Terms of service

These terms govern your use of Persio. Using the service means you accept them. If you use it for a practice, a company or a client, you confirm you are allowed to agree on their behalf.

Persio is a product of Ambitious Machines, Inc., a Delaware corporation with its mailing address at 2810 N Church St, STE 90429, Wilmington, DE 19802, United States. “We” and “us” in these terms mean that company.

The service

Persio turns sketches, photos, references and written briefs into renders and videos of architecture, and the renders into presentations. Image and video models from third-party providers make each render; Persio composes what they are asked and keeps the results in your studio.

Your account and your studio

You sign in with a code or a link sent to your email, or with Google if you choose it. You are responsible for what happens under your account and for keeping that email account secure. Tell us promptly if you think someone else has access.

Your work, your credits and your plan belong to your studio, not to one person.

Your work

You own what you upload and what you make with Persio. We claim no ownership of your drawings, photos, references, renders, videos or presentations. You give us only the licence needed to run the service: to store your work, to send it to the models that make your renders, and to show it back to you and to the people you share it with.

By uploading, you confirm you have the right to use what you upload. In particular:

• Drawings, models, photographs and references must be yours or your client’s, or licensed to you for this use.
• Logos and brand material in your brand kit must be yours or used with permission.
• Any person who can be recognised in an uploaded image must have agreed to its use this way.

Acceptable use

You may not use Persio to produce:

• Images that copy another architect’s or photographer’s work you have no right to use.
• Material that is unlawful or defamatory, or that infringes someone else’s rights.
• Sexual content involving minors, or content promoting violence against people.
• Renders presented to a client, a buyer, a lender or a planning authority as photographs of a building that exists when it does not.

We may suspend a studio that breaks these rules. Where it is safe and lawful to do so, we will tell you why first.

Renders are illustrations

Image models are probabilistic. Persio pins your references and holds geometry where the mode allows, but a render can differ from your design, and the same request can give different results. Renders and videos are illustrations, not drawings: check them before you rely on them, and never use them for measurement or construction. We do not warrant that any output is unique, or that it will not resemble other work made by the same models.

Credits and payment

Persio has no free plan and no free trial: a new studio starts with no credits, and runs start once a plan or a pack is paid for. Every run costs credits, and the studio shows the cost next to the button before you start. Credits are taken when a run starts; a run that fails or is cancelled gives them back. Credits have no cash value, cannot be transferred to another studio, and are not refunded once spent on a run that finished.

A plan adds its credits at the start of each billing month, monthly or yearly. Plan credits that are not used in that month do not roll over, and plan credits are spent before pack credits. Packs are paid once and their credits never expire while the studio exists. Plans renew until cancelled; cancel or change a plan at any time in the billing portal, and the plan runs to the end of the period you have paid for. Payments are processed by Stripe. We may change prices with 30 days’ notice.

Sharing

A project or a presentation can be shared by link. Anyone with the link can see what it shows until you turn the link off, so share it only with people you mean to.

Availability

We work to keep Persio running, but the service is provided as it is. It depends on third-party providers, the model providers among them, and their outages become ours. We do not promise uninterrupted availability, nor that a given model stays available.

Liability

To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, including lost profits or lost business, arising from your use of Persio. Our total liability in any twelve months is limited to what your studio paid us in those twelve months. Nothing here limits liability that cannot lawfully be limited.

Ending the agreement

You can delete your studio at any time in Settings. That deletes its projects, files and presentations at once and cancels any subscription, so download what you want to keep first. We may close a studio that breaks these terms. If we stop offering Persio, we will tell you at least 30 days ahead so you can download your work. Data is deleted as described in the privacy policy.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its conflict of laws rules. Any dispute about them or about Persio is brought in the state or federal courts located in Delaware, and both sides consent to those courts’ jurisdiction.

Changes

We will email you before a material change to these terms takes effect. Using Persio after that date means you accept the new version.
