The decision to suspend or terminate your access will be based on several factors, including the seriousness of your non-compliance and whether you have previously breached these Terms.
- Termination or Suspension for False Information or Unlawful Conduct: SIM3D reserves the right to suspend or terminate your access to the platform and/or your account if it is determined that you have provided false or misleading information or engaged in any unlawful conduct. SIM3D will evaluate the circumstances of each case, taking into consideration the same factors outlined in Section 15.2, including the severity of the misconduct.
- Termination for Material Breach: SIM3D may terminate your agreement and access to the platform by providing no less than fourteen (14) days’ written notice in the case of a material breach of these Terms that cannot be remedied within an additional fourteen (14) day period following the notice. If the breach is not remedied within this time frame, termination will take effect at the end of the notice period.
- Consequences of Termination: Upon termination, all rights granted under these Terms shall cease immediately. Any confidential information shared between you and SIM3D must be promptly destroyed. You must stop all use of the platform and its services, and both Customers and Content Providers must remit in full any outstanding payments due under these Terms.
- Survival of Rights: Termination of your account or agreement with SIM3D will not affect any rights or obligations that have already accrued prior to termination, including the validity of any content already purchased, downloaded, or licensed by Customers. Customers will retain their rights to use previously purchased content in accordance with the applicable license agreements.
- Access to Content Upon Termination: Upon written request, you may retrieve any content or data from the platform before the termination date. SIM3D may charge additional fees for retrieval, and after the termination date, all data, content, and accounts will be deleted, making them unrecoverable.

Custom Models
-
- General Description of the Feature: The “Order a Custom Model” feature allows Customers to request custom models to be created by Content Providers. This feature facilitates collaboration between Customers and Content Providers, enabling on-demand digital content tailored to specific requirements.
- Customer Request for Custom Models: Customers can submit a request for a specific model by providing detailed specifications, requirements, and expectations through the platform. Upon receiving the request, Content Providers will review it and, if they choose to accept, will create the custom model in accordance with the Customer’s specifications. The Content Provider may set a price and delivery timeline based on the complexity of the request. The Customer agrees to the fees set by the Content Provider when the request is accepted, and the project will proceed according to these Terms.
- Creation and Delivery of Custom Models: Once the Content Provider accepts the request and begins the project, the custom model will be “made on demand” according to the agreed-upon specifications, timeline, and price. After the model is completed, it will be delivered to the Customer through the SIM3D platform.
- Upload to SIM3D Shop: If the Customer and Content Provider have an existing agreement, or if mutually agreed upon, the completed custom model may be uploaded to the SIM3D Shop for future licensing or sale to other users. The rights to distribute or resell the model shall be governed by the separate agreement between the Content Provider and the Customer, if applicable.
- Revisions and Modifications: Depending on the terms agreed between the Content Provider and the Customer, revisions or modifications to the custom model may be allowed. Such terms, including the scope of revisions and associated costs, should be clearly outlined before project initiation.

- User Acceptance of Updated Terms: By continuing to use the platform after any amendments have been posted, users agree to be bound by the updated Terms. If a user does not agree with the revised Terms, they must discontinue using the platform and terminate their account in accordance with Section 15 (Termination and Suspension).
