“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.
“ Ownership; Restrictions: The technology and software underlying the Service or distributed in connection therewith are the property of Suno, its affiliates, and its licensors (the "Software"). You agree not to copy, modify, create a derivative work of, reverse engineer, reverse…”
“ publish, market, advertise or in any way distribute the Content;”
“use the Services (and any Output or Voice Model) to create, develop or improve any competing products or services or to power, enable or train other artificial intelligence and machine learning models, tools or technologies;”
Users are prohibited from using outputs or Voice Models to train competing AI/ML systems or build competing products, significantly restricting downstream use of generated content.
“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.
“We use certain User Activity Information, Submissions, Interactive Chat Information, and other Content to improve our Services, product offerings, promotional activity, and business, including to train and enhance the models that power our Services as it is in our legitimate inte…”
Suno explicitly uses user Submissions, Interactive Chat Information (including prompts), and other Content to train and enhance its AI models, justified under 'legitimate interests' with no opt-out mechanism described for this use.

“use the Services (and any Output or Voice Model) to create, develop or improve any competing products or services or to power, enable or train other artificial intelligence and machine learning models, tools or technologies;”
Users are prohibited from using Outputs or Voice Models to train any other AI/ML models or tools. This restricts legitimate downstream AI development use cases and is broader than a simple non-compete.
“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.
“You acknowledge that Suno may establish general practices and limits concerning use of the Service, including the maximum period of time that data or other content will be retained by the Service and the maximum storage space that will be allotted on Suno's or its third-part…”
Suno can delete all user Submissions and Outputs upon account inactivity or at any time it changes its retention practices, with no defined notice period and no obligation to notify users. Users risk permanent loss of their content.
“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.
“ Refunds and Cancellations: Payments made by you hereunder are final and non-refundable, unless otherwise determined by Suno.”
