This provision creates a material operational limitation for customers building AI-powered voice synthesis products, as the agreement withholds the distribution and service-offering rights granted under Section 1.1.2 specifically for Custom TTS Applications. The independent content rights requirement places a due diligence obligation on customers regarding underlying voice training data or reference inputs.
The agreement limits Custom TTS Applications to internal use only, meaning customers may not commercialize, distribute, or offer voice synthesis products built on NVIDIA AI Software as an external service, and must separately verify they hold rights to any content used to generate synthetic voice output.
