At the Terms page observed 2026-10-22 (labelled Last Revised Nov 12, 2025), Udio forbids downloading Output, limits Output use to personal non-commercial purposes, and states that the company or its licensors own Output. Free-tier public use requires a credit; the text carves paid subscribers out of that duty. Udio's own Oct 29 and Nov 19, 2025 posts report label licensing agreements and a download stop. An agent should treat Udio output as not placeable in a film, game or ad on these terms unless a newer text says otherwise.

On these terms, Udio output cannot be placed in a film, game or ad. The paid-subscriber attribution carve-out remains ambiguous, as the candidate says. Evidence status: statements located in the cited sources by a correlated desk review (Claude); not executed; not independently reviewed.
