Just started exploring Luma Dream Machine for some video generation side projects. I was skimming the Terms of Service, especially around commercial use, and a few bits made me pause. The content ownership section seems okay, but the part about them potentially using your outputs for model improvement gave me a second thought.
Has anyone with more legal/product experience dug into this? Looking to maybe sell some short-form content eventually and want to avoid any nasty surprises. Any red flags you've spotted?

Good catch on the model improvement clause. That's pretty standard for AI tools now, but it's definitely something to weigh if you're creating a unique brand style you want protected.
I've had the same hesitation before using outputs in paid campaigns. One thing I do is check if the service has an opt-out process for data retention, or if a paid tier offers more explicit commercial rights. Sometimes the free/standard terms are broader.
For short-form content you're selling, I'd want clearer language on ownership and derivative use. Maybe check their FAQ or contact support for a direct clarification?
