Has anyone read this EULA
If you do “something” they dont like they will K I L L your access. If they do something that destroys your work " Hard luck on you"
While you retain the legal rights to your own work product they can use it any way they like
I particularly like the the bit under 8 INFRINGEMENT AND ENFORCEMENT
where they can act against you for " no reason"
Then under section 11
You have to help Reallusion defend any claim arising from your own content
I’m guessing that could include paying their legal fees for them
Didnt Adobe try this sort of BS
There are indeed some problems with Section 8, is it seems that the user has no way of defending themselves.
For example, in 8.1-C if a third-party claims copyright infringement, it is automatically assumed that that third party is correct, which may or not be the case. The user should at least be notified and be able to counter the claim.
It’s like YouTube, and ironically Reallusion themselves have been victim of a false copyright claim regarding a product video.
So it’s a badly written EULA, as it creates an antagonistic relationship between RL and its users.
I know where this is coming from. Models have become so powerful that large media conglomerates are pressing large tech companies to restrict their models, which is already happening.
I’ve had that a prompt was rejected, not because I did anything bad but because of an over-zealous filter. It is important in such case that NO credits are being charged. So using a filter like that would be much better. The user gets an alert that this is a no-no and no harm is done and no legal action is needed.
I believe that RL needs to think about this. If they want to enter the AI arena, a more sensible approach is needed than the current EULA, which really seems to be aimed at discouraging people of using the service.
This really should be an optional plugin we can install or uninstall off of iclone / CC5 if we choose to.

Depending on external services always had this kind of restrictions. If they don’t like what you do, they can terminate your contract.
Besides that, many things can be written in an EULA, it doesn’t mean that they are legally binding.
True certain aspects of this EULA could easily be argued as unfair or ambiguous, but it would be the first thing Reallusion hid behind and once theyve executed thier options, the user is left without a service out of pocket and arguing with an unresponsive email account
Those corporate EULA agreements are getting completely out of hand lately. It is honestly absurd how companies try to slip in clauses that strip away your ownership rights while protecting themselves from any responsibility, reminiscent of the backlash Adobe faced. Reading through all that heavy-handed legal fine print is exhausting, but it definitely highlights why everyone needs to carefully check software terms before agreeing to anything.
RL has not developed the AI models themselves but is providing access to third-party models such as Seedance. The vendors of the models have their own rules and restrictions, which RL has to comply with, I assume.
just another reason why I’m happy to stay right away from AI.
