“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.

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.
Lovo

Users own generated creative outputs. Platform retains personal license to index generated catalog unless toggled to private.
“ While we may edit and make format changes to your content (such as translating or transcribing it, modifying the size, layout, file type, or removing metadata), we will not modify the meaning of your expression.”

Commercial Use
Descript
HIGH⚠ CAUTIONHIGH
Commercial use of user-generated outputs is permitted. Specific commercial licensing applies to Storyblocks stock material.
“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.
Lovo
MED⚠ CAUTIONMED
Commercial use is permitted on paid profiles. Free trial creations carry personal-use attribution restrictions.
“ Some examples of use cases that require separately authorized resell rights not included in any of the Subscription include web and mobile applications that resemble, access or provide a gateway to LOVO’s core functionality for re-sale by you to third parties.”
