WORKFLOW & AUTOMATION
PROMPT
Not explicitly addressed as a distinct surface. Customer Data is licensed to Company under a broad worldwide license (see training_use citation), but the terms do not contain a specific clause addressing who owns prompt inputs. Company exclusively owns the Service and all related IP. Customer Data protection is addressed under confidentiality obligations.
OUTPUT
Not explicitly addressed for AI-generated outputs. However, feedback or suggestions provided by Customer or Authorized Users are subject to an unlimited, irrevocable, perpetual, sublicensable, royalty-free license granted to Company for any purpose, with no compensation obligation. The agreement is non-assignable by Customer without Company's prior written consent, which may limit Customer's ability to transfer output-related rights.
TRAINING
Customer grants Company a worldwide, non-exclusive license to access, use, copy, distribute, perform, and display Customer Data explicitly for 'developing, training, and improving Company's machine learning models, including large language models, and artificial intelligence algorithms.' This license also covers maintaining and updating the Service and sharing data with third-party service providers (e.g., hosting providers) acting on Company's behalf. No opt-out mechanism for training use is specified in the cited terms.
COMMERCIAL
Customer is prohibited from: reverse engineering or decompiling the Service; creating derivative works; using the Service for timesharing, service bureau, or third-party benefit purposes; sublicensing, reselling, or redistributing the Service; and accessing the Service to build a competitive product or service. The Service is classified as a 'commercial item' under FAR section 2.101 and DFAR section 252. Company retains all rights, title, and interest in the Service, including modifications and derivative works.

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.
