Agreement

By using MeshScout, you agree to these Terms & Conditions and the Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the service.

MeshScout may update these terms as the service changes. Continued use after an update means you accept the updated terms.

What MeshScout Is

MeshScout is an independent 3D model discovery index. It helps users search and compare model listings from multiple source platforms. MeshScout is not the creator, seller, host, or licensor of third-party models unless specifically stated.

Source Content and Licenses

  • Model listings, images, descriptions, files, trademarks, and licenses belong to their respective authors and source platforms.
  • MeshScout may display indexed previews and metadata to help users discover source listings.
  • You are responsible for reviewing the original source page, license, attribution requirements, and commercial-use restrictions before downloading, printing, sharing, remixing, selling, or otherwise using a model.
  • License summaries shown by MeshScout are informational only and may be incomplete or outdated.
  • If a listing appears incorrect, use the Contact page to report it.

Accounts

Some features require signing in with a supported OAuth provider. You are responsible for keeping your account secure and for activity under your account.

  • Usernames must be unique, non-impersonating, and appropriate for public display.
  • You may link more than one supported sign-in provider to the same account. At least one sign-in provider must remain linked so you do not lose access.
  • Authorized admins may view account security details such as signup method, join date, provider links, and login IP records when needed for support, abuse prevention, or legal concerns.
  • MeshScout may disable accounts, revoke roles, or remove access when needed to protect the service or other users.
  • Admin and staff permissions are granted at MeshScout's discretion and may be changed or removed.

Collections and User Content

Collections let users save and organize model references. You are responsible for collection names, descriptions, visibility choices, and any notes or user-provided text.

  • Do not use collections to harass, impersonate, spam, mislead, or publish illegal or abusive material.
  • Public collections, when enabled or shared, may be visible to others and may show your MeshScout username.
  • Authorized admins may review a user's collections when needed for support, moderation, abuse prevention, or legal concerns.
  • MeshScout may hide, edit, or remove public-facing user content that violates these terms or creates operational risk.

API Access

API keys are issued by authorized staff. Users may not generate their own keys unless MeshScout later adds that feature.

  • Keep API keys private. Do not publish, resell, share, or embed private keys in public client-side code.
  • API access is rate limited and may be tiered, changed, paused, or revoked.
  • Do not use the API to overload the service, evade rate limits, bulk-copy the database, attack source platforms, or violate third-party rights.
  • API responses are provided as indexed data and may be incomplete, delayed, or inaccurate.

Acceptable Use

  • Do not attempt to break, bypass, scrape, overload, reverse engineer, or interfere with MeshScout systems.
  • Do not use MeshScout to violate laws, licenses, platform terms, intellectual property rights, privacy rights, or security controls.
  • Do not submit malware, credential dumps, spam, deceptive content, or abusive reports.
  • Do not misrepresent MeshScout as affiliated with source platforms unless an official relationship is explicitly stated.

Ads, Affiliate Links, and Deals

MeshScout may display ads, affiliate links, sponsored placements, or deal listings. Ads and deal data may be provided by third parties and may change without notice. Prices, stock status, discounts, and shipping details should be verified on the seller's site before purchase.

No Warranty

MeshScout is provided "as is" and "as available." We do not guarantee uninterrupted service, complete indexing, perfect search relevance, accurate licenses, correct metadata, error-free operation, or availability of any particular source platform, model, API endpoint, collection, or feature.

Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, MeshScout and its operators are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages; lost profits; lost data; printing failures; purchases; licensing disputes; or third-party content issues arising from use of the service.

Enforcement

MeshScout may investigate suspected abuse, remove or hide content, revoke API keys, rate limit traffic, disable accounts, block requests, or contact service providers when needed to protect the platform, users, or source rights holders.
