DMCA Policy

Bothive provides a platform for user-generated autonomous agents and HiveLang templates. Under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. § 512), we operate as a "Service Provider," qualifying for safe harbor protections regarding the content uploaded by our users.

1. COPYRIGHT NOTIFICATION PROCEDURE

If you believe that any content or bot configuration hosted on Bothive infringes upon your copyright, you must provide a "Takedown Notice" to our designated Copyright Agent. This notice must be a written communication that includes substantially the following:

• Legal Signature: A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
• Specific Work: Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or, if multiple works at a single online site are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works.
• Location Data: Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing (e.g., Hive Store URL, Bot ID, or Workspace Identifier).
• Contact Channels: Information reasonably sufficient to permit Bothive to contact you, such as an address, telephone number, and email address.
• Good Faith Statement: A statement that you have a "good faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law."
• Perjury Statement: A statement that the "information in the notification is accurate," and under penalty of perjury, that you are "authorized to act on behalf of the owner."

2. COUNTER-NOTIFICATION RIGHTS

If your bot or template has been removed or disabled as a result of a Takedown Notice and you believe this action was the result of mistake or misidentification, you may submit a Counter-Notice. This must include:

• Your signature and contact information.
• Identification of the material that was removed.
• A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good faith belief the material was removed by mistake.
• Consent to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court for the judicial district in which your address is located (or Delaware if outside the US).

3. AGENTIC AUTOMATION & COPYRIGHT

Important Note: Agents that autonomously scrape web content or generate derivatives of copyrighted works are the sole responsibility of the User who deployed them. Bothive does not pre-screen or "supervise" agent activity. Users are reminded that using Agents to systematically duplicate protected intellectual property is a violation of our Acceptable Use Policy.

4. REPEAT INFRINGER POLICY

Bothive maintains a "Three-Strike" policy. Accounts which are the subject of three or more verified and undisputed Takedown Notices will have their Neural Path permanently severed and all marketplace earnings forfeited.

5. DESIGNATED COPYRIGHT AGENT

6. ABUSE OF DMCA PROCESS

Under Section 512(f) of the DMCA, any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material or activity is infringing may be subject to liability for damages.
