Pika Terms of Service

This document governs access to and use of Mellis, Inc.'s (Pika) generative AI platform, including its websites, mobile applications, and third-party integrations, establishing a contractual relationship under U.S. law with mandatory arbitration as the primary dispute resolution mechanism. The agreement states that users grant Pika a broad, royalty-free, worldwide, sublicensable license to use, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, translate, distribute, and display user-submitted Inputs and User Content for purposes including service operation, improvement, and AI model training, while the terms assert that Output ownership depends on plan tier and applicable law. Notably, the agreement requires users creating AI Selves to be at least 18 years old and authorizes Pika to retain a profit share of AI Self monetization revenue, while also asserting that AI Selves may operate autonomously on third-party platforms; these provisions, particularly around biometric-adjacent likeness data and autonomous AI agent activity, may require evaluation under emerging state AI and biometric privacy laws. The terms engage the FTC Act (unfair and deceptive practices), COPPA (given the 13-year minimum age threshold), CCPA and state consumer privacy frameworks (given broad data collection and training use disclosures), and potentially Illinois BIPA and similar state biometric laws given likeness and voice data processing; the mandatory arbitration clause with a 30-day opt-out window and class action waiver materially limits collective legal recourse and warrants close attention from compliance and legal teams advising platform users.
