What it is

You are not allowed to use anything Suno generates for you to build a competing service or to train other AI models. This applies to both the music outputs and any voice models you create.

This analysis describes what Suno's agreement states, permits, or reserves. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Regulatory applicability and practical outcomes may vary by jurisdiction, enforcement context, and individual circumstances. Read our methodology

The updated terms establish new age eligibility requirements: users under 13 are prohibited entirely; users 13-17 may access the Service only with express parental consent. The terms now require users who do not accept the updated language to close their account within 30 days of the effective date or before their renewal date, whichever occurs first. Continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the new Terms. You can review the full terms at https://www.suno.com/terms and choose to close your account before the deadline if you do not agree to the updated provisions.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

If you are a developer, musician, or researcher hoping to use Suno-generated outputs to build your own tools or train other AI systems, the terms prohibit this and breach could result in account termination and potential legal action. For ordinary users who just want to make and share music, this restriction is unlikely to be practically relevant.
