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.

MARKETING / CONTENT
PROMPT
Shopify does not take ownership of user-submitted Materials but requires a broad, transferable, royalty-free license including the right to create derivative works.
OUTPUT
AI output ownership is not explicitly addressed in Shopify's general terms. The broad license Shopify claims over all Materials may extend to AI-generated content.
TRAINING
Shopify requires a broad license grant over all merchant-submitted Materials (Section 8.1). For Shopify Magic specifically, the 'Enhanced Services' section (Section 9.2) allows Shopify to use customer interaction data from your store, other merchants, and Shopify itself to enhance AI-powered features (called 'Shopify Network Intelligence'). This is opt-out — merchants can disable Shopify Network Intelligence at admin.shopify.com/settings/privacy. Shopify's feedback is also licensed without compensation (Section 10).
COMMERCIAL
Shopify merchants use AI-generated content commercially by design. The platform's purpose is commercial; however, Shopify itself can also use merchant content for promotion.
