“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.
“ (b) This Agreement does not grant Customer any intellectual property license or rights in or to the Spellbook AI Platform or any of its components, except to the limited extent that such rights are necessary for Customer's use of the Spellbook AI Platform as specifically au…”
“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.

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.

Commercial exploitation of the Cohere Solution itself is prohibited without prior written permission, which significantly restricts resale, white-labelling, or embedding scenarios.

“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.
