6. Content Ownership & Liability
BVidz and its administrators accept no liability for member-generated content. BVidz provides streaming infrastructure and the terms under which it operates; it does not create, edit, or endorse member content.
i) Your content is always yours.
You retain full ownership of all content you create or stream on BVidz. You are solely responsible for ensuring your content does not infringe any copyright, trademark, or other intellectual property rights. Members and the public may view your content depending on your stream settings. You may set your own terms for how others may use your content in your profile bio. Viewers are expected to respect those terms when commenting, quoting, or referencing your content in chat or elsewhere.
ii) Follower Only Streaming.
Followers must obtain written permission from the streamer before recording, clipping, or using any content from a follower-only stream in any way. Doing so without permission constitutes copyright infringement and may result in legal action and termination of your BVidz account.
iii) Member Only Streaming.
Members must obtain written permission from the streamer before recording, clipping, or using any content from a member-only stream in any way. Doing so without permission constitutes copyright infringement and may result in legal action and termination of your BVidz account.
iv) Public streaming.
If you choose to stream publicly, your content is accessible to anyone on BVidz. This does not place your content in the public domain — you retain full copyright. However, by streaming publicly you acknowledge that viewers may view, and in some cases record, your stream. If this is not acceptable, set your stream to follower-only or member-only.
All participants in public streams (streamers and viewers) are expected to conduct themselves in a manner that respects the platform and its community. BVidz administrators actively monitor all streams. Violations of these terms will result in account suspension or termination. Legal action may be pursued where a streamer or viewer engages in malicious conduct or attempts to undermine the platform.
v) Streamer Content belongs to the Streamer.
The streamer is solely liable and responsible for all content they present. Content must comply with these terms and with the laws of the jurisdiction in which it is broadcast.
Recording a Stream
Both streamers and viewers may record streams on their personal devices. The following rules apply:
Streamer Recording
If you are recording your own stream, you must inform viewers that recording is taking place. Use the "Record" setting in "Go Live" to display a notification. If the feature is unavailable, notify viewers via live chat at the start of the stream and at least every ten minutes thereafter. Recording a stream without informing viewers is a violation of these terms and may result in account suspension and legal consequences.
Viewer Recording
Viewers who wish to record a stream must request permission from the streamer in writing via BVidz messaging and receive explicit approval before recording. Recording a stream without the streamer's permission is a violation of these terms and may result in account suspension, legal action by the streamer, or both.
7. Legal Warrants and Law Enforcement Requests
BVidz complies with Australian law. If a law enforcement agency or other authorised body requests member data, they must present a valid warrant, court order, or other legally binding compulsion. Administrators will seek independent legal counsel before acting on any such request.
Where a valid warrant or order is confirmed, BVidz will disclose the minimum information required (typically username and registered email address). Our Privacy Policy outlines how member data is stored, accessed, and managed.
If a member streams illegal content or engages in conduct that BVidz believes is unlawful, administrators reserve the right to report the matter to the appropriate authorities.
8. Rights Reserved
BVidz reserves the right to modify these terms at any time. Changes take effect immediately upon publication. Continued use of the platform after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.
If a member violates any of these terms, BVidz reserves the right to suspend or terminate their account without prior notice
Suspended members may appeal via the contact form within seven (7) days of suspension. If no appeal is lodged within this period, the suspension may become permanent and the account may be deleted.
Creating a new account to circumvent a suspension or termination is a violation of these terms. Any such account will be suspended or terminated without notice.
9. Privacy Practices
