This page describes what the document states, permits, or reserves. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Regulatory applicability may vary by jurisdiction. Methodology
This Terms of Use agreement establishes the operational framework for users of Stability AI's content generation services, including Stable Diffusion and related products. The agreement grants Stability AI a license to user-submitted content, establishes restrictions on permitted uses of AI-generated outputs, and authorizes account suspension or termination without advance notice. The terms incorporate an Acceptable Use Policy that identifies prohibited use cases and grounds for account termination.
This document governs access to and use of Stability AI's website, products, and AI services, establishing a contractual relationship between Stability AI (a UK-registered entity) and users who access its platforms. The terms authorize Stability AI to collect user data, impose usage restrictions on AI-generated outputs, reserve the right to modify or suspend access without prior notice, and require users to comply with an Acceptable Use Policy governing permissible content generation. The agreement includes a broad intellectual property clause granting Stability AI a license to user-submitted content, and the liability limitation provisions cap the company's financial exposure while placing significant responsibility on users for outputs generated through the platform. The document engages GDPR and UK GDPR frameworks given Stability AI's UK registration and likely EU user base, as well as FTC consumer protection standards for US users, and the EU AI Act given the AI generative nature of the services; jurisdictional applicability of specific consumer protection carve-outs will depend on where users are located. Material compliance considerations include the adequacy of consent mechanisms for data processing of user inputs, the scope of the content license relative to GDPR data subject rights, and alignment of the Acceptable Use Policy with emerging AI-specific regulatory obligations under the EU AI Act.
