1) Definitions

“Platform” means the Lux et Ars website and services. “Artwork” means images or media listed or sold. “AAML” means the AI Artwork Master License. “AI Art Data License” means a usage-rights license for pure AI images with no substantial human input. “Certificate” means the digitally signed document issued per sale.

2) Eligibility & Use

You must be at least 18 or have parental consent and the legal capacity to agree. By accessing or using the Platform you accept these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Platform.

3) Intellectual Property & Licensing

  • Your warranties. You warrant you own or hold all rights necessary for anything you upload and that it doesn’t infringe privacy, publicity, trademark, or other rights.
  • Platform license to host & promote. You grant Lux et Ars a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, display, and promote your listings and related previews for operating and marketing the Platform.
  • AAML (exclusive). For works with substantial human creative input and documented process, AAML may grant broad commercial rights to the buyer. Each image is sold once; resale is only via the Platform’s transfer flow and previous holder’s rights end upon transfer. See FAQ.
  • AI Art Data License (pure AI). If no substantial human input exists, no copyright arises; buyers receive usage rights only (no resale/sublicensing). See FAQ.
  • No blanket copyright assignment. Unless expressly stated in a listing or separate agreement, transactions grant license rights per the stated model (AAML or AI Art Data License); they do not transfer any underlying copyright.
  • Transfer & provenance. Licenses can be transferred only via the Platform so provenance and certificates update correctly. External transfers are not supported.

4) Sales, Auctions & Bids

  • Placing a bid or clicking Buy Now creates a binding obligation under the listing terms.
  • Payments must be completed within the stated time. We may cancel or suspend transactions suspected of fraud or rule violations.
  • Listing accuracy is the seller’s responsibility. Bid retractions may be unavailable.

5) Certificates & Verification

Each sale issues a digitally signed Certificate containing license ID and owner/edition data. Verify authenticity via /verify-certificate. The Certificate is part of provenance and must accompany any transfer.

6) Fees, Commission & Taxes

  • Platform commission and limits are described on Commission and Account Tiers.
  • Where applicable, value-added tax is applied (e.g., 19% VAT in Germany for eligible transactions). Final amounts are shown at checkout or on invoices.
  • Users are responsible for any additional taxes, duties, or reporting obligations in their jurisdiction.

7) Upload Rules & Moderation

  • No unlawful content, harassment, or violations of privacy, publicity, or IP rights.
  • No use of protected logos/marks without permission; no deceptive portrayals of persons.
  • Keep a clear process record (prompts, edits, intermediates) for AAML listings to support authorship claims.
  • We may remove content, pause sales, or limit accounts for policy violations or legal requests.

See also Platform Rules and FAQ.

8) Prints, Bundles & Shipping

  • Premium giclée prints may be offered; bundles combine digital file, print, and Certificate.
  • Printing and shipping costs are paid by the buyer; tracking/invoices are provided.
  • Damage claims require prompt notice and photos of item and packaging.

9) Accounts, Tiers & Termination

  • Compare features/limits on Account Tiers. You may upgrade or cancel renewal there; benefits continue until term end.
  • You’re responsible for safeguarding login credentials and account activity.
  • You can initiate self-deletion from settings (subject to legal retention duties). We may suspend or terminate access for violations.

10) Privacy & KYC/AML

  • We process personal data per our Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy.
  • For higher-value purchases or payouts we may request identity verification to comply with KYC/AML obligations.
  • Do not include sensitive personal data in prompts or listing metadata.

11) Disclaimers & Limitation of Liability

AS IS. The Platform is provided “as is” and “as available” without warranties of any kind.

To the extent permitted by law, Lux et Ars is not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages. Total liability is limited to the greater of €100 or the fees you paid to Lux et Ars for the Services in the three months preceding the claim.

This section does not limit liability that cannot be excluded under applicable law.

12) Changes to Services & Terms

We may update Services and Terms. Material changes will be announced in-product or by notice. Continued use after changes means you accept the updated Terms.

EU consumers: for digital content not supplied on a tangible medium, the statutory right of withdrawal may be waived once delivery/performance starts with your express consent.

13) Governing Law & Venue

These Terms are governed by the laws of Germany. Mandatory consumer protection rules of your country of residence remain unaffected. Courts of Berlin, Germany, shall have jurisdiction, unless mandatory law provides otherwise.
