# Planetka Terms of Service

Last updated: 2026-05-12

These Terms govern your use of the Planetka Blender add-on when it connects to Planetka-hosted services, including account access, streamed texture delivery, Full Quality purchases, data-pack purchases, downloads, and related web pages.

The Planetka add-on source code may be distributed under a separate open-source licence. That software licence does not grant access to Planetka-hosted data, paid texture data, payment services, or commercial texture rights. Hosted-service access and texture licences are governed by these Terms.

## 1. Acceptance

By using Planetka-hosted services, creating or using a Planetka account, requesting an API key, opening a Planetka checkout page, or purchasing Full Quality texture data, you agree to these Terms and to the Planetka Privacy Policy.

If you use Planetka for a company, studio, institution, client, or other organisation, you confirm that you have authority to accept these Terms for that organisation.

## 2. Product model

Planetka provides two public texture-quality modes:

- **Preview**: free streamed/cached texture data for personal, non-commercial use inside Planetka.
- **Full Quality**: paid texture data for still scenes, animation resolves, and predefined data packs. A commercial texture licence is included for Full Quality texture data that has been licenced to your account.

Only the products, prices, and rights shown in the current Planetka user interface, web pages, checkout pages, receipts, or written agreements apply. Older drafts, internal notes, test labels, or unreleased product names do not grant rights.

## 3. Preview texture access

Preview texture access is intended to let users explore Planetka and create personal, non-commercial work inside the add-on.

Preview textures are streamed and may be held in a temporary local cache. The cache is not a supported download product, archive product, or reusable texture dataset. You may not use Preview textures for commercial production, paid client work, resale, redistribution, dataset extraction, training datasets, or any workflow outside the intended Planetka preview workflow.

## 4. Full Quality texture licences

Full Quality texture data is licenced to your Planetka account when a purchase, promotional grant, or other authorised entitlement is completed.

A Full Quality licence allows you to:

- use the licenced Full Quality texture data for commercial and non-commercial renders, animations, still images, videos, and client work;
- download licenced Full Quality texture data where Planetka offers a supported download workflow;
- reuse licenced Full Quality texture data in your own creative and production workflows, including outside Blender, subject to these Terms and applicable source-attribution requirements.

A Full Quality licence does not transfer ownership of the underlying data sources, derived datasets, Planetka processing, or Planetka services. You may not resell, sublicense, redistribute, publish, or operate the licenced texture data as a standalone texture library, map product, dataset, API, tile server, training dataset, or competing service.

## 5. Scene, animation, and data-pack purchases

Planetka may offer Full Quality access as:

- a scene-specific licence for the Full Quality texture data needed for a still scene;
- an animation licence for the Full Quality texture data needed for an animation resolve;
- a data-pack licence for a predefined country, state, region, continent, world, or other area pack.

Planetka may also apply product discounts, volume discounts, promotional discounts, custom scene licence fees, or custom animation licence fees. The final price shown before payment is the price that applies to that transaction.

If a tile, data pack, or part of a purchase is already licenced to your account, Planetka may deduct that previously licenced value from later purchases where the current product rules support that deduction. The purchase page and checkout workflow show the applicable price before payment.

Small scene-specific or animation-specific amounts may be treated as free if they fall below Planetka's active charging threshold. This threshold may change over time.

## 6. Payments and checkout

Payments are processed through Stripe or another payment provider shown during checkout. Planetka does not store your card number or full payment-card details.

Stripe or the relevant payment provider may send receipts, payment confirmations, or invoices according to its own systems and the information collected during checkout. If you need a specific invoice or business document, contact Planetka support with the transaction details.

Planetka currently uses direct payment for paid public purchases unless a separate written agreement says otherwise.

## 7. Area labels, borders, and disputed territories

Included area labels are provided only to describe possible texture coverage for a data pack. They do not define borders, sovereignty, or political status. Planetka does not draw or decide national borders; a pack simply unlocks texture tiles that may be relevant to the selected area.

Where disputed territories, overseas territories, detached territories, or administrative regions are mentioned, the labels are used only for product discovery and texture-coverage explanation. They are not a political statement.

## 8. Attribution and source obligations

Planetka texture data is derived from multiple public and third-party data sources. Some sources require attribution or specific notices. You must follow the attribution instructions included with Planetka documentation and any attribution information shown by Planetka for the data you use.

For normal rendered outputs, the recommended attribution is:

`Planetka Earth textures derived from Copernicus Sentinel-2, NASA Blue Marble, JAXA AW3D30, DLR WSF 2015, GeoNames, and other credited sources.`

If your project has special distribution requirements, broadcast requirements, legal review, or source-credit formatting requirements, contact Planetka before publication.

## 9. Prohibited uses

You may not:

- bypass Planetka account, payment, entitlement, download, or rate-limit controls;
- share API keys, account access, or paid entitlements outside your authorised team or licence scope;
- scrape, bulk-download, reverse-engineer, or reconstruct Planetka-hosted data except through supported paid download workflows;
- use Preview textures for commercial work;
- use Planetka-hosted data to build, train, benchmark, validate, or distribute machine-learning datasets or AI models without a separate written licence;
- resell, redistribute, sublicense, host, publish, or expose Planetka texture data as standalone map tiles, source imagery, a dataset, a GIS product, a texture pack, an API, or a competing service;
- use Planetka in a way that overloads, attacks, interferes with, or attempts to bypass Planetka services.

## 10. Account and access controls

You are responsible for keeping your account, API key, and local installation secure. Planetka may suspend or restrict access if it detects abuse, unauthorised sharing, payment problems, security risk, excessive automated requests, or violation of these Terms.

Planetka may apply reasonable request limits, download limits, cache rules, device checks, or fair-use controls to protect service reliability.

## 11. Service availability and changes

Planetka depends on hosted infrastructure, storage, payment processors, third-party data sources, Blender compatibility, and network availability. Planetka will make commercially reasonable efforts to keep the service reliable, but service may be unavailable, interrupted, delayed, or changed.

Planetka may update features, pricing, discounts, thresholds, data packs, tile catalogues, UI wording, supported Blender versions, and service limits over time. Completed purchases remain governed by the rights granted at the time of purchase, subject to these Terms.

## 12. Refunds and corrections

If a payment, entitlement, price, or download appears incorrect, contact Planetka support with your account email, transaction time, product name, and any relevant screenshots. Planetka may correct account entitlements, refund payments, or otherwise resolve issues at its discretion and according to applicable law.

## 13. Warranty disclaimer and liability limit

Planetka is provided as-is and as-available. Planetka does not guarantee that the data is error-free, complete, suitable for navigation, suitable for surveying, suitable for safety-critical use, or suitable for legal boundary determination.

To the maximum extent allowed by law, Planetka's liability for claims related to the service, data, or these Terms is limited to the amount you paid to Planetka for the affected transaction or service during the twelve months before the claim.

## 14. Privacy

Planetka handles account, usage, payment-status, purchase-history, licence, and download information according to the Planetka Privacy Policy.

## 15. Contact

For support, licence questions, invoice requests, commercial questions, or enterprise arrangements, contact Planetka through the support or contact address provided on [planetka.io](https://www.planetka.io).
