Effective date: 1-9-2026
These Terms of Use (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of luministapp.com (the “Website”) and the Luministdesktop application (the “App”). By using the Website or App, you agree to these Terms.
If you do not agree, don’t use the Website or App.
1) The App
Luminist is currently offered as standard version, with the option to upgrade to pro. Although Luminist photo editing software is tested rigorously by us and Apple (before being placed on the App Store), there could be minor bugs that need fixing (as with all software.)
2) Local files and your responsibility
Luminist is designed to process images locally on your device. You control what files you open and where you save/export. Luminist photo editing software is a local install on your computer and does not involve the cloud.
You are responsible for:
- keeping backups of your original images and projects
- verifying exports before using them for client delivery or production work
We strongly recommend keeping copies of original images in a separate folder or drive.
3) No professional guarantees
While Luminist is stable and tested thoroughly, we do not guarantee that it will be error-free, uninterrupted, or suitable for any specific professional purpose.
4) Luminist PRO version
The PRO version of Luminist photo editing software can be purchased through the App Store as a one time fee. PRO features are marked as pro in the standard version and are accessed upon purchase of PRO version.
5) Acceptable use
You agree not to:
- reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract source code from the App except where the law allows it
- use the Website or App to break laws or violate the rights of others
- attempt to disrupt or attack the Website (spam, scraping, hacking, etc.)
6) Intellectual property
The App, Website, branding, logos, and all related materials are owned by Luminist (or its licensors) and are protected by applicable intellectual property laws. You receive a limited, personal, non-transferable license to use the App for its intended purpose.
7) Third-party services and links
The Website may include links to third-party sites. We don’t control those sites and aren’t responsible for their content, privacy policies, or practices.
8) Disclaimer of warranties
The Website and App are provided “as is” and “as available.” To the maximum extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.
9) Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Luminist and its owners/operators will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of data, profits, or business, arising from or related to your use of the Website or App.
If liability is found despite the above, our total liability will be limited to the amount you paid for the App (if any) during the 12 months before the event giving rise to the claim.
10) Indemnification
You agree to defend and indemnify Luminist against claims, damages, losses, and expenses arising from your misuse of the Website or App, or your violation of these Terms.
11) Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. The “Effective date” will reflect the latest version. Continued use after changes means you accept the updated Terms.
