These Terms govern your use of the Bidatv mobile application and related services in the United States and other regions where we make the App available. Please read them carefully.
1. Acceptance
Welcome to Bidatv (“Bidatv,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). By downloading, accessing, or using the Bidatv app (the “App”), you agree to these Terms of Service (the “Terms”). If you do not agree, do not use the App.
You must be at least 18 years of age (or the age of majority in your state, province, or country, whichever is higher) to register for or use the App. The App is not available to anyone under 18. By using the App, you represent and warrant that you meet this requirement.
The App is not directed to children. We do not knowingly permit use by, or collect personal information from, anyone under 18.
2. The Service
Bidatv is a live streaming and social interaction platform. Depending on your role and app version, features may include:
Discover & watch — browse live rooms by category, join as a viewer, follow hosts, and open profiles;
Host broadcasting — available only to users who submit a host application through the in-App channel and are approved by us; approved hosts may choose video live or Party voice-chat when going live, set a cover, title, and welcome message, broadcast, and view end-of-stream stats (duration, viewers, new followers, gems received);
Party voice-chat rooms — multi-seat voice rooms with public chat and gifts; users may apply or be invited to join a mic seat; the room owner manages seats (e.g., lock, mute, remove from seat); regular users on a mic seat may use audio only; only approved hosts (including the Party room owner) may turn on camera/video on a Party mic seat, as shown in the App;
Beauty & video effects — optional beauty, filter, sticker, and image-quality tools before or during a broadcast (where available); effects are optional and may vary by device and network;
Live chat — public chat, entry messages, and system notices in rooms;
Virtual gifts — viewers send gifts using in-app Coins; only approved hosts receive Gems from gifts, which are used to calculate earnings under platform rules;
Prop Shop & Dress Up — purchase and equip virtual decorations with Coins, including avatar frames, entry banners (entry float effects shown when joining a live room), and entry mounts (entry vehicle effects). Owned items can be managed in Dress Up and displayed in live rooms and profiles as described in the App;
PK battles — quick match or invite another host; warm-up, battle, and penalty phases; contribution rankings and history;
Guest audio — voice co-host seats (apply, invite, mute, leave); PK and guest audio may be mutually exclusive as shown in the App;
Wallet — view balances and transaction history where available;
Trust & safety — report users, host moderation tools (e.g., remove from room), system notifications, and account deletion.
We may add, change, suspend, or discontinue features at any time. The App relies on third-party real-time audio/video and messaging infrastructure; availability may vary with network conditions and provider policies.
3. Your Account
You sign in with a valid email address and a one-time verification code. You agree to provide accurate information and keep it current.
You are responsible for all activity under your account. Do not share, sell, or transfer your account.
Viewer vs. host. All registered users may watch live streams and use viewer features (e.g., chat, sending gifts with Coins). Going live is not available to every user. You must apply to become a host through the designated in-App application process. We review applications and may approve or deny them at our discretion. Only after approval do you receive host privileges (including broadcasting and a Gem balance).
We may revoke host status, suspend broadcasting, or terminate any account that violates these Terms, applicable law, or our community standards.
Notify us promptly at bdtvService@163.com if you suspect unauthorized access.
4. Content & Community Standards
You are solely responsible for content you create, stream, upload, or share—including video, audio, text, images, and profile information. You agree not to:
Violate any federal, state, local, or international law, or applicable platform rules;
Post sexual content involving minors, non-consensual intimate imagery, or content that exploits or endangers minors;
Promote violence, terrorism, hate, harassment, bullying, or credible threats;
Engage in fraud, scams, impersonation, or spam;
Use beauty, filters, stickers, or other effects to disguise identity, evade moderation, or distribute prohibited content;
Infringe copyrights, trademarks, privacy, or publicity rights;
Interfere with the App, use bots or unauthorized automation, or attempt to reverse engineer our software;
Collect personal information about other users without their consent.
We may review reports and use automated or manual tools to enforce these standards. We may remove content, restrict features, mute users, remove users from a room, or permanently ban accounts. We may report illegal activity to law enforcement where appropriate.
5. Live Streaming, Party Rooms, PK & Guest Audio
Host approval required. Only users with approved host status may create and manage live streams (video live or Party). Attempting to broadcast without approval, or circumventing the application process, is prohibited.
Permissions. Going live requires camera and microphone access where you use video or audio features. You represent that you have the rights to broadcast your content.
Video live vs. Party. When starting a stream, approved hosts may select video live or Party voice-chat. Video live is a video-forward broadcast. Party rooms are voice-chat rooms with mic seats; video on a Party mic seat is available only to approved hosts (including the room owner). Regular users who join a Party mic seat may use audio only and cannot enable video on that seat.
Party mic seats. Users may request or be invited to join a seat subject to room rules and availability. The room owner may lock seats, mute users, or remove users from a seat. You must follow in-App prompts and host instructions.
Party room gifts. In Party voice-chat rooms, virtual gifts may be sent only to the room owner and approved-host guests on mic seats, as shown in the gift panel. Regular users on a mic seat cannot receive gifts. You cannot send gifts to yourself. Approved hosts who join a Party room as a guest on mic may send gifts to the room owner or to other approved-host guests on mic, subject to the same rules.
Beauty & effects. Optional beauty and video effects process your camera image to apply the settings you choose. We do not guarantee a particular visual result on all devices, lighting conditions, or faces. Third-party effect SDKs may affect availability or performance.
PK rules. Phase timing, scoring, and penalties are described in-app (e.g., “PK Rules”). Leaving a PK early may count as a loss for your side, as stated in the App.
Guest audio. In video live rooms, hosts control co-host seats and may mute or remove guests. Accepting a PK invite may disable guest audio, as indicated before you confirm.
Host tools. Hosts may remove viewers from a room for violations. Removed users may be temporarily unable to rejoin. Users may block or mute others as described in the App.
6. Virtual Currency, Gifts & Decorations
Coins may be purchased (where available) and are used by viewers to send virtual gifts in live rooms and to purchase virtual decorations in the Prop Shop (for example, avatar frames, entry banners, and entry mounts). Coins are for in-app use only. Viewer accounts do not hold Gems.
Virtual decorations are digital items for display in the App (such as on your profile avatar, when you enter a live room, or in related in-app scenes). They may be time-limited or permanent as shown at purchase. Decorations are licensed for personal in-app use only, have no cash value, cannot be redeemed for money, and generally cannot be transferred, resold, or exchanged except as we expressly allow in writing.
Gems are available only on approved host accounts. When viewers send gifts during your live stream, or when you receive gifts in a Party room as the room owner or an approved-host guest on a mic seat, the platform credits Gems to your host account according to applicable rules. Gems are used to calculate your earnings and income settlement on the platform (including display in Wallet and earnings settlement features as described in the App). Regular users on a Party mic seat do not receive Gems from gifts sent to them because they cannot be selected as gift recipients. Gem balances, conversion rates, minimum thresholds, and settlement schedules are set by us and may change with notice where required.
Virtual currency, gifts, decorations, and related benefits have no cash value outside our published settlement rules, are not legal tender, and generally cannot be exchanged or transferred except as we expressly allow in writing.
Purchases processed through the Apple App Store (or other stores) are also subject to the store’s terms and refund policies. Except where required by law, all sales are final.
Because the App is limited to users 18 and older, you must not purchase Coins or use paid features unless you meet the age requirement above.
If your account is terminated for cause, unused virtual assets may be forfeited without compensation.
7. Reports & Enforcement
You may submit reports with a reason and optional screenshots. We review reports in good faith but do not guarantee a particular outcome. Hosts may moderate their rooms within applicable law and these Terms.
8. Intellectual Property
The App, including software, design, logos, and documentation, is owned by us or our licensors and protected by intellectual property laws. You may not copy, modify, distribute, or create derivative works without our written permission. Built-in beauty filters, stickers, and related effect assets are licensed for use within the App only and may not be extracted or redistributed.
You retain ownership of your content. You grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, store, reproduce, display, and distribute your content solely to operate, promote, and improve the Service.
9. Disclaimers & Limitation of Liability
THE APP AND ALL CONTENT ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.
WE ARE NOT LIABLE FOR USER-TO-USER DISPUTES, USER CONTENT, OR ACTIONS OF HOSTS OR VIEWERS. WE DO NOT GUARANTEE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE SERVICE.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING OUT OF THESE TERMS OR THE APP SHALL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) USD $100 OR (B) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW CERTAIN LIMITATIONS; IN THOSE CASES, OUR LIABILITY IS LIMITED TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.
California residents: You may have rights under California Civil Code § 1542 regarding unknown claims. Where applicable, you waive such rights to the extent allowed by law.
10. Account Deletion
You may request account deletion in Settings → Delete Account. Deletion is permanent and cannot be undone. After deletion, you will be signed out immediately. The rules below depend on whether your account is a regular user (viewer) account or an approved host account.
10.1 Regular user (viewer) accounts
If you have not been approved as a host, or you are using the App only as a viewer, account deletion works as follows:
Your profile, follow relationships, and chat history may be deleted or anonymized;
Any Coins remaining in your account will be cleared without refund;
Unused virtual items and benefits (including Coins, virtual gifts, and purchased decorations such as avatar frames, entry banners, and entry mounts) may be forfeited;
Some information may be retained where required by law (for example, certain transaction or compliance records).
The App may show you a summary of these consequences before you confirm deletion.
10.2 Approved host accounts
If your account has approved host status, additional rules apply before you may delete your account:
Gem balance must be zero. Only host accounts hold Gems. You must reduce your Gem balance to zero through methods provided by the platform before deletion. If your Gem balance is greater than zero, the App may block deletion and prompt you to clear Gems first.
Earnings must be settled. You must fully settle all outstanding earnings related to your host activity—including completing any pending earnings settlements, resolving holds, chargebacks, or platform adjustments—so that no unpaid or unsettled host income remains on your account. We may refuse or delay deletion until settlement is complete.
After the above conditions are met, deletion may remove your profile, live-stream data, earnings records, and related host information, subject to legal retention requirements;
Any Coins in your account will be cleared without refund, as with regular users.
The in-App deletion flow and notices describe the current Gem balance and settlement status. If you have questions about settling earnings, contact bdtvService@163.com before requesting deletion.
10.3 Effect of deletion
Once deletion is processed, you cannot restore your account or recover deleted data. We may retain limited information as required by law, fraud prevention, dispute resolution, or enforcement of these Terms.
11. General Provisions
Changes. We may update these Terms by posting a revised version in the App or at our website. Material changes will be communicated through reasonable means. Continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance.
Governing law. These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, USA, without regard to conflict-of-law rules, except where mandatory consumer protection laws in your state of residence apply.
Disputes. Except for claims that qualify for small claims court, disputes shall be resolved by binding arbitration on an individual basis under the rules of the American Arbitration Association, unless you opt out within 30 days of first accepting these Terms by emailing bdtvService@163.com with subject “Arbitration Opt-Out.” You waive class actions to the extent permitted by law.
