Same questions.
Distro
WORKFLOW & AUTOMATION
PROMPT
Customer retains all right, title, and interest in and to Customer Data, which encompasses inputs submitted to the Platform. Distro is explicitly prohibited from reselling or enabling direct third-party use of Customer Data without express written consent. However, Customer Data may be accessed by Distro during the Order Term to provide the Platform and Services, and both during and after the Order Term to create aggregated, anonymized, and de-identified Aggregate Data for Platform improvement and AI Tool training. Ownership of prompts as raw Customer Data remains with Customer; downstream anonymized derivatives are not addressed as Customer property.
OUTPUT
The terms do not contain an explicit, dedicated citation addressing ownership of AI-generated outputs. Distro retains all right, title, and interest in the Distro Technology, including enhancements, improvements, and derivatives. Outputs are not expressly carved out as Customer property, nor are they expressly assigned to Distro in a standalone clause. Notably, Distro is authorized to use Inputs, Outputs, and related metadata on an aggregated, anonymized, and de-identified basis to train or improve AI Tools, suggesting Distro treats outputs as usable platform data. Output ownership as a discrete topic is not directly addressed in the provided citations.
TRAINING
Distro explicitly reserves the right to use Inputs, Outputs, and related metadata — on an aggregated, anonymized, and de-identified basis — to train or improve AI Tools. Additionally, Customer expressly authorizes Distro to use Customer Data both during and after the Order Term to create Aggregate Data for Platform improvement, including AI Tool training. A limiting protection exists: Distro shall not use or enable use of Customer Data to train any AI Tool for any other customer or third party (i.e., cross-customer raw data training is prohibited). Training use is therefore permitted but scoped to anonymized/aggregated forms and Distro's own platform improvement purposes.
COMMERCIAL
Customers are prohibited from a broad range of commercial misuse of Distro Technology, including sublicensing, reselling, competitive benchmarking, building competing products, reverse engineering, scraping, and creating derivative works. Distro is correspondingly prohibited from reselling or enabling direct third-party use of Customer Data without express written consent. The Distro Technology is classified as developed entirely at private expense and provided as commercial computer software. No citations address Customer's right to commercialize outputs derived from the Platform.

WORKFLOW & AUTOMATION
PROMPT
Users are granted a non-exclusive, limited, non-transferable, and freely revocable right to access and use the Service for personal or internal business purposes. Separately, qualifying subscribers receive a non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable API license during their Subscription term. Critically, users grant The Forecasting Company an irrevocable, perpetual, transferable, sublicensable (through multiple tiers), fully paid, royalty-free, worldwide license to use, copy, store, modify, distribute, reproduce, publish, create derivative works of, and display User Content — which would encompass submitted prompts — for service provision, product improvement, data analysis, customer research, new feature development, usage trend identification, and industry benchmark creation. Users do not own their User Account and possess no rights to data stored on The Forecasting Company's servers.
OUTPUT
Users may use Service Output for internal business purposes on a royalty-free basis, but use of the Service and its Output does not transfer any Intellectual Property Rights in the Output to the user. The Forecasting Company retains the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to limit a user's use of Output or require cessation and deletion of copies at any time, if it believes such use may infringe third-party rights. Users are explicitly prohibited from representing Output as human-generated or using Output to train their own machine learning models. The Service may generate identical or similar Output for multiple users.
TRAINING
Users are explicitly prohibited from using any Service content — including captions, keywords, or metadata — for machine learning or AI training purposes. However, the broad User Content license granted to The Forecasting Company expressly includes use for 'improving our products and the Service' and 'developing new products or features,' which encompasses potential model training on submitted User Content. An opt-out mechanism is available: if a user opts out, The Forecasting Company will not use that user's User Content after opt-out to train its machine-learning models or improve the Service. Pre-opt-out use is not addressed.
COMMERCIAL
Users are prohibited from using the Service for commercial solicitation purposes and from copying, reselling, sublicensing, distributing, modifying, or creating derivative works of the Service or The Forecasting Company's Intellectual Property, including via automated scraping. Commercial users engaged in arbitration are responsible for their own JAMS filing, administrative, and arbitrator fees, with any award including costs and reasonable attorneys' fees. All liability disclaimers and terms apply to all users regardless of personal or commercial use. The Service is classified as commercial computer software for government users.
