Terms & Conditions

1. Preamble, Corporate Identity, and Binding Acceptance

These Terms and Conditions (the "Terms") constitute a legally binding agreement between the independent individual operating Morcano as a sole proprietor based in Hungary (the "Operator", "we", "us", or "our"), and the individual or legal entity (the "User", "you", or "your") accessing, browsing, or utilizing the marketing website at morcano.app, the Morcano Studio parametric customization engine at studio.morcano.app, and all associated digital repositories (collectively, the "Platform").

The Platform provides a design library and an on-the-fly generative engine capable of exporting three-dimensional printable files intended for additive manufacturing (3D printing).

The User accepts these Terms by creating an account or otherwise using the Morcano Studio engine. Any crowdfunding contribution is governed by the terms of the crowdfunding platform on which it is made; these Terms govern the User's use of the Platform itself. If the User does not agree to be bound by every provision contained herein, the User must not create an account or use the Platform.

2. Definitions

For the purposes of these Terms, the following capitalized terms shall possess the specific meanings designated below:

• "Platform" signifies the web infrastructure, user interface, cloud architecture, and proprietary generative engines operated at morcano.app and studio.morcano.app.
• "Model Files" signifies all original digital assets, base geometries, top-piece aesthetic designs, underlying parametric node graphs, and associated metadata owned exclusively by the Operator.
• "Customized Files" signifies the distinct, three-dimensional geometry files (including but not limited to .stl, .3mf, .obj, and .gltf formats) generated, calculated, and exported by the Platform in response to the dimensional and topological parameters inputted by the User.
• "Physical Products" signifies the tangible, real-world objects manufactured exclusively via authorized additive manufacturing (3D printing) technologies, utilizing the Customized Files.
• "Plan" signifies the access level the User holds: the free Starter plan, or a paid plan (Explorer, Maker, Merchant, or a later subscription) as described on the plans page at studio.morcano.app/pricing.

3. Eligibility, Account Security, and Non-Transferability

The Platform is strictly restricted to individuals who have achieved a minimum age of 18 years, or the age of legal majority in the User's jurisdiction of residence, whichever is greater. By registering an account, the User represents and warrants that they satisfy this strict eligibility requirement.

Accounts are provisioned on a strict single-user basis. The User is absolutely prohibited from transferring the account, sharing authentication credentials, sub-licensing access rights, or permitting unauthorized third parties to utilize the Morcano Studio engine. The User bears sole and exclusive responsibility for maintaining the cryptographic security of their account credentials and must immediately report any suspected security breach to hello@morcano.app.

4. Fees, Billing, Cancellation, and Refunds

Plans. The Studio can be used free of charge on the Starter plan, with a monthly download allowance. Paid plans and their current prices are shown on the plans page before purchase: Explorer is a single payment for twelve (12) months of access from the date of purchase and does not renew automatically; Maker and Merchant are single payments for lifetime access. A monthly or yearly subscription may be offered later, with its terms shown at checkout. Launch prices apply to a limited number of places per plan.

Merchant of record. Our order process is conducted by our online reseller Lemon Squeezy (Sold through Link, LLC). Lemon Squeezy is the merchant of record for all our orders: it takes the payment, applies and remits sales tax or VAT, issues the receipt, and handles order-related inquiries and refunds. Its own buyer terms apply to the purchase itself. The Operator never receives or stores card details.

Lifetime access. "Lifetime" means the lifetime of the Studio: access for as long as Morcano Studio is offered, including generators added later. It belongs to the account that bought it.

Refunds. A paid plan can be refunded in full within fourteen (14) days of purchase, on request to hello@morcano.app or through Lemon Squeezy, provided no print-ready files have been downloaded under the paid plan beyond the free monthly allowance. After that, fees are non-refundable, save where a refund is required by mandatory consumer-protection law of the User's country of residence, or where the service was faulty or not as described. A refund ends the paid plan and returns the account to the free plan.

Subscriptions and cancellation. Where a subscription is offered, it can be cancelled at any time from the billing page linked in the User's account settings. Access continues until the end of the already-paid period, after which no further charges are made; there are no pro-rated refunds for the rest of a period unless required by law.

EU/UK Digital Content Notice: Consumers in the European Union or United Kingdom normally have a 14-day right of withdrawal for digital purchases. By choosing to generate, export, or download a digital file, or to use a paid plan to do so, the User asks for the immediate supply of that digital content and acknowledges that, once the download has begun, the statutory right of withdrawal for that specific downloaded file is lost. This does not affect the User's other statutory rights, including for a service that is faulty or not as described.

5. License Grants and Digital Resale Restrictions

The Operator grants the User a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the Platform and the files it generates, subject to these Terms.

Personal and commercial use. On the Starter, Explorer and Maker plans, the User may print Physical Products from their designs for their own use and as gifts, but not sell them. On the Merchant plan (and on any subscription that states it includes the commercial licence), the User may also sell the Physical Products they print. In every plan, the right covers the physical objects only: the Operator's library Model Files and the Customized Files themselves may not be resold or redistributed (see the prohibitions below).

Items made during the beta. Physical Products the User made while the Studio was offered free of charge during the beta, before paid plans launched, may still be sold on the terms that applied at the time (see "Changes to these Terms" below).

Absolute Core Prohibitions: Regardless of any current or future license, the following actions are absolutely prohibited and constitute an immediate, incurable material breach of these Terms:

• The resale, sub-licensing, sharing, torrenting, scraping, or digital redistribution of Model Files or Customized Files (.stl, .3mf, .obj, .blend, .gltf) to any third party, marketplace, or digital repository. This does not restrict the User's own files that the User uploads to the Studio.
• The extraction, reverse-engineering, or distribution of the underlying node graphs and mathematical formulas.
• The utilization of any Model Files, Customized Files, or visual renders to train, benchmark, fine-tune, or otherwise inform any artificial intelligence model, machine learning algorithm, or generative neural network.

6. Parametric Customization Tool Scope and Intellectual Property

The Morcano Studio engine allows Users to input dimensional and topological parameters to generate customized geometry. The User acknowledges and agrees that all outputs, including all Customized Files, legally constitute derivative works based upon the Operator's pre-existing proprietary intellectual property. The Operator retains exclusive copyright, title, and ownership of all algorithms, source code, and resulting digital geometries, excluding User Content as described below. The EU Data Act shall not be construed to grant the User portability rights over the Operator's proprietary node graphs, which are legally protected trade secrets.

To enforce these intellectual property rights, the Operator utilizes ephemeral processing architectures and reserves the right to embed cryptographic metadata and digital watermarking within the generated files. The User is strictly prohibited from attempting to strip, alter, or circumvent this protective metadata.

User Content. Text, SVG patterns, logos, and 3D models the User uploads or enters ("User Content") remain the User's. The User grants the Operator only the rights needed to process User Content in order to generate the User's files. The User is solely responsible for holding the necessary rights to all User Content, including trademarks, logos, and third-party models, and in particular before selling any Physical Product that incorporates it. The Operator may remove User Content or suspend access where it receives a credible notice of infringement.

7. Manufacturing Standards and Wearability Disclaimers

The licenses granted herein are strictly limited to additive manufacturing (3D printing) technologies, encompassing FDM, SLA, DLP, SLS, and MJF printing. The User is absolutely prohibited from utilizing the files for mass-production techniques, including but not limited to industrial injection molding, large-scale die-casting, or high-volume CNC milling, without executing a separate, negotiated enterprise license agreement with the Operator.

A User may engage third-party printing contractors solely to manufacture Physical Products on their behalf, provided the contractor is bound to strict non-disclosure and non-retention obligations regarding the digital files.

Complete Disclaimer of Wearability and Biocompatibility: The Operator provides mathematically validated three-dimensional geometry; however, the Operator exercises no oversight regarding the User's physical manufacturing hardware. The User bears sole, absolute, and non-delegable responsibility for:

• Printer calibration, slicing parameters, and compensating for thermoplastic print shrinkage.
• The selection and sourcing of non-toxic, skin-safe, and biocompatible filaments or photopolymer resins.
• Rigorous post-processing, including the complete and safe ultraviolet curing of resin models to prevent chemical burns, toxicity, or contact dermatitis upon wear.

The Operator disclaims any and all liability for bodily injury, skin irritation, allergic reactions, material toxicity, or hardware damage resulting from the physical manifestation, printing, or wearing of the Physical Products, to the extent permitted by law (see Section 9).

8. Commercial Use and Sell-Off Grace Period

The Merchant plan, and any subscription that states it includes the commercial licence, allows selling Physical Products without attribution: no "made with" notice is required on the products or in their listings.

Upon expiration or non-renewal of a commercial subscription (lifetime Merchant access does not expire), the subscriber must cease manufacturing new Physical Products but will be granted a thirty (30) day grace period to sell existing, already-manufactured stock, after which commercial rights end. This grace period is forfeited if the account is terminated for a breach of the digital-redistribution prohibitions above.

9. Disclaimers of Warranties and Limitation of Liability

The Platform, Model Files, and Customized Files are provided on a strictly "as-is" and "as-available" basis, without warranties of any kind. The Operator explicitly disclaims all implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, and flawless printability.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable jurisprudence, the total aggregate liability of the Operator arising out of or relating to these Terms, whether in contract, tort, or strict liability, shall be absolutely capped at the total amount of fees paid by the User to the Operator in the twelve (12) months immediately preceding the event giving rise to the claim.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for damage caused intentionally or by gross negligence, or any other liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law, including the mandatory consumer-protection rules of the User's country of residence.

10. Governing Law, Dispute Resolution, and Miscellaneous Provisions

These Terms shall be governed by the laws of Hungary, where the Operator is based. Any dispute shall be subject to the competent courts of Hungary. Nothing in this clause deprives a consumer of the mandatory protections of the law of their own country of residence, nor of the right to bring proceedings there where applicable.

Formal legal notices, privacy inquiries, and technical support requests must be directed to the Operator via the following channel: hello@morcano.app. If any provision of these Terms is deemed invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.

Changes to these Terms. The Operator may update these Terms, for example when the beta ends or paid plans launch. Material changes will be announced on the Platform or by email before they take effect, and continued use after that date constitutes acceptance. Changes do not apply retroactively: Physical Products made while an earlier version was in force may still be sold on the terms that applied when they were made.
