Terms of Service
1. Who we are
5MTools ("5MTools", "we", "us") provides the online tools at 5mtools.com for editing FiveM vehicle resources. You can reach us at info@5mtools.com.
2. Accepting these terms
These Terms of Service ("Terms") are a contract between you and 5MTools. By creating an account, or by using the service, you agree to these Terms and confirm that you have read our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use 5MTools.
3. Eligibility
- You must be at least 16 years old to create an account.
- If you are under the age of legal majority where you live, you may only buy credits with the permission of a parent or legal guardian.
- You may not use 5MTools if the law of your country forbids it, or if we have previously closed your account for breaking these Terms.
4. Your account
- You can sign up with an email address and password, or with Google or Discord. You can link or unlink Google and Discord on your account page, as long as one way to sign in remains. The information you give must be accurate.
- One account is for one person. Do not share your account or let others use it.
- Keep your password secret and use a strong one. You are responsible for what happens under your account unless it was not your fault (for example, a breach of our systems).
- Tell us at info@5mtools.com straight away if you think someone else has accessed your account.
5. The service
5MTools lets you open a FiveM vehicle resource (a .zip or .rar with .yft, .ytd and meta files) in one of its tools, edit it in your browser and download the edited resource as a .zip. The tools include livery creation, asset modification (for example de-badging, removing or patching parts), window glass settings and polygon reduction. Features may be added, changed or removed over time (see section 11).
The tools change 3D models, textures and configuration files automatically. Results depend on how the original vehicle was made. Liveries are stored as compressed textures (the format the game uses for its own liveries), which can soften very fine detail slightly. GTA V and FiveM cannot load a vehicle texture file larger than about 100 MB; before you download a vehicle over that size we warn you and offer to compress or shrink its liveries, which is free. Always keep a backup of your original files and check edited resources before using them on a live server.
6. Your files and content
- You keep all rights you have in the files, images and text you upload ("your content").
- You give 5MTools a limited, non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free permission to store and process your content only to provide the tools to you: to open, display, edit and export it for you. This permission ends when your content is deleted from our servers.
- We do not store your vehicles. While you work in a tool, a working copy is held in server memory only and is removed after 60 minutes without activity. Download your result before you leave – unsaved work cannot be recovered. We do not publish, share, sell or use your content to train AI models.
- Livery designs you create in the editor stay in your browser until you save them into the vehicle and export it.
7. Third-party rights
- Only upload content that you own or that you have the right to modify. Many vehicle models, textures and logos belong to their creators or to car manufacturers. Editing a resource with 5MTools does not give you any rights in it.
- You are responsible for making sure that your use, editing and distribution of a resource follows its licence, the rights of its creator and any trademark rights (for example manufacturer logos and badges).
- 5MTools is an independent service. We are not affiliated with, endorsed or sponsored by Cfx.re, Rockstar Games, Take-Two Interactive or any vehicle manufacturer. FiveM, Grand Theft Auto and related names are trademarks of their respective owners.
- If you believe content processed through 5MTools infringes your rights, contact info@5mtools.com with details and we will look into it promptly.
8. Acceptable use
You agree not to:
- use 5MTools to break any law or to infringe anyone's intellectual property, privacy or other rights;
- upload malware, or files designed to crash, overload or attack the service;
- try to access other users' accounts, sessions or data, or test, scan or probe our systems for weaknesses without our written permission;
- bypass sign-in, credit checks, usage limits or other security measures, or use the service through automated means (bots, scrapers) except as we allow;
- copy, resell, rent or reverse-engineer the service, or use it to build a competing service;
- share, sell or transfer your account or credits.
If you find a security problem, please report it responsibly to info@5mtools.com instead of exploiting it.
9. Credits and payments
- Credits are bought on your account page, in packs or as a custom amount of 5 to 500 credits; 1 credit costs £1. Before you pay, the price and the number of credits are shown. Prices include VAT where it applies.
- What costs credits: opening a vehicle and editing it are free. Downloading the edited vehicle costs 1 credit per change made with a tool, at most 10 credits per tool each time you open it. If nothing changed, the download is free, and downloading the same work again in that session is free. Shrinking liveries to fit the game's size limit is free. The cost is always shown before you download.
- Payments are processed by Stripe. Your card or payment details go directly to Stripe and are never seen or stored by 5MTools. Stripe's own terms also apply to the payment.
- Credits are added to your account once Stripe confirms the payment. If credits do not arrive within a reasonable time, contact us.
- Credits can only be used on 5MTools. They are not money, have no cash value, cannot be exchanged for cash (except as a refund under section 10), cannot be transferred to another account and earn no interest.
- Credits do not expire while your account exists. If you delete your account, or we close it under section 15, unused credits are lost, except where section 10 or the law gives you a refund.
- We may change prices or how many credits a feature uses. Changes never affect credits you have already bought, and we will show any new price before you use a feature or buy credits.
Referral programme
- Your account page shows a personal referral link. A new user who signs up through it and claims it within 7 days of creating their account gets 10 free credits once. The welcome bonus is given once per person, per internet connection and per device, and can't be claimed through a VPN, proxy or data-centre connection.
- When that new user makes their first credit purchase, you receive 10 credits, and every 5th referred user who makes a first purchase earns you a further 25 credits bonus. Each new user can only be referred once, you cannot refer yourself, and referral credits have no cash value and cannot be refunded.
- Creating multiple or fake accounts, or other abuse of the programme, is not allowed. We may withhold or remove referral credits obtained that way and close the accounts involved. We may change or end the programme with notice; credits already received stay yours.
10. Right of withdrawal and refunds
- If you are a consumer in the EU, the EEA or the UK, you have the right to withdraw from a credit purchase within 14 days of buying it without giving any reason. To do so, email info@5mtools.com with your account email and the date of purchase (a clear statement is enough; you do not need a special form).
- We refund the credits from that purchase that you have not used, using the original payment method, within 14 days of receiving your request. Credits you have already used are not refunded, because the service has already been supplied to you.
- Outside the withdrawal period we also refund credits if the service could not be provided because of a fault on our side, or where the law requires it.
- Nothing in these Terms limits the rights you have under mandatory consumer protection law.
11. Availability and changes to the service
- We work to keep 5MTools available and reliable, but we cannot promise it will always be available, error-free or uninterrupted. We may pause the service for maintenance, updates or security reasons, and at busy times you may be asked to try again later.
- We may add, change or remove features. If we remove a feature you have already paid credits for and it can no longer be used, we will refund the affected unused credits.
- If we decide to close 5MTools completely, we will give at least 30 days' notice by email and refund all unused credits.
12. Our intellectual property
5MTools, its website, software, design, logos and texts are owned by 5MTools or its licensors and are protected by law. We give you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable permission to use the service for its intended purpose while these Terms apply. Third-party software used by 5MTools remains subject to its own licences (for example, CodeWalker by dexyfex).
13. Warranties
We provide 5MTools with reasonable care and skill, and as described on our website. Apart from that, and to the extent the law allows, the service is provided "as is" and "as available". We do not promise that edited resources will work with every server, framework, game build or other mod. If you are a consumer, you keep the statutory rights the law gives you for digital services that are not as described or not fit for purpose, and these Terms do not exclude them.
14. Liability
- We are fully liable for damage we cause intentionally or through gross negligence, for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud, and wherever the law does not allow liability to be limited.
- Otherwise, we are only liable for foreseeable damage caused by breaking an essential obligation of this contract. We are not liable for loss of profit, loss of business, or indirect or consequential loss, and we are not liable for damage you could have avoided by following section 5 (keeping backups and checking edited files).
- Where liability can be limited, our total liability to you in any 12-month period is limited to the greater of the amount you paid us in that period and £50.
- If you are a business user, you agree to compensate 5MTools for reasonable costs and claims caused by your breach of sections 7 or 8.
15. Suspension and termination
- You can stop using 5MTools at any time, and you can ask us to delete your account by emailing info@5mtools.com from your account email address.
- We may suspend or close your account if you seriously or repeatedly break these Terms, if the law requires it, or to protect the service or other users. Where reasonable, we will warn you first and give you a chance to fix the problem. If we close your account without you being at fault, we refund your unused credits.
- Sections that by their nature should continue after the contract ends (for example 7, 14 and 17) stay in force.
16. Changes to these terms
We may update these Terms, for example when we add features, change prices or when the law changes. For important changes we will tell you by email or in the app at least 30 days before they take effect. If you do not agree, you can close your account before that date and get a refund of your unused credits. If you keep using 5MTools after the changes take effect, the new Terms apply. Earlier versions are available on request.
17. Law and disputes
- These Terms are governed by the law of the country in which 5MTools is established, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods.
- If you are a consumer, you also keep the protection of the mandatory laws of the country where you live, and you can bring claims in the courts of that country.
- Please contact us first if something goes wrong. Most issues can be sorted out quickly by email. You may also contact your national consumer protection authority or an alternative dispute resolution body. We are not obliged to take part in dispute resolution before a consumer arbitration board, but we will consider it in good faith.
18. General
- These Terms and the Privacy Policy are the whole agreement between you and 5MTools about the service.
- If any part of these Terms is found invalid, the rest stays in force.
- If we do not enforce a right straight away, we do not give it up.
- You may not transfer your rights under these Terms to anyone else. We may transfer the contract to another company that takes over 5MTools, provided your rights are not reduced; we will tell you if that happens.
- These Terms are written in English. Translations, if any, are for convenience only.
