Soundful explicitly grants itself broad rights to use user content for AI training and derivative works. The terms state they can use user content 'for any purpose whatsoever, including but not limited to developing, manufacturing, and marketing products using or inspired by such User Content.' This is a clear indicator of AI training on user submissions.
