Terms of Service

1. About these terms

These terms are the agreement between you and ⁨BDSM Family⁩ (⁨bdsmfamily.com⁩). By creating an account or using the site you accept them, together with the Privacy Policy, the Cookie Policy and the Community Guidelines, which are part of these terms.

If you do not agree, do not create an account and do not use the site.

2. What ⁨BDSM Family⁩ is

⁨BDSM Family⁩ is an online community for adults who share an interest in the BDSM lifestyle. Members talk, learn, share experience and art, find munches and workshops, and make friends.

⁨BDSM Family⁩ is not a dating or hook-up service for sex, not an adult-entertainment site and not a marketplace for sexual services. Nudity and sexual content are not allowed anywhere on the site.

3. Who can join

• You must be at least 18 years old, or the age of majority where you live if that is higher.
• You must be allowed to use the site under the law that applies to you.
• One account per person. A couple may share one profile; each partner has their own login.
• You must not have been banned from ⁨BDSM Family⁩ before.

Membership is by approval. Every new member completes an age check (a short live video or photo check), and a moderator on our team reviews it privately. Until a moderator approves it, the member cannot enter the community: they can only sign in, complete the check, change their settings, download their data or delete their account.

4. Your account

Keep your password to yourself and tell us through the contact form if you think someone else has used your account. You are responsible for what happens under your account.

The information you give us must be true. Do not pretend to be someone else.

5. The rules

The Community Guidelines describe in detail what is allowed. In short, you must not post, send or link to:

• nudity, sexual acts or sexually explicit content, including in private messages and private albums;
• anything involving or sexualising a minor, or anyone who looks like a minor;
• content made or shared without the consent of everyone in it, and private information about other people (doxxing);
• offers to sell or buy sex or sexual services, escorting, "sugar" arrangements, financial domination, or paid sexual content of any kind;
• harassment, threats, hate or violence against anyone, including for their race, ethnicity, religion, gender, sexual orientation or disability;
• encouragement of dangerous activities, self-harm, or practices that can cause permanent injury;
• illegal content or activity, spam, scams or malware.

Everything discussed on the site is between consenting adults and follows the principles of "safe, sane and consensual" (SSC) and "risk-aware consensual kink" (RACK). Nothing on ⁨BDSM Family⁩ is a substitute for medical, legal or psychological advice.

6. Your content

You keep the rights to what you post. You give ⁨BDSM Family⁩ a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to store, show and adapt it (for example to resize or translate it) only so that the site can work, for as long as it is on the site.

Only post what you have the right to share and what everyone shown in it agreed to. Every photo you upload carries a visible mark with your profile link and a hidden mark that helps us trace copies.

When you delete content, it disappears from the site. Copies may remain in backups for a short time.

7. Meeting people

Members organise munches and meet each other offline. ⁨BDSM Family⁩ does not check members' backgrounds and is not responsible for what happens when members meet. Meet in public first, tell a friend where you are, and read the safety advice in the Community Guidelines.

8. Moderation

Anyone can report a post, comment, photo, profile, listing or message. Our moderators review reports and may remove content, limit features, suspend or close accounts, and, where the law requires it, inform the authorities.

Serious violations — anything involving minors, non-consensual content, or selling sex — lead to immediate removal and a permanent ban.

If you think we made a mistake, write to us through the contact form and we will look at it again.

9. Paid features

Using ⁨BDSM Family⁩ is free. If paid features are offered, their price and terms are shown before you pay, and you can cancel them at any time. Paid features never unlock content that these terms forbid.

10. Ending your account

You can delete your account at any time in Settings. The deletion is final after a 7-day grace period, during which signing in again cancels it. Before deleting, you can download a copy of your data. Details are on the Account deletion page.

We may close an account that breaks these terms.

11. Liability

We work to keep ⁨BDSM Family⁩ safe and available, but the site is provided as it is, without guarantees that it will always work or be free of errors. To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect damage or for what members do. Nothing in these terms limits rights you have under consumer-protection law.

12. Changes

If we change these terms in a way that matters, we will show the new version when you next sign in and ask you to accept it. The date of the current version is shown at the top of this page.

13. Contact

Questions about these terms: write to us through the contact form (topic: Legal).
