AI Content Generation & Licensing Terms

These Terms govern all synthetic characters, images, videos, derivatives, prompts and other Outputs generated via Corny Studio dashboard/API and supplement the MSA. In any conflict concerning ownership or use of Outputs, these Terms prevail.

Customer retains rights to its lawfully supplied Input and grants Provider a non-exclusive, limited, revocable upon deletion or expiry license to host, reproduce, transform, transmit and process Input only to deliver contracted Services, perform necessary safety/security checks, comply with law and furnish support. No general-purpose training permission is granted. Customer is responsible for securing rights to uploaded reference assets and all identifiable persons’ likenesses, voices and personal data.

Subject to full payment of the applicable fees and compliance with law, Provider hereby grants Customer a worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable (except where continued exploitation itself is unlawful or infringes third-party rights), non-exclusive, royalty-free, fully paid-up license, to the extent of Provider’s rights in each Output, to reproduce, publish, display, distribute, communicate, monetize, advertise, edit, adapt, create derivatives, incorporate into audiovisual or interactive products, and otherwise commercially exploit the Output in any existing or future media. Customer may sublicense these rights to affiliates, distributors, hosting providers, payment providers, platform operators and end customers as reasonably necessary for exploitation, and may transfer them in connection with sale of the relevant product/business. Rights in Provider Technology embedded in or necessary to operate the Corny Studio platform are excluded; no API or model source license is granted.

The Output license survives expiry, non-renewal, termination, switching providers and later competition with the Provider or any of its affiliates or customers. Customer is not required to remove pre-existing lawful Outputs solely because its subscription ended. This does not extend ongoing access to the Service, generation capacity, expired stock assets owned by third parties or rights Provider was never entitled to license.

The Parties acknowledge that AI-generated material may not receive copyright protection in some jurisdictions absent sufficient human creative authorship. Provider transfers no greater rights than it possesses. The perpetual contractual license is an authorization by Provider, not a guarantee that Outputs are protectable or exclusive against independent creation. Provider shall not knowingly deliver one Customer’s confidential, uniquely instructed characters or unreleased Customer-specific Outputs to another customer, but independent output similarity is possible.

Customer-created character names, original biographies, designs, storylines, trademarks and other rights lawfully owned by Customer remain Customer property. To the extent Provider has copyright or neighboring rights in custom Outputs prepared on Customer’s instructions, the license under Section 3 applies. Provider-owned starter characters, preset templates, model styles, stock components or catalog assets remain Provider’s or licensors’ property and are licensed only to the extent and for the usage duration separately disclosed in the product or Order Form. Provider may not use Customer-specific confidential characters as its own promotional examples or for another client without written permission.

Provider shall not train, fine-tune, distill or evaluate generalized AI models on Customer Input, custom character libraries, Outputs, private prompts, or media assets; shall impose equivalent prohibitions on relevant upstream vendors; and shall not place Customer Inputs or private Outputs into shared prompt libraries, showcase catalogs or reference repositories accessible to other customers. Processing for generating the requested Output and narrowly necessary abuse detection is permitted subject to confidentiality, privacy and purpose limitation.

Customer may generate and exploit lawful fictional adult-only sexual content where the particular workflow is permitted by Provider’s AUP and applicable law. The appearance, characterization, context and references used must unequivocally depict adults. No minor, minor-appearing, age-ambiguous sexual content, CSAM or purportedly consensual synthetic childhood depiction is permitted. Customer may not use any real individual’s recognizable face, body, voice or intimate appearance for explicit or nude content without documented specific informed consent covering AI generation and commercial distribution, and Provider may prohibit such use regardless of asserted consent.

Each Party shall comply with its own obligations as an AI provider or deployer under applicable rules. Provider shall maintain technically and legally required machine-readable generation markings where applicable. Customer shall preserve applicable watermarks/provenance metadata when reasonably feasible and make the AI/deepfake disclosures legally required for its downstream products. Customer may not remove legally mandated provenance or evade necessary age/access controls.

Some Outputs may be subject to provider-disclosed third-party license constraints or recognizable protected rights. Provider shall specify material known constraints prior to Customer use where practicable. Upon a credible rights claim or legal demand, Parties shall cooperate in investigation and proportionate limitation of access; Provider may block further generation without automatically voiding existing lawful licenses. Customer remains responsible for final publication decisions, subject to Provider’s own legal duties.

Provider receives no right to publish, commercially license, sell, share, market, showcase or train on Customer content except by separate prior written authorization that identifies material and permitted uses.

Provider makes no representation that an Output is unique, registrable as intellectual property, free of independent third-party rights or suitable for an unreviewed legal or reputational use. Customer should review Outputs before publication.
