“We claim no ownership rights in your User Content. You hereby grant to us a perpetual, irrevocable, nonexclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable, fully paid, worldwide license to create derivative works from, access, reproduce, distribute, process, publish, display, perform, adapt,…”
Despite claiming no ownership, Descript takes an extremely broad, perpetual, irrevocable, sublicensable license over all user content including name and likeness, across all current and future media channels, with no compensation.
“ iv. User Content, text, scripts, images, audio, video, prompts, Avatars and other materials you upload or create through the Services, together with associated metadata such as time of creation, file format and device information.”
“We claim no ownership rights in your User Content. You hereby grant to us a perpetual, irrevocable, nonexclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable, fully paid, worldwide license to create derivative works from, access, reproduce, distribute, process, publish, display, perform, adapt,…”
Descript disclaims ownership of user content but takes back a sweeping perpetual, irrevocable license to outputs/edited content. The scope of 'improve the Descript Service' is broad and could encompass model training.
“ Enforcement: We reserve the right (but have no obligation) to review any Customer Content/ Output, and to investigate and/or take appropriate action against you in our sole discretion if you violate the Acceptable Use Policy or any other provision of these Terms or otherwise cre…”
“You hereby grant to us a perpetual, irrevocable, nonexclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable, fully paid, worldwide license to create derivative works from, access, reproduce, distribute, process, publish, display, perform, adapt, modify, analyze, and otherwise use the User Content…”
The license to 'analyze' and 'improve the Descript Service' could encompass AI model training on user content. There is no explicit opt-out mechanism referenced in the visible text.
“ We do not use your User Content, Inputs, Output or Designs to train or fine-tune our proprietary artificial intelligence or machine-learning models.”
“Additional content libraries (the “Additional Libraries”) are not subject to this license, may not be available for commercial use without a license, and may require that you obtain model clearance.”
Additional Libraries outside Storyblocks may require separate commercial licenses and model clearances, creating potential legal exposure for users who assume all platform content is commercially usable.
“ e. Content safety and mandatory reporting. We use automated systems to detect content that breaches our Acceptable Use Policy or applicable law, including sexual content involving minors, graphic violence and other prohibited material. Where the law requires us to do so, we pres…”
“Personalize and improve the Descript Service and for research and development purposes including training our artificial intelligence models;”
User data (including uploaded content) may be used to train AI models. An opt-out exists for Projects specifically, but this broad statement covers other collected information without a clear opt-out.
“If you provide Personal Information when you use any of these features, that Personal Information may be publicly posted and otherwise disclosed without limitation as to its use by us or by a third party.”
Personal Information submitted to public forums may be disclosed 'without limitation' to both InVideo and third parties. This is an extremely broad disclosure clause that effectively waives privacy protections for any content posted in public areas.
“ Scope of License. The license granted to you is limited to a non-transferable license to use the Mac App on any iPhone, iPod touch or iPad that you own or control as permitted by the Usage Rules set forth in the Apple App Store Terms of Service.”
