“ Short version: We own the service and all of our content. In order for you to use our content, we give you certain rights to it, but you may only use our content in the way we have allowed. ”
“YOU GRANT US A NONEXCLUSIVE, WORLDWIDE, ROYALTY-FREE, IRREVOCABLE, SUBLICENSABLE, AND FULLY PAID-UP RIGHT TO ACCESS, COLLECT, USE, PROCESS, STORE, DISCLOSE AND TRANSMIT ANY DATA, INFORMATION, CONTENT, RECORDS OR FILES (“ CONTENT ”) THAT YOU LOAD, SUBMIT, TRANSMIT TO OR ENTER INTO…”
The license grant over user inputs is irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free, and sublicensable—meaning Cohere retains these rights even if the user terminates their account. The scope is extremely broad.
“ GitHub and our licensors, vendors, agents, and/or our content providers retain ownership of all intellectual property rights of any kind related to the Website and Service. We reserve all rights that are not expressly granted to you under this Agreement or by law. The look and f…”
“All right, title and interest, including intellectual property rights, in the Cohere Solution, the source code in the software we use to provide the Cohere Solution (the “ Software ”) and all other materials provided by us hereunder, and any updates, adaptation, translation, cust…”
Cohere claims sole ownership of the Cohere Solution and 'all other materials provided by us hereunder' including derivative works. It is ambiguous whether AI-generated outputs are 'materials provided by' Cohere and thus owned by Cohere rather than the user.
“ You grant GitHub and our Affiliates the right to store, host, archive, parse, display, and make copies of Your Content as necessary to provide, develop, and improve the Service, including by training AI Features, and for the purpose of training, developing, and improving artific…”
“Section 2.3 (Research and Model Improvement): Analyzing usage patterns and using Trial or Research User Inputs/Outputs to improve the performance and safety of our AI models. Content you submit to the Cohere Products, and outputs generated by the Cohere Products. Legitimate…”
Cohere uses Trial and Research user inputs and outputs for model training/improvement under 'legitimate interests' rather than consent, giving users limited ability to object. Paid/Enterprise users may have different treatment but this is not clarified here.
“ Vendors, Partners, and Affiliates: We may receive information about you from third parties, like vendors, resellers, partners, or affiliates for the purposes outlined in this statement.”
“you further represent and warrant to and covenant with Cohere that you will not (and will not attempt to) directly or indirectly: disable, overly burden, impair, or otherwise interfere with servers or networks connected to the Cohere Solution (e.g., a denial of service att…”
Commercial exploitation of the Cohere Solution itself is prohibited without prior written permission, which significantly restricts resale, white-labelling, or embedding scenarios.
“ Our Services are not intended for individuals under the age of 13. We do not intentionally gather Personal Data from such individuals. If you become aware that a minor has provided us with Personal Data, please notify us .”
“The use of cookies for this purpose may be considered a “sale” or “sharing” under California privacy law.”
Platform acknowledges its advertising cookie practices may constitute a 'sale' or 'sharing' of personal data under CCPA/CPRA.
“ You must be age 13 or older. While we are thrilled to see brilliant young coders get excited by learning to program, we must comply with United States law. GitHub does not target our Service to children under 13, and we do not permit any Users under 13 on our Service. If we lear…”
“EXCEPT FOR ANY SPECIFIC WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS PROVIDED IN AN APPLICABLE SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT OR AS OTHERWISE REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW”
Warranty and other protections may differ for users with a separate Subscription Agreement (typically paid/enterprise tiers), but the specific differences are not disclosed in this document.
