“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.
“ Automated decisions are made by technological means, mostly based on algorithms subject to predefined criteria. Such automated decision-making, taken solely by technological means without any human intervention, may have legal effects or similarly significant effects on you. ”
“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.
“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.
“To develop or improve our Applications and any of our related products and services using relevant personal data included in content submitted or uploaded to our Applications by users under a ‘Free’ subscription. For the avoidance of doubt, this does not include any content submi…”
Free-tier users' submitted/uploaded content (excluding mobile app content) is explicitly used to train AI models, with no opt-out mechanism described. Users may not realise their content fuels model training.
“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.
“ Data subjects include the data exporter’s users, employees and third parties with whom it has, or may develop, a commercial relationship.”
“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.
“By using the Applications and/or our services, you are giving us your explicit consent to make automated decisions. If you do not consent to our making automated decisions, you must not use our Applications or services.”
The platform claims 'explicit consent' to automated decision-making (including legally significant decisions) merely by virtue of using the service — a take-it-or-leave-it approach that may not meet GDPR standards for freely given, specific consent.
“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.
