“ Ownership; Restrictions: The technology and software underlying the Service or distributed in connection therewith are the property of Suno, its affiliates, and its licensors (the "Software"). You agree not to copy, modify, create a derivative work of, reverse engineer, reverse…”
“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.
“use the Services (and any Output or Voice Model) to create, develop or improve any competing products or services or to power, enable or train other artificial intelligence and machine learning models, tools or technologies;”
Users are prohibited from using outputs or Voice Models to train competing AI/ML systems or build competing products, significantly restricting downstream use of generated content.
“**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.”
“We use certain User Activity Information, Submissions, Interactive Chat Information, and other Content to improve our Services, product offerings, promotional activity, and business, including to train and enhance the models that power our Services as it is in our legitimate inte…”
Suno explicitly uses user Submissions, Interactive Chat Information (including prompts), and other Content to train and enhance its AI models, justified under 'legitimate interests' with no opt-out mechanism described for this use.
“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.
“use the Services (and any Output or Voice Model) to create, develop or improve any competing products or services or to power, enable or train other artificial intelligence and machine learning models, tools or technologies;”
Users are prohibited from using Outputs or Voice Models to train any other AI/ML models or tools. This restricts legitimate downstream AI development use cases and is broader than a simple non-compete.
“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.
“You acknowledge that Suno may establish general practices and limits concerning use of the Service, including the maximum period of time that data or other content will be retained by the Service and the maximum storage space that will be allotted on Suno's or its third-part…”
Suno can delete all user Submissions and Outputs upon account inactivity or at any time it changes its retention practices, with no defined notice period and no obligation to notify users. Users risk permanent loss of their content.
“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.
“ Refunds and Cancellations: Payments made by you hereunder are final and non-refundable, unless otherwise determined by Suno.”
