1. The agreement

These Terms of Service ("Terms") form a binding agreement between you and Tyler Thompson, doing business as Draftly ("Draftly," "we," "us"), and govern your use of the Draftly application, the marketing site at draftlycad.com, and all related services (collectively, the "Service").

By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you don't agree, don't use the Service.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old to use Draftly. If you're using Draftly on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization to these Terms.

3. Your account

  • You're responsible for keeping your account credentials confidential and for activity that happens under your account.
  • Notify us at hello@draftlycad.com if you suspect unauthorized use.
  • You must give us accurate information (a valid email address) and keep it current.
  • You may delete your account at any time from Settings, or by emailing us.

4. The service

Draftly is a computer-aided drafting application for designing 2D plans, layouts, and technical drawings. The Service is provided on an as-is basis and we may add, change, or remove features over time. We aim to give reasonable notice of material changes that affect paying users.

5. Free trial and Pro subscription

New accounts receive a 14-day Pro trial. No payment method is required to start the trial. When the trial ends, your account reverts to the free tier unless you upgrade.

Pro is currently sold as a monthly subscription, annual subscription, or a one-time lifetime purchase (subject to seat caps stated on the pricing page). Prices and feature lists are published on that page and may change with reasonable notice. Existing subscriptions remain at their original price for the billing period you've paid for.

6. Billing and refunds

  • Mobile purchases are processed by the Apple App Store or Google Play. Their billing and refund policies apply.
  • Web purchases are processed by RevenueCat and its payment partners. Receipts are sent by email.
  • Subscriptions renew automatically until canceled. You can cancel anytime in Settings or in the store where you bought. Cancellations take effect at the end of the current billing period — we don't pro-rate partial months unless required by law.
  • Refunds for the App Store and Google Play go through those stores. For direct web purchases, contact us within 14 days of purchase and we'll work it out.

If a Pro charge is wrong or unauthorized, email us at hello@draftlycad.com before disputing with your card issuer — we'll usually resolve it within a day or two.

7. Your content

Drawings, project files, and other content you create using Draftly ("Your Content") belong to you. We don't claim ownership of Your Content.

You grant Draftly a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, store, and transmit Your Content solely so we can operate the Service for you (for example, syncing your drawings across your devices). This license ends when you delete Your Content or your account, except where retention is required by law.

You are responsible for Your Content and for keeping your own backups. Draftly takes reasonable steps to protect data we store, but we strongly recommend exporting important drawings periodically. See the Privacy Policy for retention details.

We do not use Your Content to train AI or machine-learning models.

8. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

  • Use the Service to violate any law or another person's rights.
  • Reverse-engineer, decompile, or disassemble the Service except where the law permits it notwithstanding this restriction.
  • Resell, sublicense, or commercially exploit the Service in a way not contemplated by these Terms.
  • Interfere with or disrupt the Service, including using bots, scrapers, or denial-of-service techniques.
  • Use the Service to store or transmit malware, infringing material, or content that is unlawful, defamatory, or harassing.
  • Attempt to access another user's account or data without permission.
  • Probe or test the Service for vulnerabilities except under a documented, good-faith security disclosure (see contact section below).

We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these rules.

9. Intellectual property

The Draftly name, logo, marketing site, application code, design library, and the look-and-feel of the product are owned by us and protected by copyright, trademark, and other laws. We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the Service for its intended purpose, subject to these Terms.

Draftly is independent and not affiliated with Autodesk or AutoCAD. AutoCAD is a trademark of Autodesk, Inc.; we reference it only for compatibility and comparison purposes.

10. Third-party services

The Service relies on third-party providers (listed in our Privacy Policy) for hosting, authentication, email, and payment. Your use of those services is also governed by their terms. We're not responsible for actions taken by those providers that are outside our control.

11. Beta and preview features

Some features may be released as beta, preview, or experimental. Those features may change or be removed without notice, are provided as-is, and may have higher rates of bugs or downtime. Don't use beta features for mission-critical work without a backup of your file.

12. Disclaimer of warranties

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" BASIS. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, DRAFTLY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ANY WARRANTY ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE.

We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error- free, or free of harmful components, nor that it will produce drawings that conform to any specific code, standard, or regulatory requirement. You are responsible for verifying that drawings you produce meet the codes, standards, and professional-licensure requirements that apply to your work.

13. Limitation of liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, DRAFTLY AND ITS AFFILIATES WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOST PROFITS, LOST REVENUE, LOST DATA, OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE.

OUR TOTAL LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ANY AND ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICE WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (a) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID DRAFTLY IN THE TWELVE MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM AROSE, OR (b) USD $100.

Some jurisdictions don't allow certain disclaimers or limitations, in which case the above will apply to the extent permitted by law.

14. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Draftly and its operator from and against any claims, damages, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of (a) your use of the Service in violation of these Terms or applicable law, (b) Your Content, or (c) your infringement of any third party's rights.

15. Termination

You may stop using the Service or delete your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access if you breach these Terms or if we're required to do so by law, with reasonable notice where practical. On termination, your right to use the Service ends, but the sections that by their nature should survive — including Sections 7 (last paragraph), 9, 12, 13, 14, 17, and 18 — will continue to apply.

16. Changes to these terms

We may update these Terms as the product evolves. For material changes affecting paid users, we'll notify you by email or in-app notice before the change takes effect. Continuing to use the Service after the effective date means you accept the updated Terms. If you don't accept them, stop using the Service and cancel any active subscription.

17. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, USA, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. The state and federal courts located in San Francisco County, California will have exclusive jurisdiction over any disputes arising under these Terms, except where local consumer-protection law gives you a non-waivable right to bring claims in your home jurisdiction.

Before filing a formal claim, please email us at hello@draftlycad.com and give us 30 days to resolve it informally.

18. General

  • Entire agreement. These Terms, plus the Privacy Policy and any in-product notices, are the entire agreement between you and Draftly.
  • No waiver. If we don't enforce a provision, that's not a waiver of our right to enforce it later.
  • Severability. If a provision is found unenforceable, the rest of the Terms remain in effect.
  • Assignment. You may not assign these Terms without our written consent. We may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of substantially all of our assets.
  • Force majeure. Neither party is liable for delays caused by events outside its reasonable control.
