Terms of use

These terms cover the Kinetic Intent website and software, including Pattern Carver, CNC Wiring Designer and Workspace Layout. Kinetic Intent is a trade name of Salvaged Elegance LLC, an Ohio limited liability company ("we", "us"). By using the software or buying a license, you agree to these terms.

1. Free version and license

Each app can be used free of charge with limits: Pattern Carver limits G-code export to small stock and watermarks SVG and PNG exports, and CNC Wiring Designer marks its exports "UNLICENSED COPY". In Workspace Layout every feature works without a key, and PDF, PNG and CSV exports carry an "UNLICENSED COPY" mark, while layout JSON files are not marked. A license key removes those limits and marks.

• A license is for one person or one business, on up to three computers you use.
• It covers every update within the same major version (for example all 1.x versions). A later major version may be a paid upgrade.
• You may use the software and what you make with it commercially, for example to sell carvings or machines you design with it.
• You may not share or resell your license key, redistribute the software, or remove or bypass the license check.

2. Safety: these are planning and design aids

The software helps you plan, design and document. It does not replace your own judgement or a qualified professional, and its output is not a certified design.

• G-code: check every program in a preview and run it as an air cut (spindle off, Z raised) before cutting material. Machines, controllers, bits and materials vary, and you are responsible for the settings you run.
• Electrical: mains wiring must be checked or done by a qualified person and meet your local codes. Verify every part, rating, hole position and dimension against the manufacturer's datasheet before you buy, cut or wire. Parts marked "Unverified" use typical dimensions.
• Shop layouts: clearances, walkways, cord reach and duct runs are rules of thumb, and the layout checks are not a building, electrical or safety code review. Machine sizes marked "≈" are estimates and listed sizes can differ from your machine, so measure before you build around them. Confirm electrical, gas, ventilation, fire and exit requirements with your local code or a qualified professional.
• Calculations and prices are estimates. Check them before relying on them.

3. No warranty

The software is provided "as is", without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including fitness for a particular purpose, to the fullest extent the law allows. We work to fix reported problems, but we don't promise the software is free of errors.

4. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect, incidental or consequential loss, for damage to machines, tools, materials or property, for injury, or for lost profits arising from use of the software or its output. Our total liability for any claim is limited to the amount you paid for the license concerned. Where the law doesn't allow these limits, they apply as far as it permits.

5. Purchases

Purchases are handled by our payment partner, which acts as the merchant of record and handles payment, sales tax and VAT. Its own terms apply to the payment. Refunds are covered by our refund policy.

6. Your files

The apps run in your browser and keep your projects on your computer. You own what you design. Keep backups of your project files, because browser storage can be cleared.

7. Changes

We may update these terms. The date at the top shows the current version. The terms in force when you bought a license continue to apply to that license.

8. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Ohio, USA, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute will be heard in the state or federal courts located in Ohio, unless the law where you live gives you the right to bring it there. Nothing in these terms takes away consumer rights that the law of your country or state gives you.
