What it is

The agreement grants users a limited, non-transferable license to use the platform, with commercial use rights for AI-generated content varying by subscription tier and requiring users to review their specific plan for applicable rights.

ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

This provision establishes that the scope of permissible commercial exploitation of AI-generated outputs is determined by the user's active subscription plan, creating a tiered rights structure. Users who rely on generated content for commercial purposes must confirm that their subscription tier explicitly permits such use.

Interpretive note: The specific commercial use rights applicable to each subscription tier are not defined within the ToS itself but deferred to subscription plan documentation, which may change independently.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

Under these terms, the commercial use rights applicable to AI-generated images and videos are not uniform across all users and are specifically conditioned on the subscription plan in effect at the time of generation. Users operating under free or lower-tier plans may have restricted or no commercial use rights for generated outputs.

What you can do

⚠️ These actions may provide transparency or partial mitigation but may not fully address the underlying issue. Effectiveness varies by jurisdiction and individual circumstances.
