Invideo Rewrote Its Terms in Your Favor. Mostly

Invideo replaced its terms of service on July 8, 2026, and unusually for this week, most of the rewrite moves in the creator’s favor. It adds an explicit promise not to train on your data, assigns you the rights in the outputs you generate, narrows the license it takes over your content, and requires your affirmative acceptance before material changes take effect. The catch is the one this whole issue keeps circling: a carve-out for de-identified, aggregated data that Invideo owns and keeps after you leave. Our diff is against a June 2026 archive of the prior terms, since the tracked page had been failing to scrape.

In human terms: You make client videos on Invideo. Under the old terms, Invideo could use your AI output “to develop and improve our technologies,” and it took a perpetual, sublicensable license over your content. Under the new ones, it promises not to train on your data, hands you the rights in your outputs, and only licenses your content as far as it needs to run the service. What it keeps is the de-identified, aggregated record of how you use the platform, which it now owns outright.

Why this matters: This is the counter-example to the rest of the week, and worth stating plainly: protections can move toward the creator, not only away. But look at the shape even here. The no training promise is real and welcome, and it sits directly beside a right to de-identified, aggregated data that Invideo owns and retains after you go, plus a clause claiming the machine-learning improvements derived from running the service. The badge a reviewer checks, “won’t train on my data,” is honored. The data question just slides one step over, to what counts as de-identified and how far Invideo’s ownership of it reaches. That is the same question we are pressing on n8n, and Invideo reserves these rights whether or not it ever leans on them. For the legal pros, mechanics follow:

The mechanics: The prior terms made no such promise about Invideo itself. They granted Invideo “all rights to use your AI Based Output… to develop and improve our technologies and to improve our products and Services.” The new terms state: “Invideo will not use your User Data to train or fine-tune its artificial intelligence or machine-learning models.” Directly alongside it: “You also grant us the right to use de-identified or aggregated information derived from your use of the Services… Such de-identified data is treated as system or usage data owned by Invideo, not as User Data,” and that right survives the end of your relationship with Invideo.

A separate clause provides that “any enhancements, improvements or machine-learning Outputs derived from operating the Services” belong to Invideo. On ownership, the update assigns outputs to you: “we assign to you all of our right, title and interest, if any, in Outputs you generate, to the extent we are able,” and preserves that right after termination. The license you grant Invideo narrows from “an irrevocable, perpetual, non-exclusive, royalty-free… worldwide license (with the right to sublicense)” usable “for the purpose of supporting and developing and further improving the Services,” to one scoped “solely as reasonably necessary to provide the Services to you… not sublicensable, except to Invideo’s sub-processors.”

And where the old terms treated continued use as acceptance of changes, the new ones require, for users in the EEA, UK, and Switzerland and for all paid users, that “material changes take effect only when you affirmatively accept them.” Two shifts cut the other way: a new US entity, Invideo Inc. in Delaware, routes US disputes to arbitration with a class-action waiver and a 30-day opt-out, and the previously spelled-out stock-footage indemnity, up to 20,000 US dollars under the incorporated Storyblocks license, is now pulled in only by reference.
