DMCA Policy

Bothive hosts user-generated 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 for user-uploaded content.

Filing a takedown notice

If you believe content hosted on Bothive infringes your copyright, send a takedown notice to our designated agent. It must include:

  • Signature — a physical or electronic signature of someone authorized to act for the rights holder.
  • The work — identification of the copyrighted work claimed to be infringed.
  • Location — where the infringing material lives (Hivestore URL, bot ID, or workspace identifier).
  • Contact — an address, phone number, and email so we can reach you.
  • Good-faith statement — that the use is not authorized by the owner, its agent, or the law.
  • Accuracy statement — that the notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, you're authorized to act for the owner.

Counter-notification

If your bot or template was removed by mistake or misidentification, you may submit a counter-notice including:

  • Your signature and contact information.
  • Identification of the material that was removed.
  • A statement under penalty of perjury that removal was a mistake.
  • Consent to the jurisdiction of the appropriate federal district court.

Agents & copyright

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 agent activity. Using agents to systematically duplicate protected IP violates our Acceptable Use Policy.

Repeat infringers

We operate a three-strike policy. Accounts subject to three or more verified, undisputed takedown notices have their access permanently removed and marketplace earnings forfeited.
