Terms & Conditions
Last updated 15 October 2026
These terms govern your use of the website vase3d.io, the VASE 3D studio app, the Moldy mould planner, and the launch waitlist (together, the “Service”), operated by Afek Hershko (“we”, “us”). By using the Service you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use it.
1.The Service
VASE 3D lets you design 3D-printable vessels in your browser and export files for printing. It is offered on a free plan and paid plans, and some features are still being rolled out. We may add, change, or remove features, and we may modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Service at any time. Anything we say about upcoming features, timing, or pricing is a statement of current intent and may change.
2.Your account
To use the studio you sign in without a password, in one of two ways: with Google, or with a one-time sign-in link we email you, which works once and expires after 15 minutes. Both give us a verified email address. In the VASE 3D app you sign in through your browser in one of those two ways, and the browser then passes the app a one-time code that works once and expires after 90 seconds. Google’s signed response may also contain your name and Google profile picture; it never gives us your Google password. There is no VASE 3D password to set, reset or lose. While an app store is reviewing the VASE 3D app, its reviewer signs in to one test account with a review code we issue for that review only; the code works for no other account and is switched off when the review ends. Joining the launch waitlist is separate and takes only an email address. You are responsible for your account and for what happens under it, so keep your sign-in secure and give us accurate information. An account is for one person; please do not share it. We may suspend or close an account that breaks these terms or that we reasonably believe is being misused.
3.Eligibility
You must be at least 16 years old (or the age of digital consent in your country) to use the Service. Moldy downloads need you to be 18 or older, or to have an adult supervising. By using the Service you confirm that you meet these requirements and that the information you give us is your own and is accurate.
4.Your designs and your content
You keep ownership of the vessels and designs you create with VASE 3D. The studio works from the copy in your browser. While you are signed in, it also stores an account copy of saved vessel parameters, small preview images of saved vessels, saved glaze mixes and related studio records so saved work can follow your account; full-size thumbnails and the live vessel on screen remain on the device unless you publish or export them. To the limited extent we need to process or store a design to run the Service — for example to keep that account copy, build a preview or export through our engine, or host a design you choose to publish through a share link — you grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide licence to do so for those purposes only. Direct print ordering through VASE 3D is not built. You are responsible for what you design and share, and you confirm you have the right to do so.
Exports made on the Free plan include a small VASE 3D maker’s mark and a link code on the base of the piece. Maker removes it, and Foundry can use your own maker’s mark instead.
What you publish. A maker page, a gallery post, a photo, a caption or a feature request is public only because you chose to publish it. You keep ownership of it. For as long as it stays published you give us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to host it, to show it to other people on VASE 3D, and to make the resized copies and previews the pages need. The licence ends when you unpublish or delete it, or when your account is deleted; the Privacy Policy says what happens to backup copies. Publishing a piece does not give other people the right to copy or sell it, unless you say so.
5.Plans, subscriptions, and billing
VASE 3D offers a free plan and paid plans. The price, billing period, trial if available, and what each plan includes are shown before you buy. Polar is selected for new website subscriptions; when you buy through Polar, it acts as merchant of record and its buyer terms apply to the payment. A prior subscription bought through Paddle remains billed by Paddle under its buyer terms. Purchases in the iPhone or iPad app are billed through Apple’s App Store; purchases in the Android app are billed through Google Play. The payment provider and final charge are shown at checkout. Tax is included or added as that provider shows for your location.
Paid plans renew automatically each billing period until you cancel. You can cancel any time through the provider that billed you; the account screen shows where to manage your subscription, and you can contact billing@vase3d.io for help. Cancellation normally stops the next renewal, while access lasts until the paid period ends; a refund or revocation can end access earlier. Refunds are explained on the Refunds and cancellation page and handled under the applicable provider terms and law. Nothing here limits any statutory cancellation or refund right you have as a consumer. If we change a plan’s price, we will give you reasonable notice before it applies to a later renewal, and obtain consent where required by law.
We may run a promotional period in which some or all paid features are open to everyone at no cost. A promotional period is time-limited and we will show when it ends. It needs no card, it does not become a paid plan, and nothing is charged when it finishes — your plan simply stays whatever it already was. It is a gift, not a purchase or a contract of sale, and we may end or change one at any time; if you are already paying for a plan, a promotional period never reduces what that plan gives you.
Paid plans, monthly or yearly, may offer a free trial. A trial needs a payment method at checkout, and we tell you its length and the price that follows before you start it. Nothing is charged during the trial. When it ends, the plan begins and the stated price is charged and renews as described above, unless you cancel before the trial ends, in which case nothing is charged. Each customer may use one trial. A trial is not a promotional period: it becomes a paid plan unless you cancel it.
6.The waitlist
Joining the waitlist, or asking to hear when a plan opens, registers your interest and lets us notify you. It is not a purchase, a contract of sale, or a guarantee of access, timing, specific features, or pricing. You can leave at any time using the link in our emails or by contacting us. We handle the details you give us as described in our Privacy Policy.
7.Acceptable use
You agree not to: submit other people’s personal data without authorisation; provide false information; design or share anything unlawful or infringing; misuse, overload, probe, or attempt to disrupt the Service; or try to scrape, reverse-engineer, or copy our geometry engine, or to bypass the sign-in or the limits of your plan. We may suspend access to protect the Service or its users.
Published pieces. Do not publish: someone else’s work as your own; other people’s faces, names, addresses or documents without their agreement; anything unlawful where we operate or that infringes a copyright, trademark or design right; sexual content involving minors, or that sexualises a real person; content that attacks people for who they are; content that promotes serious harm, such as weapons made to injure or encouragement of self-harm; a page that pretends to be a person, studio or brand you are not; a piece that was not made in the studio presented as if it were; or spam, bulk advertising and uploads meant to break the service.
Reports and removal. Anyone can report a published piece with the report button in the gallery, without an account. A report is not a verdict: a reported piece stays visible until we have looked at it. If we remove a piece it leaves public view at once and goes back to your drafts, so the work itself is not deleted, and you cannot republish it until we lift the removal. If you think we removed something by mistake, write to legal@vase3d.io and we will look again. If something published here infringes your rights, report it with the button or write to the same address with the link, what is yours, and how to reach you.
8.Intellectual property
The Service and all of its content — including the VASE 3D name and logo, text, imagery, the node library, and the software and geometry engine behind it — are owned by us or our licensors and are protected by intellectual-property laws. These terms grant you no licence to use them beyond using the Service as intended. Your own designs remain yours, as set out above.
9.Third-party services
Some features rely on third parties, each governed by its own terms: Polar (selected web checkout), Paddle (prior or separately configured web billing), Apple and Google Play (in-app purchases), FacFox (print fulfilment, once we connect it — ordering through us is not built yet), and Google (sign-in, if you choose it — the one-time emailed sign-in link involves no third party beyond the mail provider that carries it). The full list of who can receive your data, including services that are not switched on, is on the privacy page. We are not responsible for those services beyond our own part in connecting you to them.
Moldy. Moldy, at studio.vase3d.io/moldy/, plans a mould from a solid model and is part of the Service. These terms cover it, together with the safety notices Moldy shows before each download. A Moldy file is a digital plan: we have not printed, poured or tested your mould. Sections 10 and 11 apply to it.
10.No warranty
The Service is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind, express or implied, to the fullest extent permitted by law. We do not warrant that it will be uninterrupted, error-free, or fit for a particular purpose, or that a design will print as expected on any given printer or material. Features still being rolled out may change or be withdrawn.
Printed and cast objects. VASE 3D produces digital geometry. We have not made or tested your piece. When our checks say a shape is “watertight” they describe the mesh, not whether a printed, glazed or cast object holds liquid. Whether an object is leak-proof, strong, heat-resistant or safe for food or drink depends on your printer, material, glaze and process, so check the material’s data sheet and the rules where you live before you use a piece that way, and do not rely on an export for pressure, heat or load-bearing use. Nothing in these terms limits liability that the law does not allow to be limited, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, or under product-liability law.
11.Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, we are not liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential loss arising from your use of, or inability to use, the Service. Where we are liable, our total liability is limited to the amount you paid us for the Service in the 12 months before the claim. Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded or limited by law.
12.Suspension and termination
You can stop using the Service and close your account at any time. We may suspend or end your access if you break these terms or to protect the Service. Sections that by their nature should survive — intellectual property, disclaimers, limitation of liability, and governing law — continue to apply after your access ends.
13.Changes to these terms
We may update these terms from time to time. The current version is always the one published on this page with the “Last updated” date above. For material changes we will give reasonable notice where we can. Your continued use of the Service after a change means you accept the updated terms.
14.Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Israel, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. The competent courts of Tel Aviv-Jaffa, Israel, have exclusive jurisdiction, except where mandatory consumer-protection law gives you the right to bring proceedings elsewhere. If a part of these terms cannot be enforced, the rest stays in force.
