05 Subscriptions and Billing

5.1 Pricing

All pricing for the Service is listed at lop.tools/pricing. Prices are in US Dollars (USD). Local taxes (VAT, KDV, sales tax) are additional where applicable and will be calculated at checkout based on your billing address.

5.2 Payment Processors

5.3 Billing Cycles

• Monthly subscriptions: Charged on the same calendar day each month
• Annual subscriptions: Charged once per year, providing 2 months free compared to the equivalent monthly rate
• Launch promotion: The first 50 annual subscribers receive 3 months free instead of the standard 2-month discount

Billing periods are calculated from the date of initial subscription activation.

5.4 Auto-Renewal

All paid subscriptions automatically renew at the end of each billing period unless cancelled. By subscribing, you authorize us to charge your selected payment method for each renewal.

You will receive a renewal notice via email at least 7 days before the renewal charge. To prevent renewal, cancel your subscription via Settings → Billing before the renewal date.

5.5 Refunds

• Annual subscriptions: Pro-rated refunds available for unused months upon cancellation, calculated from the cancellation date to the end of the prepaid period
• Monthly subscriptions: No refunds for the current billing period; cancellation takes effect at the end of the current period
• Refund processing: 5–10 business days after refund approval
• Disputes: Contact billing@lop.tools to discuss billing concerns. Initiating a chargeback before contacting us will result in account suspension pending resolution.

5.6 Plan Changes

• Upgrades: Take effect immediately. The new plan is charged on a pro-rated basis for the remainder of the current billing period.
• Downgrades: Take effect at the end of the current billing period. Plan limits applicable to the new tier are enforced from that date.
• Plan limit enforcement: Limits documented in your subscription tier (number of plans, items, containers, AI calls per month, etc.) are enforced from the start of each billing period.

5.7 Failed Payments

If a payment fails, we will attempt to charge your payment method up to 3 times over a 7-day period. During this time:

You can resolve a failed payment at any time by updating your payment method in Settings → Billing.

06 Plan Limits

Each subscription tier includes specific usage limits documented at lop.tools/pricing. Limits include:

• Number of load plans you can create per billing period
• Number of containers and items per load plan
• Number of AI-powered analyses per month

• Number of seats (Business and Enterprise tiers)
• Export volume

We may modify plan limits with at least 30 days notice via email. If a modification reduces your usage allowance, the change takes effect at the start of your next billing period.

Free tier limits are enforced strictly. Exceeding free tier limits requires upgrading to a paid plan or waiting until the next billing period.

LOP supports the upload and 3D rendering of STEP files (IGES support planned). When you upload STEP files:

• Files are stored encrypted at rest in DigitalOcean Spaces (Frankfurt, EU region)
• Files are processed by our STEP processor service to extract geometry, generate 3D meshes, and compute physical properties (volume, center of gravity, oriented bounding boxes)
• Generated 3D meshes (GLB format) are stored alongside the original files for fast rendering
• You retain all intellectual property rights in your CAD files
• We will not use your CAD files for any purpose other than providing the Service to you

• You can delete uploaded STEP files at any time via the Item Library
• File deletions are permanent within 30 days (immediate from active storage; backups expire within 90 days)

By uploading STEP files, you confirm that you have the right to use and process those files within the Service.

09 AI Features

9.1 How AI Features Work

LOP integrates with Anthropic's Claude API to provide optional AI-powered features, including:

• Load plan analysis and recommendations
• Optimization suggestions based on your specific cargo and constraints
• Natural language input for plan specifications

When you use these features, relevant load plan data is transmitted to Anthropic for processing. See Section 4 of our Privacy Policy for details on what data is sent.

9.2 Anthropic's Data Handling

Amber Makina operates under Anthropic's Commercial API terms. Under these terms:

• Anthropic stores API inputs and outputs for a maximum of 7 days, then deletes them
• Your data is never used to train Anthropic's AI models
• Data is encrypted in transit and at rest within Anthropic's infrastructure

For complete details, see Anthropic's Commercial Terms at anthropic.com/legal/commercial-terms.

9.3 AI Features Are Optional

You can use the Service without any AI features. AI features are enabled by default but can be disabled in Settings. If you disable AI features, no data is sent to Anthropic.

9.4 AI Suggestions Are Advisory

AI-generated analyses, suggestions, and recommendations are advisory only. You retain full responsibility for:

• Final loading decisions
• Compliance with safety regulations applicable to your cargo
• Verification of AI-generated outputs against your own expertise and operational requirements
• Any consequences of acting on AI recommendations

LOP and Amber Makina are not liable for losses resulting from reliance on AI suggestions. Use AI features as a tool to augment your judgment, not replace it.

You may not use our trademarks in a way that suggests endorsement, affiliation, or partnership without explicit authorization.

10.3 Feedback

If you provide feedback, suggestions, or ideas for improving the Service, you grant Amber Makina a perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free license to use that feedback to improve the Service.

11 Service Availability

11.1 Uptime Target

We target 99.5% uptime measured monthly, calculated as the percentage of time the Service is available and functional, excluding:
