Alien Data-Streaming Infrastructure

License Agreement

Version: Beta
Last updated: October 16, 2025

These terms apply to your licensing of Content to Alien for the purpose of delivering the Data-Streaming Infrastructure, including the generation and controlled distribution of Generated Output via API access to third parties.

This License Agreement (the “License Agreement”) is entered into by You, as the Content Owner (the “Licensor”), and Alien Intelligence SAS (“Alien”), and governs the rights granted to Alien and, through Alien only, to authorized AI Service Provider accessing Generated Output via our Services (the “Licensees”). All parties—including the Licensor, Alien, and AI Service Provider — are collectively referred to as the “Parties.” 

This Licensing Agreement sets out the scope and terms of these rights and obligations.

Please note: Alien Data-Streaming Infrastructure is currently in a limited-access beta phase. As we refine the Alien Data-Streaming Infrastructure and underlying licensing framework, we welcome your feedback at contact@alien.club.

During this period, only Alien is authorized to sub-license your Generated Output to AI Service Provider. If you wish to propose a custom license setup or restrict specific uses of your Content, please contact us directly or select “Custom License” within the Services interface.

Our priority is to ensure that you retain maximum control over how your data is accessed and used.

By accessing or using the Services, each Content Owner agrees to be bound by this License Agreement as well as the Alien Data-Streaming Infrastructure Terms of Service.
Alien shall ensure that the essential provisions of this License are incorporated with the same binding force into all sub-licenses granted to AI Service Providers.

Alien Data-Streaming Infrastructure or the Services refers to the proprietary infrastructure developed and operated by Alien Intelligence SAS that enables AI systems and services to interact via API and receive Generated Output derived from specific datasets that remain undisclosed by us. 

Content means any data, information, text, documents, media file, or other form of intellectual property provided by a Content Owner for inclusion within the Services. Access to and use of Content within the Services are governed by the applicable License Agreement between Alien and each Content Owner. Content may also include datasets made available under recognized open source or open data licenses. Raw Content is never disclosed or shared with third parties. 

Effective Date means the date this Agreement enters into force, which corresponds to the date on which the Content Owner uses the Services.

Generated Output means any AI-generated content, data, or information produced by the Services in response to API queries, derived from the underlying Content, but without exposing or transferring that Content.

Licensee refer to both Alien Intelligence SAS and any AI Service Providers that are granted the right to use the licensed intellectual property under the terms and conditions of this License Agreement.

Licensor refers to the Content Owner, meaning the individual or legal entity holding the intellectual property rights being licensed and used to support or enhance the Services. Under this Agreement, the Licensor is the party granting Alien permission to use its Intellectual Property Rights (“IPR”).

Other capitalized terms shall have the meaning assigned to them in the Terms of Service.

This License Agreement establishes the legal framework governing the license granted by the Licensor to Alien, enabling Alien to use the Content for the provision of the Services and to sub-license the resulting Generated Output to authorized AI Service Providers, in accordance with the conditions set forth herein.

This Agreement constitutes the entire understanding and License Agreement between the Parties hereto and supersedes any and all prior or contemporaneous understandings, representations, warranties, and License Agreements, whether oral or written, regarding the subject matter contained herein.

The Parties acknowledge that they have received all necessary information to express their consent to the conclusion of the License Agreement.

In the event of any inconsistency or conflict between this License Agreement, the Terms of Service, and any additional documents or policies referenced herein, the following order of precedence shall apply:

In case of ambiguity, this License Agreement shall govern to the extent necessary to resolve the conflict.

The License Agreement comes into force between the Parties from the Effective Date and for the entire duration of the Agreement as defined in the Terms of Service.

This Agreement can only be modified by mutual written agreement signed by authorized representatives of both Licensor and Alien Intelligence. Any such amendment shall be binding upon the Parties.

By uploading Content to the Alien Data-Streaming Infrastructure, the Licensor grants Alien Intelligence (“Alien”) a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, and revocable license to use, process, and transform such Content as necessary to operate the Services, including to generate outputs (“Generated Output”) through the Alien Data-Streaming Infrastructure.

Unless otherwise specified by the Licensor at the time of upload, this license includes the right to:

(a) Default License

By default, the Generated Output may be used for both commercial and non-commercial purposes by Service Users or approved third parties.

The sub-license shall remain valid for the operational lifetime of the Generated Output, is non-exclusive, and applies worldwide.

AI Service Providers may access Generated Output only through sub-licenses granted directly by Alien Intelligence.

(b) Custom License Options

At the time of uploading the Content, the Licensor may select a Custom License option, allowing them to define specific licensing parameters.

Alien shall not sub-license any rights beyond those expressly selected by the Licensor. In the event of any inconsistency between the selected options, the most restrictive license shall prevail.

(c) Waiver of Infringement Claims

The Licensor irrevocably waives any future copyright infringement or related claim arising from Alien’s or its authorized sub-licensees’ use of the Generated Output, including cases where such output may partially resemble the original Content—provided that such use remains within the scope of this Agreement and the declared licensing options.

7.2. Restricted Uses

Alien agrees:

During the Beta phase, Alien is responsible for distributing any revenues generated from access to Generated Output as described in the Terms of Service. 

Alien warrants that it holds all necessary rights, titles, and interests in and to the Alien Data-Streaming Infrastructure.

Alien shall indemnify and hold the Licensor harmless against any third-party claim alleging infringement of intellectual property rights arising solely from the use of Alien’s proprietary technologies, provided that:

This guarantee expressly excludes any claim related to the Content, to any Generated Output derived from such Content, to use of the Services by AI Service Provider.

The Licensor warrants and represents that:

The Licensor shall indemnify and hold harmless Alien, its affiliates, and their respective users, officers, and employees against any losses, damages, liabilities, costs, or expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or related to any breach of these warranties or representations.

Alien reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to remove or disable access to any Content that it deems harmful, unlawful, or otherwise incompatible with the operation or integrity of the Services.

The Licensor acknowledges that certain portions of the Generated Output may partially resemble the original Content and irrevocably waives any related claims, except where such resemblance results from unauthorized or improper processing outside the scope of this Agreement.

In case of a material breach of this License Agreement by either Party, the non-breaching Party shall notify the other by registered letter with acknowledgment of receipt, specifying the nature of the breach. The breaching Party shall have thirty (30) days to remedy the breach. After this period, the Parties shall meet in good faith to either:

Notwithstanding the above, any breach of the Guarantees (Section 9) shall entitle the non-breaching Party to terminate the Agreement immediately by notice in writing.

This clause applies in addition to any right of suspension under the Terms of Service.

In case of termination for any reason:

The following sections shall survive termination: Section 7 (License Conditions), Section 9 (Guarantees).

ANNEX 1 – SUB-LICENSE TO AI SERVICE PROVIDER

This Annex sets out the minimum mandatory provisions governing the sub-license granted by Alien Intelligence SAS (“Alien”) to any AI Service Provider (“Sub-Licensee”) for access to and use of Generated Output derived from a Licensor’s Content under the Alien Data-Streaming Infrastructure.

These provisions apply to all Generated Output made available through the Services, unless the Licensor has selected a Custom License at the time of upload. In such case, the custom terms shall prevail and will be transmitted directly to the Sub-Licensee by Alien.

This Sub-License is entered into between:

2.1. Grant of Rights

Alien hereby grants the Sub-Licensee a non-exclusive, worldwide, and revocable license to access and use the Generated Output through the Alien Data-Streaming Infrastructure, strictly within the licensing conditions (default or custom) selected by the Licensor.

2.2. Permitted Uses

Unless otherwise restricted by the Licensor, the Sub-Licensee may:

2.3. Custom Options

Where the Licensor has applied custom licensing conditions (e.g., exclusivity, time limits, internal-research-only use, or field-of-use restrictions), Alien shall incorporate and enforce those conditions in this Sub-License. In the event of conflict, the custom terms shall prevail over the default license.

The Sub-Licensee shall not:

Any feedback, suggestions, or improvements ideas provided by the Sub-Licensee regarding Alien Data-Streaming Infrastructure or the Generated Output shall be deemed non-confidential and non-proprietary.

Alien makes no guarantees regarding the accuracy, appropriateness, fitness, or legality of the Generated Output. You acknowledge that such outputs may occasionally be inaccurate, incomplete, or inappropriate.

The sub-license remains in force for as long as the Generated Output is operationally used by the Sub-Licensee’s end-users, unless terminated earlier by Alien for breach of these terms or by the Licensor’s revocation under the main License Agreement.

Upon termination, the Sub-Licensee shall cease all use of the Generated Output not already incorporated into active end-user use.

This Annex shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the governing law specified in the main License Agreement.
