This document sets forth the terms and conditions (hereinafter, the "Terms"), governing the access and use (“the Services”) of the Alcro Studio Design Lab Project (the "Design Lab") owned by Tikkurila Sverige AB (hereinafter "PPG") with registered office at Textilgatan 31, 120 30 Stockholm.
The use of the Design Lab by any user will be regulated by these Terms. PPG may modify or update, in whole or in part, these Terms.

Purpose and Description
Design Lab is a digital tool designed to assist users in planning interior renovation projects through a streamlined, three-step process: Inspiration, Visualization, and Planning. The tool enables users to explore ideas, visualize their choices, and organize their projects efficiently.
Access and use of the Design Lab are provided by PPG for the following functionalities:
1. Inspiration: Users can create personalized mood boards by selecting images from various sources, including third-party platforms such as Unsplash and Pinterest, as well as their own uploaded images. A curated selection of predefined sample images is also available. These mood boards serve as a creative foundation, allowing users to explore colors and materials suited to their design vision. They can also save favorite colors and materials.
2. Visualization: Once users have selected their preferred colors and materials, they can utilize the visualization feature to preview how these elements might appear within an interior space. This feature is supported for Design Lab’s predefined sample images and user-uploaded images only. Users can create multiple visualizations, save their designs, and compare different versions to refine their choices.
3. Planning: In the final stage, users can generate a detailed shopping list based on their selected materials and colors. This list includes the option to select specific paint products and estimate the required quantities for each item. Users can also export their finalized plans as PDF files. Additionally, if desired, users can share their plans by granting read-only access through a shareable link.
