Cohere Coral
WORKFLOW & AUTOMATION
PROMPT
Cohere takes extremely broad rights over user inputs: "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...THAT YOU LOAD, SUBMIT, TRANSMIT TO OR ENTER INTO THE COHERE SOLUTION."
OUTPUT
Cohere's Terms do not explicitly address ownership of AI-generated outputs.
TRAINING
User data is used to improve and enhance the Cohere Solution. Cohere may share fine-tuning data with third parties: "COHERE WILL NOT SHARE A CUSTOM MODEL WITH ANY THIRD PARTY BUT MAY SHARE FINETUNING DATA USED TO FINETUNE OR TRAIN A CUSTOM MODEL WITH THIRD PARTIES."
COMMERCIAL
B2B-focused platform. Commercial use governed by the enterprise subscription agreement.

Focal
WORKFLOW & AUTOMATION
PROMPT
Users retain nominal ownership of their submitted inputs ('Your Inputs'), but grant Focal a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to process that content for operation and maintenance of the Service. Metadata such as keywords or location data associated with content is also collected. Focal reserves the right to remove, edit, or delete any submitted content at any time without prior notice. No explicit assertion that users retain full exclusive ownership is made.
OUTPUT
Focal claims broad rights over outputs. Users are granted only monitoring rights, not exclusive ownership, over 'Your Outputs.' Focal holds a worldwide, royalty-free, transferable, sublicensable, and irrevocable (for so long as content is stored) license to access, use, reproduce, distribute, publish, modify, and otherwise process both inputs and outputs. A separate perpetual, worldwide, royalty-free, transferable, and sublicensable license is also granted specifically for model-training and improvement activities. Output ownership in any strong proprietary sense is not affirmed for users.
TRAINING
Training use is explicitly and broadly confirmed across multiple surfaces. The Privacy Policy states personal information may be used to 'train our artificial intelligence models' and that de-identified or anonymized data may be shared with third parties to train proprietary algorithms or machine learning systems. The AI Addendum separately states users acknowledge and agree that Inputs, Outputs, and all interactions with the Service may be used for training, enhancing, and improving machine learning models and algorithms. No opt-out from training use is described in the cited materials.
COMMERCIAL
Commercial use of outputs is restricted by default. Unless a user has subscribed to a plan that expressly permits it, monetizing, commercializing, or using outputs for any commercial purpose is prohibited. Downloaded or shared content is limited to personal, non-commercial use with required attribution. Reproduction, resale, or exploitation of any portion of the Application or Service requires the Owner's express prior written permission.
