Commercial rights for AI outputs

Whether and under what conditions you may use generated content in products, marketing, or sales, as set by the vendor's terms.

Definition

Rights depend on plan and vendor: free tiers often restrict outputs to personal use or require attribution, while paid plans grant commercial licences. Copyright protection of purely machine-generated works varies by jurisdiction, and platform rules for monetised content add further constraints. Keeping records of plan and generation dates helps.

Why it matters when choosing a tool

Check rights before shipping generated assets; a free-tier image or song may not be usable in an ad or product.
