Your content and your rights
You keep your intellectual property rights in original content you create and upload to Velaris Management Group LLC (“Xive”)—such as video, audio, images, text, titles, thumbnails, and metadata—subject only to the licenses you voluntarily grant us in the Terms of Service and any separate creator, partner, or distribution agreements you sign.
- Uploading someone else’s work without permission does not make it yours; you are responsible for clearing rights before you post.
- If you collaborate with others, you warrant that you have authority to bind co-creators or that you have obtained the licenses you need from them.
- The Terms of Service remain the binding contract; this page summarizes ownership topics for readability.
License you grant to Xive
We cannot run a global platform without permission to copy, move, and transform your files in ordinary technical ways. The exact scope, territory, exclusivity, and whether royalties apply are set out in the Terms and any addenda; this section restates the intent.
- Hosting, caching, transcoding, resizing, encrypting, backing up, and delivering your content to viewers across devices and networks.
- Public performance and display, including in search, recommendations, notifications, and marketing surfaces where your agreements and settings allow promotion of the Services or your channel.
- Adaptation strictly for technical or accessibility purposes—for example, generating captions, thumbnails, previews, or alternate bitrates—unless a separate feature requires an additional opt-in.
- Reasonable retention of copies for reliability, fraud prevention, and dispute resolution, as further described in our Data Retention Policy.
What you must not upload without proper rights
Our Community Standards and Enforcement Policy apply on top of copyright and trademark law. Common problem areas include:
- Commercial music, samples, stock footage, or broadcast clips unless you have a license that covers internet streaming and our territories.
- Third-party trademarks, logos, or branded assets used in a way that implies endorsement you do not have.
- Likenesses of real people (including deepfakes) where you lack consent or a valid legal basis.
- Software, links, or instructions whose primary purpose is to pirate, crack, or circumvent technical protection measures.
Repeat infringement or egregious violations may lead to strikes, demonetization, or account termination, in line with our copyright, enforcement, and appeals processes.
Removals, moderation, and records
We may remove, geo-block, age-restrict, or demote content that violates law or our policies. Taking a piece down does not erase history entirely:
- We may retain minimal records needed to enforce repeat-infringer policies, respond to regulators, or defend legal claims, consistent with our Data Retention Policy.
- If you delete your account, retention of certain items may still apply where the law or a dispute requires preservation.
- If you believe a removal was wrong, follow the Appeals Process after reviewing the enforcement notice.
Feedback and suggestions
Ideas you send us about products, features, or business strategy are treated differently from creative uploads:
- Unless we sign a separate written agreement that says otherwise, you grant Xive a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free license to use, disclose, and incorporate feedback without restriction or compensation to you, except where applicable law forbids that bargain.
- Feedback does not obligate us to ship a feature or credit you publicly.
