Act One By Runway
WORKFLOW & AUTOMATION
PROMPT
Users retain responsibility for all content they upload or submit ('Your Content,' including Inputs). However, by using the Services, users grant Company a fully paid, royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, non-exclusive, transferable, and sublicensable license to host, use, distribute, reproduce, modify, adapt, publicly perform, and publicly display Your Content for operating and providing the Services. A separate, equally broad license is granted for any Inputs and Outputs 'Made Available' or generated during use. Users have no expectation of privacy concerning transmission of Your Content. Company has no obligation to store Your Content unless separately agreed in writing, and may remove it at sole discretion.
OUTPUT
Company grants users only a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable software license for personal or internal business use. Simultaneously, users grant Company a non-exclusive, irrevocable, perpetual, worldwide, royalty-free, transferable, and sublicensable license to use any Inputs and Outputs generated in connection with the Services. A similarly broad license applies to Feedback. When Outputs are publicly posted, users represent they hold perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide rights to that content — but the Company's concurrent broad license over those same Outputs is not waived. No citation explicitly assigns copyright ownership of Outputs to the user.
TRAINING
Users explicitly acknowledge that Inputs and Outputs may be used by Company to train and improve its AI models, algorithms, and related technology, products, and services — including for labeling, classification, content moderation, and model training purposes. This is stated as an acknowledgment, not a consent toggle, suggesting it is a baseline condition of use. Users are simultaneously prohibited from using the Services or Outputs to create, train, develop, or improve similar or competitive products or services.
COMMERCIAL
Company does not restrict users' commercial use of their Outputs, subject to compliance with the Agreement. No additional licensing fee or approval process for commercial use of Outputs is cited. However, users are prohibited from using Outputs to build competing or similar AI products or services. Users must indemnify Company for losses arising from their Content or use of the Services, but the terms note this indemnity obligation does not cover unconscionable commercial practices, fraud, or deception by Company itself.

Velvet
WORKFLOW & AUTOMATION
PROMPT
The Privacy Policy states users are responsible for ensuring anyone appearing in their content has consented to recording and sharing. Velvet may use personal information, including Task Submissions, for research and development purposes. No explicit clause addresses user retention of ownership over prompt inputs; the AI Addendum's broad assignment and licensing language (see output_ownership_summary) effectively extends to all submitted content. Prompt ownership as a standalone topic is not directly addressed.
OUTPUT
Velvet claims near-total ownership of Task Submissions. Users irrevocably assign all right, title, and interest — including copyrights and all Intellectual Property Rights — to Velvet on a perpetual, universe-wide basis, and waive all moral rights. Where assignment is legally incomplete, users grant Velvet and its affiliates a perpetual, irrevocable, freely transferable, sublicensable, fully paid-up, royalty-free exclusive license covering all exploitation rights in any media, by any technology, now or hereafter known, throughout the universe. Velvet also receives a perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free right to use the user's name, image, likeness, and biographical information in connection with Task Submissions without further consent or compensation. Velvet explicitly retains the right to sell or license Task Submissions to other users and third parties.
TRAINING
Training use is the platform's stated core purpose. Velvet's Privacy Policy explicitly discloses that it provides a platform for video creators to deliver Task Submissions for the purpose of third-party AI companies training artificial intelligence models; that these third parties may use Task Submissions to train AI; that it collects, uses, or sells personal data for the purpose of training large language models (LLMs); and that it licenses Sensitive Personal Information to third-party AI companies for AI model training if the user instructs or explicitly consents. The AI Addendum confirms the grant to Velvet includes the right to use Task Submissions to train artificial intelligence and machine learning models and to license or sell Task Submissions to Velvet's customers for that purpose.
COMMERCIAL
Velvet prohibits users from using the Service for commercial solicitation purposes and from copying, renting, selling, sublicensing, reselling, distributing, modifying, or creating derivative works of the Service or Velvet's Intellectual Property. Conversely, Velvet itself discloses collecting and sharing personal information for targeted advertising business purposes, disclosing personal information categories to business-purpose recipients, and explicitly retains the right to sell or license user Task Submissions to other users and third parties. De-identified or aggregated usage data may be shared with third parties for any lawful business purpose.
