6. Customer Content, Inputs, and Outputs

6.1 Definitions

  • Input” means data you submit to the Services (e.g., text, images, audio, video, embeddings, prompts, files, or other content).
  • Output” means the results generated by the Services in response to an Input.

Inputs and Outputs are collectively “Customer Content.”

6.2 Ownership

As between you and Mixlayer, you own your Inputs and Outputs, and Mixlayer does not claim ownership of your Customer Content.

6.3 License to Operate the Services

You grant Mixlayer a limited, worldwide, non-exclusive license to host, process, transmit, and otherwise use Customer Content solely to provide, maintain, and secure the Services, including to:

  • Run inference and return Outputs;
  • Maintain service performance and reliability;
  • Prevent abuse, fraud, and security incidents;
  • Provide customer support; and
  • Comply with law.

6.4 Customer-Directed Fine-Tuning / Auto Fine-Tuning (Carve-Out)

If you explicitly enable or request a feature that fine-tunes, adapts, or optimizes models on your behalf (including “auto fine-tune” or similar), you grant Mixlayer the additional limited right to use your Customer Content to perform that customer-directed operation and to operate and host the resulting fine-tuned or adapted model for your benefit (e.g., serving it via the Services), subject to your configuration and plan.

Important: This Section does not allow Mixlayer to use your Customer Content for general model training or improvement unless you opt in under Section 7.

6.5 Similarity of Outputs

Because machine learning systems can generate similar responses for different users, Outputs may not be unique, and other users may receive similar outputs.

7. Model Improvement and Training on Customer Content (Opt-In)

By default, Mixlayer will not use your Customer Content to train or improve models for general availability.

If you opt in, you grant Mixlayer permission to use your Customer Content to improve and develop models and Services (including evaluation, fine-tuning, and related processes) as described at the time of opt-in. You may be able to revoke opt-in prospectively through your dashboard settings or by contacting [email protected], subject to practical limitations (for example, content already incorporated into trained parameters may not be removable).

8. Data Retention and Deletion

8.1 Retention

Unless otherwise agreed in writing, Mixlayer may retain:

  • API requests/responses,
  • logs and metadata, and
  • user-uploaded files (if any),

for up to a maximum of 1 year, for purposes such as operating the Services, security, fraud prevention, troubleshooting, analytics, and legal compliance.

8.2 Deletion After Termination

If you terminate your account (or we terminate it), we will delete or de-identify your Customer Content within a reasonable time, and in any event no later than the maximum retention period described above, except where:

  • retention is required by law,
  • necessary for security or fraud prevention,
  • stored in backups that are overwritten on a standard schedule, or
  • retained in aggregated or de-identified form that cannot reasonably be used to identify you.

9. Privacy and Security

We will maintain administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect the Services and Customer Content. SOC 2 is in progress and may be updated over time.

Your use of the Services is also subject to our Privacy Policy: [insert link]. If there is a conflict between the Privacy Policy and these Terms regarding personal data processing, the Privacy Policy controls.
