Terms of Service

Acceptance of Terms:

Welcome to VirtualCAD. The VirtualCAD Service ("Service") is owned by VirtualCAD, Inc., which provides this Service to you, subject to the following Terms of Service ("TOS"), which may be updated by us from time to time without notice to you.


Language:

It is the express wish of the parties that the TOS and all related documents have been drawn up in English.

C'est la volonté expresse des parties que la présente convention ainsi que les documents qui s'y rattachent soient rédigés en anglais.

Es el deseo expreso de las partes que los Terminos de Servicio y todos los documentos relacionados con este sean redactados en ingles.


Description of Service:

VirtualCAD.com is a website that enables users to search for part numbers of mechanical components, download 3D CAD models, and make Requests For Quotes (RFQs) of several manufacturers of similar parts. The 3D CAD models are provided in multiple CAD formats to multiple computing platforms and operating systems. Designers and Engineers incorporate these 3D CAD models in their designs. This and related functionality found on the site is considered the Service.

Although VirtualCAD makes a strong effort to make the CAD models as accurate as possible, it is not responsible for any inaccurate dimensions or size data. CAD models that are rated with more stars (see Star System) will be more accurate than those with fewer stars.

An RFQ made for a specific part and manufacturer, will be sent to that manufacturer and some of its associated distributors. It is up to those parties to respond to the RFQ. VirtualCAD shall not be held responsible for any response or lack thereof.

VirtualCAD is not responsible for the accuracy of any data provided and, therefore, recommends that all users double-check all information pertaining to the part with the chosen manufacturer or distributor before designing with, or purchasing that part.

Unless explicitly stated otherwise, any new feature or enhancement to the current Service shall be subject to the TOS. You understand and agree that the Service is provided "AS-IS" and that VirtualCAD Inc. assumes no responsibility for the accuracy, timeliness, deletion, failed delivery or failure to store any data.

In order to use the Service, you must obtain access to the World Wide Web, either directly or through devices that access web-based content, and pay any service fees associated with such access. In addition, you must provide all equipment necessary to make such connection to the World Wide Web, including a computer and modem or other access device.


VirtualCAD Privacy Policy:

Information about you and your company is subject to conditions described in our Privacy Policy document.


No Resale of Service:

You agree not to reproduce, duplicate, copy, sell, resell or exploit for any commercial purposes, any portion of the Service, use of the Service, or access to the Service.


Modifications to the VirtualCAD Service:

VirtualCAD Inc. reserves the right at any time and from time to time to modify or discontinue, temporarily or permanently, the Service (or any part thereof) with or without notice. You agree that VirtualCAD Inc. shall not be liable to you or to any third party for any modification, suspension or discontinuance of the Service.


Termination:

You agree that VirtualCAD Inc., in its sole discretion, may terminate your access, (or any part thereof) and/or use of the Service, and remove and discard any content within the Service, for any reason, including, without limitation, for lack of use, or if VirtualCAD Inc. believes that you have violated or acted inconsistently with the letter or spirit of the TOS.

VirtualCAD Inc. may also in its sole discretion and at any time discontinue providing the Service, or any part thereof, with or without notice. You agree that any termination of your access to the Service under any provision of this TOS may be effected without prior notice, and acknowledge and agree that VirtualCAD Inc. shall not be liable to you or any third-party for any termination of your access to the Service.
