Terms of Service

1. Overview

1.1 Services

PatentDrawingAI provides an AI-assisted patent drawing tool that allows you to upload images, prompts, edit instructions, and other information ("Inputs") to produce patent-related outputs ("Outputs"). Inputs and Outputs, together with other User-provided materials, are "Customer Data" as defined in Section 4.

The Services may be powered by a combination of PatentDrawingAI proprietary methods and third-party machine learning and artificial intelligence services provided by third-party AI platforms ("LLM Providers") and other integrated services ("Service Providers").

The Services include a guest preview mode that allows unauthenticated Users to upload images and view AI-generated drawing previews without creating an account or subscribing. Guest preview drawings may be limited, watermarked, or restricted. To download or use generated drawings, you must create an account and subscribe to a paid plan.

1.2 No Training on Customer Data

PatentDrawingAI will not use Customer Data to train or improve machine learning or artificial intelligence models. We will use commercially reasonable efforts to select LLM Providers that state or contractually commit that Customer Data is not used to train or improve their models (except where you explicitly opt in), and to configure the Services to avoid enabling optional data-sharing or training programs.

You acknowledge that Service Providers may process Customer Data to provide their services in accordance with their terms and applicable law, subject to the above commitments.

1.3 Not a Law Firm; No Legal Advice

PatentDrawingAI is not a law firm, does not provide legal services, and is not a substitute for the advice or services of an attorney. Outputs are not legal advice and are not guaranteed to be correct, complete, or up to date. No attorney-client relationship or privilege is created by using the Services.

By using the Services, you consent to having your uploaded images and Inputs processed by artificial intelligence, including transmission to LLM Providers. For more information, see Sections 1.2 and 8.
