The Bluebeam General Terms and Conditions of Use are the master agreement for all Bluebeam Services and Software. The Products and Services Addendum adds the licence grant and product-specific terms for Revu, Collaboration Services (Studio), trials, academic use and end of life. Both are dated “As of March 07, 2026”.[1][2] The two documents rank as follows:[1]
- Order terms control over the General Terms and the Additional Terms.
- Additional Terms control over the General Terms, but only for the Services or Software they cover.
- The General Terms control over any terms presented inside the Software.
The terms are accepted by purchasing, checking a box, executing an Order or simply using the Software.[1] For Webstore orders in the US and Canada, separate Online Terms of Sale cover ordering, payment and returns.[3]
Editions
The Addendum defines “Revu” as “the subscription Bluebeam branded desktop software application”. Revu is sold on an annual subscription under several plans, “each with distinct features, capabilities, and service entitlements”. Use is limited to the functions of the purchased plan.[2] Optional features may depend on the plan, may be offered only as a preview, or may need a separate purchase. Examples are third-party interoperability, connections to LLM clients through the Bluebeam MCP Server, and AI Features.[2] A Revu subscription includes Org Admin, technical support, Updates and Upgrades.[2]
Metrics
Authorized User (s.5.1.3). The Licensee and, if the Licensee is an entity, its employees, duly authorized agents and independent contractors, “but in every case an individual”.[2] The grant in s.5.2.2 is a revocable, limited, non-exclusive, personal, non-sublicensable, non-transferable right “for the number of Authorized Users specified in the applicable Order”. It covers internal business purposes only.[2] Catalog: Authorized User; Revu is licensed for the number of Authorized Users in the Order.
Seat and Device (s.5.1.14 and 5.1.5). A “Seat” is “one (1) copy of Revu downloaded to a Device”. A Device is “a personal computer owned or controlled by Licensee”.[2] Revu may be installed on the permitted number of Devices, but only Authorized Users may download and install it, and no third party may use it under the licence.[2] The support documentation sets the practical limit at five devices per user.[4] Catalog: Only Authorized Users may install Revu.
Unpaid Collaborator (s.5.1.17). This is a person with read-only access assigned by an Org Admin, or whose trial or subscription has expired. Such a person can use Revu read-only and join Collaboration Services with limited functionality, “without holding a paid subscription seat”. Section 5.2.2 lets the Org Admin designate Unpaid Collaborators so that Revu can be deployed broadly.[2] Catalog: Unpaid Collaborator; Unpaid Collaborators use Revu read-only without a paid seat.
Counting / floors
Payment (s.7.1.1). Direct purchases are paid at purchase, or within 30 days if invoiced. Additional Software can be added at any time.[1] Three further rules apply:[1]
- Promotional pricing is one-time.
- New purchases and renewals use then-current fees unless agreed otherwise in writing. Bluebeam may also raise fees for new purchases and renewals.
- After written notice of a past-due amount, Bluebeam may suspend access until payment.
Usage limits (“Audit”, s.7.2). “Services and Software are subject to the limits in the applicable Order, these Terms, or Documentation.” If limits are exceeded, Bluebeam may ask the customer to reduce usage or may suspend access. If the customer does not or cannot comply, it must promptly sign an Order for more quantities, pay invoiced overage, or both.[1] The clause survives for three years after termination.[1] It gives no right of on-site inspection, notice period or cost-shifting rule. That is narrower than the audit clause in the archived EULA for legacy licences. See Bluebeam Revu 20 end of life and legacy licences. Catalog: Usage above limits: reduce, buy more or pay overage.
Monitoring (s.2.3). Bluebeam may monitor and log access to and use of the Services and Software “for security, operational, and compliance purposes”.[1] Section 3 also lists “verifying compliance with the Terms including user validation via the internet” among the uses of customer data.[1]
Virtualization & partitioning
The current terms do not regulate virtualization directly. Three clauses do the work instead:
- use is limited to Authorized Users on Devices the Licensee owns or controls;[2]
- software may not be used to bypass limits or access controls (s.1.4);[1]
- the Software includes authorization and registration technology that may connect Devices to the internet to prevent unpermitted use (Addendum s.5.3.3).[2]
Cloud / BYOL
Collaboration Services (Studio) are optional and available “if made available in Your license or subscription plan”. Unpaid Collaborators with a Bluebeam ID may be invited with limited rights.[2] Studio runs on AWS in the region the customer selects.[2] Content inactive for 180 days may be archived, and is then permanently deleted no less than 120 days later. Customers are responsible for their own backups.[2] Bluebeam may suspend cloud services immediately for a security breach, a breach of the Terms or non-payment (s.7.2).[2] AI processing may take place on servers in the United Kingdom, and inputs are used only to process the request.[2] Catalog: Inactive Studio content is archived after 180 days.
Programs
- Trials and betas (Addendum s.2). A trial ends at the earliest of three dates: the trial end date, the purchase start date, or termination by Bluebeam. Trial data may be permanently lost unless the same product is bought by the last trial day.[2] Trials and betas that include AI features let Bluebeam use submitted files to train AI models, after aggregation and de-identification.[2]
- Educational users (s.3.1). Eligible current students, trainers and faculty must complete academic verification. Alumni do not qualify, and each educational end-user is limited to one Seat.[2]
- Trade-in and conversion offers (s.1). A traded-in or converted perpetual licence must stop being used. It may not be assigned to new users, sold or transferred.[2] Catalog: Traded-in perpetual licences must be retired.
- Resellers (s.7.1.1.2). The customer pays the reseller the agreed fees. Resellers cannot bind Bluebeam or change the terms.[1]
Restrictions
Section 1.4 forbids the customer to:[1]
- bypass limits or access controls;
- reverse engineer the Software;
- sell, rent, sublicense or transfer it without written authorization;
- use it “for any third-party benefit”, including hosting, timesharing or service bureau arrangements.
The third-party restriction expressly includes “parent, affiliates, subsidiaries, employees or agents”.[1] The Acceptable Use Policy (s.2.2) adds four more prohibitions:[1]
- reselling or sublicensing access;
- sharing login credentials or letting others use an account;
- excessive automated use, except through APIs Bluebeam authorizes in writing;
- getting around geographical or IP-based restrictions.
Every user needs a Bluebeam ID. An administrator may assign it, and may then access or disable it.[1] Catalog: No use for third parties, including affiliates; Bluebeam IDs may not be shared.
Term, renewal and termination
| Clause | Rule |
|---|---|
| s.7.4.2 Subscriptions | One-year Initial Term. It renews automatically for one-year Renewal Terms unless either party gives at least 30 days’ prior written (including e-mail) notice.[1] |
| s.7.4.3.1 For cause | Either party, after 30 days’ notice of an uncured material breach, or immediately on insolvency.[1] |
| s.7.4.3.2 For convenience | The customer may cancel within 30 days of the initial start date for a refund. This does not apply to renewals or add-ons. The customer may also cancel with five days’ notice after receiving updated terms.[1] |
| s.7.4.5 Effect | Stop using the Software, unregister it from all Devices, and delete all copies except one archival copy. Prepaid fees are refunded pro rata only after a termination for cause by the customer or within the convenience window.[1] |
| s.7.4.6 Data | On a written request made by the termination date, the customer gets up to 30 days of retrieval access. After that the data is deleted.[1] |
Catalog: Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled 30 days ahead; 30-day refund window on the initial purchase only; On termination: stop use, unregister devices, delete copies.
Changes to the terms (s.5). Bluebeam may modify the Terms unilaterally. It must give at least 30 days’ prior written notice of material changes, meaning changes “reasonably … expected to have a significant adverse effect” on the customer. A customer that rejects the changes must terminate, remove its content, cancel its User ID and stop using the Software.[1] Catalog: Term changes: 30 days' notice of material changes.
End of life (Addendum s.8). Bluebeam may end a Service or Software at any time. It posts End of Life dates at least 90 days in advance, after which technical support, updates and maintenance stop.[2] Catalog: End of Life dates are posted at least 90 days ahead.
Liability, law and assignment
- Warranty and liability (s.7.5 and 7.7). Bluebeam warrants that the Software performs substantially as documented. The warranty does not cover trials, betas, free use or AI features. Aggregate liability is capped at the fees paid for the affected Services and Software in the previous 12 months.[1]
- Assignment (s.7.19). The terms are personal to the customer and need Bluebeam’s consent to assign. The exception is a sale of substantially all assets, a merger or a change of control. In that case the customer may assign without consent if the assignee agrees in writing, Bluebeam is notified and overdue fees are paid.[1]
- Publicity (s.7.9). Unless the customer objects in writing, Bluebeam may name it as a customer on its websites.[1]
Contracting entity (s.7.11). The Bluebeam entity on the Order, or the regional website used for the purchase, decides the governing law and the arbitral body.[1] Disputes go to confidential arbitration after 90 days of negotiation (s.7.12).[1]
| Entity | Governing law | Arbitral body |
|---|---|---|
| Bluebeam LLC | California and US federal law | American Arbitration Association, Los Angeles |
| Bluebeam GmbH | Germany | DIS, Munich |
| Bluebeam AB | Sweden | Stockholm Chamber of Commerce |
| Bluebeam Ltd. UK | England | LCIA, London |
| Bluebeam Australia Pty Ltd | Australia | ACICA, Brisbane |
