“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.
“By using the Services, you grant to Playground AI, its successors, and assigns a perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive, sublicensable, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable copyright license to use, copy, reproduce, process, adapt, modify, publish, transmit, prepare Derivative Works…”
Users grant a perpetual, irrevocable, sublicensable, royalty-free license over their text prompts and uploaded images. The license is permanent (survives termination) and allows Playground AI to sublicense, adapt, and distribute inputs with no compensation beyond access to the service.
“ The Cohere Solution and all materials provided by us hereunder are made available or licensed and not “sold” to you. ”
“The license to Playground AI survives termination of this Agreement by any party, for any reason.”
Playground AI's license over user inputs and outputs is explicitly stated to survive termination for any reason, meaning the user cannot revoke Playground AI's rights over their content by closing their account.
“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.
“By using the Services, you grant to Playground AI, its successors, and assigns a perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive, sublicensable, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable copyright license to use, copy, reproduce, process, adapt, modify, publish, transmit, prepare Derivative Works…”
The license to 'improve the Services' combined with a perpetual, irrevocable grant strongly implies that inputs and outputs may be used for model training or fine-tuning. No opt-out mechanism is described.
“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.
“ other than as permitted through an allowable API; (v) reverse assemble, reverse compile, decompile, translate or otherwise attempt to discover the source code or underlying components of models, algorithms, and systems of the Services that are not open (except to the extent such…”
“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.
“ Playground AI utilizes artificial intelligence systems to produce the Assets. Such Assets may be unintentionally similar to copyright protected material or trademarks held by others. Users are prohibited from creating Assets that infringe third-party intellectual property rights…”
“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.
“Playground AI offers a free and paid Service. You can learn more about our paid subscription offering here or within our mobile application.”
The document references free and paid tiers but does not detail the substantive differences in rights, data handling, or feature access between them within the terms document itself.
