This is the Terms of Service for Leonardo AI, an AI image and video generation platform operated by Leonardo Interactive Pty Ltd, covering account creation, content generation, intellectual property rights, subscription terms, and acceptable use. The agreement grants Leonardo AI a worldwide, royalty-free, sublicensable license to use, reproduce, modify, and distribute content users create or upload on the platform, including generated outputs, for purposes that include platform operation and improvement of AI models. The agreement prohibits users under 18, restricts generation of explicit content to designated platform areas, and reserves to Leonardo AI the right to suspend or terminate accounts at its sole discretion.
This document governs access to and use of Leonardo AI's AI-powered creative platform, operated by Leonardo Interactive Pty Ltd (Australia), and establishes the contractual basis under which registered users may generate, share, and commercially exploit AI-generated content. The agreement states that users grant Leonardo AI a broad, worldwide, royalty-free, sublicensable, and transferable license to use, reproduce, modify, distribute, and create derivative works from user-submitted content and generated outputs for platform operation and improvement purposes, and the terms authorize Leonardo AI to terminate accounts, remove content, or suspend access at its sole discretion without prior notice. The agreement asserts that generated outputs may be used commercially by users subject to subscription tier conditions, but simultaneously reserves a co-extensive license to the same outputs for Leonardo AI's own use, creating a dual-ownership structure that may raise questions under applicable copyright frameworks given the unsettled legal status of AI-generated content ownership. The document engages privacy frameworks including the Australian Privacy Act, GDPR for EU/EEA users, and CCPA for California residents, with Leonardo AI's Australian incorporation creating a cross-jurisdictional compliance posture across multiple data protection regimes. Material compliance considerations include the handling of user-submitted training data, the absence of a documented opt-out mechanism for AI model training uses of uploaded content, and age restriction enforcement obligations given the platform's prohibition on use by persons under 18 years of age.

View change record →This new provision makes commercial rights contingent on subscription tier and shifts burden to users to understand limitations, without specifying what rights each tier includes.
This new indemnification clause requires users to cover Leonardo AI's legal costs and liabilities arising from user activity, significantly shifting legal risk and financial exposure to users.
This new provision prohibits scraping and automated access, protecting Leonardo AI's service infrastructure and preventing bulk data extraction by users.
This replaces the previous capped liability (AUD $100 or 3 months fees) with a blanket exclusion of all consequential and indirect damages, eliminating meaningful financial recourse for users regardless of harm severity.
Removal of explicit AI-specific disclaimers and fitness-for-purpose warnings reduces transparency about output limitations and removes user guidance to seek independent advice.
Removal of this provision eliminates clarity about Leonardo AI's ownership of aggregated and de-identified data, potentially obscuring data ownership and usage rights.
Severity escalated from medium to high; license scope expanded to include 'any and all media or distribution methods now known or later developed' and removed limiting phrase 'for the purpose of providing and improving our Services and Platform,' making the license broader and less restricted.
Severity escalated from medium to high; removed requirement for 'on notice to you' and specific grounds (a-e), replacing them with 'without prior notice or liability' and 'for any reason whatsoever and without limitation' under 'sole discretion.'
Minimum age requirement increased from 13 to 18 years old, and parental consent option eliminated in favor of absolute prohibition for users under 18.
Governing law jurisdiction changed from Victoria to New South Wales, Australia, and exclusive jurisdiction requirement removed (no longer specifies exclusive court jurisdiction).
Changed from 'reasonable advance notice' for materially adversely affecting provisions to 'will try to provide at least 30 days notice,' and added 'What constitutes a material change will be determined at our sole discretion,' removing the previous standard and giving Leonardo AI unilateral determination power.
