What each vendor's terms say about commercial use

Who carries the risk if generated output infringes

Four vendors publish something on what happens if output infringes someone's rights. One describes its models as safe for commercial use because of how they were trained. One ties its commercial grant to clean inputs. Two state that responsibility sits with the user, one of them adding that it gives no warranty and no indemnity. As of 2026-10-13.

Where infringement risk landsA training-data claim addresses the model. A condition on inputs puts the risk on what the user uploads. A statement of no warranty and no indemnity leaves it with the user for output and inputs alike, and the model services underneath add terms of their own.Further from the userModel services underneathTheir own terms apply to commercial use.The toolTraining-data claims, or no warranty and no indemnity.The user's inputsUploads must be clean for some grants to hold.Where most published rules point

What each vendor publishes about infringement risk in generated output, and who it leaves holding it. Recorded 2026-10-13.

Inclusion rule. Vendors whose pages address infringement, warranty or responsibility for output. Terms of service that were not read for this register are not counted. Order. Alphabetical by vendor.

1Training data is where the one reassurance comes from

One vendor's claim rests on what its models learned from: licensed content and public domain content whose copyright has expired. That is the only row here that offers comfort about the output itself, and it does so by describing the input to the model rather than by warranting any particular clip.

2Everyone else puts it with the user, some more plainly than others

One licence says the user is solely responsible for outputs and their uses. One guide says there is no warranty that output infringes nobody's rights and no indemnity, that responsibility for what is generated and what was fed in sits with the user, and that liability is capped against what the user paid. It adds that commercial use is also subject to the terms of the model services underneath, which it does not control.

That last point is worth reading twice. A tool that routes generation to several model providers inherits their terms as well as its own, and a brand review that reads only the tool's page has read half the stack.

3A condition on inputs is a condition on the grant

Where a commercial grant holds only while inputs avoid copyright violations, an infringing upload reaches the licence as well as the rights holder. That moves the clearance work to the start of the job, which is where a brand's own process should already have put it.
