Legal Terms and Policies:

 

IMPORTANT TRADEMARK DISCLAIMER: BitMar operates as an independent platform that utilizes content curation, and search-aggregation technology. The respective trademark holders exclusively own all product names, brands, and trademarks that this platform references. Unless BitMar explicitly discloses an official partnership, these trademark holders maintain no affiliation with BitMar, our services, or our website, and they do not sponsor, endorse, or offer any guarantees for our platform technology.

This document governs your use of the BitMar services and outlines our policies regarding your privacy and intellectual property rights. By using our Services, you agree to all sections contained herein.


1. Terms and Conditions

This section outlines the rules and agreement for using our services.

Acceptance of Terms

By accessing, browsing, or utilizing the website, applications, or any related services of BitMar Networks (collectively, the "Services", and hereinafter referring to the company as "BitMar"), you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to abide by this entire legal document. If you do not agree, you must not access, or utilize, the Services. BitMar reserves the right to amend, update, or modify this Agreement at any time, in its sole discretion, without prior individual notice, or explicit user permission. BitMar will provide notice of such updates solely by posting the revised terms within the Services, and such modifications shall become effective immediately upon publication. Your continued utilization of the Services, following the posting of any revised terms, establishes your absolute, and binding, acceptance of those amendments.

Description of Services

BitMar provides a platform that operates as a content curator/aggregator and search-engine intermediary, providing organized links to third-party content. You acknowledge that BitMar does not host, store, or control this third-party content, and you bear responsibility for any requirements (e.g., fees, accounts) that those third-party providers impose.

BitMar operates strictly as an information location tool, under Section 512(d) of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. The platform does not host, store, or transmit any media files, nor does it provide direct hyperlinks to specific underlying audio or video content. Instead, the service mainly utilizes curation technology, and algorithmic configuration, in order to route users directly to the dynamic search engine results pages that compliant, third-party general search engines maintain. Because these search results remain under the sole control of the external search engine provider, BitMar exercises no editorial control over the content at the final destinations. Consequently, users acknowledge that BitMar functions purely as a technology intermediary that assists in media discovery, and the platform disclaims all liability regarding the availability, or the copyright status, of the external web data that those independent search engines display. Therefore, the payment for BitMar covers the access to its platform's curation, and search-aggregation technology, rather than the content itself.

You acknowledge that the BitMar platform utilizes algorithmic automation to index and route users to third-party channels. Because these dynamic routing processes operate without continuous manual intervention, BitMar Networks possesses no actual knowledge of the real-time content that resides at any specific destination hyperlink, nor does it monitor these destinations for potential copyright or trademark violations. BitMar Networks derives no financial benefit directly attributable to any infringing activity that may occur upon external websites. Furthermore, the Services do not bypass, decrypt, or circumvent any Digital Rights Management (DRM) systems, paywalls, or access-control technologies that third-party content owners implement. BitMar strictly prohibits users from utilizing the platform to intentionally bypass the security measures of any external provider. Your navigation through these channels strictly constitutes standard web browsing, and BitMar Networks expressly disclaims all liability for the nature, legality, or safety of the content that you subsequently encounter.

Disclaimer of Warranties and Limitation of Liability

BITMAR PROVIDES THE SERVICES ON AN 'AS IS' AND 'AS AVAILABLE' BASIS, WITHOUT ANY WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND. ANY REFERENCES TO 'LIFETIME' OR 'FOR LIFE' OFFERINGS REFER TO THE OPERATIONAL 'LIFE' (LIFESPAN) OF THE SERVICE AND/OR OFFERING IN QUESTION—NOT TO THE USER'S LIFE. BITMAR RESERVES THE RIGHT TO MODIFY, SUSPEND, OR DISCONTINUE ANY PART OF THE SERVICE OR OFFERING AT ANY TIME, REGARDLESS OF SUBSCRIPTION TYPE. BITMAR BEARS NO LIABILITY FOR ANY DELAY OR FAILURE IN PERFORMANCE RESULTING FROM CAUSES BEYOND ITS REASONABLE CONTROL. SUCH CAUSES MAY INCLUDE, BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO: "ACTS OF GOD," WAR, TERRORISM, RIOTS, EMBARGOES, ACTS OF CIVIL OR MILITARY AUTHORITIES, FIRE, FLOODS, ACCIDENTS, NETWORK INFRASTRUCTURE FAILURES, STRIKES, OR SHORTAGES OF TRANSPORTATION FACILITIES, FUEL, ENERGY, LABOR, OR MATERIALS. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMISSIBLE BY LAW, BITMAR DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL BITMAR BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, OR GOODWILL, RESULTING FROM YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF BITMAR NETWORKS, ITS OWNERS, OR ITS AGENTS FOR ANY CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT SHALL NOT EXCEED THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF PAYMENTS THAT YOU ACTUALLY PROVIDED TO BITMAR FOR THE SERVICES. To the fullest extent that applicable law permits, you waive any right to seek or obtain injunctive relief, specific performance, or other equitable remedies that may restrain, enjoin, or otherwise disrupt the operation, development, distribution, or commercialization of the Services or the platform of BitMar Networks. You agree that your sole remedy for any contractual breach that BitMar Networks commits shall consist of an action for monetary damages under the terms and limitations that this Agreement establishes.

User Conduct and Responsibilities

ALL PERSONAL LICENSES (INCLUDING ALL 'LIFETIME' LICENSES) REMAIN NON-TRANSFERABLE AND BIND EXCLUSIVELY TO THE ORIGINAL USER. By using the Services, you agree not to use them for any illegal purpose, reverse-engineer any part of the Services, or interfere with their operation. You acknowledge that any violation of your obligations regarding intellectual property rights or reverse-engineering causes irreparable harm to BitMar Networks. Because monetary damages cannot adequately compensate for this harm, BitMar Networks reserves the right to obtain immediate injunctive relief or equitable remedies from any court of competent jurisdiction. BitMar Networks may seek this relief without the requirement of posting a bond or proving actual damages, in addition to any other remedies that the law provides. You agree to access, and to utilize, the Services strictly for your private, non-commercial media discovery. You shall not commercialize, resell, redistribute, syndicate, exploit, or scrape, the curation technology, or the search-aggregation technology, without express written authorization from BitMar Networks.

Third-Party Accounts, Payments, and Indemnification

You acknowledge that your utilization of the Services may route you to independent, third-party platforms that require separate user accounts, subscriptions, or payments. You bear sole responsibility for compliance with all third-party terms of service, and you assume all financial obligations that those external providers establish. You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless BitMar Networks, its owners, and its agents from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, or expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, arising out of your access to external hyperlinks, your violation of third-party rights, or your breach of this Agreement.

Dispute Resolution, Governing Law, and Arbitration

The laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania govern this Agreement. Before initiating arbitration, both parties must first attempt to resolve disputes informally, via WiseSolomon. If the parties do not resolve the dispute within sixty (60) days, binding arbitration, which the American Arbitration Association (AAA) administers, will settle the dispute; except that BitMar Networks retains the absolute right to pursue immediate injunctive relief, or equitable remedies, within any court of competent jurisdiction, in order to protect its intellectual property rights, or to prevent unauthorized reverse-engineering. The location, and the venue, of any such arbitration shall reside exclusively within Lehigh County, Pennsylvania. YOU, AND BITMAR, WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL, AND TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT. YOU MUST FILE ANY CLAIM, OR CAUSE OF ACTION, ARISING OUT OF, OR RELATING TO, THE SERVICES, OR THIS AGREEMENT, WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER THE UNDERLYING CAUSE OF ACTION ACCRUES. YOUR FAILURE TO FILE A CLAIM WITHIN THIS ONE-YEAR PERIOD CONSTITUTES AN ABSOLUTE, AND IRREVERSIBLE, WAIVER OF SUCH CLAIM, AND THIS PROVISION COMPLETELY BARS ANY SUBSEQUENT LEGAL ACTION, NOTWITHSTANDING ANY STATUTORY LIMITATION TO THE CONTRARY. The prevailing party, in any arbitration, or legal proceeding, arising out of, or relating to, this Agreement, or the Services, shall recover all reasonable attorneys' fees, expert witness fees, and administrative costs, from the non-prevailing party.

Miscellaneous

These terms constitute the entire agreement between you and BitMar. If a court of competent jurisdiction deems any provision invalid, the remaining provisions will remain in effect. BitMar intends the Services for users who have reached at least 18 years of age.

The expiration or termination of this Agreement shall not affect the enforceability of any provision that by its inherent purpose extends beyond such termination. The specific provisions regarding the Disclaimer of Warranties and Limitation of Liability, Third-Party Accounts, Payments, and Indemnification, Dispute Resolution, Governing Law, and Arbitration, and the contractually shortened statute of limitations shall survive the termination of this Agreement and shall remain fully binding upon both parties indefinitely.

No failure or delay by BitMar in exercising any right, power, or privilege under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver of that right, power, or privilege. Furthermore, the single or partial exercise of any right, power, or privilege shall not preclude any other or further exercise of that right, or the exercise of any other right, power, or privilege. Any waiver by BitMar remains valid only if BitMar explicitly provides such waiver in a signed, written document.

This Agreement does not create, and you shall not construe it to create, any partnership, joint venture, employment, franchise, or agency relationship between you and BitMar Networks. Furthermore, the curation of third-party hyperlinks within the Services does not establish any association, joint venture, or agency relationship between BitMar Networks and any external trademark holder or service provider.

BitMar Networks reserves the right to assign, transfer, or delegate its rights and obligations under this Agreement, completely or partially, to any entity at any time without prior notice or your consent. Conversely, you shall not assign, transfer, or sublicense your rights, obligations, or account under this Agreement to any third party without the express, written consent of BitMar Networks. Any attempted assignment that occurs without this prior written authorization carries no legal validity.

This Agreement exists solely for the benefit of the parties to this Agreement and their respective permitted successors and assigns. Nothing contained within this Agreement, express or implied, confers or intends to confer upon any third party, including external media providers or streaming networks, any legal or equitable right, benefit, or remedy of any nature.

By utilizing the Services, you consent to receive communications from BitMar Networks electronically. You agree that all electronic agreements, notices, and disclosures from BitMar Networks satisfy every legal requirement for written documentation.

The section headings and titles within this Agreement exist strictly for organizational convenience. These headings carry no independent legal weight, and they do not alter, limit, or affect the substantive meaning or interpretation of any provision.

No verbal assurances, oral representations, or communications from customer support representatives shall alter, modify, or supplement the written provisions of this Agreement. You acknowledge that you may not rely upon any external statements or informal representations, and such communications do not establish any warranty or binding obligation upon BitMar Networks.

If you submit suggestions, ideas, feedback, or feature requests to BitMar Networks regarding the Services, you hereby assign all rights, titles, and interests in such feedback to BitMar Networks. BitMar Networks may utilize, implement, and commercialize this feedback for any purpose without any obligation to compensate you or provide confidentiality.

The parties agree that any rule of law requiring the interpretation of ambiguities against the drafting party shall carry no application to this Agreement. A tribunal shall interpret this contract neutrally, regardless of which party drafted the provisions.


This section explains how we handle claims of copyright infringement.

Because external search engines—such, as: Bing—index the media that BitMar aggregates, you must submit any requests to remove the underlying source content directly to those specific external providers (for example: Bing, YouTube, or Vimeo). BitMar cannot remove media files from third-party servers.

However, if you require the removal of a specific search-aggregation link exclusively from the BitMar platform, you must follow our internal takedown procedure. BitMar maintains a strict policy to address repeat infringement, in accordance with Section 512(i) of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. Although the platform does not host, control, or transmit external media under the 'Server Test' doctrine, BitMar reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to permanently terminate access to any external web domain, website, or source that rights holders repeatedly identify as an unauthorized distributor of copyrighted material.

BitMar respects the intellectual property rights of others. If you believe that content, which you discover through the search-aggregation channels of our Services, infringes upon your copyrighted work, please submit a notification pursuant to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act ("DMCA") to our Designated Agent, providing the following information (otherwise, contact any of the relevant providers above, in order to submit your claim):

  1. A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorized to act on their behalf.
  2. Identification of the copyrighted work that you claim the content infringes.
  3. Identification of the specific search-aggregation channel, or the curation keyword, upon our platform, that directs users to the material that you claim infringes, and that you demand BitMar to remove.
  4. Your contact information, including your address, telephone number, and an email address.
  5. A statement that you have a good faith belief that the copyright owner, its agent, or the law does not authorize the use of the material in the manner that prompts your complaint.
  6. A statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and, under penalty of perjury, that the copyright owner authorizes you to act on their behalf.

3. Trademark Notice and Takedown Policy

BitMar defines "channels" as curated hyperlinks to third-party Uniform Resource Locators (URLs) that utilize algorithmically sourced data to connect to external content. BitMar uses trademarked names solely for descriptive identification under the "Nominative Fair Use" doctrine to assist users in locating any officially published content online, as the brand-specific keywords added to each channel imply.

The platform conducts this curation solely for the benefit of users. BitMar does not generate revenue from the underlying third-party media; unless BitMar maintains an official partnership with the respective provider. You acknowledge that although BitMar Networks may display advertisements within other separate sections of the platform, the platform does not place or exhibit any advertisements within the specific section where third-party (brand-specific) curated links reside. This operational separation ensures that alternative monetization remains entirely distinct from the curation system, carries no connection to the channels, and exists strictly to support platform operations. Although the aforementioned doctrine does not require BitMar to honor trademark removal notifications, the platform welcomes such requests in good faith at https://bitmar.com/legal/contact/. Furthermore, BitMar recommends that content owners monetize the complimentary traffic that the platform delivers to their content, rather than completely forgoing this opportunity.

You acknowledge and agree that your utilization of the curated hyperlinks that BitMar Networks designates as 'channels' within the Services constitutes independent browsing of the public internet. BitMar Networks does not review, verify, or endorse the safety, security, functionality, or operational condition of these external hyperlinks. You assume all risks that arise from your access to third-party websites through these channels, including exposure to malware, computer viruses, malicious scripts, or data tracking mechanisms. BitMar Networks disclaims all liability for any damage to your hardware, software, or data that results from your decision to navigate through these channels. You acknowledge that BitMar Networks maintains no duty or obligation to monitor, screen, police, or continuously review the external web destinations or content to which the channels connect. Third-party providers may alter, modify, or remove their content at any time without the knowledge of BitMar Networks. BitMar Networks does not guarantee the ongoing accuracy, lawfulness, or appropriateness of any external hyperlink, and the platform disclaims any responsibility to update or remove channels based on changes that external parties implement.


4. Privacy Policy

This section details how we collect, use, and handle, your data. BITMAR PROVIDES LINKS TO CONTENT THAT INDEPENDENT THIRD-PARTY CONTROLLERS OWN AND OPERATE. BITMAR DOES NOT MAINTAIN CONTROL OVER THE PRIVACY PRACTICES, OR THE DATA DELETION POLICIES, OF THESE EXTERNAL ENTITIES. UPON ACCESSING THIRD-PARTY CONTENT, YOU SUBMIT TO THE PRIVACY POLICIES OF THOSE PROVIDERS. YOU MUST DIRECT ALL DATA ACCESS REQUESTS, OR DELETION REQUESTS, RELATED TO EXTERNAL SERVICES, TO THE RESPECTIVE THIRD-PARTY PROVIDER.

Information We Collect

NOTICE TO NON-U.S. USERS: BITMAR MAINTAINS ITS HEADQUARTERS WITHIN THE UNITED STATES. IF YOU ACCESS THE SERVICES FROM OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT WE WILL TRANSFER, STORE, AND PROCESS, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WITHIN THE UNITED STATES. DATA PROTECTION LAWS WITHIN THE UNITED STATES MAY VARY FROM THOSE WITHIN YOUR JURISDICTION. BY UTILIZING THE SERVICES, OR BY VOLUNTARILY PROVIDING YOUR INFORMATION, YOU CONSENT TO THIS TRANSFER, AND TO THE UTILIZATION OF YOUR DATA, AS THIS PRIVACY POLICY OUTLINES. YOU FURTHER UNDERSTAND THAT GOVERNMENT AUTHORITIES MAY ACCESS YOUR INFORMATION, PURSUANT TO LAWFUL ORDERS.

We collect personal information when you place an order, when you contact us, or when you create an account. This personal information includes your name, your email address, your payment information, and your IP address. We also collect usage data through cookies, scripts, and server-side logging, in order to understand how users interact with our platform, and to improve our Services. This usage data includes your browser type, your user agent, and the specific pages that you visit.

Third-Party Service Providers

We partner with third parties, in order to operate, and to improve, our services. We do not exchange your personal information for direct monetary compensation; however, specific privacy regulations classify our utilization of third-party advertising networks as the "selling," or the "sharing," of data. These partners include:

  • Blogger Platform: Because Google Blogger powers our blog (blog.bitmar.com), Google servers automatically collect, and log, the IP addresses, and the user agents, of our visitors, in order to generate built-in statistics. This tracking process operates without injecting persistent tracking cookies, into your browser. Because this data collection occurs at the server level, you cannot opt out of this specific logging process, unless you utilize a Virtual Private Network (VPN), in order to mask your IP address.
  • Payment Service Providers: We collect personal information that is necessary in order to provide our services such as for payment (Elavon), and records purposes (CoreCommerce).
  • Analytics Providers: We share usage data, behavioral data, and your IP address, with services—such, as: Google Analytics, Fastbase, StatCounter, Browsee, and Shareaholic—in order to analyze user interaction, to facilitate content sharing, and to compile platform statistics.
  • Advertising Partners: We may partner with ad networks like ExoClick to deliver interest-based advertising. Since the Services link to third-party content, you may encounter other ad partners governed by the respective content provider's policies.

Your Choices and Opt-Outs

You may opt out of communications and data collection from us and our partners using the links below.

BitMar does not maintain internal scripts to intercept, or to process, automated browser signals—such, as: the Global Privacy Control (GPC). Because independent third-party networks host our infrastructure, and deliver our advertisements, you must utilize the specific opt-out links that we provide above, in order to guarantee the removal of your data from their specific systems. While specific external providers—such, as: Microsoft—actively receive, and respond to, GPC signals, we cannot guarantee that every third-party network honors these automated requests.

REGARDLESS OF YOUR LOCATION, YOU POSSESS THE RIGHT TO: (1) CONFIRM WHETHER WE PROCESS YOUR DATA; (2) ACCESS, AND DELETE, YOUR PERSONAL DATA, SUBJECT TO MANDATORY LEGAL EXCEPTIONS; (3) CORRECT INACCURACIES; (4) OPT OUT OF TARGETED ADVERTISING; AND (5) OBTAIN A PORTABLE COPY OF YOUR DATA. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT WE MUST RETAIN SPECIFIC FINANCIAL RECORDS, AND PAYMENT DATA, IN ORDER TO COMPLY WITH TAX REGULATIONS, AND ACCOUNTING LAWS, DESPITE ANY DELETION REQUEST THAT YOU SUBMIT. WE WILL RESPOND TO ALL REQUESTS WITHIN FORTY-FIVE (45) DAYS. IF WE DENY A REQUEST, YOU MAY APPEAL THE DECISION, BY CONTACTING US, AT: BITMAR.COM/SUPPORT/. BITMAR DOES NOT PROCESS SENSITIVE DATA (SUCH AS PRECISE GEOLOCATION OR BIOMETRICS) WITHOUT YOUR PRIOR, EXPLICIT CONSENT.

BitMar will never discriminate against you for exercising your legal privacy rights. If you choose to request data access, to delete your personal information, or to opt out of targeted advertising, BitMar will not deny you access to the Services, charge you different prices, or provide a lower quality of service.


5. Refund Policy

ALL SALES (INCLUDING FOR 'LIFETIME' ACCESS) REMAIN FINAL. BITMAR SHALL ISSUE NO REFUNDS, EITHER FULL OR PARTIAL. BitMar maintains a strict no-refund policy. However, we will make reasonable efforts to provide you with continuous, uninterrupted access to your purchased platform curation services, for your personal use, as we determine appropriate.
