your license and ask you to delete all copies of the software. You may stop using BSD Studio and ask us to delete your account at any time.
11. Governing law and disputes
These Terms are governed by the laws of the People's Republic of China (excluding Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan). We will first try to resolve any dispute with you in good faith. If that fails, the dispute will be submitted to the competent people's court in the place where BSD is registered (Jiang'an District, Wuhan, Hubei). This does not deprive you of mandatory consumer protections under the laws of the country where you live.
