Uploads, AI content, and your rights.
Effective date: July 1, 2026. This Intellectual Property, User Content & AI Content Policy is an addendum to, and part of, the LAOUTS Terms of Service, which is the master agreement. It provides the detailed terms for uploads, AI-assisted features, library assets, and commercial/resale rights. Where it addresses a topic in more detail than the Terms, this Policy applies to that topic; on any direct conflict, the Terms of Service control unless this Policy expressly states otherwise. The Service is operated by 4488652 Canada Inc., doing business as LAOUTS. By using LAOUTS, uploading content, or placing an order, you agree to it. Copyright, AI-content, consumer-protection, privacy, platform, and print-fulfillment laws vary by jurisdiction and may change.
Plain-language summary
Not a substitute for the full terms
You own your photos and uploads. LAOUTS does not claim ownership of your photos, images, text, captions, names, files, or other content that you upload.
You are responsible for having the rights and permissions for anything you upload, especially photos of other people, children, clients, schools, events, brands, logos, copyrighted material, or work created by someone else.
LAOUTS uses your uploads only as needed to provide the Service you request, such as creating layouts, previews, books, exports, printed products, image edits, or other features you choose.
LAOUTS does not use your uploaded personal photos or User Content to train generative AI models unless LAOUTS clearly states otherwise and obtains any required consent.
LAOUTS may offer AI-assisted features, including layout generation, caption suggestions, image utilities, decorative elements, stickers, wallpapers, backgrounds, and other creative tools. AI-assisted outputs may not be unique, may resemble other works, and may not be eligible for copyright protection in every jurisdiction.
Some LAOUTS assets may be licensed only for use inside finished LAOUTS projects and may not be resold as standalone sticker packs, wallpaper packs, templates, or digital downloads unless your plan or product license specifically allows it.
Do not upload, generate, print, sell, or share content that infringes someone else's rights. This includes copyrighted works, logos, brands, characters, celebrities, sports teams, entertainment properties, designer marks, private images, or a living artist's identifiable style unless you have permission.
You can use LAOUTS worldwide, but your rights may change depending on where you live, where you sell, what you make, and what laws apply.
About using, selling, and copyrighting AI-assisted artwork
Using or selling an AI-assisted output and owning a copyright in that output are different things.
Use and sale: Depending on your plan, LAOUTS may allow you to use or sell certain outputs or finished products you create through the Service.
Copyright protection: Copyright protection for AI-assisted works may depend on human authorship, originality, selection, arrangement, editing, and applicable law. A bare image generated only from a text prompt may not give you copyright exclusivity. Your human creative work — such as how you select, arrange, edit, caption, combine, and design materials into a finished book, album, magazine, card, print, or other completed product — may have stronger protection as your human-authored work.
In plain English: your plan may let you use and sell what you create through LAOUTS, but a single bare AI-generated image may not be exclusively yours in the copyright sense. Your curation, layout, editing, captions, design decisions, and finished product are where stronger protectable rights may exist.
The full Policy below controls.
0. Definitions and scope
"LAOUTS," "we," "us," or "our" means 4488652 Canada Inc., doing business as LAOUTS, and its affiliates, contractors, service providers, and authorized representatives where applicable.
"Service" means the LAOUTS website, apps, editor, layout engine, AI-assisted tools, upload tools, print/export tools, design systems, content libraries, templates, subscription features, APIs, and related services.
"Terms" means the LAOUTS Terms of Service, including this Intellectual Property, User Content, AI Content & Copyright Policy, the Privacy Policy, Refund / Print Policy, and any plan-specific or product-specific license terms.
"User Content" means any photos, images, text, captions, names, logos, files, designs, prompts, instructions, selections, edits, uploads, imports, or other materials that you submit, upload, import, create, or provide to LAOUTS.
"AI Content" means AI-assisted outputs generated or assisted through the Service, including images, text, captions, layouts, backgrounds, stickers, patterns, wallpapers, suggestions, or other creative outputs.
"LAOUTS Library Assets" means assets made available by LAOUTS, including stickers, wallpapers, background papers, patterns, frames, labels, templates, layouts, design elements, icons, decorative assets, prompts, style systems, visual DNA systems, and other platform materials.
"Finished End Product" means a substantially completed project created through LAOUTS, such as a completed photobook, album, magazine, card, invitation, client proof, print, framed product, memory book, or other completed design that combines User Content, LAOUTS tools, human design choices, and/or other creative additions.
"Standalone Asset" means an extracted, isolated, reusable, or separately marketable file or asset, including stickers, PNGs, SVGs, clip art, digital papers, wallpaper files, template packs, layout packs, prompts, design kits, backgrounds, frames, labels, or asset collections.
If there is a conflict between this Policy and the main Terms, the main Terms control unless this Policy is more specific. If separate product, plan, marketplace, enterprise, or commercial-license terms apply to a specific purchase, those terms control for that specific product or purchase if they conflict with this Policy. LAOUTS may update this Policy as described in the Terms. Continued use of the Service after the effective date of an update means you accept the updated Policy.
1. International use and local laws
LAOUTS is operated from Canada by 4488652 Canada Inc. Users may access the Service from Canada, the United States, the European Union, the United Kingdom, and other countries.
These Terms are intended to apply globally, but some countries, provinces, states, or regions may give you additional rights that cannot be waived by contract. Nothing in these Terms limits any mandatory consumer, privacy, copyright, data-protection, or platform rights that apply to you by law.
If local law gives you rights that are different from these Terms, those local mandatory rights will apply only to the extent required by law.
LAOUTS may limit, suspend, or refuse access, orders, downloads, features, or fulfillment in any country or region where legal, tax, shipping, privacy, payment, sanctions, platform, or operational requirements make service unavailable or impractical.
2. User Content
2.1 You keep ownership of your uploads
You retain all ownership rights you already have in your User Content. LAOUTS does not claim ownership of your photos, images, captions, text, names, files, designs, or other User Content.
2.2 License you grant to LAOUTS
By uploading, importing, submitting, or creating User Content through LAOUTS, you grant LAOUTS and its service providers a limited, non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, store, process, reproduce, display, modify, adapt, resize, crop, enhance, arrange, transmit, export, print, and otherwise use your User Content solely as reasonably necessary to provide, operate, secure, support, troubleshoot, maintain, and fulfill the Service. (Any use of aggregated or de-identified data to improve the Service is addressed in the Privacy Policy.)
This includes, where applicable:
- creating layouts, spreads, covers, previews, exports, and digital files;
- culling, grouping, sorting, analyzing, enhancing, cropping, straightening, upscaling, vectorizing, background-removing, or otherwise processing images at your request;
- generating captions, titles, text suggestions, layout suggestions, or design recommendations;
- creating digital previews, proofing pages, share links, downloadable files, print files, or finished products;
- transmitting files to print, fulfillment, payment, hosting, storage, analytics, infrastructure, fraud-prevention, and customer-support providers;
- producing, packaging, and shipping printed products that you order;
- detecting abuse, fraud, security issues, technical errors, or policy violations;
- enforcing the Terms;
- complying with applicable law, legal process, enforceable requests, or governmental requirements.
This license ends when you delete the applicable User Content or close your account, except that LAOUTS may retain copies as reasonably necessary for backups, security, legal compliance, accounting, fraud prevention, customer support, completed orders, dispute resolution, tax records, audit logs, and internal records, subject to the Privacy Policy and applicable law.
2.3 No AI model training on your personal uploads
LAOUTS does not use your uploaded personal photos or personal User Content to train generative AI models unless LAOUTS clearly states otherwise and obtains any required consent.
If LAOUTS ever offers an optional feature that uses your content to create a custom style, personalized model, training reference, or similar feature, that use will be governed by separate feature terms and, where required, separate consent.
2.4 Your responsibility for rights and permissions
By uploading, importing, submitting, generating, ordering, printing, sharing, selling, or distributing content through LAOUTS, you represent and warrant that:
- you own the User Content or have obtained all rights, licenses, permissions, consents, releases, and approvals necessary to use it with the Service;
- your User Content and your use of LAOUTS do not infringe, misappropriate, or violate any copyright, trademark, trade dress, design right, moral right, privacy right, publicity right, personality right, contractual right, confidentiality obligation, or other right of any person or entity;
- you have all required permissions from photographers, clients, subjects, parents or guardians of minors, event organizers, employers, brands, venues, schools, guests, family members, agencies, and any other relevant parties whose rights may be affected;
- you have the right to authorize LAOUTS and its service providers to process, reproduce, modify, display, export, print, fulfill, and ship the User Content as part of your requested products;
- your User Content, prompts, orders, products, and use of the Service comply with these Terms and all applicable laws.
2.5 Special responsibility for photographers, studios, agencies, schools, and businesses
If you use LAOUTS on behalf of another person, family, client, company, school, venue, brand, organization, agency, studio, or event, you represent and warrant that you have authority to do so.
If you upload client galleries, school portraits, event photography, wedding photography, corporate images, branded images, sports images, venue images, employee images, guest images, or photos containing children or identifiable individuals, you are responsible for obtaining all permissions, releases, consents, contracts, and rights needed for your intended use.
LAOUTS is not responsible for determining whether you have obtained the necessary rights, releases, consents, or permissions.
3. Third-party service providers
LAOUTS may use third-party service providers to provide the Service, including AI generation providers, image-processing providers, print providers, fulfillment providers, hosting providers, storage providers, payment processors, analytics providers, email providers, customer-support tools, fraud-prevention providers, and infrastructure providers.
These providers may process User Content, prompts, outputs, account information, order information, or technical data only as needed to provide services to LAOUTS, subject to our Privacy Policy, provider contracts, and applicable law.
You authorize LAOUTS to transmit and process the files and information reasonably necessary to provide the features, exports, print products, and services you request.
4. Prohibited content and conduct
You may not upload, create, prompt, generate, order, print, distribute, sell, share, or otherwise use LAOUTS in connection with content or conduct that:
- infringes, misappropriates, or violates any copyright, trademark, trade dress, design right, moral right, trade secret, privacy right, publicity right, personality right, contractual right, confidentiality obligation, or other third-party right;
- uses logos, brand names, protected characters, celebrity likenesses, copyrighted artwork, sports teams, entertainment properties, designer marks, school marks, organization marks, venue marks, or other protected material without authorization;
- is intended to copy, imitate, reproduce, counterfeit, pass off, or create confusingly similar versions of another person's protected work, brand, product, character, image, likeness, identity, or design;
- uses prompts, uploads, or instructions intended to clone, imitate, reproduce, or closely replicate a living artist, photographer, illustrator, designer, studio, brand, or creator's identifiable style in a way that may violate rights, applicable law, or platform policy;
- falsely suggests endorsement, sponsorship, affiliation, approval, or authorization by any person, brand, company, celebrity, school, venue, event, team, or organization;
- violates another person's privacy, confidentiality, publicity, dignity, or safety;
- includes private or sensitive images that you do not have permission to use, upload, print, share, or sell;
- contains unlawful, defamatory, fraudulent, harassing, hateful, exploitative, abusive, threatening, or otherwise harmful material;
- contains sexualized images of minors, non-consensual intimate imagery, sexual exploitation, child exploitation, or any content involving abuse or exploitation;
- violates applicable print-provider, payment-provider, app-store, hosting-provider, AI-provider, fulfillment-provider, or platform rules;
- attempts to bypass technical, legal, safety, rights-management, payment, or usage restrictions;
- uses LAOUTS to create, train, scrape, extract, copy, or build a competing software product, asset library, prompt library, template library, or design tool;
- is otherwise prohibited by LAOUTS policies.
LAOUTS may reject uploads, block prompts, refuse generation, cancel orders, remove content, limit features, suspend accounts, terminate accounts, preserve records, or report content where LAOUTS believes, in its discretion, that content or conduct may violate these Terms, applicable law, provider rules, or the rights of others.
5. Printed products and fulfillment
LAOUTS may allow users to create and order physical products, including photobooks, albums, magazines, prints, cards, framed products, and related products.
By placing an order, you authorize LAOUTS and its print and fulfillment providers to reproduce, print, bind, package, ship, and otherwise process the files, designs, and User Content required to complete your order.
You are solely responsible for the legality and rights clearance of all content included in printed products. LAOUTS and its print and fulfillment providers may refuse or cancel any order that appears to violate these Terms, provider policies, applicable law, or third-party rights.
Because printed products are custom-made, all sales are final: change-of-mind cancellations, changes, refunds, and returns are not offered once production begins. LAOUTS will replace or refund products that arrive defective, damaged, or not as ordered under the LAOUTS print guarantee. This is governed by LAOUTS' Refund / Print Policy, and nothing here limits mandatory consumer rights that apply to you by law.
LAOUTS is not responsible for delays, customs issues, shipping disruptions, duties, taxes, import restrictions, address errors, user-upload quality problems, color variation, paper variation, trimming variation, binding variation, production tolerances, or other fulfillment issues except as expressly stated in the Refund / Print Policy or required by law.
6. LAOUTS assets, templates, layouts, software, and brand
LAOUTS and its licensors own all rights in the Service and all LAOUTS materials, except for User Content.
This includes the LAOUTS name, trademarks, trade dress, brand, software, source code and object code, interface, "look and feel," layout engine, templates, design systems, page structures, placeholder systems, algorithms, prompts, workflows, visual style systems, visual DNA systems, editor tools, documentation, icons, graphics, library assets, and other platform materials. The selection, coordination, and arrangement of the templates, layouts, design elements, and tools in the Service are themselves protected, independent of the individual elements.
Subject to your compliance with the Terms, LAOUTS grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to use the Service and included LAOUTS materials solely within the Service and only for the purposes allowed by your plan. No rights are granted except those expressly stated; all other rights are reserved.
Except as expressly permitted by your plan, by applicable law that cannot be contractually waived, or by a separate written agreement with LAOUTS, you may not, and may not permit or enable any third party to:
- copy, reproduce, modify, adapt, translate, or create derivative works of the Service, the software, the layout engine, templates, layouts, design systems, style systems, prompts, workflows, library assets, or any LAOUTS materials or outputs;
- reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, decrypt, or otherwise attempt to derive or discover the source code, object code, structure, algorithms, prompts, models, or underlying ideas of the Service or any LAOUTS software or system, except to the limited extent this restriction is prohibited by applicable law;
- sell, resell, rent, lease, lend, sublicense, distribute, publish, assign, or otherwise transfer the Service or any LAOUTS materials, in whole or in part, to any third party;
- scrape, crawl, spider, harvest, index, frame, mirror, or use any robot, bot, or automated means to access, extract, or copy the Service, its content, or its assets;
- use the Service, its outputs, templates, design systems, prompts, or library assets to build, train, or improve any product, model, asset library, template library, prompt library, or service that competes with LAOUTS, or to assist anyone else in doing so;
- remove, obscure, alter, or circumvent any copyright, trademark, watermark, metadata, rights-management, security, authentication, usage-limit, or other protective notice or measure in or applied to the Service or its assets;
- access the Service to benchmark, monitor its availability/performance for a competitor, or copy its features, "look and feel," or workflow into a competing offering.
These restrictions survive termination. Each violation may cause LAOUTS irreparable harm for which monetary damages are inadequate, and LAOUTS may seek injunctive relief in addition to any other remedy.
7. LAOUTS Library Assets
LAOUTS may provide or generate pre-made assets, including stickers, backgrounds, wallpapers, digital papers, patterns, frames, labels, templates, layouts, design elements, icons, decorative elements, prompt systems, style DNA systems, and related materials.
LAOUTS Library Assets are licensed, not sold.
Unless your plan expressly allows otherwise, you may use LAOUTS Library Assets only inside projects created with LAOUTS and only as part of Finished End Products allowed by your plan.
You may not extract, download, resell, redistribute, sublicense, upload, publish, or sell LAOUTS Library Assets as Standalone Assets.
This means, unless your plan expressly allows it, you may not sell, offer, give away, or distribute LAOUTS Library Assets as: sticker packs; PNG packs; SVG packs; clip art; stock assets; digital paper packs; wallpaper packs; printable kits; planner sticker packs; template packs; prompt packs; layout packs; Recraft/DNA/style packs; Canva templates; design kits; asset libraries; competing software assets; marketplace downloads; or any other standalone or extractable asset collection.
LAOUTS may offer separate licenses for certain asset packs, commercial-use packs, downloadable products, template products, or marketplace products. Those separate license terms will control only for the specific assets or products purchased.
8. AI-assisted features and AI Content
LAOUTS may offer AI-assisted features, including image processing, layout generation, caption suggestions, text generation, image generation, background removal, enhancement, upscaling, vectorization, culling, grouping, cropping, design suggestions, sticker generation, wallpaper generation, pattern generation, and other creative or utility tools.
8.1 Text-to-image generation and image utility tools
LAOUTS may offer text-to-image generation and image utility tools.
Unless a feature clearly states otherwise and you request it, LAOUTS does not use your uploaded personal photos as source images for new AI-generated artwork.
Image utilities you request, such as background removal, vectorization, enhancement, cleanup, cropping, or upscaling, operate on your own User Content at your direction.
If a feature allows you to use an uploaded image as a reference, source, style input, or transformation input, you are responsible for making sure you have the rights and permissions to use that image for that purpose.
8.2 No guarantee of uniqueness, originality, copyrightability, or non-infringement
AI-assisted outputs may be similar to existing works, public-domain works, stock assets, user prompts, training patterns, LAOUTS Library Assets, or outputs generated for other users.
LAOUTS does not guarantee that AI-assisted outputs are unique, original, exclusive, copyrightable, registrable, free from similarity to third-party works, free from third-party claims, or suitable for commercial use.
Copyright protection for AI-assisted works may depend on applicable law, human authorship, originality, selection, arrangement, editing, and other facts. Laws and regulatory guidance vary by jurisdiction and may change.
8.3 Current legal position on AI-assisted works
Informational only
Copyright and ownership rules for AI-assisted works are developing and vary by country.
In some jurisdictions, including under current U.S. Copyright Office guidance, material generated solely from text prompts may not be copyrightable unless there is sufficient human authorship. Human-authored elements, and a human's creative selection, coordination, arrangement, editing, modification, and combination of AI-assisted material, may be protectable if they satisfy copyright requirements. Anyone seeking to register a work that contains AI-generated material with the U.S. Copyright Office may need to disclose the AI-generated content and describe the human author's contribution.
Other jurisdictions, including Canada, the European Union, the United Kingdom, and other countries, may treat AI-assisted works differently now or in the future.
If you plan to rely on copyright protection, register a work, sell commercially, use outputs for a client, or enforce rights against someone else, you should consult qualified legal counsel in the relevant country.
This section is informational only. It is not legal advice, does not guarantee copyright protection, and does not enlarge any rights granted under your plan.
8.4 Your responsibility for prompts and outputs
You are responsible for your prompts, instructions, inputs, uploads, edits, selections, outputs, orders, and use of AI-assisted features.
You may not use LAOUTS to intentionally generate, imitate, reproduce, or create confusingly similar versions of copyrighted works, protected characters, brand assets, logos, celebrity likenesses, sports teams, entertainment properties, living artists' identifiable styles, or other protected material unless you have the necessary rights.
LAOUTS may block, modify, reject, remove, or refuse prompts or outputs that appear to violate these Terms, applicable law, provider rules, platform policy, or third-party rights.
8.5 Ownership and license model for AI Content
Unless otherwise stated in your plan terms:
- you retain ownership of your User Content;
- LAOUTS retains ownership of LAOUTS assets, LAOUTS Library Assets, software, templates, layout systems, style systems, prompts, workflows, platform materials, and licensed library materials;
- to the extent any rights exist in AI-assisted outputs generated for you through the Service, LAOUTS licenses those outputs to you under your applicable plan;
- LAOUTS makes no representation that AI-assisted outputs are owned by anyone, protectable by copyright, registrable, exclusive, or free from third-party claims;
- free plans may be limited to personal, non-commercial use;
- paid plans may include broader use rights, subject to restrictions.
Commercial rights, resale rights, print-on-demand rights, exclusivity, attribution requirements, transferability, sublicensing, and standalone asset use must be defined in the applicable plan or license terms.
No plan grants ownership of LAOUTS software, templates, layout systems, style systems, prompt systems, LAOUTS Library Assets, brand materials, or platform materials unless expressly stated in a signed written agreement with LAOUTS.
9. Commercial use and resale restrictions
Your plan determines what you may do commercially.
9.1 Finished End Products
Paid commercial plans may allow you to sell, distribute, or deliver Finished End Products, subject to the plan terms.
Finished End Products may include completed photobooks, albums, magazines, memory books, cards, invitations, prints, framed products, client proofs, or other completed projects that combine User Content, human layout choices, captions, edits, arrangement, and/or other creative additions.
9.2 What is not a Finished End Product
A Finished End Product does not include Standalone Assets.
Unless your plan expressly allows it, you may not sell, distribute, export, give away, upload, sublicense, or commercially exploit standalone LAOUTS assets, isolated stickers, extracted backgrounds, wallpapers, digital paper packs, PNG folders, SVG files, clip art, templates, prompt packs, layout packs, Recraft/DNA/style packs, Canva templates, design kits, or any asset collection that competes with LAOUTS.
9.3 Resale restrictions
Unless your plan expressly allows it, you may not:
- resell standalone LAOUTS assets, LAOUTS Library Assets, AI outputs, templates, layout packs, design elements, prompts, style systems, wallpapers, backgrounds, stickers, digital papers, generated files, or asset packs;
- upload LAOUTS assets or outputs to stock marketplaces, print-on-demand marketplaces, digital-download marketplaces, template marketplaces, design marketplaces, or asset libraries as standalone assets;
- claim exclusive ownership over AI-generated outputs that may not be legally protectable or may be generated for other users;
- remove watermarks, metadata, rights notices, or attribution where required;
- use LAOUTS outputs, systems, templates, prompts, or style systems to create confusingly similar products, services, templates, software, or asset libraries that compete with LAOUTS;
- use LAOUTS assets for unlawful, infringing, misleading, deceptive, or unauthorized commercial purposes.
9.4 Separate commercial licenses
LAOUTS may offer separate commercial licenses, downloadable asset products, marketplace products, commercial-use packs, enterprise licenses, studio licenses, or print-on-demand licenses.
Those licenses apply only to the specific products, assets, plans, or uses expressly stated in the applicable license terms.
10. Your indemnification of LAOUTS
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless LAOUTS, 4488652 Canada Inc., and its owners, officers, directors, employees, contractors, agents, licensors, service providers, and affiliates from and against any claim, demand, action, investigation, liability, loss, damage, judgment, settlement, cost, or expense, including reasonable attorneys' fees, arising out of or related to:
- your User Content;
- your prompts, inputs, instructions, edits, selections, or use of AI-assisted outputs;
- your uploads, exports, orders, printed products, downloads, sales, distributions, or Finished End Products;
- your use or misuse of LAOUTS Library Assets;
- your breach of these Terms or this Policy;
- your violation of any law, regulation, contract, or third-party right;
- your failure to obtain required rights, permissions, releases, consents, or approvals.
LAOUTS may, at its option, assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter subject to indemnification. You agree to cooperate with LAOUTS in the defense of any claim.
11. Copyright and intellectual property complaints
LAOUTS respects intellectual property rights.
If you believe content available through LAOUTS infringes your copyright, trademark, publicity right, privacy right, or other rights, you may submit a notice to LAOUTS.
Because procedures vary by country, LAOUTS may handle notices under one or more of the following, depending on the circumstances:
- Canadian copyright notice procedures, including Canada's Notice and Notice regime where applicable;
- the U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act, where applicable;
- European Union or United Kingdom platform, consumer, copyright, or digital-service rules where applicable;
- app-store, payment-provider, AI-provider, print-provider, hosting-provider, or marketplace rules;
- other applicable laws, court orders, or legal processes.
LAOUTS may remove or disable access to content, suspend accounts, terminate repeat infringers, cancel orders, preserve records, notify users, forward notices where required, or take other action where appropriate.
Submitting a notice does not guarantee removal. LAOUTS may request additional information to assess the claim.
12. Canadian copyright notices
For copyright complaints involving Canada or Canadian users, LAOUTS may process notices under Canadian copyright law, including Canada's Notice and Notice regime where applicable.
A Canadian copyright notice should include enough information for LAOUTS to understand and assess the complaint, including:
- your name and contact information;
- identification of the copyrighted work claimed to be infringed;
- identification of the material claimed to be infringing and information reasonably sufficient for LAOUTS to locate it;
- a statement that you are the copyright owner or are authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner;
- a description of why you believe the use is unauthorized;
- any other information required by applicable Canadian law.
Where required by Canadian law, LAOUTS may forward a compliant notice to the relevant user and retain related records. LAOUTS may also remove, disable, refuse, or restrict access to content where LAOUTS believes removal or restriction is appropriate under these Terms, provider rules, or applicable law.
Canadian Notice and Notice is not the same as U.S. DMCA takedown. Forwarding a notice does not automatically mean the content will be removed, but LAOUTS may remove or restrict content where permitted by these Terms, provider rules, or applicable law.
13. U.S. DMCA notice-and-takedown procedure
This section applies to copyright complaints made under the United States Digital Millennium Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. § 512).
For copyright complaints under the U.S. DMCA, send a written notice to LAOUTS' Designated Agent containing:
- your physical or electronic signature;
- identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or a representative list if multiple works are involved;
- identification of the material claimed to be infringing and information reasonably sufficient for LAOUTS to locate it, such as a URL, project link, listing link, account name, order number, or other identifying information;
- your name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address;
- a statement that you have a good-faith belief that the disputed use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law;
- a statement, made under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on the copyright owner's behalf.
Designated Agent: Copyright Agent, 4488652 Canada Inc. (LAOUTS) · copyright@laouts.com · 433 rue Saint-Claude, Montréal, Québec, H2Y 3B6, Canada · +1 (514) 777-9525.
13.1 Counter-notification
If your content was removed or disabled and you believe it was a mistake or misidentification, you may send a counter-notification to the Designated Agent containing: (1) your physical or electronic signature; (2) identification of the removed material and the location at which it appeared before removal; (3) a statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification; (4) your name, address, and telephone number; and (5) a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the U.S. federal district court for the judicial district in which you are located (or, if you are outside the United States, any U.S. federal district court in which LAOUTS may be found) and will accept service of process from the complaining party or its agent. LAOUTS may restore the material as permitted by law.
13.2 Repeat infringers
LAOUTS maintains a policy of terminating, in appropriate circumstances, the accounts of users who are repeat infringers.
14. International consumer rights
Some countries and regions give consumers mandatory rights for online purchases, digital content, subscriptions, custom-made goods, defective products, refunds, cancellations, withdrawals, or chargebacks.
Nothing in these Terms limits any mandatory consumer rights that apply to you by law.
Because many LAOUTS products are custom-made, personalized, digital, downloadable, or generated at your request, all sales are final once production, download, export, generation, or fulfillment begins: change-of-mind cancellations, refunds, withdrawal rights, and returns are not offered at that point, except where required by law or where the LAOUTS print guarantee applies (defective, damaged, or wrong items). See the Refund / Print Policy for details.
For users in the European Union, United Kingdom, or other jurisdictions with withdrawal or cancellation rights, LAOUTS may ask you to acknowledge that digital content, custom products, or personalized products may be provided before the end of any withdrawal period and that certain cancellation rights may be lost once performance begins, where permitted by law.
For digital downloads, downloadable asset packs, AI-generated exports, or instant-access files, LAOUTS may require you to expressly consent to immediate delivery and acknowledge that cancellation or withdrawal rights may be lost once delivery, generation, export, or download begins, where permitted by law.
15. Cross-border processing summary
This section is a summary only. The Privacy Policy provides the full details on personal information, service providers, retention, transfers, safeguards, and user rights.
LAOUTS is operated from Canada, but our service providers may process or store information in Canada, the United States, the European Union, the United Kingdom, or other countries.
By using the Service, you understand that your account information, User Content, prompts, outputs, order information, payment information, support requests, and technical data may be processed in countries other than where you live.
Those countries may have privacy, data-protection, law-enforcement, national-security, or court-access rules that differ from the laws in your jurisdiction.
LAOUTS remains responsible for using reasonable contractual, technical, and organizational safeguards for personal information processed by service providers, as described in the Privacy Policy.
16. Eligibility and minors
You must be at least 18 years old, or the age of majority in your jurisdiction if higher, to create an account and place orders. The Service is not directed to children, and LAOUTS does not knowingly collect personal information from them. Because users may upload photos of children, you are responsible for having the rights and parental/guardian consent for any such images, consistent with COPPA, PIPEDA, GDPR/UK GDPR, and other applicable laws.
17. Disclaimers and limitation of liability
The Service and all assets and AI-assisted outputs are provided "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE," without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, and any warranty that outputs are unique, accurate, or fit for commercial use, to the maximum extent permitted by law.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, LAOUTS and its providers will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, data, or goodwill. LAOUTS' total aggregate liability arising out of or relating to the Service or these Terms will not exceed the greater of the amount you paid LAOUTS in the 12 months before the event giving rise to the claim, or CAD $100.
Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations or exclusions, so some of these may not apply to you, and nothing here limits any liability or mandatory rights that cannot be limited or waived by applicable law.
18. Governing law and disputes
These Terms are governed by the laws of Quebec and the federal laws of Canada applicable there, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules, except where mandatory local law in your jurisdiction provides otherwise. The exclusive venue for disputes is the courts of the Province of Quebec, district of Montréal, except where mandatory local law gives you the right to bring proceedings in your home jurisdiction. No arbitration requirement or class-action waiver applies to you under this Policy.
Nothing in this Section overrides the mandatory consumer, privacy, copyright, or data-protection rights described in Sections 1, 11–15.
