Terms of use

Last updated 12 November 2026

These terms are the agreement between you and Tal Vaknin, who provides ShapeDis ("we", "us"), a web app that turns a description of a part into a 3D model. By using ShapeDis you accept them. If you don't, please don't use it.

1. The service

You describe a part in chat, and an AI model writes the instructions that build it. ShapeDis runs them, shows you the 3D result, checks it, and lets you download files (STL, STEP, 3MF). ShapeDis does not slice models or send anything to a printer. You decide what to print.

ShapeDis is a beta. Features change, it can be slow or unavailable, and we may limit how much you can use it.

2. Who may use it

You must be at least 18 years old and able to enter a binding agreement. ShapeDis is not meant for children.

3. Your account

When accounts are offered, you are responsible for what happens under yours. Keep your sign-in details to yourself and tell us if you think someone else has used them.

4. Your content and your designs

• You own your designs. What you type, upload and download stays yours, and so do the models made from them, as far as we and our AI provider can give them to you. We claim no ownership.
• What we may do with it. You give us permission to store, process and display your content, and to send it to our service providers (see the Privacy policy), only to run ShapeDis for you, keep it safe and fix problems. We do not use your designs to train AI models, and we do not sell them.
• You need the right to use what you submit. Don't upload photos, files or designs you have no right to use.
• Other people's rights. A model that copies someone else's patented, trademarked or copyrighted design may infringe their rights. Checking that is your job.

5. AI makes mistakes: check before you print or rely on a part

ShapeDis uses an AI model. Its answers and the parts it makes can be wrong, incomplete or unsuitable, even when they look right and the checks pass. The checks in ShapeDis are aids, not guarantees.

• We do not promise that a part will print, fit, hold a load, survive heat, or suit any purpose, or that its sizes are exact once printed.
• Measure, test print and inspect before you rely on a part. Look at the model yourself before you send it to a printer.
• Do not use ShapeDis for parts whose failure could hurt people or cause serious damage, such as load-bearing structures, medical or safety equipment, or anything for vehicles or aircraft, unless a qualified person has checked the part.
• Printers get hot and move. Never leave one running unwatched because a design came from ShapeDis.

6. What you may not do

You must follow our Acceptable use rules, which include Anthropic's Usage Policy. In short: no weapons or weapon parts, no counterfeits, no infringing designs, no attacks on the service, and no use outside the regions where our AI provider allows access.

7. Credits and payments

You can start for free. Paid plans and top-ups are sold through our online reseller Paddle, the Merchant of Record, which takes the payment, handles tax and sends your invoice. The price and what it includes are shown before you pay, and we do not charge you without your clear agreement. Plans renew every month until you cancel. What credits are, when they expire, how to cancel and when you can get a refund are on the Refunds and cancellation page, which is part of these terms.

8. Suspending or ending your use

You can stop using ShapeDis at any time. We may limit, suspend or end your access if you break these terms, put the service or other people at risk, or if we have to by law or because a provider requires it. We will tell you why when we can. You can ask us for your data (see the Privacy policy).

9. Our rights

ShapeDis, its software, design and name belong to us or our licensors. These terms give you the right to use the service, not to copy it, resell it or take it apart.

10. No warranty, and limits on our responsibility

ShapeDis is provided "as is" and "as available". As far as the law allows, we make no promise that it will be accurate, uninterrupted or fit for a purpose, and we are not responsible for indirect or consequential losses, lost profits, wasted material or print time, or damage caused by a printed part. As far as the law allows, our total responsibility to you for anything connected to the service is limited to what you paid us in the 12 months before the problem, or to 100 US dollars if you paid nothing.

Nothing here limits responsibility that the law does not allow to be limited, including your mandatory consumer rights.

11. If someone claims against us because of you

You agree to cover us for claims and costs that come from content you submit or from your breaking these terms or the Acceptable use rules, as far as the law allows.

12. Law and courts

These terms are governed by the law of Israel. The courts of Tel Aviv, Israel, have exclusive authority over disputes, except where mandatory consumer protection law of the place where you live gives you the right to go to your local courts.

13. Changes

We may change these terms. For a significant change we will tell you in the app or by email before it applies, and the date above will change. If you keep using ShapeDis after that, you accept the new terms.
