+ | |||
+ | Whether natural or legal individuals, Models or Studios, all are acting under this agreement as professional services providers in the frame of their business/professional activities when rendering their services (not consumers). | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==A. Model== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Section A is only applicable to Models | ||
+ | |||
+ | By means of the present Services Agreement, I expressly mark my interest to render Services as a Model on the Websites promoted by the Website Operator and its affiliates, which currently manages a business to consumer (B2C) - interactive live streaming video chat site and broadcasting, according to the terms of this Service Agreement. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The Model undertakes not to provide any illegal, harmful, obscene, hateful, racial, ethnical or any other objectionable content (such as defamatory, abusive, threatening, racially offensive, etc.) while rendering the Services under this Services Agreement. | ||
+ | |||
+ | In order to improve the efficiency of the above-mentioned Services, I am authorized to use the help desk provided by the Website Operator and/or its service providers, whenever deemed convenient. | ||
+ | |||
+ | I hereby certify that the Website Operator does not possess any power of direction, subordination, or other kind of authority over me. Consequently the present Services Agreement does not determine my place or schedule for rendering the Services. The Website Operator does not tell me what my lawful content or my Services shall be, since I am fully aware, as a Model, that I must provide reliable and efficient services in full compliance with the applicable legislation and object of the present Services Agreement. | ||
+ | |||
+ | I hereby certify that I have read and understood the terms and conditions of the Websites that are applicable for members of the Websites and I am aware of the requirements regarding quality and the obligations that are previewed in such terms and conditions. In case of any questions to this regard I can contact the Website Operator according to the contact details provided in this Service Agreement. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Models may render Services in one of the areas/categories available on the Websites, which are subject to change without prior warning from the Website Operator, with respect to standard requirements related to the Websites environment and experience intended by the Website Operator. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The Services shall be rendered by me with total autonomy and technical independency. Therefore, I am completely responsible and liable for my own actions, videos, audio, chat, dialogue, instructional videos, and advice, as a consenting responsible adult, and all decisions related to the content of my actions as Model are made at my own discretion. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Notwithstanding the above, I am acting under this Services Agreement as a professional when rendering the Services, nevertheless it is not intended that the Services rendered by me are to be viewed as being certified by public authorities or by any necessary diplomas, it being my responsibility to keep the end users duly aware of that fact. I understand that I am not in any way an employee of the Website Operator and/or of any other entity related to the Website Operator. | ||
+ | |||
+ | I hereby declare that under this Services Agreement I will render high quality Services, I will not provide any wrongful or misleading information to the member of the Websites knowingly and that at any moment I will be acting honestly and professionally. | ||
+ | |||
+ | == B. Studio == | ||
+ | |||
+ | Section B is only applicable for Studios | ||
+ | |||
+ | The Studio enters into this Services Agreement in view of providing Services to the Website Operator. For this purpose, the Studio may contract with Models. In any case, the Studio is solely responsible toward the WEBSITE OPERATOR for Services rendered by their Models. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The Studio understands and agrees that the services to be rendered by Models (hereafter referred to as the " Model Services") under the terms and conditions of the contract concluded between the Studio and the Models (hereafter referred to as the " Model Contract") are of adult entertainment nature, namely, to perform live webcam shows and chat through the Studio equipment for the entertainment of Visitors/Users all over the world, who have selected such Models according to live streams, images, offline (teaser) and paying videos or receiving the broadcast. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The Studio understands and agrees that it is its responsibility to determine the terms and conditions of the Model Contract, which the Studio shall autonomously and independently determine without any influence of the Website Operator, provided that such a Model Contract does not result in the violation of the Studio’s obligations under the present Services Agreement and while procuring that the Models must follow the rules, where applicable, of this Services Agreement. Accordingly, the Models shall not be in a contractual or any other relationship of any nature with the Website Operator. The Studio agrees that it shall remain solely and completely responsible and liable for all the content, actions, shows, videos, chat, dialogue, and any other Models Services rendered under the Model Contract. | ||
+ | |||
+ | In order to improve the efficiency of the Models Services, I, as a Studio, am authorized to use the help desk provided by the Website Operator, whenever deemed convenient. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Website operator may grant certain advantages at its sole discretion to the Studio in order to keep the loyalty of the latter. Should any of such advantages affect the Models of that Studio, with special regard to the further registration of those Models on the Websites, then it is the sole responsibility of the Studio to reflect it in the Studio Models Contract. | ||
+ | |||
+ | I, as a Studio, hereby certify that the Website Operator does not possess any power of direction, subordination, or other kind of authority over me. Consequently the present Services Agreement does not determine the place or schedule for the Models to render the Models Services, which are determined in the Model Contract. The Website Operator does not tell me what my lawful content or the Models Services shall be, since I am fully aware, as a Studio, that I am responsible for the Models to render reliable and efficient services in full compliance with the applicable legislation and object of the Model Contract. | ||
+ | |||
+ | I, as a Studio, hereby certify that I have read and understood the terms and conditions of the Websites that are applicable for members of the Websites and I am aware of the level of quality and obligations that are previewed in such terms and conditions. In case of any questions to this regard I can contact the Website Operator according to the contact details provided in this Service Agreement. In this respect, I hereby certify that I am liable for the Models, in compliance with their obligations under the Model Contract, to render the Models Services according to the level of quality and obligations that are previewed in the terms and conditions of the Websites that are applicable for members of the Websites. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The Studio is acting under this Services Agreement as a professional in the frame of the exercise of my business activities (as opposed to consumers) when rendering the Services and thus will be solely responsible for paying all applicable taxes. As a general rule, the Studio is required to provide invoices for all services rendered to the Website Operator. Such invoices shall comply with all applicable domestic law and EU law, as the case may be. In case the Studio cannot provide an invoice to the Website Operator, the latter may generate a self-invoice. By acceptance of this Services Agreement, the Studio agrees to the Website Operator operating a self-invoicing system, if needed, and accepts each self-invoice to be issued by the Website Operator in respect of services provided by the Studio. It is not intended that the Studio is to be viewed as being certified by public authorities or by any necessary diplomas, it being the Studio’s responsibility to keep the end users duly aware of that fact. As a Studio, I understand that I am not and that the Models are not in any way employees of the Website Operator and/or of any other entity related to the Website Operator. | ||
+ | |||
+ | I hereby commit, as a Studio, that under the Model Contract, the Models will render the Models Services with high quality, will not provide any wrongful or misleading information to the member of the Websites knowingly and that at any moment the Models will be acting honestly and professionally. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The Studio further engages to guarantee that the Models respect the requirements applicable for the Studios as well as the requirements for Models as provided in clause 1 A above. | ||
+ | |||
+ | =Duration= | ||
+ | |||
+ | This Services Agreement shall be effective as from the date when the Model/the Studio registers on the Websites and accepts this Services Agreement by clicking on the button "I agree, understand and I accept this Services Agreement and expressly declare the acceptance of clauses regarding Declarations and Personal data", and shall remain in force until duly terminated by either party in full compliance with the terms and conditions expressly set forth in this Services Agreement. | ||
+ | |||
+ | =Fees= | ||
+ | |||
+ | I acknowledge that the amount to be paid for the Services rendered, within the scope of the present Services Agreement, will be published on the Websites. I, as a Model/Studio, agree with the Website Operator that the amount to be paid for the Services rendered on the Websites shall vary in accordance to the charge option chosen (i.e., per minute fees that I discretionarily choose, and which are paid by visitors to the Website Operator for the Services offered by me through the Websites). | ||
+ | |||
+ | I understand and accept that the amounts to be paid by the Website Operator to me will correspond to a certain percentage (varying according to the type of Services) of the chosen charge option (i.e. certain percentage of the price paid by the Visitors/Members of the Websites to the Website Operator) as described above which percentage and charge options will be published on my registration account and/or my sales page (which I can consult before any rendering of Services). I understand and accept that no royalty shall be due to me for any original content uploaded by me to the Websites or for any content of me which is broadcasted. I fully understand and acknowledge that the Visitors/Members of the Websites are the customers of the Website Operator. | ||
+ | |||
+ | I am fully aware that prices shall be due as rounded American dollar amounts without additional cents. Consequently, I agree that fractional payment amounts will not be credited to me. The price referred to in the present clause shall be paid by means of, bank wire transfer, ePayments, or other payment methods available and chosen at the Website Operator's own discretion. | ||
+ | |||
+ | I also acknowledge that the price to be paid for rendering the Services may be proportionately and adequately reduced in case of my/Studio Performers’ unlawful conduct, namely, in violation of the present Services Agreement and/or applicable legislation, and/or in case of separate arrangement pursuant to the terms of the Services Agreement hereof that would be conducive to such a decrease where applicable. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The prices per minute payable by Visitors/Members and which also constitute the base for counting amounts earned by me as described above are subject to change at the Website Operator’s own discretion and upon prior notification to me. In case of a substantial change in the amount of available price to charge, I shall have the possibility to terminate the present Services Agreement upon reception of such change; otherwise if I continue providing services through the Websites, it shall be considered as tacit acceptance to such changes. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Credit card fraud is a crime, and the Website Operator will do everything in its power to help local and international agents to trace people committing such felonies. The Website Operator will NOT pay any fees in case of fraudulent purchases. The purchases MUST originate from the owner of the credit card or have permission from the owner for using their credit card. The Website Operator team does everything in its power to minimize the percentage of fraudulent purchases. If you know of ANYONE committing such activities please notify us, so that you can help us protect our Websites. | ||
+ | |||

I am completely responsible for my own actions as a consenting adult and as the case may be, for any actions of the Models. I also certify that I am, and as the case may be, that the Models under my Studio Account are, also aware of my/their criminal liability and therefore, I/they will act, under all circumstances, in accordance to my/their local community standard of morality and applicable laws. Moreover, I certify that I am not under the influence of drugs or alcohol, and that I am, and as the case may be, the Models are, rendering the Services/ Models Services in the video/film and appearance(s) of my/their own free will. | ||

+ | |||
+ | I also certify that I will not force anyone to render Services on Websites promoted by the Website Operator and that all Models under my Studio Account, as the case may be, are providing Models Services through the Websites by their own free will. I will not solicit or take part in anything related to escort services or prostitution. By marking the checkbox "I have read, understood, and accept the present Services Agreement and expressly declare the acceptance of clauses regarding Declarations and Personal data" I declare that all Model Accounts eventually created or which will eventually be created in the future under my Studio Account will be provided with true and accurate legal documents. | ||

Any breach of this obligation will immediately result in termination of this Services Agreement. I am aware that the Website Operator may contact any competent authorities, including the state prosecutor in order to initiate any criminal or administrative proceedings. | ||
+ | |||

Purpose
Whether natural or legal individuals, Models or Studios, all are acting under this agreement as professional services providers in the frame of their business/professional activities when rendering their services (not consumers).
A. Model
Section A is only applicable to Models
By means of the present Services Agreement, I expressly mark my interest to render Services as a Model on the Websites promoted by the Website Operator and its affiliates, which currently manages a business to consumer (B2C) - interactive live streaming video chat site and broadcasting, according to the terms of this Service Agreement.
The Model undertakes not to provide any illegal, harmful, obscene, hateful, racial, ethnical or any other objectionable content (such as defamatory, abusive, threatening, racially offensive, etc.) while rendering the Services under this Services Agreement.
In order to improve the efficiency of the above-mentioned Services, I am authorized to use the help desk provided by the Website Operator and/or its service providers, whenever deemed convenient.
I hereby certify that the Website Operator does not possess any power of direction, subordination, or other kind of authority over me. Consequently the present Services Agreement does not determine my place or schedule for rendering the Services. The Website Operator does not tell me what my lawful content or my Services shall be, since I am fully aware, as a Model, that I must provide reliable and efficient services in full compliance with the applicable legislation and object of the present Services Agreement.
I hereby certify that I have read and understood the terms and conditions of the Websites that are applicable for members of the Websites and I am aware of the requirements regarding quality and the obligations that are previewed in such terms and conditions. In case of any questions to this regard I can contact the Website Operator according to the contact details provided in this Service Agreement.
Models may render Services in one of the areas/categories available on the Websites, which are subject to change without prior warning from the Website Operator, with respect to standard requirements related to the Websites environment and experience intended by the Website Operator.
The Services shall be rendered by me with total autonomy and technical independency. Therefore, I am completely responsible and liable for my own actions, videos, audio, chat, dialogue, instructional videos, and advice, as a consenting responsible adult, and all decisions related to the content of my actions as Model are made at my own discretion.
Notwithstanding the above, I am acting under this Services Agreement as a professional when rendering the Services, nevertheless it is not intended that the Services rendered by me are to be viewed as being certified by public authorities or by any necessary diplomas, it being my responsibility to keep the end users duly aware of that fact. I understand that I am not in any way an employee of the Website Operator and/or of any other entity related to the Website Operator.
I hereby declare that under this Services Agreement I will render high quality Services, I will not provide any wrongful or misleading information to the member of the Websites knowingly and that at any moment I will be acting honestly and professionally.
B. Studio
Section B is only applicable for Studios
The Studio enters into this Services Agreement in view of providing Services to the Website Operator. For this purpose, the Studio may contract with Models. In any case, the Studio is solely responsible toward the WEBSITE OPERATOR for Services rendered by their Models.
The Studio understands and agrees that the services to be rendered by Models (hereafter referred to as the " Model Services") under the terms and conditions of the contract concluded between the Studio and the Models (hereafter referred to as the " Model Contract") are of adult entertainment nature, namely, to perform live webcam shows and chat through the Studio equipment for the entertainment of Visitors/Users all over the world, who have selected such Models according to live streams, images, offline (teaser) and paying videos or receiving the broadcast.
The Studio understands and agrees that it is its responsibility to determine the terms and conditions of the Model Contract, which the Studio shall autonomously and independently determine without any influence of the Website Operator, provided that such a Model Contract does not result in the violation of the Studio’s obligations under the present Services Agreement and while procuring that the Models must follow the rules, where applicable, of this Services Agreement. Accordingly, the Models shall not be in a contractual or any other relationship of any nature with the Website Operator. The Studio agrees that it shall remain solely and completely responsible and liable for all the content, actions, shows, videos, chat, dialogue, and any other Models Services rendered under the Model Contract.
In order to improve the efficiency of the Models Services, I, as a Studio, am authorized to use the help desk provided by the Website Operator, whenever deemed convenient.
Website operator may grant certain advantages at its sole discretion to the Studio in order to keep the loyalty of the latter. Should any of such advantages affect the Models of that Studio, with special regard to the further registration of those Models on the Websites, then it is the sole responsibility of the Studio to reflect it in the Studio Models Contract.
I, as a Studio, hereby certify that the Website Operator does not possess any power of direction, subordination, or other kind of authority over me. Consequently the present Services Agreement does not determine the place or schedule for the Models to render the Models Services, which are determined in the Model Contract. The Website Operator does not tell me what my lawful content or the Models Services shall be, since I am fully aware, as a Studio, that I am responsible for the Models to render reliable and efficient services in full compliance with the applicable legislation and object of the Model Contract.
I, as a Studio, hereby certify that I have read and understood the terms and conditions of the Websites that are applicable for members of the Websites and I am aware of the level of quality and obligations that are previewed in such terms and conditions. In case of any questions to this regard I can contact the Website Operator according to the contact details provided in this Service Agreement. In this respect, I hereby certify that I am liable for the Models, in compliance with their obligations under the Model Contract, to render the Models Services according to the level of quality and obligations that are previewed in the terms and conditions of the Websites that are applicable for members of the Websites.
The Studio is acting under this Services Agreement as a professional in the frame of the exercise of my business activities (as opposed to consumers) when rendering the Services and thus will be solely responsible for paying all applicable taxes. As a general rule, the Studio is required to provide invoices for all services rendered to the Website Operator. Such invoices shall comply with all applicable domestic law and EU law, as the case may be. In case the Studio cannot provide an invoice to the Website Operator, the latter may generate a self-invoice. By acceptance of this Services Agreement, the Studio agrees to the Website Operator operating a self-invoicing system, if needed, and accepts each self-invoice to be issued by the Website Operator in respect of services provided by the Studio. It is not intended that the Studio is to be viewed as being certified by public authorities or by any necessary diplomas, it being the Studio’s responsibility to keep the end users duly aware of that fact. As a Studio, I understand that I am not and that the Models are not in any way employees of the Website Operator and/or of any other entity related to the Website Operator.
I hereby commit, as a Studio, that under the Model Contract, the Models will render the Models Services with high quality, will not provide any wrongful or misleading information to the member of the Websites knowingly and that at any moment the Models will be acting honestly and professionally.
The Studio further engages to guarantee that the Models respect the requirements applicable for the Studios as well as the requirements for Models as provided in clause 1 A above.
Duration
This Services Agreement shall be effective as from the date when the Model/the Studio registers on the Websites and accepts this Services Agreement by clicking on the button "I agree, understand and I accept this Services Agreement and expressly declare the acceptance of clauses regarding Declarations and Personal data", and shall remain in force until duly terminated by either party in full compliance with the terms and conditions expressly set forth in this Services Agreement.
Fees
I acknowledge that the amount to be paid for the Services rendered, within the scope of the present Services Agreement, will be published on the Websites. I, as a Model/Studio, agree with the Website Operator that the amount to be paid for the Services rendered on the Websites shall vary in accordance to the charge option chosen (i.e., per minute fees that I discretionarily choose, and which are paid by visitors to the Website Operator for the Services offered by me through the Websites).
I understand and accept that the amounts to be paid by the Website Operator to me will correspond to a certain percentage (varying according to the type of Services) of the chosen charge option (i.e. certain percentage of the price paid by the Visitors/Members of the Websites to the Website Operator) as described above which percentage and charge options will be published on my registration account and/or my sales page (which I can consult before any rendering of Services). I understand and accept that no royalty shall be due to me for any original content uploaded by me to the Websites or for any content of me which is broadcasted. I fully understand and acknowledge that the Visitors/Members of the Websites are the customers of the Website Operator.
I am fully aware that prices shall be due as rounded American dollar amounts without additional cents. Consequently, I agree that fractional payment amounts will not be credited to me. The price referred to in the present clause shall be paid by means of, bank wire transfer, ePayments, or other payment methods available and chosen at the Website Operator's own discretion.
I also acknowledge that the price to be paid for rendering the Services may be proportionately and adequately reduced in case of my/Studio Performers’ unlawful conduct, namely, in violation of the present Services Agreement and/or applicable legislation, and/or in case of separate arrangement pursuant to the terms of the Services Agreement hereof that would be conducive to such a decrease where applicable.
The prices per minute payable by Visitors/Members and which also constitute the base for counting amounts earned by me as described above are subject to change at the Website Operator’s own discretion and upon prior notification to me. In case of a substantial change in the amount of available price to charge, I shall have the possibility to terminate the present Services Agreement upon reception of such change; otherwise if I continue providing services through the Websites, it shall be considered as tacit acceptance to such changes.
Credit card fraud is a crime, and the Website Operator will do everything in its power to help local and international agents to trace people committing such felonies. The Website Operator will NOT pay any fees in case of fraudulent purchases. The purchases MUST originate from the owner of the credit card or have permission from the owner for using their credit card. The Website Operator team does everything in its power to minimize the percentage of fraudulent purchases. If you know of ANYONE committing such activities please notify us, so that you can help us protect our Websites.
