Can I use Martini-generated content commercially?
Short answer
Yes, on paid plans. As between you and Martini, you own the images, videos, audio, and text you generate and you can use them for commercial purposes — ads, products, client work, social, paid distribution. Two boundaries apply: each underlying model provider has its own commercial-use terms you also need to comply with, and you remain responsible for what you choose to generate.
You own your outputs
On paid plans, ownership of the generated output transfers to you the moment it's created. Martini does not retain a copyright claim on your work, does not gate commercial use behind extra licenses, and does not take a share of revenue you earn from using the output. You can sell the output, register it where applicable, license it to third parties, modify it, and distribute it however you choose.
On the free plan, generations are intended for personal, non-commercial use while you evaluate the product. If you need commercial rights and are still on the free tier, upgrade to any paid plan and the rights apply going forward to new generations. Outputs generated under a paid plan retain their commercial rights even if you later downgrade or cancel.
Model-provider terms still apply
Martini routes your prompts to third-party AI models — OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, FAL, Runway, and others. Each provider has its own usage policy and commercial-use terms. Martini's commercial-rights grant cannot override a provider's restrictions. In practice the major image and video models permit commercial use of outputs, but you are responsible for checking the active model's terms when commercial use is high-stakes (large-scale ad campaigns, regulated industries, public figure likenesses).
If a particular model has a non-commercial restriction, the model card and the credit-cost panel on the node will note it. When in doubt, prefer models with explicit commercial terms (the commercial-by-default majority) for client and revenue-generating work, and treat experimental or research-only models as for prototyping.
What's not allowed regardless of plan
You may not generate content that violates the Acceptable Use Policy: real-person likenesses without consent, sexual content involving minors, content designed to defame or harass identified individuals, content that infringes a known trademark or copyrighted character without rights, or anything illegal in the jurisdiction where you operate. These rules apply to both the generation and the commercial use that follows.
Brand likenesses, copyrighted characters, and celebrity likenesses are the most common areas of confusion. Martini does not vet whether you have a license to depict these subjects — that responsibility is yours. If you generate a brand mascot or a character that resembles a copyrighted IP, the commercial risk of that downstream use sits with you, not with Martini or the model provider.
Examples
- A freelance designer uses Martini-generated stills in a paid client campaign — allowed on a paid plan.
- A startup uses Martini-generated explainer video clips in a product launch — allowed on a paid plan.
- A marketer generates social ads from a free-plan account — upgrade first to retain commercial rights.
- A studio generates a celebrity look-alike for an unauthorized endorsement ad — not allowed.
- An author generates cover art for a novel they sell on a marketplace — allowed on a paid plan.
Edge cases
- Workspace plans grant commercial rights to all member generations made through the workspace.
- A specific model with a non-commercial label in its node panel cannot be used for paid distribution even on a paid plan.
- Outputs created on a paid plan keep their commercial rights even after you downgrade or cancel.
- Real-person and brand likenesses still require external consent or licenses, regardless of Martini's grant.
What to do next
- Upgrade from the free plan in Settings, Billing if you need commercial rights for new work.
- Check the model card on each node for any non-commercial label before using outputs in paid distribution.
- Review the Terms of Service for the full commercial-use grant language.
- Contact support from the help icon if you're unsure whether a specific commercial use is covered.
