BentBox Terms and Conditions
Version 5.3 - Last Updated: September 21, 2026
BentBox by Haas & Reed B.V. (registration number 68817940) located at Mantelmeeuwhof 15, 3582DN, Utrecht, Netherlands and its affiliates or assigns operates and manages the Website platform accessible at https://bentbox.co/, including all its subdomains, where independent content uploaders can upload, publish, share and sell their original content, photos, videos, services or other tangible goods to users, and where uploaders and users can interact.
Adults Only - Age Requirement
YOU MUST BE AT LEAST 18 YEARS OLD AND THE AGE OF MAJORITY AND LEGAL CONSENT IN THE JURISDICTION IN WHICH YOU LIVE OR RESIDE TO AGREE TO THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS. USE OF THE PLATFORM IS VOID WHERE PROHIBITED BY LAW.
We have placed this detail over and above all of our other terms because it is the most important (although it is also referenced below).
The BentBox.co platform is only open to consenting adults looking to express themselves in the form of photos, videos and messaging. We have zero tolerance for any minors on the BentBox.co platform, whether such individuals are actually minors or pretending to be minors perhaps in a misguided attempt at role-play. Moreover, we have zero tolerance for any image of any minor being uploaded to our platform for any reason.
Law Enforcement Reporting: Please be advised that we reserve the right to and do report each and every suspected minor to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children and any and all other law enforcement agencies we feel appropriate. If you believe that a minor is using the site, we strongly request and encourage you to report each and every user you encounter which you believe or suspect to be under the age of 18. All reports are reviewed as quickly as we can.
If you are a minor, you must immediately leave this site now. You are not legally permitted on BentBox.co for any reason, and if we find you on this site, we will report you to law enforcement as noted above. We will not reactivate you for any reason ever.
With respect to all other matters, as we operate an online platform and we are not in the business of producing or presenting content, we only adopt what we feel are necessary to comply with law, community standards and for the safety of our users.
Important: Please read these terms and conditions carefully as they form the legal contract between BentBox and you. By using the Platform, you confirm your agreement to be bound by all of these Terms & Conditions.
If you do not agree to all of these T&C, including our Privacy Policy, Forbidden Content & Community Standards, Forbidden Words, and other specific rules, you may not use the Platform and should not create an account.
Zero Tolerance: Human Trafficking & Exploitation
BentBox has absolute zero tolerance for human trafficking, sex trafficking, forced labor, coercion, or exploitation of any kind.
All content must be created by individuals acting independently and of their own free will. Any suspected trafficking or exploitation will be immediately reported to law enforcement including the FBI, INTERPOL, and the National Human Trafficking Hotline.
This Platform is for content creation and distribution only - NOT for arranging in-person meetings, escort services, or any commercial sexual activity. Violations will result in immediate account termination, forfeiture of all funds, and criminal referral.
Copyright Respect: BentBox respects the copyright of all uploaders. Uploaders always retain all rights to their content.
Nature of the Service
BentBox provides infrastructure. It hosts files, verifies identities, processes payments, delivers purchased Content and carries communications between Uploaders and the Users who follow them. BentBox does not commission, produce or direct Content, and it does not act as a publisher, studio, agency or employer of any Uploader. BentBox is a curated platform and applies editorial standards to the Content it accepts, as described in Section 3.16.
No algorithmic promotion. Content is presented on public pages of the Platform in reverse chronological order, newest first. BentBox does not operate a recommendation algorithm, does not rank Content by popularity, revenue or engagement, does not personalise what a User is shown, and does not sell or otherwise grant promotional placement. The position in which an item of Content appears is a function of when it was published and of nothing else.
Uploader responsibility. Uploaders decide what they publish, how it is titled and described, and what it costs. Each Uploader is identity-verified through ProntoID before publishing or receiving payment, and is responsible for the Content they upload and for compliance with these T&C and with the Forbidden Content Standards.
No transfer of rights. Uploaders retain all rights in their Content. BentBox acquires no ownership of Content and receives only the limited licence described in Section 7.
Nothing in this section limits BentBox's obligation or right to moderate the Platform, to remove Content that breaches these T&C or the Forbidden Content Standards, to act on reports, or to carry out the age and identity checks described in Section 3.6. The absence of algorithmic promotion is a characteristic of how Content is displayed. It is not a limitation on moderation.

2. Accounts & Registration
2.1. Account Creation
To use certain features of the Platform, you must register for an account. You agree to:
- Provide accurate, current, and complete information during registration
- Maintain and promptly update your account information
- Maintain the security of your password and account
- Notify BentBox immediately of any unauthorized use of your account
- Accept responsibility for all activities that occur under your account
2.2. Age Verification
By creating an account, you represent and warrant that you are at least 18 years old and have the legal capacity to enter into these Terms & Conditions.
2.3. Account Security
You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials. BentBox will not be liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to maintain account security.
3. Uploaders
3.1. Content Upload Rights
By uploading Content to the Platform, you represent and warrant that:
- You own all rights to the Content or have obtained all necessary permissions
- Your Content does not infringe on any third-party intellectual property rights
- All individuals depicted in your Content are at least 18 years old
- You have obtained a Model Release, and all other necessary documentation, for the specific session in which the Content was produced
3.2. Content Pricing
Uploaders have full control over pricing their Content. You may set your own prices for Premium Content and Membership subscriptions. BentBox operates on a commission-added model, meaning you keep 100% of your listed price while BentBox adds a commission on top for buyers.
3.3. Content Standards
All Content must comply with the Forbidden Content Standards, which are incorporated into these T&C and set out in full what may and may not be published on the Platform. In particular, and without limiting those Standards:
- No minors or depictions of minors
- No illegal content or activities
- No non-consensual content
- No content depicting hate speech, incitement to violence, or support for terrorist or violent extremist organisations
- No violation of intellectual property rights
- Compliance with all applicable laws and regulations
Sexually explicit Content between consenting adults is permitted on the Platform, subject to the age and identity verification requirements of Section 3.6, the Model Release requirements of Section 3.5, and the Forbidden Content Standards.
3.4. 2257 Compliance
Uploaders must maintain records as required by 18 U.S.C. § 2257 and 28 C.F.R. Part 75 for all Content featuring individuals. You are responsible for ensuring full compliance with these regulations, including proper age verification and record keeping.
3.5. Model Releases – Session Specific
A Model Release must relate to the specific photographic or video session in which the Content was produced. A Model Release obtained for a different session does not satisfy this requirement, regardless of whether it covers the same individual, was obtained more recently, or is drafted in general terms.
Where the Uploader is the only individual appearing in an item of Content and has been verified in accordance with Section 3.6, the Uploader's verification and publication of that Content constitute the Uploader's consent, and no separate Model Release is required. No Model Release is required for Content that is entirely AI-generated and depicts no real individual, provided it is declared as AI-generated on publication.
A single Model Release may be applied to multiple items of Content produced during the same session. It may not be applied to Content produced during any other session.
Where you register a Model Release against Content on the Platform — whether by submitting a Form ID, uploading a release document through ProntoID, or creating a ProntoTag — you warrant that the Model Release relates to the session in which that Content was produced.
Model Releases are not held by BentBox. They are registered with ProntoID. BentBox receives the Form ID and a record that a Model Release exists for the relevant Content; it does not receive, store or review the underlying release document, and is accordingly not in a position to assess the scope of any Model Release. ProntoID is a separate legal entity and an independent controller of the documents and personal data you submit to it, and your use of ProntoID is governed by ProntoID's own terms and privacy policy.
You remain solely responsible for compliance with all applicable laws governing consent to the commercial use of a person's image, including record-keeping obligations under the 2257 Regulations, rights of publicity and personality rights, and data protection law applicable where the individual is located.
3.6. Age and Identity Verification of Individuals Appearing in Content
Content featuring one or more individuals may only be published on the Platform where the age and identity of every individual appearing in it have been verified through ProntoID. Verification confirms that a valid government-issued identification document was provided for each individual and that the individual was at least eighteen (18) years of age on the date the Content was produced.
BentBox carries out checks against that verification record, including comparison of the likeness of the individual appearing in the Content with the verified identification photograph. Where verification is missing or incomplete, or where that comparison is inconclusive, BentBox may decline to publish the Content, remove it, withhold payment in respect of it, or suspend the Uploader's account. These checks are carried out in order to comply with the 2257 Regulations, applicable age verification legislation, and the requirements of BentBox's payment processors and the card schemes.
Identification documents are held by ProntoID and not by BentBox. Further information on how verification data is processed is set out in our Privacy Policy.
The verification described in this Section concerns the age and identity of the individuals appearing in Content. It is not a review of the existence or scope of any Model Release, responsibility for which remains with you as set out in Section 3.5.
3.7. Previously Published Content
The requirements set out in Sections 3.5 and 3.6 apply to all Content available on the Platform, including Content published before those requirements took effect.
BentBox may at any time require an Uploader to provide, or to register through ProntoID, a Model Release, identification, or a written confirmation of the circumstances in which previously published Content was produced. Where the requested documentation is not provided within a reasonable period specified by BentBox, or where it is provided but is incomplete or inconsistent with the Content, BentBox may restrict access to the Content, remove it from public availability, or remove it from the Platform.
Content restricted under this Section remains in your account and may be restored where the required documentation is subsequently provided.
Nothing in this Section limits BentBox's right to remove Content immediately where it has reason to believe that an individual appearing in it was under the age of eighteen (18) at the time the Content was produced, or that the Content is otherwise unlawful.
3.8. Prohibited Content
The following types of content are strictly prohibited:
- Content featuring or appearing to feature minors
- Non-consensual or "revenge" content
- Content that violates any law or regulation
- Stolen or pirated content
- Content promoting illegal activities
- Content that violates third-party rights
This list is a summary. The complete and binding statement of prohibited Content and conduct is set out in the Forbidden Content Standards.
3.9. Child Protection and Reporting
No Child Pornography - Zero Tolerance
For the purpose of these Terms, "Child Pornography" includes, but is not limited to:
- Any materials showing a person under the Age of Majority in a state of undress, or engaged in any suggestive or sexual acts of any kind;
- Any materials that simulate the foregoing, such as dolls, animated films or shorts, adults made to look like children or suggest that they are below the Age of Majority; and,
- Discussion of child pornography or child exploitation.
Child Pornography and the exploitation of children is a serious crime. All Community Members are strictly prohibited from using the Platform to distribute, access, or solicit Child Pornography or engage in any conduct or discussion exploitative of a person below the Age of Majority, including by way of role play.
IF YOU ARE SEEKING OR HAVE AN INTEREST IN ANY TYPE OF PEDOPHILIC OR PEDERASTIC CONTENT, YOU MUST IMMEDIATELY LEAVE THIS SITE. YOU WILL BE BANNED FOR EVEN DISCUSSING SUCH ACTIVITY OR ENGAGING IN INAPPROPRIATE ROLE PLAY. FURTHER YOU WILL ALSO BE BANNED FROM THE PLATFORM AND REPORTED TO NCMEC AND/OR LAW ENFORCEMENT FOR DISCUSSING OR ARRANGING TO DISCUSS MINORS ON ANOTHER PLATFORM. SIMPLY PUT, PEOPLE WITH INTERESTS IN CHILDREN, INCLUDING EVEN JUST ROLE PLAY, ARE NOT WELCOME TO USE THE PLATFORM AND WILL BE DEALT WITH IN THE HARSHEST MANNER POSSIBLE.
If you see anything on the Platform that violates this provision or seems questionable, report it immediately to us at info@bentbox.co. We will immediately investigate any claim and take the appropriate action.
3.10. Law Enforcement Cooperation
Reporting of Pornography Involving Minors: BentBox is committed to cooperate with any law-enforcement agency investigating child pornography, and to comply with any applicable law relating to the mandatory reporting of pornography involving minors. We encourage you to report any such unlawful activities involving minors to the authorities.
NCMEC Reporting: We reserve the right to and do report suspected violations of the Platform's minimum age requirement to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children ("NCMEC") and any and all law enforcement and other organizations we may feel appropriate, in our sole discretion. If you believe that a minor has accessed the Platform, you should immediately report it to us at info@bentbox.co.
3.11. Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act
The Platform is a Community Member-driven interactive platform with content provided by Independent Creators, and pursuant to Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, we are immune from suit for materials published through the Platform by Community Members. As such, we are not liable for content published by Community Members. As we operate an online platform and we are not in the business of producing or presenting content, we have endeavored to keep our rules to a minimum imposing only those we feel are necessary for the safety of Community Members, to comply with applicable law, and the continued operation of the Platform.
3.12. Parental Responsibility
You understand and acknowledge your responsibility to prevent minors under your care from accessing explicit, harmful or otherwise inappropriate material: you understand that no minor can have access to Content, and you agree and warrant taking responsible measure to prevent them from doing so.
Parental control protections (such as computer hardware, software, or filtering services) are commercially available and may assist you in limiting access to material that is explicit, harmful or otherwise inappropriate to minors. You are hereby informed that you can research such services at websites such as, but not limited to: https://www.safesurfingkids.com/, https://www.safekids.com/internet-safety-organizations-sites/ and https://www.safesearchkids.com/internet-safety-tips-for-kids/.
Please note that we do not make any representation or endorsement regarding any products or information found on those websites, and recommend that you conduct your own due diligence before installing any online filter. Furthermore, you agree that is it your sole responsibility, at the total exclusion of BentBox's, to keep any explicit, harmful or otherwise inappropriate material from being displayed, viewed or accessed to by minors.
3.13. Human Trafficking - Zero Tolerance Policy
Absolute Prohibition of Human Trafficking
BentBox has a zero tolerance policy for human trafficking, sex trafficking, forced labor, and any form of coercion or exploitation.
The following activities are strictly prohibited and will result in immediate account termination, forfeiture of all funds, and reporting to law enforcement:
- Promoting, facilitating, or engaging in human trafficking or sex trafficking
- Uploading or distributing content involving individuals who are being trafficked, coerced, or exploited
- Promoting or arranging in-person meetings for commercial sexual activity
- Using the Platform to recruit, transport, harbor, or obtain individuals for trafficking purposes
- Posting content featuring individuals who did not provide full, informed, and voluntary consent
- Any form of coercion, force, fraud, or deception related to content creation or distribution
- Advertising or promoting escort services, prostitution, or other illegal sexual services
All Content on BentBox Must Be:
- Created with the full, informed, and voluntary consent of all individuals depicted
- Uploaded by individuals who have complete control over their own content and earnings
- Free from any form of coercion, force, fraud, or undue influence
Law Enforcement Cooperation: BentBox is committed to working closely with law enforcement agencies to combat human trafficking. We will immediately report any suspected trafficking activity to:
- The National Human Trafficking Hotline
- The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI)
- INTERPOL and international law enforcement agencies
- Local and national police authorities
- Any other appropriate law enforcement or regulatory agencies
3.14. Reporting Suspected Trafficking
If you suspect human trafficking or exploitation on the Platform, please report it immediately:
How to Report:
- Email BentBox immediately at info@bentbox.co with subject line "URGENT: Trafficking Report"
- Contact the National Human Trafficking Hotline: 1-888-373-7888 or text 233733
- In emergencies, contact local law enforcement or dial 911 (US) or your local emergency number
Signs of Potential Trafficking: Individuals who appear fearful, controlled by others, have restricted movement or communication, show signs of physical abuse, don't control their own earnings, or are being directed by a third party in their content creation activities.
Protection for Reporters: BentBox will protect the identity of individuals who report suspected trafficking in good faith. All reports are taken seriously and investigated promptly.
3.15. Content Creator Independence
All Uploaders must certify that they:
- Are acting independently and of their own free will
- Have complete control over their account, content, and earnings
- Are not being directed, controlled, or coerced by any third party
- Retain 100% ownership and control of their content
- Are not sharing account access or earnings under duress or coercion
- Have the freedom to stop creating or uploading content at any time
- Have direct access to all payout information and funds
Third-Party Management: While legitimate business arrangements (photographers, studios, managers) are permitted, any arrangement where an Uploader does not have full autonomy, free will, and direct access to their earnings is prohibited. BentBox reserves the right to verify the independence of content creators.
3.16. Editorial Discretion – Quality, Brand and Artistic Intent
BentBox is a curated platform and favours Content made with artistic intent. Independently of whether Content complies with these T&C and the Forbidden Content Standards, BentBox reserves the right to decline to approve Content, and to remove previously approved Content from public pages of the Platform, where in BentBox's judgement the Content:
- is of poor technical quality, including low resolution, excessive compression, poor focus or exposure, unstable video, unusable audio, or screenshots showing on-screen interface elements;
- is of poor visual quality, including careless framing, distracting settings or lighting, or imagery showing no evident consideration in how it was made;
- is not in keeping with the brand, style, look and feel of the Platform, including cover images and titles that are crude, sensational or designed to shock rather than to describe the Content; or
- lacks evident artistic or creative intent, including Content that is primarily repetitive, mass-produced, recycled, or published in volume at the expense of quality.
Public cover images. Cover images, video poster images and profile pictures are displayed publicly and must not show close-ups of genitals, sexual acts (whether real or simulated), or bodily fluids. Such material may be included within the Content itself, where it is delivered privately to Users and Members who have obtained access to it, and in preview thumbnails and video previews made available to prospective purchasers. Public images should be glamour or artistic in character and of good technical and visual quality. Where a public image does not meet this standard, BentBox will ordinarily ask the Uploader to replace it rather than decline the Content.
Decisions under this Section concern the technical and visual quality of the image and its fit with the Platform, and are never based on the individual depicted or the Uploader. BentBox will, wherever practicable, raise the issue with the Uploader before acting and explain how it can be resolved, and will reconsider a decision where the Uploader believes it was made in error.
A decision under this Section is not a finding that the Uploader has breached these T&C. Accordingly, where Content is declined or removed on the grounds in this Section alone: no PayOut is withheld or forfeited and earnings from sales already made are paid in the ordinary course; the decision does not count towards any suspension or termination; Users and Members who have already purchased the Content retain access to it; and the Content remains in the Uploader's account and may be revised and resubmitted.
BentBox applies this Section to the Content and not to the Uploader, consistently across the Platform, and never on the basis of any characteristic listed in the Forbidden Content Standards as a protected characteristic. The Uploader will be given the reason for the decision and may request a review under Section 6.6.
This Section governs which Content is accepted onto the Platform. It does not affect how accepted Content is displayed, which remains as set out under "Nature of the Service".
4. PayOuts & Earnings
100% Earnings Guarantee: At BentBox, creators keep 100% of their listed prices. We use a commission-added model where our fees are added on top of your price, not deducted from your earnings.

Forbidden Content Standards: The categories of Content and conduct prohibited on the Platform are set out in full in the Forbidden Content & Community Standards. Those Standards form part of these T&C and are binding on every User, Member and Uploader. This Section summarises them and does not replace them; where this Section and the Forbidden Content Standards differ in detail, the Forbidden Content Standards apply.
Strictly Prohibited
The following content and activities are absolutely prohibited on BentBox:
- Any content featuring or appearing to feature individuals under 18 years of age
- Non-consensual content or "revenge porn", including content recorded without the knowledge of a person appearing in it and synthetic or AI-generated sexual imagery of a real identifiable person who has not consented to it
- Content involving trafficking, coercion, or any person unable to consent
- Content obtained through hacking, theft, or other illegal means
- Content carrying a watermark, logo or handle from another platform, studio or site, which BentBox treats as an indication that the Content was taken or leaked from elsewhere
- Content that violates intellectual property rights
- Content promoting illegal activities
- Hate speech, dehumanisation, or harassment directed at a person or group on the basis of race, colour, ethnicity, national origin, immigration status, religion, caste, disability, serious illness, age, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or gender expression
- Content promoting, supporting or produced by a terrorist organisation or violent extremist movement, extremist or genocidal iconography, and the glorification, denial or trivialisation of genocide or mass atrocities
- Content promoting or glorifying self-harm, suicide or disordered eating
- Publication of another person's private information, whether or not they use the Platform
6.1. Reporting Violations
If you encounter prohibited content or suspect a user is violating these Terms, please report it immediately to info@bentbox.co. We take all reports seriously and investigate promptly.
6.2. Consequences
Violations of prohibited content policies may result in:
- Immediate account suspension or termination
- Forfeiture of all earnings and balances
- Reporting to law enforcement agencies
- Legal action
6.3. Specific Prohibited Activities
The following activities are strictly prohibited and will result in immediate account closure and forfeiture of all PayOuts:
- Model Releases: Posting, uploading, or selling images, videos and other content of individuals without having their written or verified electronic consent to the use of their image for any public and commercial use. For any image to be available for commercial use a Model Release is required for any recognizable people or property in the image, must be registered through ProntoID, and must be produced to BentBox on request. The Model Release must relate to the specific session in which the Content was produced; submitting or registering a Model Release obtained for a different session does not satisfy this requirement and will be treated as a failure to provide a Model Release. Failing to provide the required Model Releases will result in the account being closed and any PayOuts annulled.
- Off-Platform Solicitation & Content Exchange: Using any part of the BentBox infrastructure — including private messages, comments, feed and club posts, profile descriptions, usernames, or any other communication feature — to promote, advertise, solicit, arrange, or facilitate the sale, trade, or exchange of Content outside of BentBox, or in any manner that bypasses BentBox's billing and payment systems. This includes directing Users to external websites, stores, social media accounts, messaging applications, or payment methods for the purpose of buying, selling, or exchanging Content, and posting external contact details or links intended to move a transaction off the Platform. All Content transactions must take place through BentBox's on-platform payment system.
- In-Person Meetings & Human Trafficking: Using the BentBox platform to promote prostitution, human trafficking, sex trafficking, forced labor, or to arrange any in-person meetings for sexual or commercial purposes. BentBox is a content platform only - it is NOT an escort service, dating platform, or meeting facilitation service. All accounts promoting in-person meetings will be closed immediately, all PayOuts annulled, and the activity reported to law enforcement. This includes but is not limited to: offering "meet-ups," "dates," "companionship," escort services, or any language suggesting in-person sexual services.
- Dating Platform Use: Using the BentBox platform as a dating platform.
- Spam: Using the BentBox messaging platform to send unsolicited messages (spam). All accounts sending spam will be closed immediately.
- Fund Exchange: Using BentBox as a method to exchange funds between accounts. Any activities that are deemed suspicious will result in the account being blocked and all PayOuts cancelled. BentBox reserves the ultimate right to cancel and close any accounts that are deemed to be using the platform to suspiciously exchange funds between accounts.
- Personal Information Sharing: In the event of personal information being shared, we reserve the rights, at our own discretion, of reporting the offending users to the relevant authorities.
- Sale of Personal Information: Any accounts involved in the sale of personal information will be closed immediately and all PayOuts annulled.
6.4. Content Deletion and Refund Policy
Content can be deleted and removed from all public pages at any time. Content that has been sold can be unpublished and removed from all public pages, and it will remain privately available to those users who have purchased access to the content.
Deleted Content - No Refunds: Deleted content that has violated our terms of use or that had to be completely removed following external events (e.g. legal investigation, deceased member, etc) will no longer be available for viewing or download and refunds will not be granted.
Refunds will not be available for deleted content that was sold as downloadable or for any transactions that have already been paid out to the seller.
6.5. Enforcement Measures
Where Content or conduct breaches these T&C or the Forbidden Content Standards, BentBox may apply any measure proportionate to the breach, including requiring correction of a title, description or tag; restricting Content so that it is no longer available on public pages while remaining accessible to Users who have already purchased it; removing Content from the Platform; withholding a PayOut pending resolution; suspending an account; terminating an account and annulling outstanding PayOuts; and referring the matter to law enforcement. The measures applicable to each category of breach are described in the Forbidden Content Standards.
Enforcement decisions are taken by a person. Where an automated check identifies Content for review — including keyword matching, duplicate detection, or the likeness comparison described in Section 3.6 — that check queues the Content for human review and does not itself determine the outcome.
6.6. Statements of Reasons and Appeals
Where BentBox restricts or removes Content, or suspends or terminates an account, it will provide the affected Uploader with a statement of the reasons for that decision, identifying the standard applied, the basis on which the decision was taken, whether automated means were involved, and how the decision may be challenged. BentBox may withhold a statement of reasons where providing it would prejudice an investigation by a law enforcement authority or where it is prohibited from providing it by law.
An Uploader may appeal a decision within six (6) months of being notified of it, by writing to info@bentbox.co with the subject line "APPEAL". Appeals are reviewed by a person who was not involved in the original decision, and BentBox aims to respond within fourteen (14) days. Where an appeal succeeds, the Content is reinstated and any related hold on earnings is released.
A decision taken under Section 3.16 may be reviewed on request in the same manner. Such a review considers whether the editorial standards were applied fairly and consistently; the assessment of quality, style and fit remains a matter for BentBox's judgement.
No appeal is available in respect of a decision taken on the ground that Content depicted, or appeared to depict, a person under the age of eighteen (18).
Nothing in this Section affects your right to bring a dispute before an out-of-court dispute settlement body or a court of competent jurisdiction.
7. Intellectual Property Rights
7.1. Your Content Rights
You retain all ownership rights to Content you upload to BentBox. No right, title or interest in Content is assigned or transferred to BentBox at any time.
By uploading Content, you grant BentBox a limited, non-exclusive, revocable, royalty-free licence to store, reproduce, transcode, resize, compress, watermark, display, transmit and deliver that Content, solely to the extent technically necessary to operate the Platform, to display the Content on the Platform, and to deliver it to Users and Members who have obtained access to it. That licence is granted for the period the Content is available on the Platform and terminates when the Content is removed, save to the extent BentBox is required to retain a copy by law or must continue to make purchased Content available to Users who have already paid for it.
The licence granted under this Section is not exclusive, does not permit BentBox to sublicense your Content to third parties except as necessary for hosting and delivery, and does not permit any use of your Content outside the Platform except as expressly set out in Section 7.4.
7.2. BentBox Intellectual Property
All Platform features, design elements, logos, and trademarks are the property of BentBox. You may not use BentBox's intellectual property without express written permission.
7.3. DMCA Compliance
BentBox respects intellectual property rights and complies with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). If you believe your copyrighted work has been infringed, please submit a DMCA notice to our designated agent.
7.4. Promotional Use of Content
BentBox may from time to time use an Uploader's Content on BentBox's own social media accounts and in promotional material for the Platform. Where it does so:
- the Uploader is named and credited in the material;
- the material links to the Uploader's page on the Platform;
- only Content that the Uploader has already made publicly available on the Platform may be used, and never Premium Content, Membership Content or Content published in a private or invitation-only section; and
- the material is adapted as necessary to the standards of the service on which it is published.
Such use is promotion of the Uploader's Content under the limited licence described in Section 7.1. It does not transfer any right in the Content, is not exclusive, and does not entitle BentBox to any further use.
An Uploader may opt out of promotional use at any time, whether before or after any particular use, by writing to info@bentbox.co. BentBox will cease such use and will remove existing material on request. Opting out has no effect on the Uploader's account, earnings or standing on the Platform.

11. Addendum
11.1. How BentBox Pays Uploaders
Uploaders are paid once a month upon request. PayOuts are processed within the first 7 business days of every month for the previous month.
Uploaders are paid once they receive a minimum payment threshold of $100 USD.
Important: Uploaders who close their account before the payable threshold is reached will forfeit the account's balance to offset infrastructure costs.
Uploaders receive an amount equal to the total of their calculated PayOut minus any fees incurred by BentBox to facilitate the payment (e.g. bank transfer fees, credit card fees, etc). You can find detailed information about PayOuts on this page: How we pay you
Uploaders are paid with one of the options available on the Account Settings page: https://bentbox.co/settings
Uploaders can keep track and monitor their sales on these pages: PayOuts and Analytics
In order to be paid uploaders need to verify their identity as specified on the Account Settings page.
Uploader Responsibility: It is uploaders' responsibility to make sure that the information required to process their payments is correct and current. BentBox cannot be held responsible for missed payments if the provided information is not correct or is not complete. BentBox cannot inform uploaders about incorrect payment information or missed payments. It is the responsibility of uploaders to check their PayOut status and make sure that the information to receive payments is up to date and correct.
Uploaders must inform BentBox about new payment details by sending an email at info@bentbox.co.
Uploaders are encouraged to contact BentBox at info@bentbox.co to make sure that their payment information is sufficient to process their payments.
11.2. Content Storage
BentBox is a sales platform, not a storage facility. Accounts that appear to be not generating sales may have their content permanently deleted in accordance with our terms of service.
11.3. Content Moderation
Users can report any content on BentBox by sending an email at info@bentbox.co along with the link to the content in question. All disputes and issues will be reviewed and resolved within 7 days.
Reports of child sexual abuse material, trafficking, and threats to life are handled immediately and without regard to that period. Reports of non-consensual intimate imagery are prioritised, and the Content concerned is restricted while the report is investigated; a person who appears in Content they did not consent to the publication of does not need to establish ownership of that Content before reporting it. Reporting routes, response times and the appeals process are set out in full in the Forbidden Content Standards.
11.4. Content Delivery
To ensure a smooth and fast user experience on any web browser, all images and videos uploaded to BentBox are compressed for web viewing. This means that when you browse the site, you are seeing an optimized version of the content, not the original file.
Sellers have the option to make their original, high-quality files available for download. If a seller enables this feature, users who purchase the content will be able to download the original, uncompressed files.
