IMAGE / VIDEO / AUDIO GENERATION
PROMPT
Users retain ownership of prompts and lyrics submitted to Udio. Udio is granted a license to use inputs and outputs for platform operation and improvement.

TRAINING
Udio explicitly grants itself a 'royalty free, fully paid-up, transferable, sub-licensable, assignable, worldwide, perpetual and irrevocable' license to use 'Your Content' (inputs and content you post) including 'to train or otherwise improve or modify our artificial intelligence and machine learning model(s) related to the Services.' This training license is part of the standard ToS without opt-out.
COMMERCIAL
Commercial use is technically permitted per Udio's ToS, but the underlying training data copyright lawsuit creates significant legal risk for commercial use of Udio-generated music.
