WORKFLOW & AUTOMATION
PROMPT
The AI addendum states that User Data — defined as all inputs, Brain content, files, assets, and materials provided by or on behalf of the User — remains the sole property of the User. Awen is granted only a limited licence to process User Data for the duration reasonably necessary to provide the Services and complete retention, export, backup, security, or deletion processes. No transfer of prompt ownership to Awen is described.
OUTPUT
As between the parties and subject to applicable third-party rights, the User holds all rights in Output Content generated through the Services. Awen explicitly does not represent that intellectual property rights necessarily arise in Output Content, nor that Output Content is unique, registrable, protectable, non-infringing, or free from third-party rights. The User bears sole responsibility for evaluating suitability, conducting clearance, and performing legal analysis before any use or commercial exploitation. Awen retains all rights in Awen Materials and Third-Party Materials, and the assignment of Output Content does not extend to those.
TRAINING
The AI addendum contains an explicit, categorical prohibition: Awen shall not use any Inputs, Output Content, User Data, or other Confidential Information to train, fine-tune, evaluate, develop, or improve any machine-learning models, nor for analytics, benchmarking, product improvement, or any purpose unrelated to providing the Services. Any ML processing of User Data is limited to temporary, transient processing solely to generate Output Content. Awen is also obligated to contract with third-party model providers on terms that prohibit use of User Data to train or improve generally available models, to apply transient-processing or equivalent restrictions where available, and to not knowingly route User Data to provider configurations that use customer content for model training.
COMMERCIAL
The User is granted a limited, non-exclusive, non-sublicensable, non-transferable right to access and use the Services for internal professional business purposes only, subject to payment of applicable fees and compliance with the Terms. The User is solely responsible for the commercial exploitation of Output Content, including all necessary clearance and legal analysis prior to such exploitation. The User may not license, sell, transfer, assign, distribute, outsource, or otherwise make the Services available to third parties except as expressly authorised by Awen. Commercial capacity conditions for enterprise tiers are defined in applicable Subscription Agreements or Order Forms.

WORKFLOW & AUTOMATION
PROMPT
Users retain nominal ownership of their submitted inputs ('Your Inputs'), but grant Focal a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to process that content for operation and maintenance of the Service. Metadata such as keywords or location data associated with content is also collected. Focal reserves the right to remove, edit, or delete any submitted content at any time without prior notice. No explicit assertion that users retain full exclusive ownership is made.
OUTPUT
Focal claims broad rights over outputs. Users are granted only monitoring rights, not exclusive ownership, over 'Your Outputs.' Focal holds a worldwide, royalty-free, transferable, sublicensable, and irrevocable (for so long as content is stored) license to access, use, reproduce, distribute, publish, modify, and otherwise process both inputs and outputs. A separate perpetual, worldwide, royalty-free, transferable, and sublicensable license is also granted specifically for model-training and improvement activities. Output ownership in any strong proprietary sense is not affirmed for users.
TRAINING
Training use is explicitly and broadly confirmed across multiple surfaces. The Privacy Policy states personal information may be used to 'train our artificial intelligence models' and that de-identified or anonymized data may be shared with third parties to train proprietary algorithms or machine learning systems. The AI Addendum separately states users acknowledge and agree that Inputs, Outputs, and all interactions with the Service may be used for training, enhancing, and improving machine learning models and algorithms. No opt-out from training use is described in the cited materials.
COMMERCIAL
Commercial use of outputs is restricted by default. Unless a user has subscribed to a plan that expressly permits it, monetizing, commercializing, or using outputs for any commercial purpose is prohibited. Downloaded or shared content is limited to personal, non-commercial use with required attribution. Reproduction, resale, or exploitation of any portion of the Application or Service requires the Owner's express prior written permission.
