1Where the terms differ

Kling AI's terms cover rights warranties, where Pika's terms read are silent. Pika's terms cover licences and visibility, where Kling AI's terms read are silent. On infringement handling, Kling AI reads “infringing uploads prohibited” and Pika reads “a notice-and-takedown route”. On deletion, Kling AI reads “deleted with the account” and Pika reads “kept only within plan or storage limits”. Neither set of terms states training use.

For a text still under option or unpublished, the training and licence rows carry the most weight.
