AI21 Labs
DEVELOPER / CODING
PROMPT
API customers own all prompts and inputs submitted to AI21 Labs models. AI21 Labs processes inputs to generate text outputs.
OUTPUT
API customers own the outputs generated by AI21 models. AI21 Labs does not assert IP over API outputs.
TRAINING
The AI21 Labs Website ToS grants AI21 a 'worldwide, irrevocable, non-exclusive, royalty-free, perpetual, sublicensable (through multiple tiers), and transferable right and license' to use 'Your Content' for AI21's business. However, the Privacy Policy explicitly states: 'not use data obtained from these APIs to develop, improve, or train any machine learning or AI models beyond the user's own personalized experience.' This API-specific no-training commitment materially limits the broad website ToS license for API customers. The website ToS covers non-commercial personal use of the website; enterprise API governed by separate agreements.
COMMERCIAL
Commercial use is fully permitted for API customers. AI21's Jurassic models and Wordtune are used commercially.

ENTERPRISE SEARCH / PRODUCTIVITY
PROMPT
Customer data and queries are not used to train public AI models. LexisNexis processes content via a private, closed-loop AI implementation.
OUTPUT
Users retain rights to generated legal research, drafts, and analysis. LexisNexis does not claim IP ownership over outputs generated.
TRAINING
Explicit contractual prohibition on using Materials to train LLMs. Section 4.3(b) warrants that Subscriber inputs and Subscriber Files will not be used to train any LLM. Section 4.4 confirms LN does not claim IP rights in AI outputs. Opt-out of AI cloud failover available via 30 days written notice (Section 4.6).
COMMERCIAL
Full commercial use in legal practice is the core use case. Generated research and drafts may be used in client matters and legal workflows.
