“ 4.1 You are responsible for all Inputs you submit to our Services and corresponding Outputs. By submitting Inputs to our Services, you represent and warrant that you have all rights, licenses, and permissions that are necessary for us to process the Inputs under our Terms. Y…”
“ (g) Necessary Rights. You may not provide Input or create Output for which you do not have all the rights necessary to grant us the license described above. You represent and warrant that the Content and User Voice Models, and our use of the Content and User Voice Models, will n…”
“we grant you a revocable, non-transferable, and non-exclusive right to legally use this product and related services. All other rights not expressly authorized by these Terms are reserved by DeepSeek, and before exercising such rights, you must obtain written permission from…”
The terms do not explicitly assign ownership of generated outputs to users. Combined with DeepSeek's broad reservation of all non-expressly-granted rights, there is no clear statement that users own or receive an unrestricted license to their outputs.
“ (ii) Scope of License. The license granted to you is limited to a non-transferable license to use the Mobile App on any iPhone, iPod touch, iPad, or any other Apple device that you own or control as permitted by the Usage Rules set forth in the Apple App Store Terms of Service.”
“To improve and develop the Services and to train and improve our technology, such as our machine learning models and algorithms. Including by monitoring interactions and usage across your devices, analyzing how people are using it, and training and improving our technology.”
User inputs and interactions are explicitly used to train AI models with no opt-out mechanism described in this section.
“To the extent you own or acquire any intellectual property rights in or to any User Voice Models, you hereby grant to ElevenLabs a license to use, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, translate, create derivative works from, distribute, publicly or otherwise perform and display, an…”
User Voice Models — including voice clones created by users — are subject to the same perpetual, irrevocable, sublicensable license for service improvement and new product development. This effectively means any custom voice model can be used to train ElevenLabs' AI systems indefinitely.
“ (4) Without DeepSeek's authorization, copying, transferring, leasing,”
“You may voluntarily post, submit, or otherwise communicate to us any questions, comments, suggestions, ideas, original or creative materials, or other information about ElevenLabs or our Services (collectively, “ Feedback ”). You understand that we may use such Feedback for any p…”
ElevenLabs claims exclusive ownership of any inventions or improvements derived from user feedback, with no compensation to the user. Users effectively assign IP rights in their feedback-derived innovations to ElevenLabs.
“the right to delete Personal Data you’ve provided to us, or that we’ve obtained about you;”
The policy mentions a deletion right but provides no information on actual retention periods, deletion timelines, or whether model weights trained on user data can be 'deleted'.
“You acknowledge that ElevenLabs may process personal data relating to the operation, support, or use of our Services for our own business purposes, such as billing, account management, data analysis, benchmarking, technical support, product development, research and development o…”
ElevenLabs explicitly reserves the right to use personal data for 'research and development of its AI models' and 'improvement of its systems and technologies' — confirming that personal data (including potentially voice data) feeds AI training pipelines.
“and **Payment Personal Data** are not applicable to DeepSeek App.”
“ (viii) Prohibited Transfers and Misuse. ElevenLabs does not permit or recognize the sale, transfer, gift, trade, or exchange of Prepaid Credits. Any such attempt constitutes a material breach and may result, at ElevenLabs’ discretion, in cancellation or forfeiture of Prepaid Cre…”
