What each vendor's terms say about commercial use

Provenance, and the claim it makes about a different risk

A provenance claim describes where a model's training material came from. It addresses the risk that somebody whose work was used turns up with a claim, and it is neither a permission from the supplier nor cover if a claim arrives. As of 2026-09-22.

Inclusion rule. Phrases that appear in more than one vendor's permissions documents and that change what a sentence means. A phrase used by a single vendor in a single clause is described on that vendor's own page instead. Order. Reading order: where you meet it, then what it settles, then what it does not.

1The worry it is written for

Generated video raises a question no licence answers: what if the model learned from material somebody still owns. A statement about licensed and expired-copyright training content is aimed squarely at that, and nothing else is.

It is a real assurance and a probabilistic one. It makes a claim less likely rather than impossible, and it does not say what happens if one arrives anyway.

2Where it sits in a document, and why that matters

Provenance claims live on marketing and plans pages more often than in terms. A claim on a marketing page and a term in a contract are different artefacts, and only one of them is enforceable.

The question worth asking is whether the same wording appears in the agreement that binds, and what the position is for any partner models offered alongside the supplier's own. Both answers are short.

3Why it gets read as more than it is

Because it uses the words commercial use, which is also the phrase a permission uses. In a slide both become the same tick, and the tick is then relied on for a question neither sentence answers.

Keeping the two in separate columns is the only reliable fix, and it is why a register records where a sentence was found as carefully as what it said.

4A generator's account of it

Alongside the terms behind “Provenance”, SceneMixer's guides describe the work itself this way:

You can recomposite with different end-card text, and in step-by-step mode you can reshoot individual segments. The finished file can also be downloaded and shared with a link.

The final cut ends on an end card: your main image plus four lines — Brand, Product name, Tagline, Call to action. The first two are read from your photo and your brief; the tagline and call to action are written with the script.

5Where the sourced wording is

A word page, not an entry in the register: nothing above is attributed to any vendor and nothing above is legal advice. The quoted clauses are on commercial use, the column this phrase turns up in is commercial use from, and the reading rules are on the reading page. Next words: Training data, Opt-out, Public generation.
