AI / Synthetic Use Addendum (Template v1.0)

1. Purpose

This Addendum governs any use of a Voice Asset that (a) is Synthetic/Transformative or (b) creates, trains, or deploys a Digital Voice Replica (including voice cloning, conversion, or model training) for Buyer use.

2. Definitions

• Digital Voice Replica: synthetic output that reproduces or imitates Creator’s voice identity or distinctive vocal characteristics.
• Synthetic Use: any generation or transformation where output audio is produced by an AI system from the Voice Asset or derived templates.

(Keep this broad on purpose; narrow definitions are loophole factories.)

3. Allowed AI Uses (MUST be explicitly selected on the Order Form)

Buyer is permitted only the checked uses:

A. Model Training

• Train a model on Voice Asset (fine-tune / adapter / embedding)
• Use for evaluation/benchmark only (no deployment)

B. Voice Generation / Conversion

• Text-to-speech generation in Creator’s voice
• Voice conversion (convert other speech into Creator’s voice)
• Style transfer (tone/timbre characteristics without identity match) (only if explicitly permitted)

C. Derived Data Only

• Extract features/embeddings/labels only (no audible synthesis)

D. Output Packaging

• Generate finished audio for commercial distribution
• Generate internal prototypes only (no public release)

Anything not checked is not licensed.

4. Separate, Clear Consent Requirement (Creator-side)

Creator’s consent to Synthetic Use must be:

1. clear and conspicuous, and
2. executed as a separate writing describing the intended uses with reasonable specificity, and
3. provided on a per-project / per-campaign basis when Order Forms differ materially in scope.

Operationally: Creator must click/sign an AI Consent Screen that is separate from general platform terms.

5. Scope Controls (hard knobs)

The Order Form must specify:

• Term / Reach / Volume caps (including max generated minutes)
• Whether Buyer may deploy publicly vs internal only
• Whether Buyer may store any replica model weights, and for how long
• Whether sublicensing is permitted (default: no)

6. Absolute Prohibitions (non-negotiable)

Buyer must not use Voice Assets or replicas for:

• impersonation fraud, deception, or identity theft
• political persuasion ads using Creator’s replica (unless explicitly allowed per campaign + Creator approves)
• disallowed categories listed on the Order Form (default includes: medical diagnosis claims, financial endorsement claims, “I am X person” identity claims, adult content)

7. No Re-Identification / No Biometric Exploitation

Buyer must not attempt to:

• identify Creator, link identity across datasets, or extract/compute an identifier template for identification purposes
• use the asset as a biometric identifier or for authentication systems without explicit permission and legal basis.

This matters because multiple laws treat voice/voiceprints or voice recordings as biometric data with consent expectations.

8. Retention & Destruction (AI-specific)

Buyer must delete:

• replica models/weights, intermediate training artifacts, and generated datasets within {{X days}} after the Term ends, unless extended in writing.

(If you want a default aligned to strict regimes, mirror the “purpose satisfied / within 3 years of last interaction” retention logic conceptually for your platform policy.) (Texas also requires destruction within a reasonable time and adds consent language updates effective Jan 1, 2026.)

9. Approval Workflow (choose one on Order Form)

• Auto: Pre-approved if within preset caps + allowed categories
• Manual: Creator must approve the campaign brief before first use
• Manual + Samples: Buyer submits 1–3 sample outputs for Creator approval before release

10. Attribution & Disclosure (optional but powerful)

If selected, Buyer must disclose: “Contains synthetic audio generated under license.” (This is a trust lever for enterprise buyers; optional for consumer.)

11. Audit Rights

If Buyer is enterprise-tier or if misuse is suspected, Buyer must provide reasonable logs:

• usage counts, generated minutes, release channels, and deletion confirmation.

12. Breach = Immediate Termination + Liquidated Controls

Material breach of this Addendum:

• terminates Synthetic Use rights immediately
• triggers takedown duty
• triggers additional fees/penalties as stated on the Order Form

13. Acceptance Tests (LLM-proof checklist)

• Order Form lists Allowed AI Uses (Section 3) — no silent permission.
• Creator AI consent captured in separate writing with specific uses.
• Volume cap includes generated minutes.
• No re-identification clause present (Section 7).
• Retention/deletion obligations present (Section 8).
