Full license texts for all open-source components are available upon written request to BigNorth, LLC. Regarding Potrace specifically: BigNorth, LLC invokes the Potrace binary server-side as a separate, unmodified process in compliance with the GNU General Public License v2. The Potrace source code is not modified, bundled, or distributed as part of the proprietary application.
The inclusion of these open-source components does not alter the proprietary nature of GraphicDrawX1 as a whole, nor does it grant any rights to BigNorth, LLC's proprietary code or assets.
You agree to use BigNorth, LLC applications only for lawful purposes and in a manner consistent with all applicable local, state, national, and international laws and regulations. You expressly agree not to:

GraphicDrawX1 is designed to process all design work locally within your web browser. Project files, canvas data, images, and design content are stored on your local device and are not transmitted to BigNorth, LLC servers during normal operation.
Certain optional features require server-side processing — including but not limited to image vectorization via Potrace and PDF export via server-side rendering. When you use these features, the relevant image or canvas data is transmitted to BigNorth, LLC servers, processed, and the result returned to your browser. Such data is processed transiently and is not retained, logged, or stored beyond the duration of the processing request.
BigNorth, LLC does not require account registration to use GraphicDrawX1 and does not collect personally identifiable information during normal use. Standard web server logs (IP address, browser type, request timestamps) may be retained for security and operational purposes in accordance with industry-standard practices.
The application uses browser localStorage to persist user preferences (such as theme, UI scale, and mode settings) entirely on your device. No tracking cookies, advertising pixels, or third-party analytics are employed within the application interface.
Some deployments may incorporate third-party payment processors (such as Stripe) for commercial transactions. Such integrations are governed by the respective third-party's privacy policy and terms of service, which you should review independently.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, GRAPHICDRAWS1 AND ALL BIGNORTH, LLC SERVICES ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED.
BIGNORTH, LLC EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO:
You assume all risk associated with your use of these applications and any content you create, upload, or download through them. BigNorth, LLC does not warrant that server-side processing results (including vectorization output) will be accurate, suitable, or production-ready.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL BIGNORTH, LLC, ITS MEMBERS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, AFFILIATES, LICENSORS, OR SERVICE PROVIDERS BE LIABLE FOR ANY:
arising out of or in connection with your use of — or inability to use — any BigNorth, LLC application, even if BigNorth, LLC has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
IN JURISDICTIONS THAT DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, BIGNORTH, LLC'S LIABILITY IS LIMITED TO THE GREATEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.
TO THE EXTENT BIGNORTH, LLC'S LIABILITY IS NOT OTHERWISE LIMITED OR EXCLUDED, BIGNORTH, LLC'S TOTAL CUMULATIVE LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS OR YOUR USE OF THE APPLICATION SHALL NOT EXCEED FIFTY UNITED STATES DOLLARS ($50.00).
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless BigNorth, LLC and its members, officers, employees, agents, affiliates, licensors, and service providers from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, judgments, awards, losses, costs, expenses, or fees (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or relating to:
BigNorth, LLC reserves the right to assume exclusive control of any matter subject to indemnification by you, in which case you agree to cooperate fully with BigNorth, LLC's defense of such matter.
These Terms of Use and all matters arising out of or relating to them — or to your use of any BigNorth, LLC application — are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Washington, United States of America, without regard to its conflict-of-law or choice-of-law provisions.
The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG) does not apply to these terms.
If you access BigNorth, LLC applications from outside the United States, you do so on your own initiative and are responsible for compliance with applicable local laws. Nothing in these terms shall be construed to subject BigNorth, LLC to the laws or jurisdiction of any state or country other than the State of Washington.
Before initiating any formal legal proceeding, you agree to contact BigNorth, LLC in writing at the address provided in Section 14, describing your claim in reasonable detail, and allowing thirty (30) calendar days for BigNorth, LLC to attempt good-faith resolution of the matter. This informal notice period is a prerequisite to any formal proceeding.
If informal resolution fails, any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these terms, any BigNorth, LLC application, or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation, or validity thereof — including questions of arbitrability — shall be resolved exclusively by binding arbitration administered in Spokane County, Washington, in accordance with applicable commercial arbitration rules. The arbitration shall be conducted by a single neutral arbitrator mutually agreed upon by the parties, or appointed by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) if the parties cannot agree.
The arbitrator shall have authority to award any relief that would be available in a court of competent jurisdiction. The arbitrator's decision and award shall be final and binding, and judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. The prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its reasonable attorneys' fees and costs from the non-prevailing party.
Arbitration shall be conducted on an individual basis. The parties expressly waive any right to have disputes heard or decided as a class action, collective action, private attorney general action, or in any other representative proceeding. The arbitrator has no authority to consolidate more than one party's claims.
For any claim that cannot be submitted to arbitration under applicable law, or for the purpose of enforcing an arbitration award, both parties irrevocably consent to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the state and federal courts located in Spokane County, Washington. Both parties waive any objection to personal jurisdiction, venue, or inconvenient forum in those courts.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may seek emergency injunctive or other equitable relief from a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent immediate and irreparable harm, without waiving the right to arbitrate the underlying dispute.
TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, YOU WAIVE YOUR RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT OR CLASS-WIDE ARBITRATION AGAINST BIGNORTH, LLC. ALL CLAIMS MUST BE BROUGHT IN YOUR INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY. IF THIS WAIVER IS FOUND UNENFORCEABLE, THE ENTIRE ARBITRATION AGREEMENT IN THIS SECTION SHALL BE NULL AND VOID.
If any provision of these terms is found by a court or arbitrator of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, that provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable. The modification shall preserve the original intent of the provision as closely as possible. All remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.
These Terms of Use, together with any supplemental terms, product-specific policies, or order confirmations presented at the point of purchase or use, constitute the entire agreement between you and BigNorth, LLC with respect to your use of BigNorth, LLC applications. These terms supersede all prior and contemporaneous understandings, agreements, representations, and warranties — whether written or oral — regarding the subject matter herein.
Failure by BigNorth, LLC to enforce any right or provision of these terms on any occasion shall not constitute a waiver of that right or provision. A waiver by BigNorth, LLC of any default shall not constitute a waiver of any subsequent default of the same or any other provision.
You may not assign, transfer, delegate, or sublicense any of your rights or obligations under these terms without the prior written consent of BigNorth, LLC. Any purported assignment without consent is void. BigNorth, LLC may freely assign its rights and obligations under these terms, including in connection with a merger, acquisition, asset sale, or by operation of law, without notice to or consent from you.
BigNorth, LLC shall not be liable for any delay or failure to perform its obligations under these terms to the extent such delay or failure is caused by circumstances beyond BigNorth, LLC's reasonable control, including but not limited to acts of God, natural disasters, pandemic, war, terrorism, cyberattack, governmental action, infrastructure failure, or third-party service outages.
Any notices required or permitted under these terms shall be provided in writing. BigNorth, LLC may provide notice to you via the email address associated with your account (if any), or by posting a notice on the relevant application or website.
