6. Warranty Disclaimers, Limitations of Liability, Indemnity
If you are a user residing outside the EU, the following applies:
DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES. SKETCHFAB MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND REGARDING THE SERVICES OR THE SKETCHFAB CONTENT. YOU EXPRESSLY AGREE THAT YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES IS AT YOUR SOLE RISK. THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” FOR YOUR USE, WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, UNLESS SUCH WARRANTIES ARE LEGALLY INCAPABLE OF EXCLUSION. SKETCHFAB, INC. EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING: (i) ALL WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NONINFRINGEMENT, AND ANY AND ALL WARRANTIES ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING AND USAGE OF TRADE; (ii) THAT THE SERVICES, WEBSITE AND THE SKETCHFAB CONTENT WILL MEET YOUR REQUIREMENTS, WILL ALWAYS BE AVAILABLE, ACCESSIBLE, UNINTERRUPTED, TIMELY, SECURE OR OPERATE WITHOUT ERROR; (iii) AS TO THE RESULTS THAT MAY BE OBTAINED FROM THE OPERATION, USE OR OTHER EXPLOITATION OF THE SERVICES, WEBSITE OR THE SKETCHFAB CONTENT; AND (iv) AS TO THE ACCURACY OR RELIABILITY OF ANY INFORMATION OBTAINED FROM THE SERVICES, WEBSITE OR THE SKETCHFAB CONTENT. No advice or information obtained by you from Sketchfab, Inc., or otherwise through the Services, will create any warranty not expressly stated herein.
LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. SKETCHFAB’S MAXIMUM AGGREGATE LIABILITY TO ANY USER WILL BE THE AMOUNT PAID BY SUCH USER TO SKETCHFAB FOR THE PERIOD IN WHICH THE LIABILITY ARISES (UP TO A MAXIMUM OF USD10,000), ONLY IF THE USER HAS PAID FEES FOR USE OF THE SERVICES.

If you are a user residing in the EU, the following applies:
Your statutory warranty rights apply.
Sketchfab, its affiliates, and its and their licensors and service providers (collectively, the “Sketchfab Parties”) shall be liable without limitation for intent and gross negligence as well as for damages resulting from injury to life, body or health. In cases of slight negligence, the Sketchfab Parties shall only be liable in the event of a breach of a material contractual obligation. A material contractual obligation within the meaning of this clause is an obligation the fulfilment of which makes the performance of the contract possible in the first place and on the fulfilment of which the contractual partner may therefore regularly rely. This liability for breach of a material contractual obligation is limited to the damage foreseeable at the time of the conclusion of the contract, the occurrence of which must be typically expected. The limitations of liability apply accordingly in favor of the Sketchfab Parties’s employees, agents and vicarious agents. Any liability on the Sketchfab Parties’s part for any commercial guarantees the Sketchfab Parties may have provided and for claims based on obligatory product liability law or in the event of data protection violations shall remain unaffected.
Indemnity. You agree to indemnify and hold Sketchfab and its affiliates, subsidiaries, owners, directors, officers, employees and agents harmless from and against any and all claims, demands, suits, proceedings, liabilities, judgments, losses, damages, expenses and costs (including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees) assessed or incurred by Sketchfab directly or indirectly, with respect to or arising out of: (i) your failure to comply with this Agreement; (ii) your breach of your obligations under this Agreement; (iii) your use of the rights granted hereunder, including without limitation any claims made by any third parties; (iv) your violation of any third party right or applicable law, including without limitation any intellectual property, publicity, or privacy, right or law; and/or (v) any claim that any of your User Content caused damage to a third party.

11. Applicable law and jurisdiction; Arbitration
11.1 Applicable law and jurisdiction. The Services are primarily operated by Sketchfab from its offices in the United States and France.

11.2 Arbitration. THIS DOES NOT APPLY TO YOU IF YOU ARE A RESIDENT OF THE EU. All disputes arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Services shall be resolved exclusively by binding arbitration before a single arbitrator (the “Arbitrator”) in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”) then in effect and the further procedures set forth herein. (For information on the AAA and its rules, see www.adr.org.) The arbitration shall be conducted in Raleigh, North Carolina, unless the Arbitrator shall determine that that venue is not reasonably convenient to all parties, in which case the Arbitrator shall determine another venue that is.

The Arbitrator shall have authority to issue any and all remedies authorized by law. The arbitration shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §§ 2 et seq. Notwithstanding any rules of the AAA to the contrary, any claims shall be adjudicated on an individual basis only, and ALL USERS WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO BRING ANY CLAIM AS A REPRESENTATIVE OF A PROPOSED CLASS, ON AN AGGREGATED OR MASS BASIS, OR AS A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL, OR TO CONSOLIDATE ARBITRATION PROCEEDINGS WITHOUT THE CONSENT OF ALL PARTIES THERETO.

Also notwithstanding the foregoing, a User may at their option file an individual claim in any small claims court for disputes or claims within the scope of its subject matter jurisdiction if such court has personal jurisdiction. Sketchfab does not hereby waive any defense that such jurisdiction may be lacking in the User’s jurisdiction.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to only bring disputes in an individual capacity and shall not: seek to bring, join, or participate in any class or representative action, collective or class-wide arbitration, or any other action where another individual or entity acts in a representative capacity (e.g., private attorney general actions); or consolidate or combine individual proceedings or permit an arbitrator to do so without the express consent of Sketchfab and all parties to all other actions or arbitrations.
12. Amendment
Sketchfab reserves the right to amend the Agreement at any time by posting a notice on this page, sending an email notification to registered Users, or otherwise notifying Users via the Services. Registered Users will receive notification of forthcoming change one (1) month before the Agreement as amended is effective.

13. Miscellaneous
This Agreement represents the entire agreement between Sketchfab and the User with respect to the provision of the Services, and all prior representations and understandings, whether written or oral, are excluded. No delay or omission by Sketchfab in exercising any of its rights occurring upon any noncompliance or default by any User with respect to any of the terms and conditions of this Agreement will impair any such right or be construed to be a waiver thereof, and a waiver by Sketchfab of any of the covenants, conditions or terms to be performed by a User will not be construed to be a waiver of any succeeding breach thereof or of any other covenant, condition or terms hereof contained. As used in this Agreement, “including” means “including but not limited to.” If any provision of this Agreement is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, then the Agreement will remain in full force and effect and will be reformed to be valid and enforceable while reflecting the intent of the parties to the greatest extent permitted by law. You shall not assign or transfer this Agreement or any right or obligation hereunder to any third party. Sketchfab may freely assign this Agreement, including to any purchase of Sketchfab, Inc. and/or its business operations. You agree that the electronic text of this Agreement constitutes a writing, and your assent to the terms and conditions hereof constitutes a “signing” for all purposes.
You consent to receive communications from us electronically, and you agree that we may communicate with you by email or by posting notices on the Services. You agree that all agreements, notices, disclosures and other communications that we provide to you, or that you provide to us, electronically satisfy any legal requirement that such communications be in writing. We are not responsible for any automatic filtering that may be applied to any email notices that we send to the email address you have provided.
The Services are operated by Sketchfab, Inc., a Delaware corporation. General inquiries may be directed to our support team.
14. Suggested Content
Sketchfab makes personalized recommendations to help tailor and enhance your experience on the service. These recommendations are based on several factors, including how you interact with the service, and are sorted by popularity.
Our recommendation features include:
Cart recommendations – based on similarities as to what is already in your checkout cart, we’ll make purchase recommendations for other relevant and useful products.
Model page – we show you similar content, based on tags, categories, titles, and users you follow, prioritized by the number of likes. If a product is for-purchase, we’ll only show you other for-purchase products.
Newsfeed suggestions – we use tags from the models you have liked to recommend models with similar tags, prioritized by the most liked.
Model search – when you search for for-purchase models, we’ll also show you similar for-purchase items based on what you have searched for, and those with the most sales will appear first.
15. Artificial Intelligence
(a) Identifying where User Content should not be used with Generative AI Programs
We care about protecting creators and providing the tools to protect their creations. You are able to tag your projects containing your User Content with “NoAI” if you would like such content to be prohibited from use with AI. This tag will not be applied to your uploads or your User Content by default; you must actively designate your projects containing your User Content for the “NoAI” tag to apply. Any User Content that has been tagged, labeled, or otherwise marked “NoAI” via the functionality provided by the platform will be known as “NoAI Content.”
For purposes of this Agreement, “Generative AI Programs” means artificial intelligence, machine learning, deep learning, neural networks, or similar technologies designed to automate the generation of or aid in the creation of new content, including but not limited to audio, visual, or text-based content. You shall not collect, aggregate, mine, scrape, or otherwise use NoAI Content (i) in datasets utilized by Generative AI Programs; (ii) in the development of Generative AI Programs; or (iii) as inputs to Generative AI Programs.
Sketchfab agrees, whether or not your User Content is NoAI Content, that it will not use your User Content or license your User Content to third parties for use (i) in datasets utilized by Generative AI Programs; (ii) in the development of Generative AI Programs; or (iii) as inputs to Generative AI Programs.
(b) Identifying where User Content is created with Generative AI Programs.
If you make User Content available and such User Content is created using Generative AI Programs, you must label such User Content as “CreatedWithAI” via the functionality provided by Sketchfab. In some cases, where the User Content is uploaded through integrations with Generative AI Programs, the User Content may be labelled as “CreatedWithAI” automatically.
Under this Agreement, User Content is considered to be created using Generative AI Programs where a material portion of User Content is generated with Generative AI Programs, whether characters, backgrounds, or other material elements. User Content is not considered to be created using Generative AI Programs merely for use of features that solely operate on content (e.g., content-aware fill) or that don’t introduce material Generative AI elements into your work (e.g. AI based image upscaling).
(c) How We use AI in our Safety and Discovery Tools
Epic uses artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies in our Safety and Discovery Tools to make sure our Services and Epic’s other products and services comply with Epic’s Content Guidelines and Community Rules and to improve our search and recommendations. We use User Content to improve how the Safety and Discovery Tools operate. These tools perform a wide range of safety workloads, like identifying dangerous and illegal content, fraud, spam, unauthorized automation, fake accounts, and content, users or interactions which might break our rules. In addition to safety, we may further classify your content to provide services like search, recommendations and content discovery.
As noted above in Section 15(a), Epic does not use User Content and does not license User Content to third parties for use in datasets for, training of, or as inputs to Generative AI Programs.
