MartinWorks

Terms of Service

Last updated 13 September 2026

Plain terms for a small independent studio: the work shown here is mine, the free app comes with no guarantees, and an enquiry is a conversation, not a contract.

These terms cover your use of martinworks.org and anything you download from it. The site is run by Martin De Lange, trading as MartinWorks ("I" or "me"). By using the site you accept what is set out below.

1. What this site is

A portfolio and shopfront for a working 3D artist and designer. It shows past work, describes the services I offer, and hosts a free Windows utility I built for my own workflow.

2. The work shown here is mine

All renders, models, illustrations, pixel art, page copy, and design on this site are my own work and remain my property, except where a piece was made for a client and is shown with their agreement. Do not copy, republish, resell, or train models on it without written permission. You are welcome to link to any page.

3. Commissioned work

Sending an enquiry through the contact form starts a conversation. It does not create a contract and does not reserve my time. Scope, price, timeline, revisions, file formats, and who owns the result are agreed in writing for each project before work begins. Where those project terms and this page disagree, the project terms win.

Prices shown on the service pages are indicative starting points to give you a sense of range. The price for your project is the one I quote you in writing.

4. The free app

The MartinWorks Converter is free to download and use, for personal or commercial work, on as many of your own machines as you like. You may not resell it, repackage it, or present it as your own. It runs locally on your computer and I do not receive your files.

5. Downloads are provided "as is"

The app is offered without warranty of any kind. It is not code-signed, so Windows may warn you before running it. I do not promise it is free of faults, that it will suit a particular purpose, or that it will keep working on future versions of Windows.

Keep your own backups. Do not point a conversion tool at your only copy of anything you cannot afford to lose.

6. Limitation of liability

To the extent the law allows, I am not liable for indirect or consequential loss arising from your use of this site or the free app, including lost data, lost profit, or lost time. Nothing here limits liability that cannot be limited by law, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraud.

This does not affect your rights under the Consumer Protection Act where they apply.

7. Availability

This is a small independent site. It may be offline for maintenance, moved, or changed without notice, and pages or downloads may be added or withdrawn at any time.

8. Third party links

Where the site links somewhere else, that destination has its own terms and its own privacy practices. I am not responsible for the content of sites I do not run.

9. Privacy

What the site collects and why is set out in the Privacy Policy, which forms part of these terms.

10. Changes to these terms

These terms may change. The date at the top of the page changes with them, and the version published here is the one that applies.

11. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of South Africa, and the South African courts have jurisdiction over any dispute arising from them.
