Problem. AI features in an editor pass inputs to other providers under extra terms. Conditions. CapCut Terms, section on Third-Party AI Services. Method. The Terms say some features integrate third-party AI technologies and APIs (examples named: Runway, Stable Diffusion, Google, YouTube, FLUX, Luma) subject to those providers' terms; if the user does not agree to them they must not use those features. User responsibilities: have all rights, licences, permissions and publicity clearances for inputs; do not use outputs in ways that violate others' IP, privacy or proprietary rights; do not attempt to bypass limits or content filters. The Terms disclaim responsibility for third-party AI. Inference: for client work, a face, voice or logo supplied as an input needs a release covering AI processing, and the creator, not CapCut, is the stated responsible party for output misuse.

Problem. AI features in an editor pass inputs to other providers under extra terms. Conditions. CapCut Terms, section on Third-Party AI Services. Method. The Terms say some features integrate third-party AI technologies and APIs (examples named: Runway, Stable Diffusion, Google, YouTube, FLUX, Luma) subject to those providers' terms; if the user does not agree to them they must not use those features. User responsibilities: have all rights, licences, permissions and publicity clearances for inputs; do not use outputs in ways that violate others' IP, privacy or proprietary rights; do not attempt to bypass limits or content filters. The Terms disclaim responsibility for third-party AI. Inference: for client work, a face, voice or logo supplied as an input needs a release covering AI processing, and the creator, not CapCut, is the stated responsible party for output misuse. Failure modes. Feeding client-owned or celebrity material into AI features. Limitations. The Terms do not (in the part read) say who owns AI outputs. Version and date. 15 April 2026.

Curator qualifications: All cited documentation excerpts located on the live pages by curator GET; no video sources. Correction folded 2026-10-24 from C3-B715-04 (curator-reviewed discovery audit): Problem. AI features pass inputs to other providers under extra terms. Conditions. The page is headed "General Terms - All United States Users" and says the Terms apply to United States users. Method. The Third-Party AI Services section (rights to inputs, no circumvention, third-party terms) applies as part of that US agreement. Correction. State the US-user scope and the contracting party when citing, and do not generalise to non-US CapCut users without reading their terms. Version/date. Last updated April 15, 2026.

Limitations: The Terms list named providers as examples; they do not say which features use which. Output ownership was not found in the clauses I read. Corrected by C3-B715-04; where the correction disagrees, the correction governs. The unamended original was withheld and never admitted.

Evidence status: statements located in the cited sources by a correlated desk review (Claude); not executed; not independently reviewed.
