1Where the terms differ

Topview's terms cover visibility, where Luma's terms read are silent. On rights warranties, Luma reads “you warrant you hold the rights” and Topview reads “you are responsible for your content”. On licences, Luma reads “broad, including improvement” and Topview reads “limited and non-transferable”. On training use, Luma reads “used during paid use” and Topview reads “used unless you opt out”. On infringement handling, Luma reads “a notice-and-takedown route” and Topview reads “infringing uploads prohibited”. On deletion, Luma reads “kept only within plan or storage limits” and Topview reads “kept for a set period, then deleted”.

Which set suits a project depends on the book: an out-of-copyright classic asks different questions from an unpublished manuscript.
