Luma, terms of service
- Scope limitationsStorage and retention limits it may set, with no liability for deleting inputs or outputs
1What “kept only within plan or storage limits” means here
Storage limits cut both ways: the tool may remove content once a plan's limit is reached, and does not promise to keep it longer. A copy of the manuscript belongs somewhere else.
2Other tools with this reading
OpenArt and Pika have the same reading, which makes 3 of the 24 tools.
This is how the clause reads on its face; how a court would read it is a separate matter.
3Why it matters for a book
Deletion and licence are separate. Removing a project may end the copy the tool keeps for you without ending the licence already granted, and copies others made of public work stay where they are.
