Pika, terms of service
- User contentA worldwide, transferable and sublicensable licence over submitted content
1What “worldwide, transferable and sublicensable” means here
A worldwide, transferable and sublicensable licence can pass to another company and be shared with the tool's partners. These terms do not call it perpetual, but they do not say it ends when a project is deleted either.
2Other tools with this reading
Animaker and Krikey AI have the same reading, which makes 3 of the 24 tools.
Terms of service change without notice, so the current version on the tool's site governs.
3Why it matters for a book
A licence is permission you give, not ownership you hand over. What changes from tool to tool is how long the permission lasts, whether it can pass to another company, and what the tool may do with a manuscript beyond making your video.
