Terms of use
These terms are an agreement between you and (“we”) about your use of gearscript.org: GearScript Studio, the language, the documentation, the examples and related tools on this site (together, “the service”). By using the service you agree to them. There are no accounts, so these terms apply to anyone who uses the site. If you do not agree, please do not use the service.
1. Who can use the service
Anyone may use the service. If you use it for an organisation, you confirm you may accept these terms for it. Younger users should use it with the permission of a parent, guardian or teacher where the law requires that.
2. Acceptable use
Do not use the service to break the law or anyone's rights; to create or share content that is unlawful, hateful, harassing or infringing; to attack, overload or probe the service; or to present a copy of the site as the official one.
3. Your projects and animations
You own the code you write and the animations you export. Your projects stay in your browser, and we claim no rights in them. You are responsible for having the rights to anything you put into them, such as models, images, audio and text.
4. Open source, our name and copyright
The GearScript software, the documentation, the reference documents and the example projects are © and the GearScript contributors, and are open source under the Apache License 2.0.
- You may use, copy, change and redistribute the software, including commercially, under the terms of that licence.
- The animations, videos and projects you make with GearScript are yours.
- The GearScript name and logo are not covered by the licence. You may say your work is made with or works with GearScript; please don't name your own product or service after it or use the logo as your own (see TRADEMARKS.md in the source code).
These terms cover your use of this website. Your rights to the software itself come from the licence, and you can run your own copy.
The studio uses third-party open-source software (including three.js, under the MIT licence) and fonts (under the SIL Open Font Licence); those parts remain under their own licences.
If you believe something on the service infringes your copyright, write to with the details and we will look into it promptly.
5. AI tools
The studio can write a prompt for you to paste into an AI service of your choice. That service is not ours; its own terms apply to what you send it. Code written by an AI can be wrong or incomplete, so check it before you rely on it. What the AI writes for your project is yours to use like the rest of your project.
6. Privacy
The privacy policy explains what the site collects: anonymous visit counts through GoatCounter, and nothing else of yours.
7. Feedback and support
If you send us ideas or feedback, we may use them without owing you anything. Contributions through Buy Me a Coffee are voluntary gifts that support the project. They do not buy features, priority or ownership, and Buy Me a Coffee handles them under its own terms.
8. Changes and availability
The service is a work in progress and is provided free of charge. We may change, suspend or stop features, and we may change these terms. If a change is significant, we will update the date above; continuing to use the service afterwards means you accept the new terms.
9. Ending your access
You may stop using the service at any time. We may block access from anyone who breaks these terms or puts the service or other users at risk.
10. Disclaimers
The service is provided “as is” and “as available”. It is a visualisation tool: animations are kinematic illustrations, not engineering simulations, and must not be relied on for safety-critical or professional engineering decisions. To the extent the law allows, we disclaim all warranties, including fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.
11. Limitation of liability
To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect, incidental or consequential losses, or for lost data, profits or business, and our total liability for any claim about the service is limited to the amount you paid us for it in the 12 months before the claim. The service is free, so that amount is nothing (₹0). Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law.
12. Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of India, and the courts of India have jurisdiction, unless the law where you live gives you the right to bring a claim locally.
