“ Ownership; Restrictions: The technology and software underlying the Service or distributed in connection therewith are the property of Suno, its affiliates, and its licensors (the "Software"). You agree not to copy, modify, create a derivative work of, reverse engineer, reverse…”
“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.
“use the Services (and any Output or Voice Model) to create, develop or improve any competing products or services or to power, enable or train other artificial intelligence and machine learning models, tools or technologies;”
Users are prohibited from using outputs or Voice Models to train competing AI/ML systems or build competing products, significantly restricting downstream use of generated content.
“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.
“We use certain User Activity Information, Submissions, Interactive Chat Information, and other Content to improve our Services, product offerings, promotional activity, and business, including to train and enhance the models that power our Services as it is in our legitimate inte…”
Suno explicitly uses user Submissions, Interactive Chat Information (including prompts), and other Content to train and enhance its AI models, justified under 'legitimate interests' with no opt-out mechanism described for this use.
“ (4) Without DeepSeek's authorization, copying, transferring, leasing,”
“use the Services (and any Output or Voice Model) to create, develop or improve any competing products or services or to power, enable or train other artificial intelligence and machine learning models, tools or technologies;”
Users are prohibited from using Outputs or Voice Models to train any other AI/ML models or tools. This restricts legitimate downstream AI development use cases and is broader than a simple non-compete.
“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 Suno may establish general practices and limits concerning use of the Service, including the maximum period of time that data or other content will be retained by the Service and the maximum storage space that will be allotted on Suno's or its third-part…”
Suno can delete all user Submissions and Outputs upon account inactivity or at any time it changes its retention practices, with no defined notice period and no obligation to notify users. Users risk permanent loss of their content.
“and **Payment Personal Data** are not applicable to DeepSeek App.”
“ Refunds and Cancellations: Payments made by you hereunder are final and non-refundable, unless otherwise determined by Suno.”
