“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.
“ 13. Indemnity. To the fullest extent permitted by law, you are responsible for your use of the Service, and you will defend and indemnify Anysphere, its affiliates and each of their respective shareholders, directors, managers, members, officers, employees, consultants, and agen…”
“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.
“ 5.1. Service. Anysphere and its licensors shall own and retain all right, title and interest in and to the Service, all improvements, enhancements or modifications thereto, and all intellectual property rights associated with the foregoing. There are no implied licenses in these…”
“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.
“ 1.4. Limitations for Suggestions. You acknowledge that Suggestions are generated automatically by machine learning technology and may be similar to or the same as Suggestions provided to other customers, and no rights to any Suggestions generated, provided, or returned by the Se…”
“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.
“ Please note that this Privacy Policy does not apply where Anysphere acts as a data processor and processes personal data on behalf of commercial customers using our commercial services, for example, if your employer has provisioned a Cursor account for you to use at work. Our 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.
“Anysphere retains your personal data only for as long as necessary to operate the Service effectively and to support legitimate business needs such as legal compliance, safety, dispute resolution, and enforcement of our agreements. The appropriate retention period varies dependin…”
No specific retention periods are stated. 'As long as necessary' and 'legitimate business needs' are vague standards. Safety and system monitoring data is retained for an unspecified 'limited duration' even for ephemeral interactions.
“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.
“ 1.6. Beta Services . From time to time, Anysphere may make Beta Services available to you. Beta Services shall be clearly designated as beta, pilot, limited release, non-production, early access, evaluation or a similar description. You may choose to use or not use such Beta Ser…”
