1. Overview
This Intellectual Property Notice sets out the rights that protect the Beedy platform, brand, and content. It complements — and stands independently of — Section 6 of the Terms of Service. Section 6 binds users who accepted the Terms; this notice is addressed to anyone, registered or not, who visits, copies, scrapes, or otherwise interacts with any part of Beedy's content or interface.
By accessing beedy.app or any related surface, you acknowledge the notice below and the consequences described.
2. Owner & what is owned
Beedy, LLC (Delaware file no. 10637738), registered office at 131 Continental Dr Suite 305, Newark, DE 19713, USA — a Delaware limited liability company formed in the State of Delaware, USA — is the exclusive owner of:
The beedy.app source code and all of its subsystems (front-end, back-end, mobile clients, internal tooling).
The entire visual identity — design, layouts, color palette, typography, iconography, illustrations, animations, micro-interactions, navigation patterns and component library.
The BEEDY name and logo — word mark and figurative mark.
Curated databases (listings, profiles, reviews, market data).
AI models, prompts, embeddings, and evaluation datasets developed by Beedy.
Technical and marketing documentation, white papers, blog content, and product copy.
3. Applicable laws
Beedy's IP is protected under multiple cumulative regimes — US federal and state laws apply to use of the Platform and to Beedy's ownership, and international conventions extend that protection abroad:
US Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. §§ 101–1332 — automatic protection of code, graphic, audio-visual, and literary works; statutory damages up to USD 150,000 per willful infringement (17 U.S.C. § 504(c)).
Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), 17 U.S.C. § 512 — notice-and-takedown safe harbor and remedies for circumvention of technical protection measures (17 U.S.C. § 1201).
Lanham Act, 15 U.S.C. § 1051 et seq. — federal trademark protection for the BEEDY name and logo, plus federal unfair-competition remedies (15 U.S.C. § 1125(a)).
Defend Trade Secrets Act, 18 U.S.C. § 1836 — federal cause of action for misappropriation of Beedy trade secrets (including ranking algorithms and proprietary tooling).
Florida Uniform Trade Secrets Act, Fla. Stat. ch. 688, and other state UTSA enactments — state-level trade secret protection.
Florida Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practices Act (FDUTPA), Fla. Stat. §§ 501.201–501.213, and common-law misappropriation — state-level protection of Beedy's brand, content, and goodwill.
Berne Convention for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works — international copyright protection in all signatory countries (including the US and the European Union).
Applicable common-law and statutory unfair-competition principles, trade-dress doctrine, and computer-fraud statutes (Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, 18 U.S.C. § 1030).
4. Prohibited acts
Without prior written authorisation from Beedy, LLC, no person may:
Clone, mirror, copy, replicate, or otherwise reproduce the Beedy interface — in whole or in substantial part — for any competing or derivative service, free or commercial, on any medium.
Imitate, adapt, or substantially derive the look-and-feel, UI components, page layouts, navigation patterns, animations, color scheme, or visual identity in a way that creates a likelihood of confusion or exploits BEEDY's goodwill.
Scrape, crawl, harvest, mine, index or otherwise extract data from beedy.app by automated or systematic means beyond what is expressly allowed by our robots.txt for standard search-engine crawlers. Bulk extraction of listings, prices, reviews, or user profiles is prohibited regardless of method.
Reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or attempt to derive the source code, ideas, algorithms, file formats or APIs of the Beedy platform, except to the limited extent any such restriction is prohibited by applicable mandatory law.
Incorporate any Beedy code, design files, icons, illustrations, animations, or UI components into another product, service, AI training dataset, template, theme, design system, or library — whether redistributed or not.
Use the platform or its content (including AI-generated outputs) to train, fine-tune, evaluate, or benchmark any machine-learning model, large-language model, or generative-AI system without prior written authorisation.
Circumvent, disable, or interfere with any technical measure intended to control access to or use of the platform — including rate limits, CAPTCHA, authentication, watermarks, or content protection — or with the security and integrity of the platform.
5. Remedies
Any violation of this notice is actionable under the laws cited in Section 3. Beedy may seek immediate injunctive relief in any court of competent jurisdiction (including ex parte / emergency TRO and preliminary injunction to stop ongoing infringement), statutory and actual damages, lost profits, recovery of its reasonable attorneys' fees, and may report the conduct to applicable authorities (US FBI Internet Crime Complaint Center / IC3, US Copyright Office, USPTO, and the Florida Department of Law Enforcement cybercrime unit).
Where the infringer is also a Beedy user, account suspension or termination is automatic and immediate under Section 8 of the Terms of Service.
Statutory damages: Under US Copyright Act 17 U.S.C. § 504(c), statutory damages of up to USD 150,000 per willful infringement may be awarded without proof of actual damage, plus full recovery of attorneys' fees and costs (17 U.S.C. § 505). State trade-secret and unfair-competition statutes provide additional, cumulative remedies. Either regime alone is sufficient grounds for liability.
6. DMCA Notice & Takedown — Designated Agent
To report a suspected infringement of Beedy's intellectual property — or content posted on the Platform that infringes your own copyright — send a written DMCA notice (17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3)) to Beedy's designated agent including all of the following elements (omitting any element may delay processing):
(a) Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to be infringed — title, registration number where available, and a representative copy or URL of the original.
(b) Identification of the allegedly infringing material with sufficient detail to locate it — direct URL, screenshot, archive link (web.archive.org snapshot recommended), and date observed.
(c) Your physical or electronic signature, full legal name, mailing address, telephone number, and email; a statement of your authority to act on behalf of the rights holder; and a good-faith statement that the use is unauthorized by the rights holder, its agent, or the law.
(d) A statement made under penalty of perjury that the information in the notice is accurate. Counter-notices follow the procedure in 17 U.S.C. § 512(g); Beedy's repeat-infringer policy (17 U.S.C. § 512(i)) results in account termination after two substantiated notices within twelve months. Designated DMCA agent: Beedy, LLC, attn: DMCA Agent, 131 Continental Dr Suite 305, Newark, DE 19713, USA — email dmca@beedy.app (acknowledgement within 10 business days). Beedy is in the process of registering the agent with the US Copyright Office DMCA Directory (37 CFR § 201.38); until registration is final, this notice is the public publication required for safe-harbor eligibility.
