111Our General Terms of Use is a legal agreement between you and Adobe. We know this language can seem complex, so as you're reading through our terms, we are providing summaries as a helpful overview of what you're agreeing to. Only the terms themselves are legally binding, not these summaries.

313In any business relationship, you agree to a set of terms. These terms are our agreement with you for the use of Adobe products.

5These General Terms of Use ("**General Terms**"), along with any applicable Product Specific Terms (see section 1.2 (Product Specific Terms) below) (collectively, the "**Terms**") govern your use of and access to our websites, web-based applications and products, customer support, discussion forums or other interactive areas or services, and services such as Creative Cloud (collectively, the "**Services**") and your installation and use of any software that we include as part of the Services, including, without limitation, mobile and desktop applications, Sample Files and Content Files (defined below), scripts, instruction sets, and related documentation (collectively, the "**Software**"). If you have agreed to the Subscription and Cancellation Terms ([https://www.adobe.com/legal/subscription-terms.html](https://www.adobe.com/legal/subscription-terms.html)), then such terms are also considered part of the Terms. If you are using and accessing the Services and Software through Adobe's Value Incentive Plan ("VIP") program, then the Subscription and Cancellation Terms do not apply to you, but the remainder of the Terms will govern your use of and access to the Services and Software. If you have entered into another agreement with us concerning specific Services and Software, then the terms of that agreement control where it conflicts with the Terms.

3170#### Section 1.3 means:
3271
3372If you're using an individual Adobe plan, you have control over your content and the work you create. If you're using a business plan, your organization has access to and control over your work.
3473
3574If you received an "**Entitlement**" (which is defined as the right to use, access, and consume the Services and Software) from an organization or group, including but not limited to a business or any other commercial entity, government entity, non-profit organization, or educational institution (each, a "**Business**") under one of Adobe's business plans (such as Creative Cloud for Teams, Creative Cloud for Enterprise, or Document Cloud), then (A) you are a "**Business User**" of such Business; (B) your Adobe profile associated with such Entitlement is a "**Business Profile**"; and (C) all references to "you" in the Terms will mean such Business and its Business Users, as applicable. If you are a Business User, you agree that, due to your receipt of Entitlements from such Business, (1) Adobe may provide such Business with the ability to access, use, remove, retain, and control your Business Profile and all Content therein whether uploaded or imported before or after the date the Terms were last updated; (2) your use of the Services and Software is governed by such Business's agreement with Adobe; and (3) Adobe may provide your personal information to such Business. Access to complimentary Entitlements ("Complimentary Services") may be provided to any users added to a Business's Admin Console (as defined in the Business Customers Additional Terms set forth in Section 1.2), and such users would be considered Business Users. If you are a Business User with Entitlements from multiple Businesses, you may have separate Business Profiles associated with each Business. As a Business User, you may have different agreements with or obligations to a Business, which may affect your Business Profile or your Content (defined in 4.1). Adobe is not responsible for any violation by you of such agreements or obligations. If you did not receive Entitlements from a Business (e.g., you subscribed to a Creative Cloud for individuals plan and received Entitlements through this plan), then (a) you are a "**Personal User**"; (b) your Adobe profile is a personal profile; (c) you maintain sole access and control over all Content in your personal account or personal profile (except as otherwise indicated in the Privacy Policy); and (d) all references to "you" in the Terms will mean you as an individual. If you receive Entitlements through a personal plan and from a Business, then you are both a Personal User and a Business User. You are a Personal User when you utilize the Entitlements you obtained through your personal plan, and you are a Business User when you utilize your Entitlements provided by a Business.

39As a Personal User or a Business User, you may create an Adobe account using an email address provided or assigned to you by a Business (such as your work email address). If the Business establishes a direct relationship with us, they may want to add your account to such relationship. If this happens, the Business may, with prior notice from the Business or us, roll your account into the Business's account. This means the Business may (A) access the account; (B) take control over the account and any Content therein whether stored, uploaded, or imported before or after the date the Terms were last updated; and (C) recommend any non-Business Content associated with such account to be moved to a new account that utilizes an email address not associated with such Business. You, as a Personal User with an Adobe account assigned to a Business or a Business User, also acknowledge that Adobe may provide your personal information to such Business (including, for clarity, sharing your information with an administrator of your Business), such as your name, email address and Entitlement information. If you do not want a Business to access, use, remove, retain, or control an account or profile, then do not use a Business email address with that account. Information regarding Content storage and access, and how you may change the email address associated with your account may be found here: [https://adobe.com/go/business-storage-helpx](https://adobe.com/go/business-storage-helpx). Adobe may share information about the Business, such as name and email address of the administrator, to a Business User.

485543
486544You agree to notify Adobe of any dispute and try to resolve it amicably. If that doesn't work, the dispute will be decided either in small claims court or through arbitration. But let's try the amicable route first.
487545
488If you have any concern or dispute that Adobe Customer Care is unable to resolve ("Claim"), you agree to first try to resolve the dispute informally and in good faith by contacting us and providing a written Notice of Claim to the address provided in section 18.2 (Notice to Adobe). The Notice of Claim must provide Adobe with fair notice of your identity, a description of the nature and basis of your Claim, and the relief you are seeking, including the specific amount of any monetary relief you are seeking, and cannot be combined with a Notice of Claim for other individuals. If any dispute related to your Claim is not resolved within 30 days of receipt, any resulting legal actions must be resolved through either small claims court or final and binding arbitration, including any dispute about whether arbitration is required for the dispute, subject to the exceptions set forth below. Neither party shall initiate legal action until 30 days after the Notice of Claim is received. This agreement to arbitrate shall apply, without limitation, to all claims that arose or were asserted before the effective date of the Terms. The arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, shall have the exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability or enforceability of the Terms or formation of the Terms, including whether any dispute between us is subject to arbitration (i.e., the arbitrator will decide the arbitrability of any dispute) and whether all or any part of these Terms are void or voidable. Claims related to the Terms, Services, or Software are permanently barred if not brought within one year of the event resulting in the Claim.

503561
504562Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may elect to have any Claim that is subject to the jurisdiction of small claims court decided in small claims court in Santa Clara County, California, USA, or the county of your residence. If either party files a Claim in arbitration that could have been brought in small claims court, the other party may provide notice that it wants the case decided in small claims court before the appointment of an arbitrator, and the arbitrator shall administratively close the case before assessing any fees, and the party bringing the Claim must proceed in small claims court in lieu of arbitration. Any dispute about whether a Claim qualifies for small claims court shall be resolved by that court, not by an arbitrator. In the event of any such dispute, the arbitration proceeding shall remain closed unless and until a decision by the small claims court that the Claim should proceed in arbitration. Additionally, either party shall be entitled to apply for preliminary injunctive remedies (or an equivalent type of urgent legal relief) in any jurisdiction, such as in the event of your or others' unauthorized access to or use of the Services or Software in violation of the Terms. If a party has a dispute in which they seek to obtain both preliminary injunctive relief and other forms of relief, the party may go to court to seek preliminary injunctive relief but must arbitrate its claims or seek relief in small claims court for all other forms of relief.
