“You agree that any suggestion or idea provided by you (such suggestions or ideas, “ Feedback ”) will not be treated as confidential, and nothing in these Terms of Use will restrict our right to use, profit from, disclose, publish or otherwise exploit any Feedback, without compens…”
Feedback submitted by users — which could be interpreted broadly to include prompts or suggestions provided to the platform — is subject to a perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free worldwide license with no compensation to the user.

“For Trial Users and Researchers (i.e. users interacting with Cohere Products on research-specific platforms like Hugging Face, Cohere Labs grantee users, or users demoing Cohere Products under a free trial account), we collect content you submit to the Cohere Products, and output…”
Trial Users and Researchers have their inputs and outputs used for model training and R&D by default, with no explicit opt-out described in this section.
“Operate, maintain and improve our internal operations, systems, Sites, and Products”
The policy does not explicitly address whether user content is used for AI/ML model training. 'Improve Products' could encompass training use, but this is not confirmed or denied.
“use the Cohere Solution or any Content that You receive through or from the Cohere Solution for the purpose of building a similar or competitive product or service;”
Users are expressly prohibited from using outputs to build competing or similar products/services, significantly restricting downstream commercial development.
“ g. Service interruption caused by measures taken in accordance with regulatory requirements of the competent authority, such as prohibitions or similar notices issued by the competent authority involving your account, service or equipment;”
“Safeguards, Retention and Privacy Governance”
The document references a 'Safeguards, Retention and Privacy Governance' section but does not provide its content in the supplied text. Retention periods and deletion rights cannot be assessed from this excerpt.
“We use this information to reshare content created through the use of the Service. The processing is necessary for our legitimate interests (to develop our service and inform our marketing strategy).”
Information from social network interactions can be reshared by LangGenius for marketing strategy purposes under a 'legitimate interests' basis without explicit user consent.
“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.”
Model training use of inputs/outputs is explicitly scoped to 'Trial or Research Users', implying paid or enterprise users may not have their data used for training. However, this distinction is not clearly defined elsewhere in the extracted text, creating ambiguity about which tier a given user falls into.
“Dify is free for students and educators.”
No terms or conditions are specified for the student/educator free tier—it is unclear whether it matches the Sandbox tier, has separate restrictions, or requires verification. Users cannot assess their rights or obligations from this statement alone.
