Stability AI Terms of Service

This is Stability AI's Terms of Service, which sets the rules for using their AI image and content generation tools, including their API and consumer products. The most important thing to know is that by submitting prompts or content to Stability AI's services, you grant the company a broad license to use that content — including your inputs — to improve their AI models, and you are personally responsible if the AI generates content that infringes someone else's copyright or breaks the law. Read the acceptable use policy carefully before generating content commercially, and check whether your jurisdiction requires additional rights such as data deletion under GDPR or CCPA.

This document is Stability AI's Terms of Service governing user access to Stability AI's AI-powered content generation platform, API, and related services, operating under English law with Stability AI Ltd (a UK-registered entity) as the contracting party. The most significant obligations include users granting Stability AI a broad, royalty-free, worldwide license to use submitted content (including prompts and generated outputs) for service improvement, users bearing full responsibility for ensuring their outputs comply with applicable law and do not infringe third-party intellectual property rights, and users agreeing not to use services to generate harmful, deceptive, or unlawful content. Notable deviations from industry standard include the breadth of the content license granted to Stability AI over user inputs, the placement of indemnification obligations primarily on users for third-party IP infringement claims arising from AI-generated content, and Stability AI's reservation of the right to modify or terminate services with limited notice. The document engages GDPR (as a UK-based entity post-Brexit, UK GDPR applies; EU GDPR applies to EEA users), the EU AI Act (given the generative AI nature of the service), the UK Online Safety Act considerations, CCPA for California residents, and the FTC Act Section 5 regarding unfair or deceptive practices; compliance teams should note the interaction between broad content licensing provisions and GDPR Article 6 lawful basis requirements, as well as EU AI Act transparency obligations for general-purpose AI systems.
