DMCA Notice & Copyright Policy

Last updated: February 14, 2026

1. Our Role

HIVE-TV operates as a media player application — similar to how a web browser renders web pages. We provide the playback interface; users supply their own IPTV provider credentials. We do not:

• Host or store any copyrighted media content
• Maintain any content libraries or catalogs
• Operate or provide IPTV subscriptions
• Control what content users access through their own providers
• Cache, proxy, or relay any media streams

2. DMCA Compliance

Despite not hosting content, HIVE-TV respects intellectual property rights and complies with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). We have designated a DMCA agent to receive notifications of claimed copyright infringement.

3. Filing a DMCA Notice

If you believe that content accessible via a user's IPTV provider through our player infringes your copyright, please understand that:

1. We cannot remove third-party content — Content is hosted by the user's IPTV provider, not by HIVE-TV
2. Contact the content host directly — Your DMCA notice should be directed to the IPTV provider hosting the allegedly infringing content
3. We can assist — If you can identify specific HIVE-TV platform features (not third-party content) that infringe your intellectual property, we will address them

4. Notices Related to HIVE-TV Platform

For legitimate copyright concerns related to the HIVE-TV platform itself (our software, website, branding, or documentation), please send a DMCA notice to our designated agent containing:

1. Your physical or electronic signature
2. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed
3. Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing, with enough detail to allow us to locate it
4. Your contact information (address, phone number, email)
5. A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law
6. A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notification is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on behalf of the owner

5. Designated Agent

6. Counter-Notification

If you believe your material was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, you may submit a counter-notification to our DMCA Agent containing:

1. Your physical or electronic signature
2. Identification of the material that was removed or disabled and its former location
3. A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed by mistake
4. Your name, address, and phone number
5. Consent to the jurisdiction of the federal court in your district

7. Repeat Infringers

HIVE-TV reserves the right to terminate accounts of users or white-label operators who are determined to be repeat infringers of copyright, in accordance with applicable law.

8. White-Label Operator Responsibility

White-label operators using the HIVE-TV platform are independently responsible for ensuring that the content accessible through their branded applications complies with all applicable copyright laws. HIVE-TV is not liable for any content distributed by third-party operators.

9. Good Faith

HIVE-TV takes intellectual property rights seriously. While we do not control third-party content, we cooperate with legitimate rights holders and law enforcement as required by applicable law. We encourage rights holders to contact the IPTV providers directly, as they are the entities hosting and distributing the content in question.
