In no event will the Luma.AI Entities and Individuals be liable to you or anyone else for loss or injury, including, without limitation, death or personal injury, arising from your use of the Services. Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you. In such cases, our liability will be limited to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.
12.2. In no event shall the Luma.AI Entities and Individuals' total liability to you for all damages, losses, or causes of action exceed one hundred U.S Dollars ($100).

If you are dissatisfied with any of the Services, your sole and exclusive remedy is to discontinue accessing and using the Services. You recognize and confirm that in the event you incur any damages, losses or injuries that arise out of Luma.AI's acts or omissions, the damages, if any, caused to you are not irreparable or sufficient to entitle you to an injunction preventing any exploitation of any Services or other properties owned or controlled by Luma.AI and you will have no rights to enjoin or restrain the development, production, distribution, advertising, exhibition or exploitation of the Services, your uploaded information on the Services, or any and all activities or actions related thereto.

13. Disclaimer of warranties
13.1. Generated Output may contain visual artifacts, inaccuracies, distortions, inconsistencies, or unexpected results. Luma.AI does not guarantee technical precision, factual accuracy, or aesthetic quality of any video output.

Luma.AI does not claim or guarantee that the Services shall be uninterrupted, or that Services shall be error free. We may change and update the Services without notice to you. Some jurisdictions limit or do not allow the disclaimer of implied or other warranties so the above disclaimer may not apply to the extent such jurisdiction's law is applicable to this agreement.

17. Agreement to arbitrate/class action waiver
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY – IT MAY SIGNIFICANTLY AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT.
17.1. You agree that any claim or dispute at law or equity that has arisen or may arise between you and Luma.AI relating in any way to or arising out of these Terms or your use of, or access to the Services, will be resolved in accordance with the provisions set forth in this section 17. Please read this section carefully. It affects your rights and will have a substantial impact on how claims you may have against each other are resolved.
17.2. You and Luma.AI will attempt to resolve any dispute through informal negotiation within sixty (60) days from the date the notice of dispute is sent. That notice should contain proof of your relationship with Luma.AI, the nature and legal basis for your or Luma.AI’s dispute, and an individual monetary demand if you or we are seeking such relief. During this period, the parties shall use best efforts to settle any dispute, claim or disagreement. Following the Notice, the informal negotiation process will consist of conferring in writing – or, if requested by either party, via teleconference or videoconference – in a good faith effort to informally resolve the Dispute. If either party is represented by counsel, that counsel may participate. All offers, promises, conduct, and statements made in the course of the informal negotiation process by any party are confidential and not admissible for any purpose in any subsequent proceeding, provided that evidence that is otherwise admissible or discoverable shall not be rendered inadmissible or non-discoverable as a result of its use in the informal negotiation process. Any applicable limitations period will be tolled during this 60-day informal dispute resolution period. Filing any claims before the end of this period and without engaging in this process could result in the award of fees in arbitration.
17.3. If the dispute is not resolved within such time period, you agree that any and all disputes or claims that have arisen or may arise between you and Luma.AI relating in any way to or arising out of these Terms or your use of or access to the Services shall be resolved exclusively through final and binding arbitration. If you reside in the US, the Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this agreement to arbitrate. If you reside in Israel, the Israeli Commercial Arbitration Law, 5784-2024, as amended, or, if the International Arbitration Law is deemed inapplicable, for any reason, the Israeli Arbitration Law, 5728-1968 shall govern the interpretation and enforcement of this agreement to arbitrate. If you reside elsewhere, the UK Arbitration Act of 1996 shall govern the interpretation and enforcement of this agreement to arbitrate.
17.4. In all events, each party hereby knowingly, voluntary and intentionally, waives (to the extent permitted by applicable law) any right it may have to a trial by jury of any dispute arising under or relating to these Terms or your use of or access to the Services. The parties further agree that, if and to the extent this agreement to arbitration does not apply to any claim, that claim will be tried before a judge sitting without a jury.
17.5. You agree that each of us may bring claims against the other only on an individual basis and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, representative, or private attorney general action or proceeding. Unless Luma.AI agrees in a separate writing, the arbitrator may not consolidate or join more than one person’s or party’s claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of a consolidated, representative, class, or private attorney general action or proceeding. The arbitrator may award relief (including monetary, injunctive, and declaratory relief) only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief necessitated by that party’s individual claim(s). Any relief awarded cannot affect other Luma.AI users. If a court decides that applicable law precludes enforcement of any of this paragraph’s prohibitions on class, representative, or private attorney general actions or proceedings as to any claim, then that claim (and only that claim) must be severed from the arbitration and resolved in court, subject to your and Luma.AI’s right to appeal the court’s decision. All other claims will be arbitrated.
17.6. The arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute arising out of or relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of this agreement to arbitrate, any part of it, or of the Terms including, but not limited to, any claim that all or any part of this agreement to arbitrate or the Terms is void or voidable, whether a claim is subject to arbitration, and any dispute regarding the payment of administrative or arbitrator fees (including the timing of such payments and remedies for nonpayment). The arbitrator shall be empowered to grant whatever relief would be available in a court under law or in equity. The parties agree that the arbitrator may allow the filing of dispositive motions if they are likely to efficiently resolve or narrow issues in dispute.
17.7. If you reside in the US, the arbitration will be conducted by the National Arbitration and Mediation (“NAM”) (under their rules and procedures as applicable, including the commercial arbitration rules, as modified by this agreement). Otherwise, the arbitration will be conducted by the Israeli Institute of Commercial Arbitration except as they may be modified herein.
17.8. The parties agree that NAM has discretion to modify the amount or timing of any administrative or arbitration fees due under NAM’s rules where it deems appropriate, including by setting reduced fees for consolidated cases, provided that such modification does not increase the costs to you, and you waive any objection to such fee modification. The parties also agree that a good-faith challenge by either party to the fees imposed by NAM does not constitute a default, waiver, or breach of this Section while such challenge remains pending before NAM, the arbitrator, or a court of competent jurisdiction. The arbitration may also impose sanctions in accordance with NAM rules for any claims the arbitration determined to be frivolous or improper and to apply the standards set fort in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11.
17.9. The arbitration shall be held in New York City for U.S. residents, Tel Aviv, Israel, for Israeli residents, London, England, for all other users, or at another mutually agreed upon location. For the avoidance of doubt, the availability of a more convenient forum for arbitration proceedings shall have no effect on the governing law and venue specified in Section 19 regarding litigation. If the value of the relief sought is $10,000 or less, either you or Luma.AI may elect to have the arbitration conducted by telephone or based solely on written submissions, which election shall be binding on you and Luma.AI, subject to the arbitrator’s discretion to require an in-person hearing. The arbitrator’s award shall be final and binding, and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.
17.10. To the extent the filing fee charged to any individual claimant for arbitration exceeds the cost of filing an individual lawsuit, the arbitrator may require Luma.AI to pay the additional cost. You are responsible for your own attorneys’ fees unless the arbitration rules or applicable law provide otherwise. If the arbitrator finds the arbitration to be non-frivolous, Luma.AI will pay the remaining filing and arbitrator fees for the arbitration, provided your claim or the consolidated claims (as applicable) do not exceed $75,000. For claims above $75,000 or consolidated claims, fees and costs will be determined in accordance with applicable arbitration rules and the arbitrator’s decision.
17.11. The parties understand that, absent this mandatory provision, they would have the right to sue in court and have a jury trial. They further understand that, in some instances, the costs of arbitration could exceed the costs of litigation and the right to discovery may be more limited in arbitration than in court.
17.12. To the extent permitted by applicable law, any claim or dispute under these Terms and related to your access or use of the Services must be filed within one (1) year from the date of the cause of action. If a claim or dispute is not filed within one year, you acknowledge that you shall have waived and will be deemed permanently barred from bringing such dispute.
17.13. If there is a final judicial determination that applicable law precludes enforcement of this Section’s limitations as to a particular remedy, then that remedy (and only that remedy) must be severed from the arbitration and may be sought in court. The parties agree, however, that any adjudication of remedies not subject to arbitration shall be stayed pending the outcome of any arbitrable claims and remedies.
17.14. With the exception of any of the provisions in the class action waiver, if an arbitrator or court decides that any part of this agreement to arbitrate is invalid or unenforceable, the other parts of this agreement to arbitrate shall still apply.
17.15. Exception – Litigation of Intellectual Property and Small Claims Court Claims: Notwithstanding the parties’ decision to resolve all disputes through arbitration, either party may bring an action in state or federal court to protect its intellectual property rights (“intellectual property rights” means patents, copyrights, moral rights, trademarks, and trade secrets, but not privacy or publicity rights). Either party may also elect to have disputes or claims resolved in a small claims court that are within the scope of that court’s jurisdiction. Either party may also seek a declaratory judgment or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction regarding whether a party’s claims are time-barred or may be brought in small claims court in your state and county of residence. Seeking such relief shall not waive a party’s right to arbitration under this agreement.
17.16. 30-Day Right to Opt Out: You have the right to opt-out and not be bound by the arbitration clause by sending written notice of your decision to opt-out to the following address: admin+support@luma.ai. The notice must be sent within 30 days of your first use of the Services, or the issuance of a materially changed clause, whichever is later, otherwise you shall be bound to arbitrate disputes in accordance with the terms of those paragraphs. If you opt-out of a new clause, the prior clause will continue to govern any disputes between you and Luma.AI. If you opt-out of arbitration, Luma.AI also will not be bound to arbitrate. You agree that, if at some point in the future Luma.AI removes this Section 17 entirely, restoring the right to proceed in court, no opt out from that change would be required.
17.17. Changes to this Section: Luma.AI will provide 30 days’ notice of any material changes affecting the substance of this Section 17. Changes will become effective on the 30th day. If you continue to use the Services after the 30th day, you agree that any unfiled claims are subject to the revised clause.
