6Content 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.

Copyright & Intellectual Property

You must NOT upload, stream, or share any material that is protected by copyright. This includes but is not limited to music, films, television programs, software, artwork, and written content.

Permitted material:

  • Public Domain (CC0): Free to use with no conditions.
  • Creative Commons Attribution (CC-BY): You may use this material, but you must credit the original artist/creator in the description.
  • Commercial Use Allowed: Material explicitly licensed for commercial use by the rights holder.
  • Your own original content: Material you created and hold full rights to.

Prohibited:Any material you do not have explicit written permission to use. "I found it online" or "it's just a snippet" is not a valid defence.

Violations will result in immediate removal of the content and a warning. Repeated violations will result in account suspension or termination without notice. You are solely responsible for any legal claims arising from content you upload.

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.

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 under the following rules:

  • 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, or notify viewers via live chat at the start and every ten minutes.
  • 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.

7Legal 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.

8Rights 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.
