IMPORTANT TRADEMARK DISCLAIMER: BitMar is an independent platform utilizing content curation and search-aggregation technology. All product names, brands, and trademarks referenced within this platform are the property of their respective trademark holders. These trademark holders are not affiliated 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 ConditionsThis section outlines the rules and agreement for using our services. Acceptance of TermsBy accessing, browsing, or using the BitMar website, applications, or any related services (collectively, the "Services"), you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by this entire legal document. If you do not agree, you must not access or use 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 ServicesBitMar 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 are responsible for any requirements (e.g., fees, accounts) imposed by those third-party providers. 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 manual administration 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 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. Disclaimer of Warranties and Limitation of LiabilityTHE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED 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 SHALL NOT BE HELD LIABLE 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 ResponsibilitiesALL PERSONAL LICENSES (INCLUDING ALL 'LIFETIME' LICENSES) ARE NON-TRANSFERABLE AND ARE TIED 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. Third-Party Accounts, Payments, and IndemnificationYou 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 ArbitrationThis Agreement is governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Before initiating arbitration, parties must first attempt to resolve disputes informally via WiseSolomon. If not resolved within sixty (60) days, disputes will be settled by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA). The location and venue of any such arbitration shall be exclusively in 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. MiscellaneousThese terms constitute the entire agreement between you and BitMar. If any provision is deemed invalid, the remaining provisions will remain in effect. The Services are intended for users who are 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. 2. Copyright and DMCA PolicyThis section explains how we handle claims of copyright infringement. Since BitMar is mainly powered by Bing, Pluto TV, and Radioline (no endorsements are necessarily being implied)... once the content in question is not accessible, through these providers, neither will it be through BitMar. As such, you may submit any copyright takedown claim/s, directly, to the following providers (and/or to the hosting website; for example: YouTube, Vimeo, etc.):
As a service that provides links to third-party content, BitMar does not host or control the content at its destination. This policy covers the removal of links from our platform. In accordance with Section 512(i) of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, BitMar maintains a strict policy to address repeat infringement. 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 your copyrighted work has been infringed upon by content DIRECTLY linked to from our Services, please submit a notification pursuant to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act ("DMCA") to our Designated Agent with the following information (otherwise, contact any of the relevant provider/s above; to submit your claim):

3. Trademark Notice and Takedown PolicyBitMar 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.
