Lux Optics TM TERMS OF USE
These are our Terms and Conditions. First off, thanks for reading this — we
realize most people don’t, and you probably care, so we have made these as
easy to read as we can. That being said, if you have any questions or concerns,
please ask us: you can email us at support@halide.cam and we’ll read and
reply to every email personally. We’re just a small team of three people,
so we really appreciate any feedback we get.
OK, now, to the legal stuff:
Lux Optics Ltd. offers mobile software applications (each, an "App") and web
services (each, a "Web Service"), allowing you to create, edit, and perfect
pho- tos, create images, edit videos and share your creations through social
media and email, or enjoy our how-to guides.
This Terms of Use (the "Agreement") is a contract you are entering into with
Lux Optics – so you should read through all of it. Lux Optics can also make
changes to this Agreement – see more details about that in Section 11.211.2
(Agreement Modifications by Lux Optics) below. If you are entering into this
Agreement on behalf of an entity (such as your employer), you represent that
you have full authority to bind such entity to this Agreement, and in such
cases references to "you" and "your" shall mean that entity.
ARBITRATION NOTICE: THIS AGREEMENT CONTAINS A MANDATORY ARBITRATION AGREEMENT.
PLEASE READ THAT SCHEDULE CAREFUL- LY, SINCE IT MAY REQUIRE YOU AND Lux Optics
TO ARBITRATE CERTAIN DISPUTES AND LIMIT THE MANNER IN WHICH BOTH PARTIES CAN
SEEK RELIEF. THERE IS, HOWEVER, AN OPTION TO OPT-OUT.
As used herein: (a) "Services" means the Apps and Web Services collectively
and/or individually (as the case may be), as well as any related intellectual
prop- erty (such as Service Content and Features); (b) "Content" means any text, data,
information, files, images, graphics, sounds, music, videos, code, audio clips,
links, and/or other similar materials; and (c) "Service Content" means any Con-
tent (excluding your Account Content) appearing or made available on or in the
Services. For the avoidance of doubt, Stock Content is an example of Service Content.
1. Lux Optics SERVICES AND CONTENT
• 1.1. Your Rights. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, you
are given a personal license and right to access and use the applicable Services
(and in the case of an App, to also install the App on your de- vice)
(collectively, the "Subscription"). This Subscription is non- exclu- sive, non-transferable,
and non-sublicensable, and the Subscription only lasts while this Agreement
remains in effect. As used herein, a "Paid Sub- scription" means a Subscription
to any fee-based portions of the Services.
• 1.2. Additional Rules about Content. Your use of Service Content is also
subject to the Content Rules and Policy specified in Schedule A below (the
"Content Rules and Policy").
• 1.3. Prohibited Uses. As a condition to your Subscription, you agree not to
engage in (or encourage or permit others to engage in) any of the Pro- hibited
Uses specified in Schedule B attached below (the "Prohibited Uses").
• 1.4. Restricted Access. The Services are delivered electronically, and shall
be deemed accepted by you upon delivery. Some modules, tools, features, or other
functionality (collectively, "Features") may only be available to Paid Subscriptions.
Paid Subscriptions themselves shall also be subject to whatever limitations may
be specified in the corresponding Paid Subscription plan or package (such as
limitation on the number of authorized users, usage volume or duration).
• 1.5. Changes to the Services. Lux Optics reserves the right, from time to
time and in its discretion, and without prior notice, to: (a) change any Fea-
tures and/or other aspects (such as the design, layout, or availability) of
the Services; (b) deactivate any Features, including without limitation de-
activating any free Features and offering them only as part of a Paid Sub-
scription (and vice versa); and (c) stop supporting (or limit compatibility with)
certain devices and operating systems, in which case your access to the
Services on such devices or operating systems may be impaired. Where required
by applicable law, we will notify you in advance (either via email, via
your Account, and/or within the Services) in the event we decide to shut
down or discontinue any App, Web Service, and/or the Ser- vices as a whole.
• 1.6. Reservation of Rights. For the avoidance of doubt, the Services are
only licensed to you, and no title in them passes to you. Any rights not expressly
granted herein are hereby reserved by Lux Optics and its licen- sors, and you
are granted no other right or license in the Services, whether by implied
license, estoppel, exhaustion, operation of law, or otherwise.
2. YOUR ACCOUNT AND YOUR CONTENT
In order to access the Services, you may be required to register for an account
by submitting the information requested in the applicable web form or interface
("Account"). You alone are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality and
security of your Account (and user sub-accounts) and credentials, as well as for
all activities that occur in such Account. Information collected by us in creating
your Account will be used and processed in accordance with our Privacy Policy
(available at http://halide.cam/privacy), which is incorporated into this Agree-
ment by reference.
You are responsible for all of your Account Content, and you agree to the Con- tent
Rules and Policy regarding Account Content. "Account Content" shall mean Content
inputted, uploaded, shared, posted, published, or otherwise gener- ated by you in
relation to your use of the Services.
3. PAYMENT
• 3.1. Fees. Certain Services and Features are only offered under a Paid Subscription,
and certain Service Content is only offered for payment. You agree to pay whatever
fees and other charges are presented to you when you subscribe to a Paid
Subscription or paid Service Content (col- lectively, the "Fees"). If the
payment plan is on a recurring-subscription basis, you agree to pay the Fees
in accordance with the applicable billing cycle ("Billing Cycle"). If you
downloaded the App from the Apple Store, refunds are permissible in accordance
with their refund policy; otherwise refunds are permissible in accordance with
the refund policies that Lux Optics publishes. Except as stated in those policies,
all Fees are non-re- fundable and non-cancellable. Moreover, amounts payable
are exclusive of all applicable sales, use, consumption, VAT and other taxes,
except for taxes based upon Lux Optics' net income.
• 3.2. Payment Methods and Processing. Payments may be processed via the relevant
App Marketplace, as well as any other third-party payment methods which we make
available (such as via PayPal and certain sup- ported payment cards). You must
provide accurate billing information, and promptly update any changes to it
(such as card numbers and expiry dates). If you are paying via credit or debit
card, you represent that you are the authorized user of the card, and you
authorize Lux Optics (and any third party payment processor) to collect payment
from you, on a recur- ring basis (if applicable), and to take all other
necessary billing actions. If payment is made via a third-party payment
processor, you will also be subject to its terms and conditions (over which
we have no control) – so carefully read those terms.
4. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
4.1. Services. All rights, title and interest (including without limitation all
Intel- lectual Property Rights) in and to the Services is and shall remain
exclusively owned by Lux Optics and/or its licensors. If you provide us with any sug-
gestions or other feedback about the Services ("Feedback"), you agree that we
may use such Feedback at our discretion, and without any restriction (e.g., for
research and development purposes, for commercial purposes etc.) or obligation
to you.
• 4.2. Lux Optics Brands. The trademarks and branding (collectively, "Trademarks")
displayed in the Services, as well as their associated goodwill, are and shall
remain exclusively owned by Lux Optics and/or its licensors (the "Service Trademarks").
Some of those Service Trade- marks may also be registered by their respective
owners. You may not use or register any Trademark that is confusingly similar
to any Service Trademarks, and you must refrain from any action that
may dilute, tarnish, or damage Service Trademarks or their associated goodwill.
• 4.3. DMCA Copyright Policy. It is Lux Optics' policy to respect the rights of
copyright owners, and we will respond to notices of copyright in- fringement in
accordance with our DMCA Copyright Policy
set forth in Schedule D below.
• 4.4. Definition of Intellectual Property Rights. "Intellectual Property Rights"
shall mean any rights,
titles, and interests (under any jurisdiction, whether protectable or not, and
whether registered or unregistered) in and to any inventions, discov- eries, works
of authorship, domain names, software, algorithms, designs, databases, data, know-
how, technology, and/or other intellectual property, and includes without limitation

no control over, assumes no liability for any loss, damage or harm arising from:
(a) the privacy policies or other practices of such third parties; or (b) the

of laws rules. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International

In the event of any claim, dispute or controversy in connection with this Agree-
ment (a "Dispute"), such Dispute shall be resolved exclusively by arbitration in
accordance with Schedule C (Mandatory Arbitration) below.
However, if the Dispute is not subject to arbitration (either because you opted-
out of the arbitration in the manner described in Schedule C, or because a court
of competent jurisdiction determined that the agreement to arbitrate does not
to apply to you or the Dispute) then the Dispute shall be subject to the
exclusive jurisdiction and venue of:
10.1. 10.2.
If you are a resident of the United States: the competent courts located in
New York County, New York, and both you and Lux Optics hereby irrevocably sub-
mit to the personal jurisdiction of such courts and waive any jurisdictional, im-
proper venue, inconvenient forum, or other objections to such jurisdiction and venue; or
If you are not a resident of the United States: the competent courts located in Tel Aviv-
Jaffa, Israel, and both you and Lux Optics hereby irrevocably submit to the personal
jurisdiction of such courts and waive any jurisdictional, improper venue, inconvenient
forum, or other objections to such jurisdiction and venue.
Regardless of any law to the contrary, any claim you may have arising under, or
otherwise in connection with, this Agreement must be filed within ONE (1) YEAR
after such claim arose, or else you agree that such claim will be barred forever.
If you are a consumer (as defined in the law of your jurisdiction), this Agree-
ment is not intended to, and shall not, exclude or limit any mandatory rights
you may have under the consumer laws of your jurisdiction.

GENERAL LEGAL TERMS
Entire Agreement. This Agreement (together with its Schedules) represents the
entire agreement between Lux Optics and you with respect to the subject matter
hereof, and supersedes and replaces any and all prior and contemporaneous
oral and/or written agreements and understandings between you and Lux Optics
with respect to such subject matter. You confirm that in entering into this
Agreement you have not relied on any statement or representation not expressly
set out in this Agreement, such as statements and explanations in any FAQs
or other mar- keting material on the Lux Optics website. The section
headings in this Agree- ment are for convenience only and may not be used
for interpretive purposes.
Agreement Modifications by Lux Optics. Lux Optics reserves the right,
from time to time and
11.3.
11.4. 11.5. 11.6.
in its discretion, to make changes to this Agreement (each, "Agreement Modifi-
cations"). The modified Agreement will either be posted online (https://halide.cam/terms),
within the Services, and/or notified to you via email or your Account. (In any case,
we encourage you to regularly check the latest version of the Agreement, which
can always be found here: https://halide.cam/terms). The effective date of the
Agreement Modifications will be ten (10) days after posting the modified Agreement
or notifying you of it, as described above, unless a different date is specified.
If you do not agree to the Agreement Modifications, your sole remedy, and our
sole obligation and liability, is for you to terminate this Agreement. Otherwise,
your continued access or use of the Services shall constitute your ac-
ceptance of the modified Agreement.
Age Representation. You represent that you are of legal age in your jurisdiction
to form a binding contract, but in any event at least thirteen (13) years old. Chil-
dren under the age of thirteen (13) are not permitted to use any of the Services.
If you are between thirteen (13) and eighteen (18) years old, you must review this
Agreement with your parent or guardian, have him/her accept it on your be- half,
as well as approve your use of the Services.
Language; Electronic Contract. The language of this Agreement is the English
language only. You hereby irrevocably waive any law applicable to you requir- ing
that the Agreement be localized to meet your language (as well as any other
localization requirements), or requiring an original (non-electronic) signature or
delivery or retention of non-electronic records.
App Download from App Marketplace. If you are downloading the App from a third
party app-distribution platform or marketplace, such as Apple's App Store, Google's
Google Play, or the Amazon Appstore for Android (each, an "App Marketplace"),
please be aware that the App Marketplace may have additional rules which also
govern your use of the App.
Assignment. Lux Optics may assign this Agreement (or any of its rights and/or
obligations hereunder) without your consent, without notice, and without any
other restriction. Lux Optics may, from time to time and at its discretion, sub-
contract performance of its obligations under this Agreement (for example, host-
ing and processing of Web Services may be done by third party cloud service providers).
This Agreement is personal to you, and you may not assign or trans- fer this
Agreement (or any of your obligations or rights hereunder) without Lux Optics'
express prior written and signed consent. Any
prohibited assignment shall be null and void. Subject to the foregoing, this
Agreement shall bind and benefit each party and its respective
successors and assigns (for example, the Moral Rights waiver and the Account
Content License also benefit Lux Optics' successors
and assigns). At Lux Optics' discretion, any Lux Optics obligation hereunder
may be performed, and any Lux Optics right or remedy
may be exer- cised, by a subsidiary and/or affiliate of Lux Optics (each, an
"Affiliate").
Severability. If any provision of this Agreement (for example, the provisions of
Section 10
(Governing Law; Dispute Resolution) or Schedule C (Mandatory Arbitration)) is
held by a court to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable,
then: (a) the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force
and effect; and (b) you and Lux Optics agree that
the court making such determination shall have the power to change the provision
to make it legal, valid and enforceable and that most
closely approximates the original intent and economic impact of such provision,
and this Agreement shall be enforceable as so modified
in re- spect of such jurisdiction. In the event such court does not exercise the
power granted to it as aforesaid, then such provision
will be ineffective solely as to such jurisdiction, and will be substituted with
a valid, legal and enforceable pro- vision that
most closely approximates the original intent and economic impact of such provision.
Remedies. Except as may be expressly stated otherwise in this Agreement, no right
or remedy of a party under this Agreement shall be exclusive of any other right or
remedy under this Agreement, at law or in equity.

11.8.
11.9.
Waiver. No failure or delay on the part of any party in exercising any right or remedy
under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single exercise
of any such right or remedy preclude any other or further exer- cise thereof or the
exercise of any other right or remedy. Any waiver granted hereunder must be in writing
(for waivers by you, emails will be acceptable; for waivers by Lux Optics, the
writing must be signed by an authorized representa- tive of Lux Optics), and shall be
valid only in the specific instance in which giv- en.

11.10. Relationship of the Parties; Third Party Beneficiaries. No agency, part- nership,
joint venture or employment relationship is intended or created by this Agreement, and
the relationship of the parties is solely that of independent con- tractors. Except as
provided otherwise in this Agreement (for example, as re- gards rights of Lux Optics'
Affiliates and Stock Content Licensors) neither party intends that any third party will
be a beneficiary of or entitled to rely on any part of this Agreement.
11.11. Notices. You agree that Lux Optics may send you notices by email, as well as

by Lux Optics, and is submitted to the Services at your sole risk. With-
out derogating from the generality of the above, you agree that you will

Services for submitting Content which is in violation of this Agreement,
without prior notice and at Lux Optics' discretion.

SCHEDULE C Mandatory Arbitration
Lux Optics wants to address your concerns without the need for a formal legal d
ispute. Before filing a claim against Lux Optics, you agree to try to resolve t
he Dispute informally by contacting support@lux.camera. If a Dispute is not res
olved within 30 days after the email noting the Dispute is sent, you may initia
te proceedings, as set forth in this Schedule C. You and Lux Optics agree to re
solve any Dispute only by FINAL AND BINDING BILATERAL ARBITRATION in accordance
with the below; except, however, that:
(a) each party retains the right to bring an individual action: (i) in a small
claims court
located in your county of residence (or in New York County, New York if you me
et the requirements of such court), if you are a resident of the United States,
(ii) through a small claims process in the courts of London, England or Dublin,
Ireland, if you are a resident of the European Economic Area (EEA), or (iii) i
n the small claims court in Tel Aviv-Jaffa, Israel, if you are neither a resid
ent of the United States nor the EEA; (b) each party retains the right to seek
equitable relief to protect any Intellectual
Property Rights, in any court of competent jurisdiction; and
(c) nothing herein precludes you from bringing issues to the attention of feder
al, state,
or local agencies.
Capitalized terms not defined in this Schedule shall have the meanings given to
them in the main
body of the Agreement to which this Schedule is attached.
If you are a resident of the United States: Unless you and Lux Optics expressly
agree otherwise in writing, the arbitration shall take place in-person (except
that if telephonic or other remote
electronic means are available and permissible, then you may elect to conduct th
e arbitration via such means) in New York City, New York. The arbitration will b
e administered by Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services, Inc. (“JAMS”), b
efore a single arbitrator and in the English language, in accordance with the JAMS
Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures (“JAMS Str
eam- lined Rules”), as modified by this Agreement. The arbitrator must honor the
terms and conditions of this Agreement (including, but not limited to, all liab
ili- ty exclusions and limitations), and shall not make any award or decision t
hat is contrary to, or in excess of, what this Agreement
provides. The Federal Arbitra- tion Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1, et seq. (“FAA”) (and no
t any state law concerning arbi- tration) applies to this agreement to arbitr
ate, and governs all questions of
whether a Dispute is subject to arbitration.
If you are not a resident of the United States: Unless you and Lux Optics ex- pr
essly agree otherwise
in writing, the arbitration shall take place in-person in Tel Aviv-Jaffa, Israel
, except that if telephonic or other remote electronic means are available and p
ermissible, then you may elect to conduct the arbitration via such means. The arb
itration will be administered by the Center of Arbitration and Dispute Reso- luti
on (www.israelcourts.co.il) ("CADR"), before a single arbitrator and in the Engli
sh language, in accordance with its then-current rules and in accordance with the
Israeli Arbitration Law, 5728-1968, as amended, and as modified by this Agreemen
t. The arbitrator
must honor the terms and conditions of this Agreement (including, but not limit-
ed to, all liability exclusions and limitations), and shall not make any award or
decision that is contrary to, or in
excess of, what this Agreement provides.

ings and conclusions upon which the award is based. Judgment on the arbitra- tion
award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. In the event any l
itigation should arise between you and Lux Optics in any court in a pro- ceeding
to vacate or enforce an arbitration award, YOU AND Lux Optics HEREBY IRREVOCABLY
WAIVE ALL RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL, instead electing that the proceeding be resolve
d by a judge. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in
favor of the plaintiff/claimant and only to the extent necessary to provide relief
warranted by the
plaintiff's/claimant’s individual claim.
Regardless of who initiates arbitration for a Dispute, you will always remain re-
sponsible for your costs relating to counsel, experts, witnesses, and travel to
the arbitration. Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will
be gov- erned by the JAMS or CADR rules (as applicable). If you are an individua
l and have not accessed or used the Services on behalf of an entity, we will rei
mburse those fees for claims where the amount in dispute is less than $10,000 (u
nless the arbitrator determines the claims are frivolous), and we will not seek
attor- neys’ fees and costs in arbitration (unless the arbitrator determines the
claims are frivolous). If Lux Optics initiates an arbitration for a Dispute, Lux
Optics will pay all administrative fees and costs related to the
arbitration, including all professional fees for the arbitrator’s services.
All aspects of the arbitration proceeding, including but not limited to the deci-
sion and award of the arbitrator and compliance therewith, shall be strictly con
- fidential. The parties agree to maintain its confidentiality, unless (and in su
ch cases, only to the extent) otherwise required by applicable law. This paragrap
h shall not prevent a party from submitting to a court any information
necessary to enforce an arbitration award, or to seek equitable relief.
YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT, EVEN IF ANYTHING IN THE JAMS STREAMLINED RULES
(OR OTHER JAMS OR CADR RULES, AS APPLICABLE) PERMIT OTHERWISE:
(A) YOU AND Lux Optics ARE HEREBY EACH IRREVOCABLY WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A
TRIAL BY JURY, AS WELL AS THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE (FOR EX- AMPLE, AS A CLASS REPRE
SENTATIVE OR CLASS MEMBER) IN A CLASS ACTION, CLASS ARBITRATION, OR OTHER CLASS-WIDE
OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR PROCEEDING, AND THAT YOU
MAY ONLY BRING A CLAIM IN YOUR INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY; AND
(B) NO ARBITRATION WILL BE JOINED TO ANY OTHER ARBITRA- TION, AND THE
ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE ANY INDIVIDUAL PARTY’S DISPUTE WITH ANY
OTHER PARTY’S DISPUTE.
OPT-OUT: You can choose to reject this agreement to arbitrate (“Opt-out”) by emailing
support@lux.camera within thirty (30) days after the date you agree to this Agreement
for the first time. The Opt-out email you send to us must state that you do not
agree to this agreement to arbitrate and must include your name, address, phone
number, and email address. Providing an Opt-out no-
tice is the only way you can opt-out of this agreement to arbitrate. If you Opt- out
of this agreement to arbitrate, all other provisions of the Agreement will contin-
ue to apply,
and you will not permitted to invoke this agreement to arbitrate to resolve any Dispute
with Lux Optics.
To the extent any provision of this Schedule C is held by a court of competent jurisdiction
to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, you and Lux Optics agree that the provisions of
Section 11.7 (Severability) shall apply.
