Not legal advice: a plain reading of each provider's public terms as of 12 Nov 2026.
Short answer: generally yes. The makers of Kling, Veo, Seedance, MiniMax Hailuo, Wan, FLUX and GPT Image either give you the output or claim no ownership of it, and none of their API terms we read bans ads. But no provider promises the output is free of other people's rights, so you answer for any real person's face, brand logo, music and product claim in the ad.
Below: a table of what each model maker's terms say about using outputs, what the platform in between adds, what to check before you run an ad (faces, logos, music, and the AI-labeling rules of Meta, TikTok and Google), and how Kinoseed's own terms fit.
What each model maker's terms say about using the output
| Maker and models | What the terms say about output use | Source (read 12 Nov 2026) |
|---|---|---|
| Kuaishou: Kling 2.6, 3.0, 4.0, 4.0 Flash, Motion Control, video edit | API terms: the rights in AI-generated content belong to you, and commercial use "is not restricted". Kling's consumer app terms are stricter (commercial use needs written permission and a Kling label); they cover the kling.ai app, not API use | kling.ai/document-api/guides/protocols/paid-service.md (effective 21 Apr 2026); kling.ai/docs/user-policy |
| Google: Veo 3.1, Veo 3.1 Fast, Veo 3.1 Lite, Nano Banana 2, 2.1 and Pro | "Google won't claim ownership over that content"; you are responsible for how you and others use it. Google Cloud's terms say the same. Google embeds an invisible SynthID watermark in what these models make | aistudio.google.com/docs/terms (effective 23 Mar 2026); cloud.google.com/terms/service-terms section 20 |
| ByteDance: Seedance 2.0, 2.0 Fast, 2.0 Mini, 2.5, Seedream 5.0 Lite | BytePlus: you own the Output and BytePlus claims no ownership; you must follow AI-content labeling rules; no promise the output is non-infringing. We found no Seedance-specific terms | docs.byteplus.com/en/docs/legal/AI-Services-terms (updated 28 Aug 2026) |
| MiniMax: Hailuo 2.3, Hailuo 2.3 Fast, H3 | You retain ownership of generated content; MiniMax may use it to improve its services; synthetic content must carry an identifier. No explicit commercial grant and no ban | platform.minimax.io/protocol/terms-of-service (effective 30 Mar 2026) |
| Alibaba: Wan 2.7, Wan 3.0, Z-Image | Model Studio claims no ownership of Output; you may use it if the use is lawful, and label it where the law requires. Z-Image's open weights are Apache 2.0 | alibabacloud.com Product Terms of Service, section 4.48 (updated 19 Oct 2026); huggingface.co/Tongyi-MAI/Z-Image-Turbo |
| OpenAI: GPT Image 1.5, 2, 2.5 | The customer "owns all Output", and OpenAI assigns its rights in it; output may not be unique | cdn.openai.com/osa/openai-services-agreement.pdf (v.010126) |
| Black Forest Labs: FLUX.2, FLUX 3, FLUX 3 Klein | You own the Output and may use it "for your or their own personal or commercial purposes" | bfl.ai/legal/developer-terms-of-service (revised 4 Aug 2026) |
| xAI: Grok Imagine video, image and edit | The operator is now SpaceX Super Intelligence LLC (SpaceXSI). API use falls under its Enterprise terms: the customer "owns all right, title, and interest in the Output in perpetuity" and SpaceXSI assigns its rights in Output to the customer | x.ai/legal/terms-of-service-enterprise (updated 27 Oct 2026) |
| Luma: Reframe | Enterprise terms assign the Output to the customer. Luma's own app allows commercial use only for outputs made on a paid plan | lumalabs.ai/legal/enterprise-terms-of-service (20 Apr 2026); lumalabs.ai/legal/terms-of-service |
Wording shortened by us from each provider's own page, read on 12 Nov 2026. Terms change; the version on the provider's site is the one that applies.
What you need
- The finished clip and the prompt and photos you made it from.
- Which model made it, so you know which terms apply.
- Where the ad will run: Meta, TikTok, YouTube or Google Ads, your own site.
- Proof you may use every face, logo, product and track in it that is not yours.
Step by step
- 1
Check what you put in, not only what came out
Every provider above leaves the risk of the output with you. A photo of a real person, a competitor's logo or a copyrighted character in your prompt or reference image can end up in the clip. Use your own product photos, and get written consent from anyone whose face or voice appears.
- 2
Clear the music and the claims
If the model made the sound, check it does not imitate a known song or voice. If you add a track, license it for ads on the platforms you will use. And the ad's claims about the product (results, health, prices) are yours under advertising law, however the video was made.
- 3
Label it the way the platform asks
TikTok requires AI-generated ad content to be disclosed with its AIGC label or your own caption. Meta and Google require a disclosure on political and election ads with realistic AI media. See the platform section below.
- 4
Keep a record
Save the prompt, the model name, the date, and a copy of the provider's terms that day. If a question comes up later, you can show what you made and what you relied on.

The platform in between: fal.ai and Sume
Apps like Kinoseed reach these models through an inference platform, so its terms apply too. fal.ai's terms (last updated 8 Sep 2026) say they do not entitle fal to any intellectual property rights in Output Content, that outputs may not be unique, and that use is at the customer's own risk. They do not say in so many words who owns the output, and they note that third-party models "may be subject to additional terms". Sume's terms (last updated 10 Aug 2026) say it "does not claim ownership of generated outputs" and that paid plans include commercial use.
So no link in the chain claims your output, but none promises it is free of someone else's rights. Whether a model maker's API grant passes through the platform to you is not spelled out; that part is unclear.
Faces, logos and music: the parts no terms cover for you
Real people: a recognisable face or voice in an ad needs that person's permission (right of publicity), and Google's Generative AI Prohibited Use Policy bars impersonating a real person without disclosure. TikTok's ad policy bans false endorsements by public figures.
Brands: another company's logo or product in your clip can be trademark infringement or false association, AI-made or not. Keep only your own brand in frame.
Music: a sound the model generated can still resemble a protected song. For a paid ad, use your own track or one licensed for ads.
AI labeling rules on Meta, TikTok and Google
TikTok: its Misleading and False Content ad policy (updated April 2026) allows AI-generated content if you disclose it with the AIGC label or your own caption, sticker or watermark, and says undisclosed AI content gets the ad rejected or restricted. For organic posts, TikTok asks creators to label realistic AI content and may apply the label itself from Content Credentials.
Meta: its political and social issue ad standards require disclosure of photorealistic AI images, video or realistic audio, and reject undisclosed ads. Meta says that since 1 June 2026 it also detects ads made with third-party AI tools and can show an "AI info" label. We found no primary Meta text requiring self-disclosure on ordinary product ads.
Google and YouTube: Google Ads requires election ads with synthetic content to tick "Altered or synthetic content", and its Misrepresentation policy bans media manipulated to deceive. YouTube asks creators to disclose realistic altered content, such as a real person saying something they did not. We found no general AI-label rule for ordinary Google product ads.
How Kinoseed fits
Kinoseed's Terms of Service (last updated 8 Nov 2026) say: "You retain ownership of the content you upload and the outputs you generate, subject to the underlying model providers' terms." Kinoseed takes a limited license to host and display them so the service works. You are responsible for having the rights to the photos you upload, and the terms bar content that infringes others' rights or impersonates a real person without consent.
Our Privacy Policy says prompts and uploads go to fal.ai and Sume, which run the model you pick. Kinoseed does not add a stock or music library, so there is no extra license from us to check; the model maker's terms in the table are the ones that apply.
Generating starts with a plan. A product ad from one photo is 40 credits ($0.80) for an 6 second vertical clip, and the $10 Basic plan (500 credits a month) covers 12 of them. For ads built on templates, read whether CapCut templates and music can run in ads; for creator-style ads, how to make AI UGC video ads; for picking a model, the best AI video generator for product ads.
Tips for better results
- Start from your own product photo: it is the input you know you own.
- Leave real faces, celebrity lookalikes and other brands out of prompts for ads.
- Note the model name with each clip; the terms differ by maker.
- On TikTok, turn on the AIGC label for AI-made ads.
- Re-read the terms before a big campaign: several changed in 2026.
Frequently asked questions
Can I use AI-generated video commercially?
Generally yes. The terms we read from Kuaishou (Kling API), Google, BytePlus, MiniMax, Alibaba, OpenAI and Black Forest Labs either give you the output or claim no ownership, and none bans ads. You still answer for faces, logos, music and claims in it.
Can I use Kling videos commercially?
Under Kling's API terms (effective 21 Apr 2026), yes: the rights in the content belong to you and commercial use is not restricted. Kling's consumer app terms are stricter and require written permission and a Kling label for commercial use.
Can I use Veo videos in ads?
Google's Gemini API terms say Google won't claim ownership of generated content and that you are responsible for its use. Veo output carries an invisible SynthID watermark. Google's Prohibited Use Policy bars deception and impersonating real people.
Do I have to label AI-generated ads?
On TikTok, yes: its ad policy requires disclosure of AI-generated content. Meta and Google require it for political and election ads with realistic AI media. Meta may add an "AI info" label to other ads on its own.
Who owns a video I make on Kinoseed?
Kinoseed's terms say you retain ownership of the content you upload and the outputs you generate, subject to the underlying model providers' terms.
