Terms of Use

1. Who we are

The Brutalist (thebrutalist.app), ABN 31 573 604 785, is a service operated from New South Wales, Australia (“we”, “us”). You can reach us any time at hello@thebrutalist.app. By creating an account or using the service you agree to these terms.

2. The service

The Brutalist turns hand-drawn architectural sketches into AI-generated photorealistic images. It is an early-access product: features may change, be added, or be removed as it evolves.

3. Your account

You sign in with your email address — we send a one-time code, no password. Keep access to your inbox secure: anyone with your sign-in code can access your account. The service is intended for professional use by people aged 18 or over. One account per person; please don’t share accounts.

4. Free trial, subscription & billing

New accounts include 10 free renders. After that, continuing requires a subscription: A$49 per month for 100 renders per month, billed through Stripe. Unused renders don’t roll over between months.

Subscriptions renew automatically each month until cancelled. You can cancel any time by emailing hello@thebrutalist.app — cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period, and you keep your renders until then. If we change pricing, we’ll give you at least 30 days’ notice by email before it affects you.

If something went wrong with a charge, email us — we’re reasonable people. Nothing in these terms limits your rights under the Australian Consumer Law.

5. Your sketches & the renders

Your sketches are yours. By using the service you give us permission to process them — including sending them to our third-party AI provider (Google’s Gemini API) — solely to generate your renders and operate the service.

The renders generated from your sketches are yours to use, including commercially. Because they are AI-generated, similar outputs may be produced for other users from similar inputs, and copyright treatment of AI-generated images varies by jurisdiction.

6. AI output — important

Renders are AI-generated concept imagery. They are not architectural, engineering, or construction documentation, may contain inaccuracies, and must not be relied on for building compliance, dimensions, structural decisions, or regulatory submissions. Professional judgment is yours.

7. Fair use

Don’t upload unlawful content or content you have no right to use; don’t attempt to break, overload, reverse-engineer, or scrape the service; don’t resell access. We may apply technical limits (such as rate limits) and may suspend accounts that breach these terms.

8. Availability

We aim to keep the service available and the renders fast, but as an early-access product we can’t guarantee uninterrupted availability. We may suspend the service for maintenance or where third-party providers (hosting, AI, payments) have outages.

9. Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, we exclude liability for indirect or consequential loss, and our total liability for any claim is limited to the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim. Nothing here excludes rights that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law.

10. Ending or changing things

You can stop using the service or ask us to delete your account at any time. We may update these terms as the product evolves — for material changes we’ll notify you by email or in the app, and continuing to use the service after that means you accept the updated terms. These terms are governed by the laws of New South Wales, Australia.
