• Manufacturer documentation.
• Product manuals.
• Technical specifications.
• Publicly available documentation.
• Training materials that may lawfully be referenced.
• Engineering experience.
• Independent technical research.

MatrixMagic does not intend to unlawfully reproduce proprietary third-party databases.

MatrixMagic does not claim ownership of third-party factual product specifications.

The organization, implementation, presentation, original descriptions, application logic, workflows, and proprietary MatrixMagic database structure may, however, constitute MatrixMagic intellectual property.

7. Copyright and Manufacturer Materials

MatrixMagic does not claim ownership of third-party copyrighted material.

Where third-party material is referenced, users should understand that the original copyright remains with the respective copyright owner.

Future optional services, specialized functionality, hosting services, enterprise services, consulting, custom development, or other offerings may be governed by separate terms.

Any such changes would not alter ownership of MatrixMagic intellectual property.

31. Privacy

Use of MatrixMagic may involve limited processing of information depending on the features being used.

Where MatrixMagic collects personal information, such processing should be governed by the applicable PixelMatrix Video Engineering Privacy Policy.

Users should review the Privacy Policy separately where applicable.

32. No Partnership or Agency

Using MatrixMagic does not create:

• Employment.
• Partnership.
• Joint venture.
• Agency.
• Franchise.
• Manufacturer relationship.
• Professional-client relationship.

between the user and PixelMatrix Video Engineering solely by virtue of using the application.

33. No Manufacturer Endorsement

The presence of a manufacturer's equipment inside MatrixMagic should never be interpreted as a claim that the manufacturer has:

• Certified MatrixMagic.
• Approved MatrixMagic.
• Sponsored MatrixMagic.
• Tested MatrixMagic.
• Endorsed MatrixMagic.

unless an official relationship is expressly stated.

34. Good-Faith Development

MatrixMagic is developed in good faith as a tool intended to improve audiovisual engineering workflows.

Technical mistakes may occasionally occur.

If a user discovers an error, PixelMatrix Video Engineering encourages responsible reporting so the application can be improved.

The objective is to continuously improve accuracy while recognizing that manufacturer specifications and technologies change frequently.

35. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

The governing law and jurisdiction applicable to these Terms may be specified by PixelMatrix Video Engineering based on its business establishment and legal structure.

Nothing in these Terms is intended to exclude mandatory statutory rights or protections that cannot legally be excluded.

If any provision of these Terms is determined to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions should continue to apply to the maximum extent permitted by law.

36. Changes to These Terms

These Terms may be updated periodically as MatrixMagic develops.

The latest version should be made available through the MatrixMagic website or application.

Where legally appropriate, continued use of MatrixMagic after updated Terms become effective constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

Users are encouraged to review these Terms periodically.

38. Final Engineering Disclaimer

MatrixMagic is a planning, visualization, calculation, and documentation tool.

It is not an automated engineering authority.

No diagram, calculation, device configuration, routing recommendation, cable recommendation, bandwidth calculation, equipment profile, or other output should be treated as automatically correct simply because MatrixMagic generated it.

Before a real system is deployed:

**Check the specification.

Check the manufacturer documentation.

Check the firmware.

Check the cabling.

Check the bandwidth.

Check the signal path.

Check the power.

Test the system.

And have the appropriate qualified person approve the final engineering decision.**

MatrixMagic exists because professional engineers and technicians often need better tools to plan complicated audiovisual systems.

The intention behind MatrixMagic is simple:

**Create something useful.

Make it accessible.

Help engineers communicate better.

Help people learn.

Help reduce preventable mistakes.

And contribute something positive to the professional AV community.**

MatrixMagic is provided free for legitimate use.

We are not asking users to purchase access simply to benefit from the engineering tools provided by the platform.

In return, we ask users to respect:

• The engineering profession.
• Other users.
• Equipment manufacturers.
• Intellectual-property rights.
• The work involved in developing MatrixMagic.
• Applicable laws.
• Safety.
• Good professional practice.

The MatrixMagic Principle

**Free to use.

Built to help.

Not free to copy.**
