You are not allowed to use videos or other content created by Pika's AI to build a competing AI video service or product.

This provision restricts downstream commercial use of AI-generated outputs, prohibiting users from using outputs to develop or offer competing products or services, which may have significant implications for developers, researchers, and enterprise users.
Interpretive note: The term 'competing product or service' is not defined in the document, and the scope of this restriction as applied to various developer or enterprise use cases is ambiguous.
Users who intend to use Pika-generated outputs to build AI products or services that compete with Pika's offering are prohibited from doing so under this provision; violation may result in account termination.

"You may not use any Output to compete with Pika, including to develop or offer a competing product or service.— Excerpt from Pika's Pika Acceptable Use Policy
REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: This provision functions as a contractual use restriction on AI-generated outputs. Its enforceability engages contract law and may interact with competition law in certain jurisdictions, particularly in the EU where overly broad restrictions on downstream use of AI outputs may attract scrutiny. The FTC has expressed interest in competitive restrictions in AI markets. GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Medium. The restriction on using outputs to compete with Pika is operationally distinct from standard content moderation provisions and has direct implications for developers and enterprise users. The breadth of the term 'competing product or service' is not defined in the document, creating interpretive ambiguity. JURISDICTION FLAGS: EU competition law may limit the enforceability of broad downstream use restrictions on AI outputs. US antitrust considerations may be relevant if such restrictions are applied in a market-distorting manner. The clause's applicability to individual consumer use of outputs is unclear. CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Developer and enterprise users should carefully assess whether their intended use cases fall within this restriction. Procurement teams should flag this clause as a potential impediment to AI development workflows that involve Pika-generated outputs. COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Organizations building AI products or services should obtain legal review of whether their use of Pika outputs could be characterized as competing with Pika under this provision. The undefined scope of 'competing product or service' warrants clarification before enterprise deployment.
