Runway
· Runway Terms of Service
Runway can use the prompts you submit and the AI-generated content it produces for you to train and improve its AI systems, and this right is permanent and cannot be taken back even if you delete your account or stop using the service....
Why it matters: The license is irrevocable, perpetual, transferable, and sublicensable, meaning Runway retains the right to use your creative inputs and generated outputs for AI training indefinitely and can pass that right to third parties, even after you stop using the service....
-
Runway
· Runway Terms of Service
Disputes with Runway must generally be resolved through individual binding arbitration rather than court proceedings, and you cannot join a class action lawsuit against the company unless you opt out of this provision....
Why it matters: The arbitration clause covers disputes that arose before the effective date of the agreement, which is operationally distinct from standard arbitration provisions that apply prospectively only, and may affect users' ability to pursue claims related to past conduct....
-
23andMe
· 23andMe Terms of Service
If you have a dispute with 23andMe, you are required to resolve it through individual arbitration rather than by filing a lawsuit in court or joining a class action claim....
Why it matters: This provision removes the ability to participate in a class action lawsuit or demand a jury trial, which are typical mechanisms for consumers to collectively challenge widespread company practices or recover losses that individually may be too small to litigate alone....
-
23andMe
· 23andMe Terms of Service
The company's financial responsibility to users for claims arising from the services is limited, and the agreement states that payments are generally non-refundable except where required by law....
Why it matters: This provision limits the monetary recovery available to users who experience harm from genetic testing errors, data incidents, or service failures, which may result in recoverable amounts being materially lower than actual harm suffered....
-
Runway
· Runway Privacy Policy
When you use certain Runway features to generate video or audio, the service collects your voice recordings and face scan data, which are classified as biometric identifiers under some state laws. Runway states it uses this data only to fulfill the service you requested....
Why it matters: Biometric data such as voice prints and facial geometry receives heightened legal protection under state statutes including the Illinois Biometric Information Privacy Act, and collection without required written consent, retention schedules, or destruction policies may create legal exposure for both Runway and enterprise customers deploying these features to their own users....

Canva
· Canva Terms of Use
When you upload or create content on Canva, you give Canva the right to use, copy, share, and modify that content to operate and promote its services, including sharing it with partner companies....
Why it matters: This license is worldwide, sublicensable, and transferable, meaning Canva can share the right to use your content with third parties and successors, which may include content uploaded by business users containing proprietary or confidential information....
-
Canva
· Canva Terms of Use
If something goes wrong with Canva's service and you want to make a legal claim, the most money you can recover from Canva is capped at either what you paid in the last year or AUD $100, whichever is higher....
Why it matters: For free-tier users, the practical liability ceiling is AUD $100 regardless of the nature or extent of loss, which may significantly limit financial recourse in the event of data loss, service failure, or unauthorized use of content....
-
Canva
· Canva Terms of Use
If you have a legal dispute with Canva, you agree to pursue it individually rather than as part of a group lawsuit, and you give up the right to a jury trial if the case goes to court....
Why it matters: Class action waivers limit users' ability to pursue collective legal remedies against Canva, which is particularly significant for disputes involving small individual losses that would be uneconomical to pursue individually but viable as class claims....
-
Canva
· Canva Privacy Policy
Canva states it may use designs, images, text, and other content you create or upload on its platform to train and improve its AI tools and general product features....
Why it matters: This provision is significant because it asserts that user-generated content, which may include proprietary business designs, personal photos, or confidential documents, can be used for AI model training purposes, subject to controls described elsewhere in the policy....
-
Canva
· Canva Privacy Policy
Canva's general policy does not apply to children under 13 using its education product; a separate Children's Privacy Policy governs that context, and schools are described as the intermediary responsible for obtaining appropriate consent....
Why it matters: The school-as-intermediary model for child data consent is a common but legally sensitive structure under COPPA, and whether it satisfies verifiable parental consent requirements depends on the specific contractual terms agreed with educational institutions and applicable state student privacy laws....
-
Waze
· Waze Privacy Policy
Waze collects your precise GPS location, speed, routes, and travel times while the app is running, using this data to power navigation and to improve its maps and services....
Why it matters: This provision establishes that precise location and detailed driving behavior data are collected continuously during app use, creating a comprehensive record of a user's physical movements and travel patterns....
-
Waze
· Waze Privacy Policy
Because Waze is owned by Google, the data Waze collects about you may be combined with your data from other Google products like Search, Maps, or YouTube, and used according to Google's broader privacy policy....
Why it matters: This provision authorizes the transfer of Waze-specific location, behavioral, and device data to Google's broader data infrastructure, where it may be integrated with data from other Google services to build a more comprehensive user profile....
-
Amazon
· Amazon Conditions of Use
If you have a legal dispute with Amazon, you generally cannot sue in court or join a class action lawsuit. Instead, disputes must go through private arbitration on an individual basis under AAA rules....
Why it matters: This provision requires individual arbitration for most disputes, waiving the right to jury trial and class action participation, which limits the ability to pursue collective claims for widespread issues....
-
Amazon
· Amazon Conditions of Use
Amazon limits its financial liability to you to a maximum of $100 or the amount you paid Amazon in the past 12 months, and excludes liability for consequential, punitive, or incidental damages entirely....
Why it matters: This clause caps the financial recovery available to consumers regardless of the actual harm suffered, including in cases involving incidental or consequential losses, and extends the exclusion to Amazon's suppliers....
-
Amazon
· Amazon Conditions of Use
Amazon can terminate your account or access to its services at any time, for any reason, without advance notice and without any obligation to compensate you....

Runway
· Runway Usage Policy
You cannot use Runway to make fake videos or images of real people that are designed to trick people into thinking they are real, or to impersonate someone without their permission....
Why it matters: This provision directly addresses one of the most significant societal risks associated with AI video and image generation tools: the creation of deceptive synthetic media depicting real individuals, including public figures and private persons....
-
Runway
· Runway Usage Policy
It is absolutely prohibited to use Runway to create any sexual images, videos, or other content involving minors....
Why it matters: This prohibition reflects both a categorical ethical restriction and a legal obligation under federal and international law; violations may constitute criminal offenses under statutes governing child sexual abuse material regardless of whether the content is AI-generated....
-
Runway
· Runway Usage Policy
You cannot use Runway to create fake sexual images or videos of real people without their consent, including AI-generated intimate content that uses a real person's likeness....
Why it matters: Non-consensual intimate imagery causes severe harm to depicted individuals and is addressed by an increasing number of state and federal statutes; this provision establishes Runway's policy alignment with legal prohibitions on AI-generated NCII....
-
Threads
· Threads Privacy Policy
If you want to permanently delete your Threads account, you must also delete your Instagram account. You cannot keep Instagram while removing Threads permanently....
Why it matters: This provision means users cannot exercise a standalone right to delete their Threads data and profile without also losing their Instagram account and all associated data, which may affect how users evaluate deletion as a practical option....
-
Perplexity AI
· Perplexity Enterprise Terms
Perplexity makes no guarantee that the AI-generated answers or search results are accurate, complete, or fit for any particular business purpose. The service is provided without any warranty....
Why it matters: This provision means that if an employee or end user relies on a Perplexity AI output that turns out to be incorrect, the enterprise customer has no warranty claim against Perplexity. The terms place the entire risk of AI output accuracy on the customer....
-
Perplexity AI
· Perplexity Enterprise Terms
If an employee or authorized user of the enterprise customer misuses Perplexity's service and a third party makes a legal claim as a result, the enterprise customer must cover Perplexity's legal costs and any damages, not Perplexity....
Why it matters: This clause shifts significant legal and financial exposure onto the enterprise customer for actions taken by their employees or end users when using the service. If an employee uses Perplexity in a way that causes harm to a third party, the enterprise customer, not Perplexity, bears the legal and financial consequences....
-
Perplexity AI
· Perplexity Enterprise Terms
If Perplexity's service causes your business harm, the maximum amount you can recover from Perplexity is limited to what you paid them in the previous 12 months, and you cannot recover lost profits or other indirect losses....
Why it matters: This provision caps the financial recovery available to enterprise customers regardless of the severity of a service failure or data incident. Combined with the AI output accuracy disclaimer, this means enterprise customers bear most of the financial risk from service failures or inaccurate AI outputs....
-
Perplexity AI
· Perplexity Enterprise Terms
If employees submit personal data to Perplexity while using the service, a separate data processing agreement governs how that data is handled. That separate document is incorporated into this contract by reference....
Why it matters: The DPA is a critical companion document for GDPR and CCPA compliance, but it is incorporated by reference rather than appended to the main agreement. Enterprise customers must review the DPA separately to understand their data protection obligations and Perplexity's commitments as a data processor....
-
Meta
· Llama Community License Agreement
You cannot use Meta's Llama 3 model or any content it generates to train, fine-tune, or improve any AI model that is not itself based on Llama 3....
Why it matters: This clause restricts a core technical workflow in AI development, prohibiting licensees from using Llama 3 outputs as training data for any competing or alternative large language model, which may affect organizations running multi-model AI development programs....
-
Meta
· Llama Community License Agreement
If a product built on Llama 3 reaches more than 700 million monthly active users, the standard license no longer applies and you must separately ask Meta for permission to continue operating, which Meta can grant or deny at its discretion....
Why it matters: This clause creates a binding scaling threshold that terminates standard license rights for large platforms, requiring affirmative action to obtain continued authorization from Meta, with Meta retaining sole discretion over whether to grant that authorization....
-
Meta
· Llama Community License Agreement
If you violate any term of this agreement, Meta can end your license, and you must stop using and delete the Llama 3 model and all related materials. Certain obligations, including restrictions and liability terms, continue even after termination....
Why it matters: The agreement authorizes Meta to terminate the license for any breach and requires immediate deletion of all Llama Materials, which for organizations that have integrated Llama 3 into production systems could require significant operational disruption....
-
ElevenLabs
· ElevenLabs Usage Policy
You cannot use ElevenLabs to create a copy of a real person's voice unless that person has explicitly agreed to it first, whether they are famous or not....
Why it matters: This provision is central to the policy because voice cloning without consent is one of the primary potential misuse vectors of AI audio synthesis technology, and violations can result in account termination as well as potential legal liability for the user....
-
ElevenLabs
· ElevenLabs Usage Policy
You cannot use ElevenLabs to create sexual or intimate audio content involving a real person unless they have explicitly consented to it....
Why it matters: Non-consensual intimate synthetic audio (sometimes called audio NCII) causes serious harm to victims and is increasingly subject to criminal penalties in multiple jurisdictions; this provision signals ElevenLabs' policy position on this category of misuse....
-
ElevenLabs
· ElevenLabs Usage Policy
You cannot use ElevenLabs to create audio designed to trick people into thinking a real person said something they did not, spread false information, or interfere with elections....
Why it matters: This provision addresses one of the most socially significant risks of AI voice technology, specifically the generation of synthetic audio designed to manipulate public opinion or deceive audiences, and it has direct implications under emerging synthetic media election laws....
