AI Tools & Legal Notice

Executive summary

Initus Interactive may use local and cloud-based generative AI tools as productivity tools in parts of our workflow. Human review, editing, and integration decisions remain with us.

✓ Core Policy Initus Interactive strictly utilizes paid, commercial-tier licenses across all generative platforms. We do not use free tiers for shipped assets. This policy secures full commercial usage rights and intellectual property ownership. This documentation is explicitly maintained to demonstrate full licensing compliance for console distribution on platforms such as Xbox and PlayStation.

Goal: ship commercial console builds Reality: contract rights ≠ guaranteed copyright Process: paid-tier provenance logging If unspecified: consult internal logs / replace asset

High-level positions (non-binding summary)

We aim to use paid tiers for production assets. Where an asset’s tier at generation time is unspecified, it should be treated as license-based or replaced, and the internal provenance log is the source of truth.

Short caution: this notice is informational and not legal advice.

Tools used or potentially used

We use generative AI tools as productivity aids. They are of two kinds:

Local tools: models that run on our own hardware, so prompts and outputs stay on our machines.
Cloud-based tools: commercial services from third-party providers, used on paid plans under their commercial terms.

Any and all tools, local or cloud-based, are checked for commercial use before we use them, and we use only paid tiers. Whichever kind we use, a person reviews, edits and integrates everything that ships, and we keep a record of the tool each shipped asset came from.

Provider terms summary table

This table is a practical summary for transparency. The controlling documents are the provider terms linked in the Sources section.

Tool	Outputs: ownership framing	Commercial use (Paid Tiers Only)	Sublicensing / distribution risk	Attribution / disclosure
Suno.AI	Paid-tier outputs are treated as user-owned. Free-tier outputs: Suno retains ownership.	Full permitted.	Remix features can create joint works and may be restricted.	Free-tier requires attribution credit.
OpenAI ChatGPT Plus	Terms state users own outputs, but outputs may be non-unique.	Generally permitted, subject to policies.	Third-party output may have separate terms.	Expects clear disclosure that AI was used.
ElevenLabs	Users retain rights in outputs; provider receives broad licenses.	Full commercial rights.	Outputs may be sublicensed unless “Disable” is used.	Free plan requires attribution in title.
Meshy.ai	Paid plan: Help Center says private assets are customer-owned if not published.	Commercial use supported.	Free plan CC BY 4.0 may conflict with EULA. Community publish = CC0.	Free plan requires attribution + link. Paid plan generally not required.

Microsoft Store / Xbox submission considerations

Microsoft developer agreements commonly require developers to ensure their app and app assets do not infringe third-party rights, to secure necessary rights/clearances, to comply with trade laws, and may impose duties to defend/indemnify.

Third-party rights: secure and maintain necessary clearances for content.
Music licensing: responsible for public performance and related fees.
Export controls: comply with relevant export/import laws and disclose controlled technology.

Mitigation checklist (process controls)

Process measures we maintain to reduce third-party rights risk and support platform submission.

Maintain receipts/invoices for paid plans and map shipped assets to the provider, plan tier, and generation timestamp.
Prefer private generation and disable optional public sharing where possible (e.g., avoid Meshy Community publishing).
For ElevenLabs Sound Effects, use “Disable” to opt out of sublicensing when exclusivity is desired.
Avoid prompts containing third-party copyrighted characters, trademarks, or protected likenesses.
Perform similarity tests and keep a replacement path for suspect assets.
