      本協議將受紐約法律管轄，不涉及任何適用法律、條例、規定的衝突條款。本協議不受《聯合國國際銷售貨物合同公約》的管轄，其適用被明確排除。

      Any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or the breach thereof, shall be settled by arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") under its Commercial Arbitration Rules (if you are a legal entity or a sole proprietor) or Consumer Arbitration Rules (if you are an individual), and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The arbitration shall be conducted in the State of New York, New York County, in English.

      To begin an arbitration proceeding, you must send a letter requesting arbitration and describing your claim to the following address: [email protected]

      Within fifteen (15) days after the commencement of arbitration, the parties shall either agree on a single arbitrator, or if they cannot so agree, then each party shall select one (1) person to act as arbitrator and the two (2) selected shall select a third arbitrator within ten (10) days of their appointment. If the arbitrators selected by the parties are unable or fail to agree upon the third arbitrator, the third arbitrator shall be selected by the AAA.

      Consistent with the expedited nature of arbitration, each party will, upon the written request of the other party, promptly provide the other with copies of documents relevant to the issues raised by any claim or counterclaim. Any dispute regarding discovery, or the relevance or scope thereof, shall be determined by the chair of the arbitration panel, which determination shall be conclusive.

      The arbitrators shall not award consequential or punitive damages in any arbitration initiated under this section. Except as may be required by law, neither a party nor an arbitrator may disclose the existence, content, or results of any arbitration hereunder without the prior written consent of both parties.

      TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ALL CLAIMS AND DISPUTES WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT MUST BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON A CLASS BASIS, AND CLAIMS OF MORE THAN ONE WEBSITE CONTRIBUTOR OR USER CANNOT BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED JOINTLY OR CONSOLIDATED WITH THOSE OF ANY OTHER WEBSITE CONTRIBUTOR OR USER.

      The prevailing party in any litigation or arbitration proceeding brought in connection with this Agreement shall be entitled to recover from the other party all the reasonable costs, attorneys’ fees and other expenses incurred in the litigation or arbitration.

      Notwithstanding the above arbitration provision, you agree that in our discretion, we may bring suit in any court having jurisdiction over you, to enjoin infringement or other misuse of our intellectual property or to enforce our proprietary rights. You hereby agree that we would be irreparably damaged if this Agreement was not specifically enforced, and therefore you agree that Skylum shall be entitled, without bond, other security, or proof of damages, to appropriate equitable remedies with respect to breaches of this Agreement involving intellectual property or other proprietary rights, in addition to such other remedies as we may otherwise have available to us.

      To the extent arbitration does not apply, you agree that any dispute arising out of or relating to the Websites, Products, or to us, may only be brought by you in a state or federal court located in the State of New York County of New York. YOU HEREBY WAIVE ANY OBJECTION TO THIS VENUE AS INCONVENIENT OR INAPPROPRIATE AND AGREE TO EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION AND VENUE IN NEW YORK COUNTY.

      When you use Luminar Neo Generative AI features, you may be asked to input or upload content, such as an image or text (including any output parameters, such as aspect ratio, style, etc.) (collectively, "Input"). The Input will be used by the Software to generate an output, such as an image, text, text effects, or vector graphic file, which will be provided within the Software ("Output").

      The Input and Output, as well as your use of Luminar Neo Generative AI features must be used in accordance with this Agreement and Luminar Neo Generative AI Guidelines available at https://skylum.com/ai-guidelines-policy (the "Guidelines"), which are incorporated in this Agreement by reference and may be modified from time to time, with modifications becoming effective immediately upon publication of the updated version.

      • contains personal data of identified or identifiable individual, unless you complied with all data protection laws requirements, including obtaining the individuals consent, where necessary;
      • violates applicable law.

      We may automatically block your Input, in our sole discretion, if we believe it violates the rights of a third party, applicable law, or this Agreement, including the Guidelines.

      You are fully and solely responsible for the creation and use of the Output and for ensuring that such use complies with the Agreement, including the Guidelines, and the applicable law.

      We may use available technologies, vendors, or processes to (i) screen for and block Output that may violate applicable law, the rights of a third party, or this Agreement, including the Guidelines, and/or (ii) add watermarks or metadata to the Output indicating the generative AI features applied to the Output, before the Output is delivered to you.

      Use of Luminar Neo Generative AI features may produce Output that is unexpected or unsuitable for some users. The Output may not be unique and other users of generative AI features may generate the same or similar Output.

   5. Intellectual Property Rights

      We do not claim any intellectual property rights to the Input or the Output. As between you and us, you own the intellectual property rights to the Input and the Output.
