The rules of using our product.

1. Acceptance of Terms

These Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) form a binding agreement between you (“you”, the “User”) and PEB Optimization (“we”, “us”, or the “Company”). By purchasing, downloading, installing, or using the PEB Optimization Tool for STAAD (“the Software”), you confirm that you have read, understood, and agreed to these Terms.

If you do not accept these Terms, you must not purchase or use the Software.

2. About the Service

The Software is a deterministic optimization tool that works alongside Bentley STAAD CONNECT and assists with sizing of built-up tapered I-section geometry for PEB main frames. It checks designs against IS 800 and AISC LRFD/ASD code clauses. It is sold as a licensed application for professional use.

The Software has two parts: a desktop application installed on your computer, which reads from and writes to your STAAD model, and an online service operated by us, which handles licensing and run counting and, depending on the application version, some or all of the optimisation and design checks. The desktop application needs an internet connection while you use it. What the application sends to the online service, and how we handle it, is described in our Privacy Policy.

We aim to keep the online service available at all times but do not guarantee uninterrupted access. Planned maintenance, outages of our providers or of your internet connection may make it temporarily unavailable, and a run in progress at that moment may need to be started again.

3. License Grant

Subject to your payment of the applicable fee and continued compliance with these Terms, we grant you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to install the Software and use it, together with the online service, for the duration of your active plan.

Your licence belongs to your account and covers the number of seats in your plan. Each seat may be in use on one computer at a time; you may install the Software on several computers and move between them, but the number of computers using it at the same moment may not exceed your seats.

4. Permitted Use

You may use the Software for your professional structural design work, including commercial projects, subject to these Terms.

5. Restrictions

You agree not to:

• Copy, redistribute, sub-license, sell, lease, or rent the Software or any of its components.
• Reverse-engineer, decompile, disassemble, or attempt to derive the source code of the Software, except where permitted by applicable law.
• Modify the Software or create derivative works.
• Remove, alter, bypass, or obscure any proprietary notices, branding, or license-validation mechanisms, or distribute a modified copy of the Software.
• Share your account credentials with any third party, or use the online service through any client other than the Software.
• Send automated or excessive requests to the online service, or attempt to probe, copy, or derive its methods.
• Use the Software in any way that violates applicable law or infringes the rights of others.
• Use the Software with cracked, pirated, or unlicensed copies of STAAD or other host software.

6. Plans, Renewal, and Cancellation

The Software is sold by the run, as a yearly or perpetual licence, or under a custom enterprise agreement. Current prices are shown on our website and in the application.

• Runs: a number of optimize runs, chosen at purchase, to be used within 90 days of the date of purchase. Buying more adds to the runs left and starts the 90 days again. Unused runs lapse when the period ends.
• Yearly licence: paid once for twelve months from the date of purchase, with unlimited runs. You may choose not to renew.
• Perpetual licence: paid once, with unlimited runs and no end date.
• Enterprise: billing terms are governed by the separately-agreed enterprise contract.

Nothing renews automatically. To continue after runs or a yearly licence end, you must make a new purchase.

7. Payment Terms

All payments are processed by Razorpay. We accept payments in INR and USD as displayed on the purchase page. All prices are exclusive of any applicable taxes unless otherwise stated. You authorize Razorpay to charge the amount shown at checkout.

8. Refund Policy

A refund may be requested within 24 hours of payment, with a reason. Refunds and cancellations are governed by our Refund Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference.

9. Delivery

11. Disclaimer of Warranties

Our total aggregate liability under these Terms shall not exceed the total fees actually paid by you to us in the twelve months preceding the event giving rise to the claim.
