These terms govern your use of the Dynamo Forum at forum.dynamobim.com, including its content, API, and any tools that connect to it (the “Forum”). The Forum is owned and operated by Autodesk, Inc. (“Autodesk,” “we,” or “us”).

These terms, together with the Community Guidelines and the Autodesk Privacy Statement, form the “Agreement.” By accessing or using the Forum, including through an API key, bot, or AI agent, you agree to the Agreement. If you do not agree, do not use the Forum. You must be at least 13 years old to use the Forum.

1. Your account

You are responsible for keeping your account and any API keys issued to it secure. You are fully responsible for all activity under your account, including activity performed by scripts, integrations, or AI agents you connect to it. Notify the moderators promptly if you suspect unauthorized use of your account or keys.

Autodesk is not liable for any loss or damage resulting from your failure to secure your account or keys.

2. Responsibility of contributors

You are responsible for anything you post, link to, or upload to the Forum, including text, images, files, and code (“Content”), and for any harm it causes. By posting Content, you represent that:

  • it does not infringe anyone’s copyright, patent, trademark, trade secret, or other rights;
  • if your employer owns rights in what you create, you have permission to post it;
  • you have complied with any third-party licenses that apply to it;
  • it contains no malware or other harmful code;
  • it is not spam, unsolicited promotion, or content intended to manipulate search rankings, phish, or mislead others about its source;
  • it is not pornographic, threatening, or inciting violence, and does not violate anyone’s privacy or publicity rights;
  • it does not impersonate another person or organization; and
  • any code is accurately described, including what it does and its potential effects.

AI-assisted content. You may use AI tools to help write posts. You remain fully responsible for anything posted under your account. You must review AI-assisted Content before posting it, and you must not post unreviewed bulk or automated content. Moderators may require you to disclose AI assistance and may remove Content that appears to be unreviewed machine output.

3. User content license

You keep ownership of your Content. Content you post is licensed to others under the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported License, unless you state a different license for code you post.

Autodesk may, at its discretion, refuse or remove any Content that violates the Agreement or is otherwise harmful or objectionable, and may suspend or terminate access to the Forum for any user.

4. Automated access, API, and AI agents

You may access the Forum through its API, including through Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers and other AI agents, using API keys issued to your own account. When you do:

  • you must follow the Agreement exactly as if you were using the Forum in a browser;
  • you must respect rate limits and must not degrade the Forum for other users;
  • you must not bulk-download, scrape, or mirror Forum content, or use it to build a competing dataset or service, except as the Content license in Section 3 allows;
  • you must not use automation to post, reply, like, flag, or message at volume, or to manipulate votes, solutions, or trust levels;
  • you must not share API keys or use another user’s keys; and
  • you must not try to access categories, private messages, or data your account is not permitted to see.

Autodesk may limit, revoke, or block API keys, agents, or automated traffic at any time, with or without notice.

5. Staff-operated AI accounts

Autodesk may operate accounts on the Forum that are driven fully or partly by AI. These accounts are clearly labeled as automated in their name and profile.

AI-generated posts may be incomplete or wrong. They are not official Autodesk support, product commitments, or professional advice. Verify any code, workflow, or recommendation before relying on it, especially in production models or files. You can flag an AI-generated post for moderator review like any other post.

6. Responsibility of visitors

Autodesk does not and cannot review all Content on the Forum, including code, scripts, Dynamo graphs, and packages. Hosting Content does not mean Autodesk endorses it or believes it is accurate, safe, or useful. Some Content may be offensive, inaccurate, or infringe others’ rights. You are responsible for protecting your own systems and files, and you use Content from the Forum at your own risk.

7. Third-party websites

The Forum links to websites Autodesk does not control. Autodesk is not responsible for their content or for any harm from using them, and a link does not imply endorsement.

8. Copyright and DMCA

Autodesk respects intellectual property rights and expects users to do the same. If you believe Content on the Forum infringes your copyright, send a notice to Autodesk under its DMCA process. Autodesk will respond as required by law, which may include removing the Content. Autodesk will terminate access for users who repeatedly infringe.

9. Intellectual property and trademarks

The Agreement does not transfer any Autodesk or third-party intellectual property to you. Autodesk, Dynamo, Revit, Civil 3D, and related names and logos are trademarks of Autodesk, Inc. or its licensors. Using the Forum gives you no right to use them. Dynamo itself is open source under its own license, which is separate from this Agreement.

10. Privacy

Autodesk handles personal information collected through the Forum under the Autodesk Privacy Statement. Public posts, usernames, and profile information are visible to anyone, and may be read and processed by third-party AI tools and services, including Autodesk-operated AI accounts and agents that users connect through the API. Do not post personal, confidential, or project information you do not want to be public.

11. Changes

Autodesk may update the Agreement at any time by posting a revised version on the Forum, and will note the date of the latest update. Continued use after an update means you accept it. New Forum features and tools are covered by the Agreement.

12. Termination

Autodesk may suspend or terminate your access to all or part of the Forum at any time, with or without cause or notice. You may stop using the Forum at any time. Provisions that by their nature should survive termination will survive, including ownership, license, warranty disclaimers, indemnity, and limitation of liability.

13. Disclaimer of warranties

The Forum and all Content, including AI-generated Content, are provided “as is” and “as available.” Autodesk and its suppliers and licensors disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. Autodesk does not warrant that the Forum will be error-free or uninterrupted.

14. Limitation of liability

To the extent permitted by law, Autodesk and its suppliers and licensors will not be liable for any special, incidental, or consequential damages; the cost of substitute products or services; or interruption of use or loss or corruption of data, including damage to models or files from using Content or code posted on the Forum.

15. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Autodesk, its contractors and licensors, and their directors, officers, employees, and agents from claims and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, arising from your use of the Forum, your Content, or your violation of the Agreement.

16. General

This Agreement is the entire agreement between you and Autodesk about the Forum. It is governed by the laws of the State of California, excluding its conflict-of-law rules, with venue in the state and federal courts of San Francisco County, California. If any part is unenforceable, the rest remains in effect. A waiver of any term in one instance is not a waiver of that term going forward. Autodesk may assign its rights under the Agreement without restriction.
