“As part of building the Xbox Services community, you grant to Microsoft, its affiliates and sublicensees a free and worldwide right to use, modify, reproduce, distribute, broadcast, share and display Your Content or your name, gamertag, motto, or avatar that you posted for any Xb…”
Broad, royalty-free, worldwide license granted to Microsoft and sublicensees to use, modify, reproduce, distribute, broadcast, and display user-submitted content with no time limit stated.
“By using the Services, you grant to Playground AI, its successors, and assigns a perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive, sublicensable, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable copyright license to use, copy, reproduce, process, adapt, modify, publish, transmit, prepare Derivative Works…”
Users grant a perpetual, irrevocable, sublicensable, royalty-free license over their text prompts and uploaded images. The license is permanent (survives termination) and allows Playground AI to sublicense, adapt, and distribute inputs with no compensation beyond access to the service.
“players, and third-party material available on Bing and MSN, including through Microsoft bots, applications and programs, are for your noncommercial, personal use only. Other uses, including downloading, copying, or redistributing these materials, or using these materials or prod…”
Outputs/materials from Bing, MSN, and Microsoft bots are restricted to noncommercial personal use only. Using them to build your own products is prohibited unless specifically authorized. All rights not expressly granted are reserved.
“The license to Playground AI survives termination of this Agreement by any party, for any reason.”
Playground AI's license over user inputs and outputs is explicitly stated to survive termination for any reason, meaning the user cannot revoke Playground AI's rights over their content by closing their account.
“As part of our efforts to improve and develop our products, we may use your data to develop and train our AI models. Learn more here .”
Microsoft explicitly reserves the right to use user data to train AI models. This appears twice in the document, suggesting it is a firm policy across products. No opt-out mechanism is described in this excerpt.
“By using the Services, you grant to Playground AI, its successors, and assigns a perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive, sublicensable, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable copyright license to use, copy, reproduce, process, adapt, modify, publish, transmit, prepare Derivative Works…”
The license to 'improve the Services' combined with a perpetual, irrevocable grant strongly implies that inputs and outputs may be used for model training or fine-tuning. No opt-out mechanism is described.
“The articles, text, photos, maps, videos, video players, and third-party material available on Bing and MSN, including through Microsoft bots, applications and programs, are for your noncommercial, personal use only. Other uses, including downloading, copying, or redistributing t…”
Bing and MSN content (including content delivered via Microsoft bots/AI applications) is explicitly limited to noncommercial personal use. Using such content to build products or for commercial purposes requires separate authorization.
“ other than as permitted through an allowable API; (v) reverse assemble, reverse compile, decompile, translate or otherwise attempt to discover the source code or underlying components of models, algorithms, and systems of the Services that are not open (except to the extent such…”
“If you cancel, your access to the Services ends at the end of your current Service period or, if we bill your account on a periodic basis, at the end of the period in which you canceled. If you initiate a chargeback or reversal with your bank for your payment of Services, we will…”
Upon cancellation (or chargeback), content access and data may be immediately or imminently terminated. No grace period for data export is specified in this passage.
“ Playground AI utilizes artificial intelligence systems to produce the Assets. Such Assets may be unintentionally similar to copyright protected material or trademarks held by others. Users are prohibited from creating Assets that infringe third-party intellectual property rights…”
