Matterport 2D Schematic Floor Plan Example (Matterport Cloud Subscription Agreement (17 November 2020) requires Matterport logo - and "powered by" – not be removed)

Matterport Cloud Agreement: Do Not Remove Matterport Logo/Matterport Notice

Hi All,

Did you know that you can not remove:

1. Matterport logo from the Matterport 2D schematic floor plan.
2. Matterport notices from the Matterport 2D schematic floor plan. ["powered by"]

That's according to the Matterport Cloud Subscription Agreement (17 November 2020) which states:

2.5. Branding. You acknowledge that each Schematic Floor Plan will contain a Matterport logo and other branding and proprietary notices of Matterport. You shall not remove, alter or obscure any such logo, branding or notices.

The Matterport Cloud Subscription Agreement goes on to state:

Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, You may add to each Schematic Floor Plan Your own logo and/or notices, provided that any such logo and/or notices: (a) are in compliance with, and do not result in a violation of, the terms of this Agreement; and (b) shall not state or imply that You are the owner or creator of the Schematic Floor Plan.[/]

I could imagine that if you add your clients' logo, some of your clients' might have concern regarding this statement from the Matterport Cloud Subscription Agreement (particularly if you are under contract specifically not to use your clients' logo in any way for marketing purposes):

[i]11.11. Customer List. Unless You notify Matterport in writing that You do not wish for Matterport to list Your name and logo, Matterport will have the right to include, on its website and sales collateral, Your name and Your logo (if any) in lists that identify customers of the Matterport Cloud, provided that Your name and logo shall be no more prominently featured than references to any other customers.

Your thoughts about not being able to remove the Matterport logo?

Best,

Dan

Who cares?
I can choose among dozens, maybe hundreds of service providers that draw floorplans.

I just refuse to use matterport for floor plans when I can give other companies the business for a faster turnaround at a similar price.

It’s Matterport’s loss if they choose to dictate in this way

Just imagine if Apple would force their iCloud subscribers to have all their uploaded photos with the apple logo somewhere in the picture. If you buy an equipment like the Matterport Pro2 (or like an iPhone)and you subscribe to a payed cloud plan (like iCloud for their larger plans) one would imagine your provider would NOT USE you for their marketing purposes. We all work hard to promote our services and to get our business going so I think we should have the right to get our virtual tours “clean”... with no “piggy back” strategies attached to it.

It would be nice atleast if they provided a JPG version in the floorplan download, the MLS dies not accept PNG images. My biggest gripe about Matterport floor plans is if you have three floors they will put it all on one image, however each floor is best viewed individually. Other than that they've always turned out brilliant.

They actually can do it closing your account, you are dealing with business driven by a lot of hired people and it can be irrational.

eBay killed my online business while I was paying them about $3000-4000 per year in fees. It was not their goal of course to kill my business but they started implementing some changes and made a lot of businesses to leave ebay because it was stop being buyer-seller friendly and only aimed at ebay revenue.

Facebook recently lost me as an advertiser over fake clicks charges I did not want to pay. I told them no refund for fake clicks means no ads from me anymore, they did not care. Even though I guess they should as they could see that I spent 10 times more for less than a year but they decided to grab my $150 and be happy with them.

@Wingman Why big companies are so stupid? What are they looking for?
Short term profit only?
There are some similar companies in China also.

They are just monstrosities that chase their own goals and if it means sweeping away small entities they do not really care.

Let me be the devil on the other shoulder. Matterport is trying to build a brand. A logo is part of that brand. Why do photographers put their logos or names on photos (yes, I know, not everybody)? To build our brand. I think Matterport wants to be the Gold Standard of the 3D imagery business. If MP is the gold standard(that's an if!), they want their logo on the floorplan to show people that you have used the trhe best for your clients.

I can answer that. Usually it is ok to promote anything with their logo when people using a free subscription account, a trial version or basically not paying for anything to produce something. However it is not a case here with Matterport. It is kind of not typical to ask customers to pay monthly for producing content while they still put their logo on it.

I do not need and I am sure I won't have any need to cover Matterport logo.. but I do understand those who want to do it when they are paying for their cloud accounts.

And look at the reality, a default Matterport 3D tour player does not even have a public field to display a photographer brand/name. Most of us are using "Presented By" but it is supposed to be our customer field. What's holding Matterport to create such a field is unexplainable.
