The Combined Configuration Creator

Terms of Use

Version 2.0 — effective 4 September 2026

These Terms govern the BIMfriend Combined Configuration Creator (the “CCC Service”). The contract is concluded with Gabor Pais EU (Einzelunternehmer), Döblinger Hauptstraße 18/1/9, 1190 Vienna, Austria, VAT ID ATU83407136 (the “Provider”). Contact: officebimfriend@gmail.com.

1. Scope and contract documents

These Terms apply to registered CCC users. The License Agreement governs software and output usage. The Privacy Policy explains personal-data processing. Individually agreed offers take precedence. Separate Service-Specific Terms apply to training, BIM consulting, modelling and other professional services. If you act for an organisation, you confirm authority to bind it. Mandatory consumer rights remain unaffected.

2. The CCC Service

CCC is a browser-based BIM configuration generator. It accepts supported Excel workbooks and can generate selected IDS, Excel, TXT and Archicad-compatible XML files, including classification/property and IFC mapping files. The current interface and documentation determine supported formats, schemas, fields and software versions.

References to Microsoft Excel, Autodesk Revit, Graphisoft Archicad, buildingSMART IDS/IFC and Solibri describe compatibility or workflows only; these third parties do not sponsor or endorse CCC.

3. Accounts

  • You must be at least 18 and provide accurate, current information.
  • An account is personal to the registered user unless a team arrangement expressly permits more seats.
  • You must protect credentials and promptly report suspected unauthorised access.

4. Subscription request and conclusion of contract

CCC access cannot be purchased automatically on the website. You may request a monthly or annual access period by email. Your request is not yet a binding acceptance by the Provider. We will clarify the customer, plan, price, VAT treatment, intended start date and any individual conditions by email and then send a written confirmation and/or pro forma payment request.

The contract is concluded when we expressly accept the request by email, unless that message states that acceptance occurs only upon receipt of payment. We may decline a request before acceptance. The accepted email correspondence, these Terms and the License Agreement form the contract.

5. Prices and bank-transfer payment

The standard prices currently displayed are €49 for one monthly access period and €549 for one annual access period, before VAT where offered to a business. Consumers will be informed of the applicable total price including VAT before the contract is concluded. The individual confirmation or pro forma request determines the final price and tax treatment.

Payment is made exclusively by bank transfer to the account stated in the authentic payment request or invoice. The customer bears any bank charges imposed by its own bank and must use the stated payment reference. Access is activated only after the full amount has been credited to our account, unless otherwise agreed in writing. A pro forma payment request is not a tax invoice; the proper invoice is issued in accordance with applicable tax rules.

6. Fixed access period and renewal

The paid access period begins on the activation date communicated by us and ends on the stated expiry date. A monthly or annual access period is a fixed term; it does not renew automatically and no recurring debit is made.

Access ends automatically on the expiry date. Continued access requires a new request, a new agreement and a new payment. We may send a non-binding expiry reminder, but neither the absence nor receipt of a reminder extends the contract.

Because the agreed access is for a fixed prepaid period, ordinary cancellation does not create a pro-rata refund. This does not affect statutory withdrawal, warranty or termination rights, an individual written agreement, or a refund voluntarily granted by us.

7. Consumer withdrawal

If you are a consumer, you generally have fourteen days from conclusion of the distance contract to withdraw without giving a reason. Send an unambiguous statement to our postal or email address. You may use this model form:

To Gabor Pais EU (Einzelunternehmer), Döblinger Hauptstraße 18/1/9, 1190 Vienna, Austria, officebimfriend@gmail.com: I/We withdraw from the contract for [service], ordered on [date]. Name and address: [details]. Date and signature (paper only): [details].

If you expressly request performance during the withdrawal period, you may owe a proportionate amount for service supplied before withdrawal. The right may expire after full performance only where all statutory requirements, including express consent and acknowledgement, are met.

8. User data and results

You retain your rights in supplied data and grant us only the rights required to provide, secure and support CCC. You must have the necessary rights and lawful basis for submitted content. Do not submit sensitive or confidential personal data unless necessary and lawful.

9. Professional verification

CCC automates file transformation; it does not provide architectural, engineering, legal, certification or conformity-assessment services. You must verify source data, generated files, mappings, units, cardinalities, classifications and software compatibility before relying on or delivering an output. A generated IDS or mapping file is not by itself proof of contractual, regulatory or standards compliance.

10. Acceptable use

You must not misuse CCC, share accounts beyond purchased seats, bypass restrictions, introduce malicious code, interfere with operations, probe systems without permission, scrape at unreasonable scale, infringe third-party rights or act unlawfully. Reverse engineering is prohibited only to the extent allowed by mandatory law. Automated access requires written consent.

11. Availability and changes

We may maintain and reasonably change CCC for security, legal compliance, interoperability or improvement. Continuous availability is not guaranteed. Material adverse changes to a paid subscription will be announced reasonably in advance where practicable; mandatory termination rights remain unaffected.

12. Suspension and termination

We may suspend access immediately for a security threat, unlawful use, non-payment or serious breach. A remediable breach will normally receive a reasonable cure period. If we end prepaid access for reasons not attributable to you, we will refund the unused portion unless equivalent continued access is provided.

13. Warranty, verification and liability

13.1 Nature of the CCC Service

CCC is an automated software tool for the transformation and generation of BIM-related data and files. Software errors, incomplete or unexpected outputs, interoperability issues and incompatibilities with third-party software, file formats, schemas or software versions may occur.

We provide CCC with reasonable care and skill. Except where mandatory law provides otherwise, we do not warrant that the Service will operate without interruption or error, that every generated output will be correct or complete, or that CCC will remain compatible with every third-party product, version, standard, schema or workflow.

13.2 User verification

The User must review and verify all relevant source data and outputs generated by CCC before an output is relied upon, incorporated into a project, submitted to a third party, used for contractual or regulatory purposes, or otherwise put into professional use.

In particular, the User must independently verify mappings, classifications, properties, values, units, cardinalities, identifiers, schemas, file structures and compatibility with the intended third-party software and workflow.

CCC does not provide architectural, engineering, BIM coordination, certification, conformity-assessment, legal or other professional advice. A generated output does not by itself constitute proof or a guarantee of compliance with a contract, standard, regulation or technical requirement.

13.3 Defect reporting and support

The User should notify the Provider in writing without undue delay after discovering an actual or suspected defect. To the extent reasonably available, the notification should include the relevant input file, generated output, a description of the unexpected behaviour, applicable software and version information, and any relevant error messages.

The Provider may investigate a reported defect and may provide a correction, update, workaround or other reasonable assistance. Except where mandatory warranty or consumer law requires otherwise, the Provider does not guarantee that every reported issue will be corrected or that a correction will be available within a particular period.

A defect report, investigation, support communication or attempted correction does not by itself constitute an acknowledgement of legal liability.

13.4 User responsibility and mitigation of damage

Business customers must take reasonable steps to prevent or mitigate damage. To the extent permitted by law, the Provider is not liable for the portion of damage that could reasonably have been avoided if the User had verified the output, reported the defect in time, maintained appropriate backups, or ceased using an affected output after becoming aware of the issue.

The requirement to provide written notice and mitigate damage does not restrict any mandatory rights of consumers.

13.5 Excluded circumstances

To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Provider is not liable for loss or damage caused by:

  • incorrect, incomplete or unsuitable source data supplied by the User;
  • use of an output without the verification required under these Terms;
  • modifications made to a generated file after generation;
  • use with unsupported or undocumented software, versions, schemas or workflows;
  • changes, defects or incompatibilities in third-party software, standards, APIs, file formats or systems;
  • failure to follow the documentation or reasonable technical instructions;
  • failure to maintain appropriate backups or independent copies; or
  • continued use of an output after the User knew or reasonably should have known that it might be defective.

13.6 Liability towards business customers

For Users acting as entrepreneurs or businesses, liability for damage caused by slight negligence is excluded to the extent permitted by applicable law, except where the Provider breaches a material contractual obligation. In that case, liability is limited to foreseeable damage typical for this type of contract.

To the extent permitted by law, the Provider is not liable for indirect or consequential loss, loss of profit, revenue, business opportunity or anticipated savings, business interruption, project delay, contractual penalties, third-party claims, or costs of recreating or manually correcting data.

Where liability towards a business customer cannot be excluded but may lawfully be limited, the Provider's total aggregate liability arising from the same or related circumstances is limited to the net fee actually paid for the access period in which the event giving rise to the claim occurred.

13.7 Mandatory liability and consumer rights

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability where exclusion or limitation is prohibited by mandatory law. In particular, the limitations do not apply to intentional misconduct, liability that cannot lawfully be excluded in cases of gross negligence, personal injury, mandatory product liability, mandatory data-protection liability, or any other liability that cannot legally be excluded or limited.

If the User is a consumer, all mandatory statutory warranty, conformity, remedy and liability rights remain unaffected. Where the Austrian Consumer Warranty Act (Verbrauchergewährleistungsgesetz – VGG) or other mandatory consumer-protection legislation applies, these Terms do not restrict any right that may not legally be restricted or excluded.

14. Amendments

We may amend these Terms for valid legal, security, payment or functionality reasons, with reasonable advance notice of material changes. Changes do not retroactively remove accrued rights. Where required, renewed consent will be requested. You may cancel before a material change takes effect.

15. Law and disputes

Austrian law applies, excluding conflict-of-laws rules and the UN Sales Convention. Consumers retain mandatory protections of their habitual residence. Vienna courts have jurisdiction for business customers; statutory consumer jurisdiction remains unaffected.
