Swage Terms of Use (public beta)

Draft.

Draft, not a legal opinion. The owner answers any regulator's questions or complaints himself as they come up.

1. What the service is

For useswage.com the service is provided by a sole proprietor (osek) registered in Israel. Contact e-mail: ask@useswage.com (the code separately sends mail from noreply@useswage.com — a different, send-only address).

Swage is a web service that converts geodata between formats — any supported format into any other, including pairs within the same family (CAD-to-CAD, GIS-to-GIS). You upload a file, choose the output formats, the service reads the source file, writes the chosen formats, and verifies the written result against the source.

Supported input and output formats are listed on the service page and may change. The service never writes DWG — DWG is read-only.

2. The beta is free, file limit

The service is currently a free public beta. There are no paid tiers yet. The donate button on the result screen, when configured, is not a payment: it is a voluntary link; the service itself never processes payments.

The limit per file is 300 MB. The service may also limit the number of objects and concurrent jobs; the limits in force are shown on the page before upload.

3. What happens to your file

• The source file is processed only to do the job you started.
• The result stays available for download for a stated period, then is deleted together with derived files (the period is shown on the job screen; the default is 24 hours).
• The service does not use your file for anything else: it does not pass it to third parties and does not train models on it. Details — the privacy page.
• If reading your file fails and you send it to us for review with the "Send for review" button, that is a separate, explicit action: the file is then kept longer than usual, solely to study the failure, and deleted once the cause is found.

4. Your data and your result

The file and the result are yours. The service claims no rights over the content of an uploaded file or the conversion result. Responsibility for the legality of a file's content (including third-party personal data inside cadastral layers, labels, or attributes) rests with you — see also section 6.

5. Acceptable use

You may upload files you are entitled to handle (your own, or with the data owner's permission). You may not:

• upload files you are not entitled to process or disclose to third parties (third-party intellectual property without permission, data barred from disclosure by law or contract);
• probe the service with aggressive load or attack testing without prior arrangement;
• attempt to bypass limits on file size, job count, or access to another user's job by guessing its number.

6. Third-party personal data inside your files

CAD and GIS files sometimes carry third-party personal data: names in drawing title blocks, parcel owners in cadastral layers, addresses. By uploading such a file you confirm you are entitled to have it processed as described in the privacy page, and you remain responsible to those third parties yourself. On request, for a business customer whose files contain third-party personal data, the operator will sign a separate, reasonable data-processing agreement.

7. Service "as is", limitation of liability

• The service is provided "as is". The loss forecast shown before writing and the "Verified" seal are measured, stated properties of the service, not a guarantee that any given file is free of errors.
• The limitation of liability applies to the extent allowed by applicable consumer-protection law; it does not override mandatory consumer protections for individual users.
• The service is not responsible for the content of user files or for decisions made on the basis of a conversion result.

8. Changes to these terms

These terms may change as the service develops (for example, when paid tiers appear). The date of the last change is shown at the top. Changes material to free beta users are announced on the service page.
