The Platform is intended, by way of example and without limitation, for professional operators (retailers, showrooms, interior designers, furniture and ceramics companies, etc.).
By accessing the Platform and using the services and software made available therein (collectively, the « Services » and the « Software »), the professional user (the « User ») fully accepts these Conditions, which cancel and replace any previous version.
Art. 1 – Purpose and features of the Platform
- The Platform enables the online design and visualization of environments and products and provides access to:
- design web apps for creating 2D/3D projects;
- visualization web apps for augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) experiences;
- digital product catalogs (the « Digital Catalogs ») supplied by third-party companies (ceramics, furniture, bathrooms, plumbing and heating, etc.) (the « Third-Party Companies »);
- rendering services for generating photorealistic images.
Any additional applications or features may be made available in the future, under the economic conditions set out in the relevant License purchase agreements (the « Purchase Agreements »).

- By using the Platform, the User may export renders, images and quantitative reports.
