The Summary

Hello. You should read these terms and conditions in full because they apply every time you visit AdultPeople and use any of its features. However, just in case you ever need a reminder of the main points, here’s a quick summary:

• 1. If you are under the age of 18 then unfortunately you can’t use AdultPeople yet because it’s a meeting place for adults only.
• 2. We’re not responsible for anything that you post, live stream or say while you are on AdultPeople and we don’t monitor the content of the site, but if we do see or someone alerts us that you have posted something that we think is inappropriate then we are allowed at our discretion to remove it.
• 4. If you post any content that actually belongs to someone else and they get annoyed (or even call in their lawyers), we are not in the firing line. You have to take responsibility for what you post.
• 5. Please refer to our Community Guidelines and Safety Tips for additional Dos and Don’ts, and information on staying safe.
• 6. If you are concerned about how your data is being used by AdultPeople then please refer to our Privacy Policy, which explains how we treat your personal data and protect your privacy when you use AdultPeople. By using AdultPeople, you agree that we can use such data in accordance with our Privacy Policy. Our website and apps also use cookies or similar technologies which we tell you more about. You may set your browser and your mobile settings to block cookies and local storage devices, but if you do so, you may not be able to access the features that AdultPeople offers.

• 12. contains images of children, even if you are also in the photo, or endangers minors.

Please use your common sense when picking the Content that you choose to post on, upload or send via AdultPeople because you are solely responsible for, and bear all liability in relation to, such Content. If you repeatedly infringe our rules, you may be prevented from using AdultPeople and we may disable your account or block you from further use of AdultPeople. We may remove any Content you submit to AdultPeople if we believe it violates the Terms or we are required to do so by applicable law.

Are there any rules relating to personal data like my email address?
You may not display any personal contact or banking information on your individual profile page ('Profile') whether in relation to you or any other person (for example, names, home addresses or postcodes, telephone numbers, email addresses, URLs, credit/debit card or other banking details, or place of work). If you do choose to reveal any personal data about yourself to other users, whether via email or otherwise, it is at your own risk. We encourage you to use the same caution in disclosing details about yourself to third parties online as you would under any other circumstances. You are required to follow our Guidelines and Safety Tips when doing so.

What about other people's personal data, can I use it?
You may only use other AdultPeople users' personal data to the extent that your use of it matches AdultPeople's purpose of allowing people to meet one another. When using AdultPeople Live, you may not film other people, whether or not they are AdultPeople users, unless you have informed them that the footage will be livestreamed via AdultPeople Live and given them an opportunity to exclude themselves from the footage. You may not use other users' information for commercial purposes, to spam, to harass, or to make unlawful threats. AdultPeople reserves the right to terminate your account, or prevent access to its features if you misuse other users' information.

Some of my friends want to see all the people I'm chatting with. Can I tell them my password and let them log on as me?
The short answer is no. Only you are authorised to access your account with AdultPeople. You must not share your password with anyone or let anyone else access your account as this jeopardises the security of all of the Content and personal data that you have submitted to AdultPeople. You are responsible for keeping your password secret and secure. If you don't, AdultPeople is not liable for any unauthorised access to your account. If you suspect that someone has gained access to your account, you must let us know immediately by visiting Feedback page and telling us of your suspicions or concerns. You must also immediately change your password. AdultPeople reserves the right to terminate your account if you violate our rules on keeping your password secure.

Who can see the Content that I put on AdultPeople?
When you upload Content to AdultPeople it can be accessed and viewed by the general public. If you do not want such Content to be viewed by others, then you can opt to use the private folders and select the person to whom you wish to give access. If you still do not want such Content to be viewed by others, then you should not upload it to AdultPeople. We reserve the right (without obligation) at our sole discretion and without giving you notice, to remove or edit, limit or block access to any Content that you upload or submit to AdultPeople without incurring liability to you. We have no obligation to display any Content that you submit to AdultPeople, nor to check the accuracy or truthfulness of any Content submitted to AdultPeople, nor to monitor your use or the use of other users of AdultPeople.

Anything else I need to know?
When you use AdultPeople you agree to the Terms, and in return we grant you a limited, personal, non-exclusive and non-transferable licence to use and to upload Content and to use AdultPeople solely for your personal use. Apart from this licence, you have no other rights in the use of the site, app, or its Content or features, and you may not modify, edit, copy, reproduce, create derivative works of, reverse engineer, alter, enhance or in any way exploit any of the site or Content in any manner. If you breach any of the Terms, the above licence will terminate automatically and you must immediately destroy any downloaded or printed Content.

2. Ownership of Content

Once I have uploaded Content on AdultPeople, do I still own it?

Yes (provided you are the rightful owner in the first place - please see our other rules regarding posting Content that doesn't belong to you).
Please note though that by posting, uploading or sending Content on AdultPeople you represent and warrant to us that:

• 1. you are either the exclusive author or owner of that Content and in all cases you agree that you waive any and all moral rights relating to that Content (including, without limitation, any rights to be identified as the author);
• 2. you have been granted a licence that allows you to use, post or upload the Content;
• 3. you have obtained appropriate consent or authority to use, post or upload such Content.

Please note that by posting, uploading or sending Content on AdultPeople you represent and warrant to us that you have the right to do so, and automatically grant to us a non-exclusive, royalty free, perpetual, worldwide licence to use such Content in any way (including, without limitation, editing, copying, modifying, adapting, translating, reformatting, creating derivative works from, incorporating into other works, advertising, distributing and otherwise making available to the general public such Content, whether in whole or in part and in any format or medium currently known or developed in the future).
We may assign and/or sub-license the above licence to our affiliates and successors without any further approval by you.
We have the right to disclose your identity to any third party who is claiming that any Content posted or uploaded by you to our app or site constitutes a violation of their intellectual property rights or of their right to privacy or any other law.

Who does the rest of the Content on AdultPeople belong to then?
Us! All text, graphics, user interfaces, trademarks, logos, sounds and artwork on AdultPeople are owned, controlled or licensed by us and are protected by copyright, trademark and other intellectual property law rights.

Can I use any of the Content that doesn't belong to me?
Other than in relation to Content submitted by you to AdultPeople, you do not have any rights in relation to the Content on AdultPeople and you agree that you will not use any Content in any manner which may infringe ours or any third party's rights. This means that you agree that you will not copy, modify, adapt, distribute, publish or sell all or any part of the AdultPeople site or the Content contained on it (other than the Content submitted by you) to anyone else.

3. Paid for services

What can I buy on AdultPeople?

AdultPeople offers you the opportunity to pay for certain services offered on the site.
AdultPeople's premium services include various opportunities to find and meet additional people, to customise your profile and to boost your profile so more people find you. AdultPeople also offers the ability to access various options on the site. All of these premium services can be purchased after you register, and you may subscribe to the premium services for various lengths of time.

Once you have paid for any premium services, you have the right to cancel and be reimbursed for all payments received within 14 days. If you wish to cancel please let us know via our Contact Page. Please note that if you choose to download any of the Content which forms part of any paid for service within the 14 day period, you may lose this right. After the 14 days have expired, the paid for services are non-refundable.
You can change your Auto Top-up at anytime in your payment settings on your profile page. The pricing may vary due to a number of factors, such as (but not limited to) promotional offers, loyalty bonuses and other discounts.

How do I renew my premium services with AdultPeople?
Once you have requested a AdultPeople premium service, you authorise AdultPeople to charge your chosen payment method. If you want to cancel or change your payment method at any time, you can do either via the payment settings option under your profile or by contacting your mobile service provider. If your chosen payment method is via your mobile service provider, then please check with them about their payment terms, as their payment terms will govern how payments to AdultPeople are made as well as how such payments may be changed or cancelled. Your subscription to AdultPeople's premium services will automatically renew until you decide to cancel, and if you have enabled the Auto Top-up feature, your account will automatically be topped up until you decide to disable this feature.

4. Access to the app and site

Do you guarantee that AdultPeople will be up and running at all times?

Unfortunately we can't guarantee that because sometimes we have to carry out maintenance to the app or site or they may be affected by a fault or circumstances which are outside our control, so AdultPeople is provided on an "as is" "as available" basis. No warranty is given about the quality, accuracy, functionality, availability or performance of AdultPeople and we reserve the right to suspend, withdraw, amend, modify or vary the service provided on AdultPeople without notice and without incurring any liability to you.

What about mobile access?
You are responsible for making all the necessary arrangements to ensure you can access AdultPeople (including, but not limited to Internet provider and mobile internet provider fees and, any other charges associated with such access). We shall not be held responsible for any reduced functionality you may encounter as result of or in connection with accessing AdultPeople through mobile services or any similar service currently known or developed in the future. By accessing AdultPeople or agreeing to receive messages or notifications from AdultPeople through your mobile phone and/or any other connected media device, you accept that you may incur charges from your internet or mobile service provider. We shall not under any circumstances be liable for such charges.

I'm not registered and I can't seem to access some Content or features on the app or site. Why is that?
Non-registered users are able to access only that portion of AdultPeople that is publicly available. They will not have a Profile but may have limited ability to upload any Content. The extent of registered users' access to AdultPeople will depend on certain criteria relating to their Profile being met. We may change or update the criteria from time to time without prior notice and at our discretion.

5. AdultPeople Live

How does AdultPeople Live work?

AdultPeople Live enables you to create, transmit and view live stream audiovisual content. If you use AdultPeople Live please remind yourself of our rules on which content you may upload and ensure that you comply with those rules when carrying out any live streaming.
Viewers can use paid features such as gifts and special comments to show appreciation of quality of the live stream they are watching. For each paid feature sent by the viewer, the broadcaster get rewarded with tokens determined by AdultPeople acting in its reasonable discretion.

How do Broadcasters Redeem Tokens?
Tokens can be used to acquire credits to access AdultPeople's premium services or to cash-out for actual currency should you meet certain conditions as detailed here in and in the cash-out rules accessible via your account.
Tokens are redeemable 90 days after being earned. The minimum amount required for cash-out and maximum amount of permissible cash out are detailed in the cash-out rules.
The currency of cash-out will be determined by AdultPeople applying its then current exchange rate which it may change in its sole discretion. Cash-outs may be subject to deductions for refunds and or chargebacks.
AdultPeople's exchange rate may also change due to the fluctuating value of tokens, which may change between the time they were awarded and the time you decide to cash-out.
AdultPeople may amend the value of any cash out or withhold any cash-out at its sole discretion.
You must have an active PayPal account or bank account to cash-out. We will not make payment to sanctioned countries.
Your account will be linked to your user account when you cash-out and the payment will be processed following any cash-out request according to the terms of Paypal or your bank. The time until pay-out varies and depends on a number of factors including the terms of Paypal or your bank. Note that Paypal may place any funds in temporary hold where there is insufficient payment history. In such cases, please contact Paypal.
AdultPeople does not charge a withdrawal fee to cash-out, however transaction fees of Paypal or your bank or FX rates may apply.
Note you are solely responsible for checking the terms of service of Paypal or your bank for policy details and applicability of transaction fees.
Tokens expire 12 months after becoming redeemable.

Taxes
The broadcaster shall be solely responsible for all taxes payable in respect of the cash-out and shall indemnify AdultPeople and its group companies against any tax liability which arises out of or in connection with the cash-out and AdultPeople may satisfy such amounts by way of deduction from the amount due.
Tax regulations may require AdultPeople to collect appropriate tax information from broadcasters or to withhold taxes from payouts in which case we reserve the right to freeze payouts or withhold such amounts as required by law.

Fraud and Termination
All cash-out transactions will be reviewed by AdultPeople. AdultPeople takes fraud extremely seriously.
If AdultPeople terminates your account for cause (including fraud), any outstanding tokens remaining in your account at the time of termination may be irrevocably confiscated, as determined by AdultPeople in its sole and absolute discretion, in accordance with our termination policy specified below.

What about other people's rights when I upload live streaming content?
The rights of others in your live stream content are important and we respect them (and expect that you do too).
We have undertaken a legitimate interests assessment. The outcome of this assessment is that, whilst it should not be necessary to obtain a clear consent from any third parties in your livestream content, we require you to notify all third parties prior to shooting the footage, and provide them with an adequate opportunity to be excluded themselves from the footage. When uploading livestream content to AdultPeople, you are warranting that you have done so.

6. Termination of use by us

My Profile has disappeared and I can't log in. What's going on?

Sometimes people forget about the Terms and post Content or act in a way while on AdultPeople which is not consistent with the purpose of the app or site. If we think that you may be one of those people, then we reserve the right at our sole discretion, at any time and without liability or the need to give you prior notice or to refund any unused services to:

• 1. suspend or revoke your registration (where applicable) and your right to access and/or use AdultPeople or submit any Content to AdultPeople;
• 2. make use of any operational, technological, legal, or other means available to enforce the Terms (including without limitation blocking specific IP addresses).

We will try (but we are not obliged) to notify you if your access to AdultPeople and/or your Profile is to be or has been suspended or terminated. Where you have acted contrary to our Terms, we will keep a record of it and may block future attempts by you to use or access AdultPeople and its features so that we can keep AdultPeople a fun place.

7. Termination of use by you

They say that you can have too much of a good thing... what do I do if I want to "unregister" myself from AdultPeople?

If you have registered on AdultPeople, you can terminate your registration at any time by going to the 'Settings' control on AdultPeople when you are logged in and choosing the 'delete profile' link. We save your profile information in case you later decide to restore your account. Many users deactivate their accounts for temporary reasons and in doing so expect us to maintain their information until they return to AdultPeople. You will therefore be able to restore your account and your profile in its entirety within 30 days of de-activating it. Once your registration is terminated, we have the right to delete any related Content that you have submitted or uploaded on to AdultPeople. For further details, please refer to our Privacy Policy.
Content that you have uploaded to AdultPeople, other than your Profile (such as comments or email messages), may still appear on AdultPeople following termination of your registration.

As you asked so nicely...
