“**9.1** We own all intellectual property rights in our Services (including our Platform). This includes how our Platform looks and functions, as well as our copyrighted works, trademarks, inventions, designs and other intellectual property, including Our Materials. You agree not…”
“You grant, an irrevocable, perpetual, transferable, sublicensable, royalty-free, and worldwide right to xAI to use, copy, store, modify, distribute, reproduce, publish, display in public forums, list information regarding, make derivative works of, and aggregate your User Content…”
The license granted to xAI over user inputs is irrevocable, perpetual, transferable, sublicensable, and royalty-free, covering virtually any purpose. This is an extremely broad grant that survives account termination and cannot be revoked by the user.
“**7.2** Subject to your Consumer Law Rights, the Generated Content is provided “as is” without warranties of any kind, either expressed or implied, including but not limited to warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title or non-infringement. We disclaim…”
“**Similarity of content.** Due to the nature of artificial intelligence, outputs may not be unique, and different users may receive similar output from our Service. Your rights to the Output do not extend to other's rights.”
“For Service improvement (including analytics and machine learning):** We may analyse your Content and related data in your account to improve the Service, and to train our algorithms, models, and AI products and services using machine learning to develop, improve and provide our…”
By default, user content is used for model training. Opt-out requires a paid subscription and use of the private generation mode — free-tier users have no opt-out.
“Electing whether your User Content is used for product development or model training.** When logged into our Service, you can select whether or not you want us to use your User Content to improve our products and services and train our models. Private Chat and User Content that y…”
Logged-in users have an opt-out choice for training use, but unauthenticated users are granted no opt-out and automatically grant 'full rights' to their data for model training. The opt-out for logged-in users also does not fully override the irrevocable license granted elsewhere in the Terms.
“- our [privacy policy](https://leonardo.ai/privacy-policy) and our [data processing addendum](https://leonardo.ai/data-processing-addendum) (on our website) which each set out how we handle the Personal Data of our users and commercial customers (as applicable);”
“Using the Service or any Output to develop models or services that compete with xAI, scraping or reselling any Input or Output, or distilling model data”
Users are prohibited from using outputs to develop competing models or services, or from reselling outputs. This restricts legitimate commercial applications of generated content.
“**10.5** You must only disclose Personal Data to us if you have the right to do so (such as having the individual’s express consent).”
“By choosing to login to our Service by using a third-party service, such as Google, Apple, or X, you give us permission to access, use, and store your information from that service, as permitted by that service, which may include log-in credentials and/or access tokens for that s…”
Third-party login grants xAI permission to access and store credentials and tokens. The optional X integration allows ingestion of extensive personal data including post history, location, and account preferences, creating a significant data aggregation risk.
“With a paid subscription, you have control over who can see your generated Content. When you use private mode, your generated Content cannot be accessed or used by other users. If private mode is turned off, your Content is considered public and can be accessed and used by other…”
Free-tier users have no privacy controls: all generated content is public by default, indexed by search engines, and accessible to other users. This is a significant tier-based privacy disparity.
