Welcome to Hiver App (“Hiver”, “we”, “our”, or “us”). These Terms of Use govern your access to and use of the Hiver mobile application, website, services, and associated platforms (collectively, the “App”).

By downloading, installing, accessing, or using Hiver, you agree to be bound by these Terms, our Privacy Policy, and our End User Licence Agreement (EULA). If you do not agree, you must not use the App.

You must be at least 16 years of age, or the legal adult age in your jurisdiction, and never under 13 anywhere, to use Hiver.

You are responsible for:

• Maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials
   
• All activity occurring under your account
   

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts we reasonably believe are operated by underage users or violate these Terms.

You agree not to:

• Post illegal, obscene, defamatory, hateful, abusive, or threatening content

You are solely responsible for all content you upload.

By uploading content, you grant Hiver a worldwide, perpetual, royalty-free, transferable licence to host, use, reproduce, display, and distribute your content for operating and promoting the App.

We may remove or restrict content at our discretion without notice.

All intellectual property relating to Hiver — including the Hiver™ name, branding, code, interface, gamification systems (Hives, HivePoints, badges, algorithms), and design — is owned exclusively by Hiver App (ABN 17 929 737 261).

You must not copy, clone, or create competing products that substantially replicate the App or its systems. This obligation applies globally for ten (10) years from your first use and survives termination.

Breach may result in injunctive relief, damages, and recovery of legal costs.

Hiver is provided “as is” and “as available.”
We disclaim all warranties, including merchantability, fitness for purpose, and non-infringement, to the fullest extent permitted by law.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Hiver is not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential losses.

Our total liability is limited to AUD $100, except where Australian Consumer Law requires otherwise, in which case remedies are limited to resupply or the cost of resupply.

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Hiver from claims arising from:

• Your use or misuse of the App
   
• Your uploaded content
   
• Breach of these Terms
   
• Violation of third-party rights
   

We may suspend or terminate your access at any time without notice. Upon termination, all licences granted to you cease immediately.

These Terms are governed by the laws of Western Australia, Australia.
Disputes must first be raised via email. If unresolved after 30 days, disputes may be resolved by binding arbitration in Perth, WA. Class actions are waived where permitted by law.
