Purchases and Payments
Purchasing Subscriptions: Fans who have added a valid payment method to their account may subscribe to a Creator’s content by clicking the “Subscribe” button on the Creator’s profile. If you purchase a subscription, you hereby authorize the Company to automatically charge the payment method on file on the first day of each billing period for the relevant subscription in a recurring manner until you cancel your subscription.
Wallets: We may allow you to prepay an allotment of funds to be stored in your wallet and used for subscriptions, pay-per-view content, tips, and other purchases. However, you may not divide the cost of purchases between your wallet and traditional payment methods. If an attempted purchase costs more than the amount of funds remaining in your wallet, we may charge your listed payment card for the full amount of that purchase. Typically, funds stored in your wallet are non-refundable; however, we reserve the right to address refund requests related to wallet funds in our sole and absolute discretion.
Trials: Creators may offer trials to Fans that are not subscribed to their content. If you purchase a trial, you will receive access to that Creator’s content at a discounted rate for the duration of the trial period. At the end of the applicable trial period, you will be charged the full price of the subscription at the beginning of each subscription period, until you cancel your subscription. To avoid any further charges, you must cancel before the end of the trial period.
Cancelling Subscriptions: Fans who have purchased a subscription may cancel any subscription at any time by turning off the “Auto-Renew” indicator located under the relevant Creator profile. If you cancel a subscription, you understand and agree that you will not receive a refund, and you will be able to continue to access the Creator’s content until the end of the existing billing period, at which time you will lose access to the content and not be re-billed.
You may block another user; however, you will immediately lose access to that user’s content if you do so, and you will not receive a refund or credit for any remaining days in your current subscription period.
If you are blocked by another user to whom you have subscribed, you will immediately lose access to that user’s content, and we reserve the right, in our sole and absolute discretion, to determine whether you will be issued any refund or credit for the remaining days in your current subscription period.
Subscriptions Cancelled by the Company: If your payment method on file becomes invalid due to an expired credit card or other similar reason and the Company is unable to charge you on the next billing period, the Company may immediately revoke your access to any paid service you have ordered until you update your payment method. If you fail to update your payment method within a reasonable amount of time, the Company may cancel your subscription.
A la Carte Purchases and Tips: Fans who have added a valid payment method to their account may, in some instances, purchase Creator’s content a la carte or tip the Creator by clicking the “Purchase,” “Tip,” or some similar button on or near the Creator’s content. If you purchase content a la carte or tip a Creator, you hereby authorize the Company to automatically charge the payment method on file for the content.
Payment Processing: We utilize various third-party payment processors and gateways, and we reserve the right to contract with additional third-party payment processors and gateways in our sole discretion to process any and all payments associated with OurKinks. Your payment information is stored by a third-party payment processor, such as CCBill. Such third parties may impose additional terms and conditions governing payment processing. You are responsible for abiding by such terms. We further disclaim any liability associated with your violation of such terms.
Refunds: Ordinarily, our standard policy is that purchases and/or fees associated with your account are final and nonrefundable. However, we reserve the right to address any refund request and issue refunds in appropriate cases, within our sole discretion.
Virtual Currency: We may allow Users to make purchases or receive payment on OurKinks using one or more virtual currencies such as Bitcoin. Acceptance of such payment or payout method is in our sole discretion and may be of limited duration. Any payment in virtual currency is irreversible. Refunds of virtual currency payments is also at our sole discretion, and, if allowed, may take the form of virtual currency transfer, or corresponding cash value of the requested refund, at our option. We disclaim all risk of loss associated with virtual currency value fluctuations. Additional administrative fees may accompany virtual currency transactions.
Taxes Related to Purchases: If the Company is required to collect or pay any taxes in connection with your purchase of a paid service, those taxes will be charged to you at the time of each purchase transaction. Additionally, if required by law, you are responsible for reporting and paying certain taxes in connection with your purchase and/or use of a paid service. These taxes may include duties, customs fees, value added tax, or other taxes (other than income tax), along with any related penalties or interest, as applicable to your purchase or country of purchase.
Taxes for Australian Sales: A Goods and Services Tax (“GST”) applies to all sales made to Australian consumers. OurKinks specifically agrees to be responsible for the collection, reporting, and remittance of the GST associated with such sales to the Australian Taxation Office. The current rate of the GST in Australia is ten percent (10%) and is calculated as 1/11th of the gross sale made.
Billing Errors: If you believe that the Company has charged you in error, you must notify the Company in writing no later than thirty (30) days after you receive the billing statement in which the error first appeared. If you fail to notify the Company in writing of a dispute within this thirty (30) day period, you waive any right to dispute the charges. You must submit any billing disputes by email to support@Ourkinks.com and include a detailed statement describing the nature and amount of the disputed charges. The Company will correct any mistakes in a bill and add or credit them against your future payments.
Chargebacks: If you make a purchase that results in a chargeback, we may immediately suspend or terminate your account.
Selling Content: Creators earn eighty to eighty five (80-85%) of the revenue generated on all subscriptions, sales, or tips related to their content and User profile. A valid payout method must be added before payments will be issued. However, we may deduct from any monies earned on subscriptions, sales, or tips that resulted in a chargeback, or any monies earned on subscriptions, sales, or tips related to content that violates these Terms.
Referral Program: The Company may provide you with a unique referral URL that allows you to earn income from any new Creator who registers for a Creator account using the same browser that they used to click the referral link. Referral payments will be made in accordance with the terms published on Ourkinks. You will not use Google Ads, Facebook Ads, or any advertising service or platform to impersonate the Company with the intention to refer other Users.

Complaints
- Ourkinks is committed to promptly resolving, in good faith, all complaints and appeals.
All media can be reported by any user directly on the site. You may also send an email to support@OurKinks.com containing your name, email address or username, applicable URLs (if any), a description of the issue (e.g., underage material, non-consensual content, personal information, impersonation, trademark infringement, spam, prostitution or trafficking, weapons, drugs, etc.), and any additional details (including whether you are depicted in the content, whether you agreed to the recording of the content, and whether you agreed to the publication of the content on Ourkinks.)
We intend to operate this system as efficiently and quickly as possible in a fair and reasonable manner. We strive to resolve all reports within seven (7) business days and provide clear guidelines to prevent issues from recurring. If a violation has occurred, we will determine the appropriate remedy and take the necessary action. Any content deemed to be illegal is removed immediately. We will not take action against other users for activity that happens on another platform or offline. We may suggest that you block the other user to prevent further interactions between you and the reported user.
Appeals from abuse takedowns can be sent to support@OurKinks.com with a written description of the basis for the appeal. In instances where disputes over consent cannot be resolved internally, such disputes are submitted to a neutral arbitration association at our expense. Once an action is taken or if more information is needed from you, we will contact you by email or other electronic message.
We reserve the right to take advanced actions against those users that (1) repeatedly violate our rules, or (2) engage in a single egregious violation of our rules. These advanced actions may include but are not limited to deleting the offending user’s account and permanently banning the user from using OurKinks in the future.

Scope of Disclaimers, Exclusions, and Limitations
- The disclaimers, exclusions, and limitations stated herein apply to the greatest extent allowed by law, but no more. The Company does not intend to deprive you of any mandatory protections provided to you by law.

Indemnification
Indemnification Provision: You will pay the Company, its subsidiaries, affiliates, licensors, service providers, content providers, employees, agents, officers, directors, and contractors (the “Indemnified Parties”) for any loss of the Indemnified Parties’ that is caused by any of the following: your access of Ourkinks; your conduct on Ourkinks, including any content you submit to Ourkinks; your breach of these Terms; your actual or alleged violation of rights of any person, including intellectual property and privacy rights; your actual or alleged violation of any law; your actual or alleged negligent, fraudulent, or intentional conduct; or your actual or alleged criminal conduct. But you are not required to pay if the loss was caused by the Indemnified Parties’ intentional misconduct.
Definitions Related to Indemnification: “Loss” means an amount that the Indemnified Parties are legally responsible for or pay in any form. Amounts include, for example, a judgment, a settlement, a fine, damages, injunctive relief, staff compensation, a decrease in property value, and expenses for defending against a claim for a loss (including fees for legal counsel, expert witnesses, and other advisers). A loss can be tangible or intangible; can arise from bodily injury, property damage, or other causes; can be based on tort, breach of contract, or any other theory of recovery; and includes incidental, direct, and consequential damages. A loss is “caused by” an event if the loss would not have happened without the event, even if the event is not a proximate cause of the loss.
Indemnified Parties’ Duty to Notify You: If the Indemnified Party has your contact information, the Indemnified Party will notify you before the 30th day after the Indemnified Party knows or should reasonably have known of a claim for a loss that you might be compelled to pay. But the Indemnified Party’s failure to give you timely notice does not end your obligation, except if that failure prejudices your ability to defend or mitigate losses.
Legal Defense of a Claim: The Indemnified Party has control over defending a claim for a loss (including settling it), unless the Indemnified Party directs you to control the defense. If the Indemnified Party directs you to control the defense, you will not settle any litigation without the Indemnified Party’s written consent if the settlement (1) imposes a penalty or limitation on the Indemnified Party, (2) admits the Indemnified Party’s fault, or (3) does not fully release the Indemnified Party from liability. You and the Indemnified Party will cooperate with each other in good faith on a claim.
No Exclusivity: The Indemnified Parties’ rights herein do not affect other rights they might have.
Disputes
Governing Law: The laws of the state of New York—without giving effect to any conflicts of law principles—govern all matters arising out of your use of Ourkinks or relating in any way to these Terms. The predominant purpose of these Terms is providing services and licensing access to intellectual property and is not a “sale of goods.” These Terms will not be governed by the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods, the application of which is expressly excluded. Except for disputes subject to arbitration, all disputes arising out of or relating to Ourkinks or these Terms will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the state or federal courts located in The State Of New York. Each party hereby submits to the personal jurisdiction of the New York to resolve all disputes not subject to arbitration. Each party hereby waives any right to seek another forum or venue because of improper or inconvenient forum. For purposes of this section, Ourkinks will be deemed solely based in the state of New York and will be deemed a passive website that does not give rise to personal jurisdiction over the Company, either specific or general, in any other jurisdiction.
Dispute Resolution: Each party will allow the other a reasonable opportunity to comply before it claims that the other has not met the duties under these Terms. The parties will first meet and negotiate with each other in good faith to try to resolve all disputes between the parties arising out of or relating to Ourkinks or these Terms.
Litigation Election: Either party may elect to litigate the following type of case or controversy: (a) an action seeking injunctive relief, or (b) a suit to compel compliance with this dispute resolution process.
Mediation: If the parties cannot settle a dispute arising out of or relating to Ourkinks or these Terms through negotiation after thirty (30) days, either party may, by notice to the other party demand that the dispute be mediated by a certified mediator in the state of New York. If the parties cannot agree upon a mediator within thirty (30) days, the parties may submit the dispute to arbitration or litigation as otherwise provided in these Terms. Mediation will take place in New York, or in such other location as the parties mutually agree. The language of the mediation will be English. Each party will bear its own costs in mediation, and the parties will share equally between them all third-party mediation costs unless the parties agree differently in writing. Each party will participate actively and constructively in mediation proceedings once started and will attend at least one joint meeting between the mediator and the parties. Any party may terminate mediation at any time after an initial meeting between the mediator and the parties.
Arbitration: If the parties cannot settle a dispute through mediation, the parties will settle any unresolved dispute arising out of or relating to Ourkinks or these Terms by arbitration administered by American Arbitration Association in accordance with its Commercial Arbitration Rules. A single arbitrator will preside over the arbitration. The arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, will have exclusive authority to resolve all disputes arising out of or relating to the interpretation, enforceability, or formation of these Terms, including any claim that all or any part of these Terms is void or voidable. Unless the parties agree otherwise, the arbitration will take place in New York. Each party will be responsible for paying any filing, administrative, and arbitrator fees associated with the arbitration. The arbitrator may grant whatever relief that would be available in a court at law or in equity, except that the arbitrator must not award punitive or exemplary damages, or damages otherwise limited or excluded in these Terms. The arbitrator’s award will include costs of arbitration, reasonable legal fees, and reasonable costs for expert and other witnesses. The arbitrator’s award will be binding on the parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. Unless required by law, neither a party nor an arbitrator will disclose the existence, content, or results of any arbitration under these Terms without the advance written consent of both parties.
Right to Injunctive Relief: Nothing in this section will prevent either party from seeking injunctive or other equitable relief from the courts for matters related to data security, intellectual property, or unauthorized access to Ourkinks.
Recovery of Expenses: In any proceedings between the parties arising out of these Terms or relating to the subject matter of these Terms, the prevailing party will be entitled to recover from the other party, besides any other relief awarded, all expenses that the prevailing party incurs in those proceedings, including legal fees and expenses. “Prevailing party” means, for any proceeding, the party in whose favor an award is rendered, except that if in those proceedings the award finds in favor of one party on one or more claims or counterclaims and in favor of the other party on one or more other claims or counterclaims, neither party will be the prevailing party. If any proceedings are voluntarily dismissed or are dismissed as part of settlement of that dispute, neither party will be the prevailing party in those proceedings.
Jury Trial Waiver: Both parties hereby waive the right to a trial by jury for any dispute arising out of or relating to Ourkinks or these Terms. Either party may enforce this waiver up to and including the first day of trial.
Class Action Waiver: All claims must be brought in the parties’ individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class or representative proceeding, and, unless the Company agrees otherwise, the arbitrator will not consolidate more than one person’s claims. Both parties acknowledge that each party is waiving the right to participate in a class action.
Limitation on Time to Bring Claims: A party will not file a claim arising out of or relating to Ourkinks or these Terms more than one year after the cause of action arose. Any claim brought after one year is barred.

No failure or delay in exercising any right or remedy, or in requiring the satisfaction of any condition, under these Terms, and no act, omission, or course of dealing between the parties, operates as a waiver or estoppel of any right, remedy, or condition. A waiver made in writing on one occasion is effective only in that instance and only for the purpose stated. A waiver once given is not to be construed as a waiver on any future occasion or against any other person.
Severability: The parties intend as follows:
that if any provision of these Terms is held to be unenforceable, then that provision will be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, unless that modification is not permitted by law, in which case that provision will be disregarded;
that if modifying or disregarding the unenforceable provision would result in failure of an essential purpose of this agreement, these Terms will be held unenforceable;

that any unenforceable provision will remain as written in any circumstances other than those in which the provision is held to be unenforceable.
