3. Restrictions
Unless expressly authorized in writing, you may NOT:

Minor modifications, including changes to layers, colors, scales, file formats, names, or metadata, do not create a new original work and do not grant redistribution or resale rights.
4. Commercial Use
Commercial use is permitted only within projects where the Model forms part of a larger work or final deliverable.
The Model itself may never be the primary product offered for sale or redistribution.
5. User Responsibility
You are solely responsible for ensuring that your use of any Model complies with applicable laws, regulations, and any third-party rights.
Where a Model contains third-party components or manufacturer content, you are responsible for obtaining any additional permissions that may be required.

This license automatically terminates if you violate any provision of this Agreement.
Upon termination, you must immediately cease using the Model and delete all copies in your possession or control.

Sketchup.CGTips.org does not guarantee accuracy, completeness, compatibility, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or error-free operation.
8. Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Sketchup.CGTips.org, its owners, contributors, licensors, and affiliates shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, exemplary, or punitive damages arising from the use or inability to use any Model.
In all circumstances, the total liability of Sketchup.CGTips.org shall not exceed the amount paid, if any, for the applicable Model license.
