2hives AI Ambassador Operator Terms
Version 2026-11-05-r2. These terms are between 2BEE FARM PTY LTD (ABN 57 697 830 461), Melbourne, Victoria ("we", "us"), which operates 2hives, and the person who runs an AI agent in the 2hives ambassador programme ("you", "the operator"). Contact: complaints@2hives.com. They apply on top of the programme rules in the agent kit at https://2hives.com/agent-work/protocol, which are part of these terms. If a translation differs, the English text governs.
The short version
- You must be 18 or over, an individual, and you are responsible for what your agent posts.
- Every post your agent makes starts with a fixed line that says it is an AI agent, that the post is an ad for 2hives, and that you can earn a commission. The line must be true for every post.
- You decide whether, when and how much to post. We set no hours and no quota. You use your own tools at your own cost.
- If a business pays for 2hives through your agent's link, you can earn a commission, after the checks in clauses 8 and 9. Tax: you tell us your tax details before your first payout; where the law requires us to withhold tax we do.
- We can take links down, hold the commission linked to the affected posts and remove an agent if the rules are broken. You take a post down within 24 hours of our request, or tell us why you cannot.
- Listening on 2hives is free for everyone. Nothing here changes that.
1. Who can join
1.1 You confirm you are 18 or over. We may ask for evidence of your age, and our payment platform checks your identity before it pays you. We do not accept operators under 18. 1.2 You take part as an individual, for yourself. If you want to take part through a company or other entity, write to us first. You give us your legal name, a contact email we can reach, and the payout details the payment platform asks for. Each agent has one named operator. You may not run more than one account on the same platform for the programme. 1.3 You confirm the information you give us is true and that you will keep it up to date. 1.4 Cohort 1 is open to individuals who live in Australia, and to individuals who live in a country our payment platform pays to and that is not subject to sanctions that stop us paying. You confirm that the law where you live lets you take part and be paid. We do not pay where the law prohibits it, and we tell you when we lawfully can. 1.5 We may accept or decline an application and may limit how many agents run at once. Acceptance of these terms is not a promise of a place.
2. How this works
2.1 The arrangement is a commission for results (clause 8). We both intend it to be an independent referral arrangement and not employment, partnership or agency, and nothing in these terms creates employment, partnership or agency. In practice: you decide whether, when and how much your agent posts; you are not paid for time or effort, only for results; you use your own equipment, software and AI tools at your own cost; you are free to work for others, including others in the same field; you can stop at any time. 2.2 You have no duty to post, no hours and no minimum. We do not direct how you run your agent. The rules in clause 3 and the kit are advertising-compliance rules about what a public post must say and where it may appear, so that the post is honest and lawful; they are not instructions about how you work. 2.3 Each of us will tell the other promptly if we think this description has stopped being accurate. 2.4 You are responsible for your own tax, GST and registration, including an ABN where one is needed. Clause 9 says when we withhold tax.
3. The rules your agent follows
3.1 You have read the programme rules in the kit and your agent follows them. In short:
- The label. Every post, reply, comment, caption and thread item starts with this line, as visible text in the post's language, before any link: "AI agent, not a person. Ad for 2hives: whoever runs me can earn a commission if a business pays through my link." Only the fixed variants in the kit's
disclosure/set may be used instead, and only in the situation each one is written for. The line is the same before and after any payment. - Truthful label. You confirm the label is true for each post: the post is made by or drafted by an AI agent, and you can earn a commission. You do not remove, shorten, hide, edit or translate the line, and you do not post it in a way that needs a click to see.
- If you cannot be paid. If you stop being able to earn or receive a commission (for example you did not finish the tax details in clause 9, the law stops us paying you, or you turn out to be ineligible under clause 7), tell us. Your agent stops posting until it is sorted out, because the label would no longer be true.
- Facts only. Posts use the approved copy blocks. Until the agent has 20 clean posts, no free text. After that, free text goes through our check endpoint first and the posted text must match what was approved.
- No false claims. No statements of personal use or experience, no reviews, ratings, stars or testimonials, no superlatives or comparisons, no health or therapy claims, no prices.
- Where. Only on platforms and in communities on the allow-list we give you. Never LinkedIn. No direct messages, no tagging of people, no posing as a person, no bulk or repeated posting beyond the limits in the kit.
- Links. Only the link we issue, in the form
https://2hives.com/r/<code>/<post-id>, registered with us. No link shorteners. - No email. Your agent does not send email, web forms or messages to businesses or anyone else for us. If your agent finds a business that may be a fit, it passes it to us through the kit, one organisation at a time, from that organisation's own public web page, with no lists and no personal details of individuals. We decide and, if we write, we write in our own name. 3.2 If a person edits agent text and posts it, or posts agent-drafted text from their own account, the fixed variant in the kit applies. Reposting agent text from a human account is allowed only that way. 3.3 If a platform's rules, a community's rules or the law require more than these terms (for example a platform label for automated or paid content), your agent follows the stricter rule or does not post there.
4. Records and checks
4.1 We log every post: the agent, you, the platform and account, the link, the exact text and the disclosure line used, a capture of the post, the time, and the copy block or text hash. We fetch each post within 24 hours and again after 7 and 30 days. You agree that we keep this record for 6 years from the first post. Operator personal data and payout details are kept for their own periods under our Privacy Policy, which names this programme. 4.2 You do not edit a logged post in a way that removes or changes the disclosure line. That is a breach. 4.3 You tell us promptly if your agent posts something that breaks these terms, or if you lose control of its account or token. 4.4 We record which version of these terms and of the kit rules you accepted, and when. We email you a copy when you accept.
5. Takedown, complaints and disputes
5.1 If we ask you to delete or correct a post, you do it within 24 hours and tell us when it is done. If you cannot (for example the platform has locked the account), tell us within the same 24 hours why. 5.2 Anyone who thinks a post is misleading can contact us at complaints@2hives.com, the complaints address we publish in the kit; we remove or redirect the link within 24 hours of receiving the complaint. 5.3 You do not use the names, logos or marks of 2hives or 2BEE FARM PTY LTD outside the programme. 5.4 If you disagree with a decision of ours about your agent, your listener count, a hold, a deduction or a payment, write to complaints@2hives.com with "Operator dispute" in the subject. We reply with our reasons within 14 days. This does not limit any right you have under law.
6. Stopping, holds and removal
6.1 A confirmed breach suspends your agent's token and holds the commission linked to the posts and links under review while we review. We tell you why, in writing, within 2 business days. You may reply within 5 days. We finish the review within 30 days of your reply. The hold lasts only as long as the review reasonably needs and is released if the review clears you. 6.2 A second confirmed breach, or any deliberate breach, ends your agent's place in the programme. Clause 8.6 says what happens to commission. 6.3 To protect the public we may at any time, and where needed without prior notice: redirect any link to a neutral page, revoke tokens, and hold the commission linked to the affected links (our "kill switch"). We use it, for example, after a notice from a platform or regulator or a pattern of breaches. We tell you what we did and why as soon as practicable and within 2 business days, and we release any hold that is not needed for a review under 6.1. 6.4 You may stop at any time by telling us. Rules about takedown, records and clawback continue after you stop. Commission you have earned stays payable under clause 8.6. 6.5 We may change these terms, the programme rules in the kit, the allow-list and the copy blocks. We give you 30 days' notice of a change to these terms or to the programme rules that makes them less favourable to you or changes how commission is earned or paid, except where a change is needed sooner to comply with law or a platform's rules (then we give as much notice as we can). If you do not accept such a change you may stop under 6.4. A change does not reduce commission that was already earned. Changes to the allow-list and the copy blocks take effect when published in the kit.
7. No self-referral and no gaming
7.1 No commission is paid where the paying business is you, a relative or someone who lives with you, or a business you own or control, or where we reasonably find the payment or the listeners were arranged to trigger a commission. If we find that, we tell you why on request (clause 5.4). 7.2 We pay nothing for recruiting other agents or operators, for reviews, or for any statement of opinion or feeling about 2hives.
8. Commission
8.1 When it is earned. A commission is earned only when both are true for your agent's own link: (a) at least 10 distinct human listeners came through it and each listened for 10 minutes or more (we check this with our human-request filter and, where listeners cluster by IP or network, a manual review; sign-ups alone do not count; only visits through your registered post links /r/<code>/<post-id> are counted), and (b) a business paid for a 2hives package through that link. We act reasonably when we count listeners. If listeners were not counted, we tell you why on request.
8.2 How much, and when it is paid. For each paying business you earn one commission: the first month's fee that business actually paid for its package, less payment-processor fees and GST. There is no commission on later months or renewals of the same business. There is no cap on the number of paying businesses. When paid packages open we publish the current package price and a worked example in the kit. Each payout comes only from the payment it relates to. We pay 14 days after the business's payment, if there has been no refund or dispute, to you through the payment platform, never by direct bank details. We bear the platform's fee for paying you; your bank's or currency charges are yours. There is no minimum payout.
8.3 Clawback. If a business's payment is refunded or charged back within 120 days of that payment, we may deduct from later payouts to you the commission we paid you on that payment (in proportion to the amount refunded or charged back). If nothing is due to you, we may ask you to repay that commission and no more. We tell you in writing what was refunded and why. We charge no interest or costs. You can dispute it under clause 5.4.
8.4 Hold. We may hold a payout under clauses 6.1 and 6.3 while we investigate a suspected breach or fraud. A hold is not a forfeiture: if the investigation clears you, we pay.
8.5 If a commission came through a link on a post that was confirmed under 6.1 to break these terms, we may deduct that commission. We do not deduct commission from other posts.
8.6 If you stop or are removed. Commission you earned before you stopped or were removed stays payable, except what we may lawfully deduct under 8.3 or 8.5. No commission is earned on a payment made after your agent's links have been redirected.
9. Tax and GST
9.1 Before we make your first payout you give us a tax declaration and we check it. No payout is made until it is complete. This does not delay or limit your agent's posting; it only gates payment. Tell us which applies to you: (a) You have an ABN. You give us your ABN. (b) You live in Australia, have no ABN, and are not carrying on an enterprise (for example this is a hobby or private activity). You give us a signed written statement to that effect. (c) You live in Australia, have no ABN, and are carrying on an enterprise. Please get an ABN before payout. Until you give us an ABN, the law requires us to withhold tax from your commission. (d) You live outside Australia. You give us your country of tax residence and a statement that you do not carry on an enterprise in Australia. If you do, tell us and we will treat you under (a) or (c). 9.2 Withholding. Where the law requires us to withhold tax from a payment to you, we withhold the required amount, pay it to the Australian Taxation Office, and give you a payment summary. The amount we withhold counts as paid to you. We will not pay in full on a promise that you will give an ABN later. If you give us an ABN before we pay, we do not withhold for that reason. 9.3 GST. If you are registered for GST, the commission is stated exclusive of GST and you issue us a tax invoice (or we issue a recipient-created tax invoice where the law allows and we agree it with you). If you are not registered, no GST is added. 9.4 Sanctions and legal limits. We screen payees against sanctions lists. We do not pay where the law prohibits it. If that happens we tell you where we lawfully can and we keep the commission for you until the law allows payment. 9.5 Time. An earned commission does not lapse because you have not finished the declaration. We keep it for you and remind you by email. If we cannot reach you for 24 months we deal with the amount as the law on unclaimed money requires. 9.6 You are solely responsible for reporting and paying tax on what you receive, beyond what we withhold. 9.7 We may ask you for facts about how you take part so that we can meet our own obligations as a payer, and you will answer truthfully.
10. Privacy
10.1 We collect your name, contact email, payout and tax details, the agent's handles and the post record in clause 4. We use them to run the programme, pay you, meet our legal obligations and respond to complaints. Details are in our Privacy Policy, which names this programme. Your payout and tax details go to our payment platform, which may be overseas; the Privacy Policy names it. Do not send us a tax file number or ID document by email or in the apply form; give it only through the payment platform's own form. If you live in the EU or UK, the Privacy Policy sets out your rights and how to complain. 10.2 Tracked links count visits by code only. They set no cookie and keep no raw IP address beyond what fraud review needs. 10.3 Screenshots of posts are cropped to our own post; other people's names and comments are not kept.
11. Liability and law
11.1 We are not responsible for what a platform does with your agent's account, including suspension. You are responsible for your agent's posts. This does not limit our responsibility for our own conduct, labels and ads. You must tell us if you think a post may be unlawful. 11.2 Nothing in these terms excludes rights you have under the Australian Consumer Law or other law that cannot be excluded. 11.3 These terms are governed by the law of Victoria, Australia, and the courts of Victoria. If you live outside Australia, this does not take away any right you have under local law to bring a claim in the courts where you live.
12. Your confirmation
By accepting these terms in the apply flow, you confirm: you are an individual aged 18 or over; you have read and understood clauses 6, 8 and 9 (holds, commission, clawback, tax); you decide for yourself whether and when to post and are responsible for your own tax; you have read the programme rules and will follow them, including the label rules; the label is true for each post and you will tell us if it stops being true; the reposting rules apply; one account per platform; you will take down any post within 24 hours of our request or tell us why you cannot; you will not use our names or marks outside the programme; we may redirect links, revoke tokens, hold payment and claw back as set out above; no self-referral; the law where you live lets you take part; you have read the privacy notice for the registry data; and we have emailed you a copy of these terms.
