CLAUSE_01

TDM Opt-Out

USAGE CONTEXT

Use in all agreements where the client's content may be accessible to AI training systems. Declares that no licence is granted for text and data mining.

CLAUSE TEXT

"The licensee acknowledges that the works covered by this agreement are subject to a text and data mining opt-out declared under the Data (Use and Access) Act 2025 and EU AI Act Article 53. No licence is granted under this agreement for the use of the works as training data, fine-tuning data, or data mining material for any artificial intelligence system. Any such use requires a separate written licence granted by the rights holder."

CLAUSE_02

NILP Scope Definition

USAGE CONTEXT

Use in talent and creator agreements. Prevents AI use of name, image, likeness, voice, or persona without separate NILP licence.

CLAUSE TEXT

"No licence is granted under this agreement for the use of [client name]'s name, image, likeness, voice, persona, or other identity markers in connection with any artificial intelligence system. This prohibition covers AI voice synthesis or cloning, AI-generated images or video depicting [client name], and AI-generated text attributed to or impersonating [client name]. Any such use requires a separate written NILP licence granted directly by [client name] or their authorised representative."

CLAUSE_03

Biometric Data

USAGE CONTEXT

Use where client content contains biometric identifiers (voiceprints, faceprints). Creates material breach trigger for unauthorised biometric processing.

CLAUSE TEXT

"The licensee acknowledges that [client name]'s recordings, photographs, and video content may contain biometric identifiers including voiceprints and faceprints. No licence is granted for the processing, storage, or use of such biometric identifiers for any artificial intelligence model training, biometric recognition, or identity synthesis purpose. Any such use constitutes a material breach of this agreement."

CLAUSE_04

GIPL Insurance Obligation

USAGE CONTEXT

Use in agreements with AI operators or platforms that ingest, process, or distribute covered works. Requires maintenance of Generative IP Liability coverage.

CLAUSE TEXT

"Any licensee operating an AI content pipeline that ingests, processes, or distributes works covered by this agreement shall maintain Generative IP Liability (GIPL) coverage issued by a CIP-certified underwriter in an amount sufficient to cover Training Data Dividend obligations and NILP Downstream Obligations arising from the use of the covered works. Evidence of such coverage shall be provided upon request."

CLAUSE_05

Revenue Waterfall and Attribution

USAGE CONTEXT

Use in agreements that authorise AI training use. Ensures Training Data Dividend payments and CDR-format attribution flow back to the rights holder.

CLAUSE TEXT

"Any authorised use of works covered by this agreement in connection with AI training shall generate a Training Data Dividend payable to [client name] through the CIP Revenue Waterfall mechanism. Attribution shall be provided in the format specified in the CIP Core Data Record for the relevant works. Royalty reporting shall be provided quarterly through the CIP Rights Registry."

CLAUSE_06

Agentic Execution

USAGE CONTEXT

Use in agreements where AI agents may interact with covered works. Ensures automated agents are held to the same restrictions as human operators.

CLAUSE TEXT

"Licensee's automated AI agents may not ingest, reproduce, transform, or distribute the covered works in ways that would be prohibited if undertaken by a human operator. Provenance Certificates must be attached to all outputs generated by automated agents from the covered works."

CLAUSE_07

AI Disclosure

USAGE CONTEXT

Use in agreements where AI-derived content will be distributed. Ensures compliance with EU AI Act Article 50 synthetic content labelling requirements.

CLAUSE TEXT

"Where the licensee uses the covered works to generate AI-derived content for distribution, that content must be labelled as AI-generated in a machine-readable format consistent with EU AI Act Article 50 requirements and CIP synthetic content disclosure standards."
