AI visualization disclaimer

This disclaimer explains what a RenoVision is and, more importantly, what it is not. It forms part of the terms of use and applies to everyone who creates, views, downloads, or is shown a RenoVision.

The one-sentence version

A RenoVision is an AI-generated picture of an idea — not a photograph, not a plan, not a quote, and not a promise.

1. How a RenoVision is made

You supply a photograph of a property and a description of a renovation you are imagining. A generative AI model produces a new image showing roughly what that renovation might look like.

The model is not measuring anything. It has not seen the property, does not know its dimensions, does not know what is behind its walls, does not know its structural system, its wiring, its plumbing, its soil, its zoning, or its local building code. It is producing a plausible image from a photograph and a description. Plausible is the goal; accurate is not something it can promise.

The output is probabilistic. The same photograph and the same description will not produce the same image twice.

2. What it will get wrong

These are ordinary, expected behaviours of image generation, not defects:

• Invented architecture. Walls, windows, doors, beams, and rooflines that do not exist, or that could not exist.
• Changes you did not ask for. Parts of the property you never mentioned may come back altered — a different window, a moved wall, a room that is subtly the wrong shape.
• Impossible construction. Spans that would not stand up, fixtures with no plumbing route, layouts that would fail egress or accessibility requirements.
• Wrong scale and proportion. Rooms, ceilings, islands, and fixtures rendered at sizes the actual space could not hold.
• Materials that are unavailable, unaffordable, or unsuitable for the climate, the structure, or the application.
• Inconsistent light, reflection, and shadow, which can make a space read as larger, brighter, or more open than it is.
• Cosmetic resolution of real problems. The model renders a finished surface. It cannot see damp, rot, settlement, knob-and-tube wiring, asbestos, or a failing foundation, and it will happily paint over all of them.

Assume any given RenoVision contains at least one of these. Treat it as a mood board, not a measurement.

3. What a RenoVision is not

A RenoVision, and any cost or scope information shown with it, is not:

4. About cost and scope information

Where the service shows anything about cost or scope, it is planning guidance: a broad, non-binding indication meant to keep a conversation realistic.

It is not a quote, it is not specific to your property, your contractor, your finish selections, your local labour market, or the condition of what is behind your walls, and no one is bound by it. Actual renovation cost is established by a licensed professional who has physically inspected the property and priced the actual scope. Real projects routinely differ from any general guidance by a wide margin, and the difference is usually upward — because the things that drive cost are the things a photograph cannot show.

Numeric planning ranges are held back by default. An agent can see figures in their own workspace; a homeowner sees them only if the agent deliberately chooses to share them, and a held-back estimate is absent from the shared page rather than hidden behind a control on it. Nothing obliges an agent to share a figure, and nothing here is a number we ask anyone to rely on.

5. Obligations if you show a RenoVision to someone

If you are a real-estate professional using this service with a client, these are yours:

1. Label it. Say clearly that the image is an AI-generated visualization and not a photograph. We mark every generated image with the RenoVisions RV watermark, burned into the file that leaves the service, so that it reads as an AI visualization and not as a photograph wherever it goes. Pages we host also keep a written disclosure. If you download an image and put it somewhere else, the labelling obligation travels with it and becomes yours; the watermark is how that obligation survives. 2. Do not let it be mistaken for a plan or a quote. Say what it is: a starting point for a conversation. 3. Check the rules that apply to you. Real-estate advertising regulations, MLS rules, and brokerage policies increasingly restrict AI-generated or altered imagery in listing media — several prohibit it outright. Those rules are yours to follow, and we do not monitor them for you or take any position on whether a particular use is permitted. 4. Do not make claims the service does not make. Not about value, not about resale, not about return on investment, not about cost, not about how long work would take. 5. Direct real questions to real professionals. Anyone who wants to actually do the work needs a licensed contractor's assessment.

6. If you are a homeowner who received a link

Someone — usually a listing agent — made these images to show you what a renovation *could* look like. They are worth looking at and worth talking about.

They are also, straightforwardly, made up. Nobody has measured your house. Nothing here has been priced by a contractor, checked against your building code, or reviewed by anyone who has stood in the room. Please do not make a decision about buying, selling, borrowing, or renovating based on these pictures. Use them to decide what you like, then bring in someone licensed to tell you what it would actually take.

If you have a question about a specific image, ask the person who sent you the link — they made it and they know what they asked for.

7. Marketing and example imagery

Images on our marketing pages are examples, and they are themselves AI-generated. They carry the same RV watermark, they are labelled as such, and they are not photographs. They should not be read as case studies, results, or claims about outcomes. Where we ever publish a real project, it will be with the permission of the people involved and it will say so.

8. No warranty; decisions are yours

To the fullest extent permitted by law, RenoVisions and any accompanying information are provided as is, with no warranty of accuracy, feasibility, buildability, code compliance, permittability, cost, or fitness for any purpose.

We are not liable for any decision made in reliance on a RenoVision. Sections 9 and 10 of the terms of use apply in full.
