Unlayered 3D™

Terms of Use

Last Updated: September 11, 2026

These Terms of Use (the “Terms”) govern access to and use of www.unlayered3d.com and the web-based features, accounts, community tools, purchasing functionality, and other services made available by Unlayered 3D, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Unlayered 3D,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) through that website (collectively, the “Services”).

PLEASE READ THESE TERMS CAREFULLY. By accessing or using the Services, creating an account, electronically signing an agreement, activating Unlayered Universe, uploading content, or selecting an “I agree” or similar acceptance control, you agree to the Terms and any additional terms presented for the applicable Service. If you do not agree, do not use the applicable Service.

We may modify these Terms from time to time. Unless otherwise stated, changes apply prospectively when posted. Where applicable law requires affirmative consent to a material change, we will request that consent before the change applies. Your continued use after the effective date of an updated version constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.

1. The Services

The Services currently include an informational website concerning Unlayered 3D products and software; account and authentication features; restricted pilot/customer resources; purchasing and payment-related functionality; application, support, and scheduling features; and Unlayered Universe, a community repository for 3D models, pre-sliced files, print files, images, metadata, profiles, comments, votes, and related content.

A single Unlayered 3D account may be used across multiple Company services. Depending on your relationship with the Company, the same account may be associated with hardware/customer access, software access, and/or an optional Unlayered Universe profile. Access to or eligibility for one Company service does not automatically activate another service or make your profile public on Unlayered Universe.

Certain Company hardware, software, pilot programs, purchases, and other products or services may be subject to additional or separate agreements.

2. Separate Agreements and Order of Priority

Products, pilot programs, software, purchases, enterprise arrangements, quotations, order forms, statements of work, nondisclosure agreements, software licenses, and other transactions may be subject to additional agreements. Purchases are also subject to the Company’s applicable Terms of Sale.

If these Terms conflict with a separately executed agreement between you and the Company, the separately executed agreement controls with respect to the applicable transaction, product, or service. If service-specific terms presented by the Company conflict with these general Terms, the service-specific terms control for that Service.

3. User Accounts

Certain features require an account. You must provide accurate, current, and complete information requested during registration and must promptly update information that materially changes. Authentication may be provided through one-time email codes, supported third-party identity providers, or other methods made available by the Company.

An account may include a profile record containing fields such as a display name, username, bio, printers or equipment, and an avatar or profile photo, including when the account originated through a hardware purchase, customer-access flow, or software access. The existence of that profile record does not by itself make the profile publicly visible on Unlayered Universe or activate Universe features. Public Universe participation requires a separate Universe activation/onboarding step and acceptance of the applicable Unlayered Universe Terms of Service.

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of temporary access codes and other credentials and for activity occurring through your account. You may not sell, rent, transfer, or share an account in a manner that circumvents these Terms, age restrictions, geographic restrictions, or the intended functionality of the Services.

The Services are not available to children under 13. Users who are at least 13 but under 18 may create an account and use only those features that the Company makes available to minors. Unlayered Universe is read-only for users ages 13 through 17: they may browse and download public content but may not upload or publish content, comment, vote, or otherwise contribute public user-generated content. You must be at least 18 years old to upload or publish Unlayered Universe content or grant the content licenses described in the Unlayered Universe Terms of Service.

You may not misrepresent your age or circumvent age-based restrictions. The Company may restrict an account if it learns or reasonably determines that the account holder does not satisfy the applicable age requirement.

4. General User Content

“User Content” means information or materials that a user submits, posts, transmits, or otherwise provides through the Services, including messages, form submissions, profile information, comments, images, models, files, and related materials.

Except for content submitted to Unlayered Universe or another Service governed by service-specific content terms, you retain ownership of your User Content and grant the Company a limited, nonexclusive license to access, host, store, reproduce, transmit, and internally use that User Content as reasonably necessary to operate the Services, respond to your request, evaluate or perform a transaction, provide support, protect the Services and legal rights, or comply with law.

Content uploaded or published through Unlayered Universe is subject to the separate Unlayered Universe Terms of Service and User Added Content Rules, including the separate rights granted to the Company for hosting, public distribution, research and development, AI/CAD development, software and hardware improvement, physical printing and testing, dataset creation, and marketing.

5. Unlayered Universe

Unlayered Universe is a community repository containing user-generated content. Universe content may include models, pre-sliced multi-axis files, G-code, toolpaths, printer profiles, images, descriptions, source/license information, comments, votes, and related metadata.

Universe content is created by users and is not necessarily reviewed, tested, validated, or endorsed by the Company before publication. Files may contain errors, incompatible machine instructions, embedded slicer or printer-profile metadata, or settings that are unsafe for a particular printer, firmware version, material, nozzle, or configuration. Users are responsible for independently reviewing compatibility, legality, licensing, and safety before downloading, printing, or using Universe content.

The Company may remove, restrict, relabel, disable access to, or decline to host any Universe content or account at its discretion, with or without notice, including where the Company believes content violates applicable law, these Terms, the Universe Terms, the User Added Content Rules, third-party rights, or the purposes of the Services.

6. Prohibited Automated Access, Scraping, and AI Use

Except with the Company’s prior written permission, you may not use bots, crawlers, scrapers, automated browsers, scripts, agents, data-mining tools, or other automated means to access, download, copy, index, collect, monitor, or extract models, files, images, metadata, profiles, comments, votes, or other content from the Services for:

  • commercial use;
  • artificial-intelligence or machine-learning training, fine-tuning, evaluation, benchmarking, or model development;
  • creation, enrichment, or resale of datasets;
  • bulk redistribution of models or files;
  • development or operation of a competing repository, content platform, data service, or other competing product or service; or
  • any purpose that circumvents technical restrictions, rate limits, authentication, geographic restrictions, or access controls.

Ordinary public search engines may crawl public webpages for general web indexing in accordance with the Company’s robots.txt and other technical instructions, but this exception does not authorize bulk downloading of model files or use of Service content for AI training, dataset creation, or commercial model harvesting.

These restrictions do not limit the rights expressly granted to the Company under the Unlayered Universe Terms of Service or other agreements.

7. Acceptable Use

You may not use the Services to:

  • violate any applicable law or regulation;
  • infringe or misappropriate copyright, patent, trademark, trade secret, privacy, publicity, confidentiality, or other rights;
  • upload or distribute content prohibited by the User Added Content Rules;
  • impersonate another person or organization or materially misrepresent affiliation or authorship;
  • transmit malware, malicious code, or files intended to damage hardware, software, or networks;
  • probe, scan, test, or circumvent the security of the Services without written authorization;
  • interfere with the operation of the Services, including by overloading, flooding, spamming, or bypassing rate limits;
  • use false headers, spoofed identities, or technical methods intended to conceal abuse;
  • collect personal information about other users except as permitted by the intended functionality of the Services and applicable law; or
  • use the Services for spam, deceptive promotion, fake engagement, or unauthorized commercial solicitation.

8. Company Intellectual Property; License to You

Except for User Content and software or materials expressly made available under a separate license, the Services and their text, graphics, logos, icons, images, interfaces, data, software, and other materials are owned by the Company or its licensors and are protected by intellectual-property and other laws.

Subject to these Terms, the Company grants you a limited, nonexclusive, nontransferable, revocable license to access and use the Services for their intended purposes. Except as permitted by an applicable open-source license, a user-selected content license, or other written agreement, you may not copy, modify, distribute, sell, sublicense, frame, mirror, reverse engineer, or create derivative works from the Services or Company proprietary software.

Nothing in these Terms limits rights granted under an applicable open-source license. Additional information is available in the Company’s Open Source Software Notice.

9. Purchases and Payments

Prices and availability may change before an order is accepted. Payment information is processed by third-party payment providers. You represent that you have the legal right to use any payment method you submit.

Purchases, shipping, warranties, returns, risk of loss, product-specific restrictions, and related matters are governed by the applicable Terms of Sale or separately executed agreement.

10. Third-Party Services and Links

The Services may link to or integrate with third-party services, including payment, authentication, scheduling, email, hosting, storage, analytics, and infrastructure providers. We do not control third-party services and are not responsible for their content, availability, security, or independent practices. Your use of a third-party service may be governed by that provider’s terms and privacy policy.

11. Geographic and Network Availability

The Company may restrict or prohibit access to some or all Services from particular countries, territories, networks, proxies, VPNs, anonymization services, or other sources at its discretion, including for legal, regulatory, export-control, sanctions, security, fraud-prevention, abuse-prevention, technical, or business reasons.

You may not circumvent geographic, network, authentication, or other access restrictions.

12. Suspension and Termination

We may suspend, restrict, or terminate access to any Service or account, and may remove or restrict User Content, at our discretion and with or without notice, including for suspected violations of these Terms, service-specific rules, law, third-party rights, security requirements, or abuse-prevention measures.

We do not guarantee that User Content will be stored indefinitely. You are responsible for maintaining your own copies of content you wish to preserve.

13. Copyright and Intellectual-Property Complaints

The Company respects intellectual-property rights and may remove content alleged to infringe those rights. Copyright complaints and other intellectual-property complaints should be submitted in accordance with the Company’s Copyright and Intellectual Property Policy. The Company may terminate accounts of repeat infringers in appropriate circumstances.

14. Disclaimer of Warranties

THE SERVICES AND USER-GENERATED CONTENT ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW. EXCEPT FOR EXPRESS WARRANTIES PROVIDED IN A SEPARATE WRITTEN AGREEMENT, THE COMPANY DISCLAIMS ALL EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ACCURACY, RELIABILITY, AND AVAILABILITY.

THE COMPANY DOES NOT WARRANT THAT USER-GENERATED MODELS, G-CODE, TOOLPATHS, PROFILES, OR OTHER FILES ARE ACCURATE, SAFE, COMPATIBLE, LEGAL TO MANUFACTURE OR POSSESS, OR SUITABLE FOR ANY PARTICULAR MACHINE OR PURPOSE.

15. Limitation of Liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE COMPANY AND ITS DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, AFFILIATES, AND SERVICE PROVIDERS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES RESULTING FROM OR RELATED TO A USER’S USE OF, OR INABILITY TO USE, THE SERVICES, USER CONTENT, THIRD-PARTY SERVICES, OR ANY TRANSACTION OR POTENTIAL TRANSACTION CONDUCTED THROUGH OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE SERVICES.

SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF CERTAIN WARRANTIES OR THE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION OF CERTAIN DAMAGES. ACCORDINGLY, SOME OF THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. THESE LIMITATIONS APPLY TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.

16. Indemnification

To the extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Company and its directors, officers, employees, and agents from third-party claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and reasonable attorneys’ fees arising from your unlawful use of the Services, your User Content, your material violation of these Terms or service-specific terms, or your infringement or misappropriation of another person’s rights.

17. Privacy and Cookies

Our collection and use of personal information is described in our Privacy Policy. Our use of cookies and similar technologies is described in our Cookie Policy.

18. Open Source Software

Certain Company products and services may include or interact with software made available under open-source licenses. Such components are governed by their applicable licenses, and no conflicting provision of these Terms limits rights granted by those licenses. See the Open Source Software Notice for additional information.

19. Trademarks

“Unlayered 3D,” “Unlayered Universe,” related logos, and other Company names and marks are trademarks or claimed trademarks of the Company. You may not use Company marks in a manner that implies sponsorship, endorsement, or affiliation without prior written permission.

20. Governing Law and General Terms

These Terms and the relationship between you and the Company are governed by the laws of the State of Indiana, without regard to conflict-of-law principles, except to the extent another law must apply. Subject to any controlling provision in a separate agreement, each party submits to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located within the Southern District of Indiana.

If any provision is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in effect. A failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. Nothing in these Terms creates an agency, partnership, joint venture, employment, or franchise relationship.

The provisions that by their nature should survive termination, including provisions concerning intellectual property, content licenses, prohibited automated use, disclaimers, limitations of liability, indemnification, governing law, and enforcement, will survive.
