Summary

Pika's Terms of Service govern what you can do with content you create on the platform, how disputes are handled, and what financial remedies are available if something goes wrong. When you use the Service, Pika may use your content—including what you put in and what comes out—to train its AI, and you grant Pika a broad license to use and distribute that content. If you want to monetize your AI Self, you can only do so through Pika's platform, Pika takes a revenue share, and most disputes must be handled through individual arbitration rather than in court—though you can opt out of arbitration within 30 days of signing up.

Analysis

Pika's Terms of Service establish the rights and obligations governing use of its AI-generation platform, including a broad worldwide, royalty-free, transferable, sublicensable license to User Content, and an acknowledgment that Pika may use Inputs, Outputs, and interactions to train and develop its machine learning models. The document restricts AI Self creation, operation, and Content monetization to users aged 18 and older, limits AI Self monetization to within the Services while Pika operates the AI Self, and prohibits redistribution or licensing for external monetization without Pika's prior written consent—with Pika retaining a plan-specified profit share of AI Self revenue. Pika's aggregate liability is capped at the greater of amounts paid in the six months preceding a claim or $100, and excludes indirect, incidental, special, consequential, and exemplary damages. Disputes are subject to mandatory individual arbitration administered by NAM with a class-action and jury-trial waiver, though users may opt out of the arbitration provisions by written notice within 30 days of first registration or agreement. All subscription payments are non-refundable with no credits for partially used periods.

What this means for you

Pika's financial liability to you is capped at the greater of what you paid in the six months before a claim or $100, and subscription payments are non-refundable. You can opt out of the mandatory arbitration and class-action waiver provisions by sending written notice to Pika within 30 days of first registering for the Service or first agreeing to these terms.
