On February 16, 2021, the beta version of CLO-SET was shut down and replaced by an official version, under the CLO-SET Advanced Trial Subscription Plan (further defined in Section 2.3.3 below).
1.1.1.1. Your use of CLO-SET is subject to your acceptance of the CLO-SET Group Admin License Agreement (GALA) set forth in Section 2 below, if you are accessing CLO-SET on behalf of a Legal Entity (A) in order to set up a Group Account and/or a Group Admin on behalf of such Legal Entity; (B) as the Group Admin for such Legal Entity’s Group Account; (C) in order to pay for, or otherwise administer such Legal Entity’s Group Account.
1.1.1.2. If you are accessing CLO-SET in any other capacity or for any other purpose, your use of CLO-SET is subject to the CLO-SET End User License Agreement (EULA) set forth in Section 3 below.
1.1.2. CLO-SET CONNECT (or “CONNECT”) includes an online marketplace (the “CONNECT Store”) where Digital Rights and/or Physical Rights to user-generated content can be bought and sold via Licenses. Prior to March 17, 2021, this marketplace was known as CLO-SET Marketplace. In order to access CONNECT, you need a CLO-SET Account.
1.1.2.1. Your use of CONNECT is subject to your acceptance of the CONNECT Display and Distribution Agreement (“CDDA”) set forth in Section 4 below, if you are accessing CONNECT as a Creator or Vendor.

1.2. Binding Agreement. This CLO-SET Terms of Service (“Terms” or “Agreement”) is a legally binding agreement between you and CLO Virtual Fashion, LLC and its affiliates (“CLO,” “we,” “our,” or “us”).
1.2.1. If you accept or agree to this Agreement on behalf of a company, organization, or other legal entity (a “Legal Entity”), you represent and warrant that you have the authority to bind that Legal Entity to this Agreement, and in such event, “you” and “your” will refer and apply to that Legal Entity. If you are a Legal Entity, acceptance of this Agreement by any of your employees, contractors, representatives, or other users will be binding on you.
1.2.2. This Agreement consists of (A) the CLO-SET GALA; (B) the CLO-SET EULA; (C) the CONNECT Display and Distribution Agreement; (D) the CONNECT EULA; (E) our Privacy Policy; and (F) the applicable terms of service for any of our related websites or interoperable Software through which you access the Services, or use in connection with the Services. Except to the extent you and CLO have executed a separate agreement, this Agreement exclusively governs your access to and use of the Services.
1.2.3. By setting up an account, by using our Services, or by clicking the “I accept” button (or its equivalent), you agree to this Agreement. In this Agreement, CLO and you may each be referred to individually as a “party” and collectively as the “parties”.
1.2.4. Our Services and/or this Agreement may be modified from time to time in our sole discretion. Although it is your responsibility to regularly review this Agreement for any changes, we will notify you of any such revisions by posting them at this location and indicating at the top of this document its last revised date. We may provide other notice such as by email or in-service notice. If at any point for any reason you do not agree to the revised Agreement or to any portion of then-current version of the Agreement (or any other CLO policy, guidelines, rules or codes of conduct), you must stop using the Services. Your continued use of the Services constitutes your consent to such changes. You agree we have no responsibility to otherwise notify you of these updates by email or in-service—except that, for CLO-SET, we will notify you by email or in-service of any material changes to pricing or features for our Subscription Plans and/or our Security Measures.
1.2.5. Unless otherwise set forth in this Agreement, to the extent this Agreement conflicts with any other terms, policy, rules or codes of conduct of CLO, this Agreement shall govern. This Agreement may not be amended except in a writing signed by you and CLO (“writing” does not include an email message).
2.1. Introduction. This CLO-SET Group Admin License Agreement (“GALA”) is between CLO and you, if you are accessing CLO-SET on behalf of a Legal Entity as the Group Admin for such Legal Entity’s Group Account, or if you are accessing CLO-SET on behalf of such Legal Entity for the purposes of setting up such Group Admin or for the purpose of paying for, or otherwise administering such Legal Entity’s Group Account. In such events, “you” and “your” shall refer to such Legal Entity and you warrant that you are authorized to enter in this GALA on behalf of such Legal Entity. This GALA is a binding legal agreement that governs your rights and obligations related to your use of CLO-SET. This GALA is part of the CLO-SET Terms of Service (“Terms”). This GALA incorporates by reference the terms and conditions of the Terms. Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized words or other words used in this GALA have the meaning set forth in the Terms. In the event of any conflict between the Terms and this GALA, this GALA shall supersede and control.
2.2. Administration of the CLO-SET Service
2.2.1. Most important terms in this GALA are capitalized and defined elsewhere in the GALA. In addition, detailed instructions about administration and management of the CLO-SET Service are set forth at https://support.clo-set.com/hc/en-us/categories/360000184736-Manual (“User Manual”).
2.2.2. For the purposes of this GALA, however, there are some big-picture concepts you should understand about (A) how CLO-SET is organized structurally and (B) how you can manage the access levels for each individual person who accesses the Services through you (“End User”). The definitions set forth in this Section 2.2 determine important rights and obligations such as how we bill you and provide you features under our Subscription Plans.
2.2.3. Organizational Units.

2.2.3.2. Group. Any and all Fees due to CLO under the Subscription Plans set forth in Section 5 are calculated on a Group-specific basis and charged to the Group Admin. No email address or account can be used to create more than one Group, or serve as the Group Admin for more than one Group.
2.2.4. Access Levels
2.2.4.1. Role-Based Access Control (“RBAC”). Access levels of End Users are managed through a tiered, user hierarchy system that defines each End User’s granular access privileges based on assigned roles.
2.2.4.2. Hierarchy. As explained in more detail on the Permission page of our User Manual at https://support.clo-set.com/hc/en-us/articles/360002197915-Permission, the access-levels (or permission levels) for End Users of CLO-SET are as follows in descending order: Group Admin > Company Admin > Company Collaborator > Brand Admin > Brand Collaborator > Can Edit > Can View.
2.2.4.3. Group Administrator (“Group Admin”).
2.2.4.3.1. RBAC. Group Admins have the authority to (A) designate Company Admins and Brand Admin; (B) create, edit, and delete files in every organizational unit that exists under it in the Group hierarchy; and (C) invite End Users into every such organizational unit as Collaborators, Editors, or Viewers. Group Admins can control and modify the access level of every End User that belongs to the Group.
2.2.4.3.2. Payment. All Fees due to CLO under the applicable Subscription Plan for all Paying Users within a Group during the applicable Measurement Period will be charged to the Group Admin.
2.2.5. Admin Console.
2.2.5.1. When you sign up for a Subscription Plan, CLO will provide you with access to the Admin Console for the Group Admin to manage its use of the Services and use of the Services by your End Users.
2.2.5.2. You may use the Admin Console to specify one Group Admin and also multiple tiers of Administrators at the Company and Brand levels.
2.2.5.3. Only the Group Admin will have access to the Admin Console. The RBAC system mentioned in Section 2.4 is administered and managed by the Group Admin through the Admin Console.
2.2.5.4. As between CLO and you, you are responsible for: (a) managing access to Admin Accounts and (b) any use of the non-admin accounts by End Users (“End User Account”).
2.2.5.5. You agree that CLO’s responsibilities do not extend to your internal management or administration of the Services for you or any End Users.
2.2.5.6. More information about the Admin Console can be found at https://support.clo-set.com/hc/en-us/articles/360002197975-Admin-Console.
2.2.6. Consents. You will obtain and maintain from End Users all consents necessary to allow (i) End Users’ use of the Services and engagement in the activities described in this Agreement; (ii) the accessing, storing, and processing of your data under this Agreement; and (iii) CLO to deliver the Services.
2.2.7. Equipment. You must provide or purchase all equipment and software necessary to access the Services. You are responsible for all internet fees, data fees, or mobile fees that you incur while accessing the Services.
2.2.8. Establishment of Accounts.

Any “per user” usage limit for the Advanced Features (e.g. for rendering) shall mean “per Paying User” and such limits shall be construed to be aggregate caps that can be shared among all Paying Users in a Group.
2.3.5.3. Pricing and Payment. Under the CLO-SET Advanced Plan, you agree that, in advance of each Measurement Period, every thirty (30) calendar days, your Group Admin will auto-pay the Subscription Fee for each Paying User in the Group at a rate of $50 per Paying User, per Measurement Period.
2.3.5.3.1. “Paying User” means any End User who has an access right of “Admin,” “Collaborator,” or “Editor” in the Group during the applicable Measurement Period.
2.3.5.3.2. Collaborator or Admin. For the purpose of calculating the Subscription Fee due for the applicable Measurement Period, an End User counts as a Collaborator or Admin—and therefore, a Paying User—as of the date he or she accepts an invite to become a Collaborator or Admin (“Paying User Effective Date”).
2.3.5.3.3. Editor. For the purpose of calculating the Subscription Fee due for the applicable Measurement Period, an End User counts as an Editor—and therefore, a Paying User—as of the date he or she (A) is granted the permission-level of Editor (if the End User already has an End User Account), or (B) first logs in to CLO-SET after setting up an End User Account (if the End User did not have an End User Account prior to receiving an invite to become an Editor) (“Paying User Effective Date”).
2.3.5.3.4. Credits.
2.3.5.3.4.1. If, partway through the Measurement Period, the number of Paying Users in a Group decreases, a corresponding prorated Credit will be applied toward your next bill as a deduction from the Subscription Fee due for the next Measurement Period (“Deduction Credits”).
2.3.5.3.4.2. If, partway through the Measurement Period, the number of Paying Users in a Group increases, a corresponding prorated Credit will be applied toward your next bill as an addition to the Subscription Fee due for the next Measurement Period (“Addition Credits”).

2.3.5.3.4.4. If you elect to downgrade from a CLO-SET Advanced Subscription Plan to the CLO-SET Free Subscription Plan, any remaining Deduction Credits will also expire.
2.3.5.3.5. Group Admin. All Fees due to CLO for all Paying Users recorded during a given Measurement Period will be charged to the Group Admin.
2.3.5.4. Subscription Fees are Prepaid via Auto-Pay. You will be automatically billed and charged every 30 calendar days (“Billing Date”) for Subscription Fees in advance of the applicable Measurement Period.
2.3.5.5. Late Payment. If, for whatever reason, your Auto-Pay payment fails to process (or you otherwise fail to pay the Subscription Fee) when charged, you will be notified of such failure and given five (5) calendar days (“Grace Period”) to change the method of payment or otherwise pay the Subscription Fee. If the Subscription Fee is not paid within this Grace Period, your CLO-SET Advanced Subscription Plan will automatically terminate and be downgraded to a CLO-SET Free Subscription Plan.
2.3.5.6. Taxes. For clarity, the Subscription Fee is inclusive of the applicable value-added taxes (VAT) and sales taxes. Except for applicable sales taxes and value-added tax (VAT), the Subscription Fees payable to CLO under this Agreement do not include any taxes, customs, duties, fees, or other amounts assessed or imposed by any governmental authority. You are responsible for paying all taxes arising hereunder other than taxes imposed on CLO’s income. CLO will charge taxes when required to do so. You will pay or reimburse CLO for all such amounts upon demand or provide certificates or other evidence of exemption. If you provide CLO with a valid exemption certificate or similar evidence of exemption, CLO will not collect the taxes covered by that exemption.
2.3.5.7. Withholding Taxes. You will pay CLO net of any applicable Withholding Taxes. You and CLO will work together to avoid any Withholding Tax if exemptions, or a reduced treaty withholding rate, are available. If CLO qualifies for a tax exemption, or a reduced treaty withholding rate, CLO will provide you with reasonable documentary proof. You will provide CLO reasonable evidence that you have paid the relevant authority for the sum withheld or deducted.
2.3.5.8. Downgrading or Cancelling Subscription.
2.3.5.8.1. Effective Date. If you want to downgrade from the CLO-SET Advanced Subscription Plan to the CLO-SET Free Subscription Plan (“Downgrade”), or cancel your Subscription to the CLO-SET Service outright (“Cancellation”), you may make such an election via the Admin Console or the Pricing page—provided that; such Downgrade or Cancellation shall not take effect until the next Billing Date (“Downgrade Date” or “Cancellation Date”).
2.3.5.8.2. No Refunds. In the event of a Downgrade or Cancellation, no refunds of any prepaid Fees will be issued, unless required by law.
2.3.5.8.3. Credits. On the Downgrade Date or Cancellation Date, you must pay CLO through your Group Admin any unpaid Addition Credits on your account; however, any Deduction Credits on your account shall be forfeited as of the Downgrade Date or Cancellation Date.

2.7.1. Security Measures. To ensure the security, confidentiality, and integrity of Customer Data, CLO will use industry standard technical and organizational security measures to transfer, store, and process Customer Data that, at a minimum, will comply with the Security Measures set forth herein. Specifically:
2.7.1.1. Physical and Network Security. CLO-SET will host service data in Microsoft Azure (“Azure”) data centers that have been certified by ISO 27001, PCI/DSS Service Provider Level 1, FedRAMP, HIPAA, SOC 1 Compliance and SOC 2 Compliance.
2.7.1.2. Monitoring. All Production Network systems, networked devices, and circuits are constantly monitored and logically administered by CLO-SET Staff. Physical security, power, and internet connectivity are monitored by Azure.
2.7.1.3. Security Center. Azure Security Center provides a security management system that manages the security of Customer Data with continuous assessment with secure score. Further detailed security measures could be found at https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/security-center/security-center-introduction.
2.7.1.4. Location. CLO-SET leverages a Microsoft Azure(“Azure”) data center in the United States. On May 25, 2018, Azure incorporated the Microsoft Product and Services Data Protection Addendum into its Microsoft Product and Services Data Protection Addendum(“ Microsoft DPA”) into Microsoft Customer Agreement(“MCA”).
2.7.1.5. Protection. The CLO-SET network is protected by the use of key Azure security services, integration with Cloudflare edge protection networks, regular audits, and network intelligence technologies that monitor and/or block malicious traffic and network attacks. See https://www.cloudflare.com/security/ for more information about Cloudflare CDN Security.
2.7.1.6. DDos Mitigation. CLO-SET has architected a multi-layer approach to DDoS mitigation. Its core technology partnership with Cloudflare provides network edge defenses.
2.7.1.7. Encryption. CLO-SET encrypts all communications on the platform via industry best practices such as HTTPS and Transport Layer Security (TLS) 1.2 over public networks. Enterprise Customers of CLO-SET benefit from the protections of encryption at rest for their data. Service Data (database and files) is encrypted at rest in Azure using AES 256 key encryption.
2.7.1.8. Security Incident Response. In the case of a system alert, CLO-SET escalates events to its security team that covers operations, network engineering, and security. CLO-SET employees are well-trained with security incident response processes, including communication channels and escalation paths.
2.7.1.9. Logical Access. The CLO-SET Production Network restricts its access by an explicit need-to-know basis and utilizes least privilege. In addition, the CLO-SET Production Network is frequently audited and monitored, and it is controlled by CLO’s Security Team. The CLO-SET Production Network also requires CLO employees to use multiple factors of authentication when accessing the network.
2.7.2. Email Service. CLO-SET will apply Amazon Simple Email Service (“Amazon SES”) to support email communications. Amazon SES has certification for compliance with ISO/IEC 27001:2013, 27017:2015, 27018:2019, 27701:2019, 9001:2015, and CSA STAR CCM v3.0.1.
2.7.2.1. Encryption. CLO-SET encrypts all communications on the platform via industry best practices such as HTTPS and Transport Layer Security (TLS) 1.2 over public networks. Customers of CLO-SET benefit from the protections of encryption at rest for their data. Service Data (database and files) is encrypted at rest in AWS using AES 256 key encryption.
2.7.3. Application Security. CLO-SET will follow a strict system to securely develop and test against security threats and ensure the safety of your data. CLO-SET will employ a third-party security company to perform detailed penetration tests on different applications.
2.7.3.1. Security Training. CLO-SET requires all engineers to participate in security training operated by the government of South Korea at least once a year.
2.7.3.2. QA. CLO-SET’s Quality Assurance (QA) department reviews and tests the codebase. Dedicated application security engineers on staff identify, test, and triage security vulnerabilities in code.
2.7.3.3. Separate Environments. Testing and Staging environments are physically separated from the Production environment. No actual Service Data is used in the development or test environments.
2.7.3.3.1. Third-Party Penetration Tests. Every year, CLO-SET employs third-party security experts to perform a broad penetration test. Learn more about the third-party security company CLO uses at https://theori.io/about/.
2.7.3.4. Product Security. All communications on CLO-SET servers are encrypted using the industry-standard HTTPS over public networks, securing the traffic between Enterprise Customers and CLO-SET.
2.7.3.4.1. Role-Based Access Control (“RBAC’). RBAC defines granular access privileges and governs access to data within CLO-SET.
2.7.3.4.2. API Security & Authentication. CLO-SET API is Transport Layer Security (TLS)-only. Eligible customers of the Services can authorize against the API using a username and API token.
2.7.3.4.3. Transmission Security. Transport Layer Security (TLS) encrypts and delivers email securely, mitigating eavesdropping between mail servers where peer services support this protocol. CLO-SET encrypts all communications with its UI and API, using industry-standard HTTPS/TLS over public networks, which ensures the security of all traffic in transit between you and CLO-SET.
2.7.3.5. Security Measures Updates. CLO may update the Security Measures from time to time. CLO will provide you with prior notice via email if CLO updates the Security Measures in a manner that materially diminishes the administrative, technical, or physical security features of the Services taken as a whole.
2.7.4. Disclaimer. Notwithstanding our extensive Security Measures, you use the Service at your own risk. We implement the above-mentioned technical, administrative, and organizational measures to protect your data both online and offline from loss, misuse, and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. However, no Internet or e-mail transmission is ever fully secure or error free. In particular, e-mail sent to or from us may not be secure. Therefore, you should take special care in deciding what information you send to us via the Services or e-mail. Please keep this in mind when disclosing any data to us via the Internet. In addition, we are not responsible for circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures contained on the Services, or third-party websites. Finally, we cannot control the actions of users on the platform, who may seek to use third party apps or devices to record, store, or share content or communication without other users’ prior consent. Please keep this in mind when using the Services.
2.8. Audit Rights
2.8.1. From time to time, after ten (10) days’ prior notice to you, CLO may audit your authorized and relevant locations, records, and personnel to assess whether you are in compliance with this Agreement. As part of any such audit, you agree to provide CLO reasonable access to your authorized and relevant locations, records, and personnel.

5.1. Introduction. This CONNECT End User License Agreement (“CEULA”) is a binding legal agreement between CLO and you--if you are accessing (A) the CONNECT Store (or “Store”) as a Customer a potential customer, or (B) CONNECT Profiles (or “Profiles”) in any capacity other than as Customer, Creator or Vendor, as those capitalized terms are defined in the CONNECT Display and Distribution Agreement (“CDDA”) set forth above in Section 4 of the CLO-SET Terms of Service (“Terms”).
5.1.1. By downloading Items, purchasing Licenses, Acquiring Items, viewing or browsing Items, or otherwise indicating your acceptance of this CEULA, you are agreeing to be bound by the terms of this CEULA. If you do not or cannot agree to the terms of this CEULA, please do not download or Acquire Items, purchase Licenses, or otherwise use the Store or Profiles.
5.1.2. If you accept or agree to this CEULA on behalf of a company, organization, or other legal entity (a “Legal Entity”), you represent and warrant that you have the authority to bind that Legal Entity to this CEULA, and in such event, “you” and “your” will refer and apply to that Legal Entity.
5.1.3. This CEULA is a part of the Terms and incorporates the Terms. Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized words or other words used in this CEULA have the meaning set forth in the Terms. In the event of any conflict between the Terms and this CEULA, this CEULA shall supersede and control.
5.2. Dispute Resolution Notice. While details for dispute resolution can be found in Section 5.11 of this CEULA, we’re disclosing this language up front and in detail and in caps because it’s important:
5.2.1. THIS CEULA CONTAINS A BINDING CLASS-ACTION WAIVER PROVISION AND A PROVISION REGARDING NON-BINDING ALTERNATIVE DISPUTE RESOLUTION (ADR) AND A PROVISION REGARDING INFORMAL RESOLUTION. IF YOU ACCEPT THIS CEULA, YOU AGREE TO GIVE UP THE RIGHT TO GO TO COURT AS PART OF A CLASS ACTION AND YOU AGREE TO THE ADR PROVISION AND THE INFORMAL RESOLUTIONS BELOW.
5.2.2. TO ENTER INTO THIS CEULA, YOU MUST BE AN ADULT OF THE LEGAL AGE OF MAJORITY IN YOUR COUNTRY OF RESIDENCE. YOU ARE LEGALLY AND FINANCIALLY RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL ACTIONS USING OR ACCESSING THE CONNECT STORE, INCLUDING THE ACTIONS OF ANYONE YOU ALLOW TO ACCESS TO YOUR ACCOUNT. YOU AFFIRM THAT YOU HAVE REACHED THE LEGAL AGE OF MAJORITY, UNDERSTAND AND ACCEPT THIS CEULA (INCLUDING ITS DISPUTE RESOLUTION TERMS). IF YOU ARE UNDER THE LEGAL AGE OF MAJORITY, YOU MAY NOT USE THE CONNECT STORE.
5.2.3. If you use third party software or services, the privacy policy of the applicable licensor or publisher may also govern your use of that software or services. By using or accessing the CONNECT Store, you also agree to the CLO-SET Terms of Service and acknowledge that you have read CLO’s Privacy Policy
5.3. License Grant
5.3.1. License to Use and Access the Store. CLO grants you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, limited right and license to use and access the Store for your personal use (the “Store License”). The rights that CLO grants you under the Store License are subject to the terms of this CEULA, and you may only make the use of the CEULA if you comply with the applicable terms. The Store License becomes effective on the date you accept this CEULA. The Store License gives you access and use rights and no other rights. The Store License does not grant you any title or ownership in the Store. Certain Items you Acquire from Vendors on the Store may be subject to additional terms. By Acquiring such Items, you agree to such additional terms.
5.3.2. License to Access and/or Use Items on the Store. Vendors are allowed to Offer only two types of Items on the CONNECT Store: a Fee-Based Item or a Free Item License. Your rights to any Fee-Based Items are governed by either a Basic License or an Extended License. Your rights to any Free-Items are governed by the Free Item License.
5.3.3. Fee-Based Licenses. All Fee-Based Items on the Store are made available for sale to Customers under two separate licenses—a Basic License and an Extended License as those capitalized terms are defined in the CDDA—each with its own separate pricing and terms and conditions.
5.3.3.1. Eligibility.
5.3.3.1.1. Basic License. In order to be eligible to purchase an Item under a Basic License, a Customer must be (A) an individual person (“Individual Customer”), in which case, the only “Authorized User” permitted to access or use the Item in question shall be that individual person; or (B) a Legal Entity with five (5) or less employees (“Entity Customer”), in which case, the only “Authorized User(s)” permitted to access or use the Item in question shall be exclusively limited to the internal employees of such Legal Entity. In no event shall Items purchased under a Basic License be shared with any person or entity other than Authorized User(s).
5.3.3.1.2. Extended License. Any Customer that is a Legal Entity with more than five (5) employees must purchase Items under an Extended License. An Item purchased under an Extended License may be accessed or used with (A) employees of such Legal Entity; (B) the personnel of any parent company, affiliate, or subsidiary of such Legal Entity; (C) and any third-party contractors used by any such Legal Entities in connection with a project involving the purchased Item; provided that in any such case, the Item must be used for the Internal Business Needs of the Customer (collectively, “Authorized User”).
5.3.3.1.3. If an Entity Customer purchases an Item under a Basic License but subsequently becomes no longer eligible for a Basic License (i.e. if such Customer begins to employ more than five (5) employees), then such Customer must purchase an Extended License in order for any of its employees to access or use the Item in question.
5.3.3.2. Digital Rights and Physical Rights.
5.3.3.2.1. Digital Rights. If you Acquire a License from the CONNECT Store for which the applicable Vendor has agreed to license Digital Rights to the Item in question, you receive a non-exclusive, non-transferable (except as other permitted herein), royalty-free (other than the one-time License fee, for Fee-Based Items), perpetual (except as otherwise provided herein), worldwide license to download, copy, post, modify, promote, publicly perform, publicly display, digitally perform, transmit, or otherwise use the Item(s) for personal, promotional, and/or commercial purposes (“Digital Rights”)--but solely to the extent permitted by this CEULA and the Terms. You and CLO expressly acknowledge that distribution of such License to you via the CONNECT Store is not a sale of the Item itself, but the grant of Digital Rights to you. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this CEULA permits you to download an Item and sell or distribute those Items through any means other than the CONNECT Store.
5.3.3.2.2. Physical Rights. If you Acquire a License from the CONNECT Store for which the applicable Vendor has agreed to license Physical Rights to the Item in question, you receive a non-exclusive, non-transferable (except as otherwise permitted herein), royalty-free (other than the one-time License fee, for Fee-Based Items), perpetual (except as otherwise provided herein), worldwide license to download, use, make Physical Creations, copy, modify, promote, publicly perform, publicly display, physically perform, or otherwise use the Item(s) for personal, promotion and/or commercial purposes (“Physical Rights”). You and CLO expressly acknowledge that distribution of such License to you via the CONNECT Store is not a sale of the Item itself, but the grant of Digital Rights to you. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this CEULA permits you to download an Item and sell or distribute those Items through any means other than the CONNECT Store.
5.3.3.2.2.1. Physical Creations. For clarity, Physical Rights include a license to use the Item in question to create physical creations such as, but not limited to, 3D printed works, articles of manufacture, and custom garments. (“Creations of Physical Form,” “Physical Production,” or “Physical Creations”).
5.3.3.2.2.2. Physical Rights. If you Acquire a License from the CONNECT Store for which the applicable Vendor has agreed to license Physical Rights to the Item in question, you receive a non-exclusive, non-transferable (except as otherwise permitted herein), royalty-free (other than the one-time License fee, for Fee-Based Items), perpetual (except as otherwise provided herein), worldwide license to download, use, make Physical Creations, copy, modify, promote, publicly perform, publicly display, physically perform, or otherwise use the Item(s) for personal, promotion and/or commercial purposes (“Physical Rights”). You and CLO expressly acknowledge that distribution of such License to you via the CONNECT Store is not a sale of the Item itself, but the grant of Digital Rights to you. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this CEULA permits you to download an Item and sell or distribute those Items through any means other than the CONNECT Store.
5.3.3.2.2.3. No Physical Rights for Fabrics, Trims, or Avatars. For the avoidance of doubt, it is not possible to Offer or Acquire on CONNECT any Physical Rights to any Items that are Uploaded as Fabrics, Trims, or Avatars on CONNECT. While physical versions of such items may be available for direct sale or acquisition between Vendors and Customers outside of CONNECT, CLO does not redistribute or resell Physical Rights to such Items on CONNECT. In the event a Garment is combined with any Fabrics, Trims, or Avatars and the resulting Modified Item is Offered on CONNECT as otherwise permitted in this Agreement, Physical Rights to any such Modified Item shall be exclusively limited to elements of the Modified Item that are not Fabrics, Trims, or Avatars. In addition, Physical Production is not possible for any Modified Item if it includes a Base Item that is a Garment for which the applicable Vendor has elected to make Physical Rights unavailable on CONNECT.
5.3.4. Free Item License. Unless otherwise specified by CLO or the applicable Vendor, any Free Item you rightfully Acquire from the CONNECT Store gives you the same Digital Rights and/or Physical Rights set forth in Section 5.3.3 (as applicable), except that you are not required to pay any License fees in exchange for such rights (“Free Item License”).
5.3.5. Download Period. In the event the Item you Acquired is deleted from the CONNECT Store by the applicable Vendor (“Item Deletion Date”), or in the event that such Vendor’s CLO-SET Account is closed (“Vendor Account Closure Date”) you may continue to download the Item off your account page on CONNECT for two (2) years beyond the date you Acquired such Item.
5.3.6. Right to Sell, Resell, or Otherwise Distribute Items. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this CEULA permits you to Acquire an Item from the CONNECT Store and sell, resell, or distribute those Items through any means other than the CONNECT Store or your own website. In addition, if you choose to sell, resell, or distribute any Items through the CONNECT Store, you must comply with the CONNECT Display and Distribution Agreement (the “CDDA”) set forth in Section 4 of these Terms. In particular, among other provisions, you must comply with provisions of the CDDA pertaining to Prohibited Offers, Permitted Offers, Base Items, Modified Items, and related pricing guidelines.
5.3.7. License to View Only Items. Creators on CONNECT have the option of Uploading content as a View Only Item. This means what it says: the only license that Creators and/or CLO gives you with respect to any View Only Items is a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, limited right and license to (A) view the Item in question and/or (B) “like,” “comment”, or their functional equivalent practices. For the avoidance of doubt, unless a feature like the Embed Function or other sharing function is enabled by the Creator and/or CLO, you do not have the right or license to capture and share, publicize, or disseminate the View Only Item (i.e. by a screenshot for example) without the consent of CLO.
5.3.8. Revocable Licenses. Notwithstanding any other provision of this CEULA, the licenses granted under this Section 5.3 are revocable by CLO if we have reason to believe that you Acquired any Items or are using any of your rights set forth herein in a way that is fraudulent, or violates any law, our Acceptable Use Policy, others’ Intellectual Property rights, or any provision of these Terms.
5.3.9. Use of Data Relating to Your Use of CONNECT.
5.3.9.1. “Raw Data” means data relating to (A) your use of CONNECT and (B) Items you Acquire.
5.3.9.2. “Derived Data” means (A) any new anonymized information or derivative works generated through analysis and/or other processing of Raw Data and (B) any anonymized information generated through monitoring or other observation of your use of CONNECT. Derived Data belongs to us. For clarity, we own all proprietary and intellectual property rights to Derived Data. Such ownership rights shall survive termination or expiration of this CEULA and/or any licenses issued hereunder.
5.3.9.3. You hereby grant CLO and its affiliates a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, perpetual license to collect, process, modify, arrange, aggregate, and analyze your Raw Data, and to make Commercial Use of Raw Data provided that it is aggregated.
5.3.9.4. “Commercial Use” means use for the purposes of our commercial exploitation, including, without limitation, trend analysis, creation of new products or services, and/or improving the CONNECT.
5.3.9.5. Notwithstanding any other provision of this CEULA, nothing in this Section 5.3.9 or this CEULA is intended to abridge any of your rights to your personal data or personally identifiable information under applicable laws and/or regulations. Should you have any questions, concerns, or requests, please contact privacy@clo-set.com. Any data processed by or through CONNECT and qualifies as personally identifiable information or personal data under applicable law (“Personal Data”) will be processed in accordance with such applicable law, our Privacy Policy, and this Section 5.3.9 on the lawful bases of Consent (e.g. your acceptance of our Privacy Policy and this CEULA), Legitimate Interest (e.g. to ensure security and to ensure your compliance with this CEULA), and/or Performance of Contract (i.e. to deliver the Services as set forth in our Terms and this CEULA).
5.4. Feedback. In the course of this CEULA, you may provide comments, suggestions, and recommendations to CLO with respect to CONNECT (including, without limitation, comments, suggestions, and recommendations with respect to modifications, enhancements, improvements, and other changes to the Services) (collectively, “Feedback”). In such an event, CLO may freely use and exploit any such Feedback without any obligation to you, unless otherwise agreed upon by the parties in writing. You hereby assign to CLO any proprietary right that you may have in or to any modification, enhancement, improvement, or change in or to the Services based upon any Feedback from you.
5.5. Ownership/Third Party Licenses. CLO and its licensors own all title, ownership rights, and intellectual property rights in CONNECT. CLO, CLO-SET, CONNECT and their respective logos are trademarks or registered trademarks of CLO and its affiliates in the United States of America and elsewhere. All rights granted to you under this CEULA are granted by express license only and not by sale. No license or other rights shall be created hereunder by implication, estoppel, or otherwise.
