  1. Eligibility and authority

  2. Design rights and permitted use
    You may upload and process only embroidery files that you legally own or that you are authorized to use and to create modified outputs from.
    You are responsible for following the license that came with each design, including any restrictions on modification or creating modified versions, redistribution, resale, or commercial use.

  3. Your consent to process uploads
    By uploading a file, you grant Artapli a limited, non-exclusive permission to process your file solely to generate the requested output for you.
    This permission does not transfer ownership of your design and does not give Artapli any rights to your design beyond providing the service.

  4. File handling and deletion
    The tool uses temporary storage only as needed to process your file and deliver the output.
    Uploaded files and generated outputs are intended to be deleted after processing or after the session expires.
    This tool is not a file storage or archiving service. If you need to keep files, you must save your own copies.

  5. Privacy notice
    The tool is designed for automated processing. Uploaded files are not manually reviewed as part of normal operation.
    Do not upload confidential or sensitive personal information. This service is intended for embroidery design processing only.

  6. What the tool does and does not do
    The tool generates a modified output file intended to reduce long untrimmed travel threads in DST workflows by adjusting travel and trim behavior.
    Your original uploaded file is not replaced or overwritten by the tool. The output is a separate file.

  7. Machine and workflow limitations
    Results depend on your machine controller, its settings (including trim rules and thresholds), the software used in your workflow, and production conditions such as fabric, stabilizer, thread, speed, and tension.
    This tool is designed to reduce long untrimmed travel threads, but it cannot guarantee specific stitch results across all machines, controllers, settings, or materials.
    Always stitch-test the output on a sample before production use.

    You agree not to:
    Upload files you do not have the legal right to use or modify
    Use the tool to facilitate infringement or unauthorized redistribution or resale of embroidery files or outputs
    Attempt to bypass access controls, rate limits, or security measures
    Upload malware, executables, scripts, or non-embroidery files intended to harm the service
    Interfere with the service, overload it, or attempt automated abuse

  9. Intellectual property
    Artapli does not claim ownership of your uploaded designs.
    Artapli retains all rights to the tool, website, and software used to provide the service.

  10. No license grant for designs
    This tool does not grant permission to redistribute, sell, or share embroidery files or modified outputs.
    All copyright and licensing rules set by the original designer still apply.

  11. Service availability and changes
    This tool is provided as a utility. Features may change, be updated, limited, suspended, or discontinued at any time.

  12. Disclaimers
    The tool is provided as-is and as-available.
    To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Artapli makes no warranties of any kind, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement.

    You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Artapli from claims, damages, liabilities, and expenses arising from your uploaded content, your violation of these terms, or your infringement of third-party rights.

  15. Governing law and venue
    These terms are governed by the laws of the jurisdiction where Artapli operates, without regard to conflict of law principles. Any disputes will be handled in the courts located in that jurisdiction, unless applicable law requires otherwise.
