Child Sexual Abuse Material Policy

We have a zero-tolerance policy on the Website towards any material that sexualizes, sexually exploits, or endangers children. If we find or are made aware of it, we will report it, including, without limitation, as per 18 US Code § 2258A (including, without limitation, under which WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO REPORT ANY AND ALL INFORMATION RELATING TO THE IDENTITY OF PERSONS UPLOADING CHILD SEXUAL ABUSE MATERIAL (CSAM) to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children).

We report all cases of apparent CSAM to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC), a nonprofit organization which operates a centralized clearinghouse for reporting incidents of online sexual exploitation of children. NCMEC makes reports available to appropriate law enforcement agencies globally.

BDSMLR is deeply committed to fighting the spread of CSAM. This includes media, text, illustrated, or computer-generated images. We view it as our responsibility to ensure our platform is not used for sharing or consuming CSAM, and to deter users from searching for it.

Any Content featuring or depicting a child (real, fictional, computer-generated or animated) or promoting child sexual exploitation is strictly forbidden on our platform and is a severe violation of our Terms of Service. Written Content (including, but not limited to, comments, Content titles, Content descriptions, messages, usernames, or profile descriptions) that promotes, references, or alludes to the sexual exploitation or abuse of a child is also strictly prohibited.

Additionally, at BDSMLR we endorse and stand behind the objectives of the Voluntary Principles to Counter Online Child Sexual Exploitation and Abuse; a collaborative initiative launched by the Five Country Ministerial (5 Eyes) and backed by industry-leading tech companies to combat online child sexual exploitation and abuse. While some bad actors seek to exploit advances in technology and the digital world, we believe robust, efficient, and flexible policies, as well as participating in and supporting global cross-sector collaboration, can effectively eradicate the spread of online abuse.

If you encounter child sexual abuse material on the Website, please report it to us at support.bdsmlr.com or support@bdsmlr.com.

Anyone can report potential violations of this policy.

If you encounter child sexual abuse material on the Website, please report it to us.

DO NOT post material (whether visual, audio or written Content) that:

Features, involves, or depicts a child (whether real, fictional, animated, illustrated or computer-generated), or
Sexualizes a child. This includes Content that features, involves, or depicts a child (whether real, fictional, animated, illustrated or computer-generated) engaged in sexual conduct or engaged in sexually suggestive acts.

This section serves as an indicative list and does not constitute an exhaustive list. For a more detailed description, please review the section entitled, “Prohibited Uses” above. We reserve the right at all times to determine whether Content is appropriate and in compliance with our Terms of Service, and may, without prior notice and in its sole discretion, remove Content at any time.

We have strict policies, operational mechanisms, and technologies in place to tackle and take swift action against CSAM. We also cooperate with law-enforcement investigations and promptly respond to valid legal requests received to assist in combating the dissemination of CSAM on our platform.

Our team of human moderators work around the clock to review all Content uploaded to prevent any Content which may be in violation of our CSAM policy, from appearing on our platform. Additionally, when we are alerted to an actual or potential instance of CSAM appearing on the platform, we remove and investigate the Content and report any material identified as CSAM. As part of our ongoing efforts, we regularly audit our websites to update and expand our list of banned search words, titles, and tags, to ensure our community remains safe, inclusive, diverse, and free from abusive and illegal Content.

In conjunction with our team of human moderators and regular audits of our platform, we also rely on innovative industry-standard technical tools to assist in identifying, reporting, and removing CSAM and other types of illegal Content from our platform. We use automated detection technologies as added layers of protection to keep CSAM off our platform.

These technologies include:

[Youtube’s CSAI Match, a tool that assists in identifying known child sex abuse videos;
Microsoft’s PhotoDNA, a tool that aids in detecting and removing known images of child sexual abuse;
Google’s Content Safety API, a cutting-edge artificial intelligence (AI) tool that scores and prioritizes Content based on the likelihood of illegal imagery to assist reviewers in detecting unknown CSAM.
MediaWise® service from Vobile ®, a state-of-the-art fingerprinting software and database, which scans all new user uploads to help prevent previously identified offending Content from being re-uploaded.
Safeguard –our proprietary image fingerprinting and recognition technology designed with the purpose of combatting both child sexual abuse imagery and the distribution of non-consensual intimate images, and to help prevent the re-uploading of that Content to our platform.
We also utilize age estimation capabilities to analyze Content uploaded to our platform using a combination of internal proprietary software and Microsoft Azure Face API in an effort to strengthen the varying methods we use to prevent the upload and publication of potential or actual CSAM.]

Together, these tools play a fundamental role in our shared fight against the dissemination of CSAM on our platform, as well as our mission to assist in collective industry efforts to eradicate the horrendous global crime that is online child sexual exploitation and abuse.

If you believe you have come across CSAM, or any other Content that otherwise violates our Terms of Service, we strongly encourage you to immediately alert us by flagging the Content for our review.

If you are the victim or have first-hand knowledge that Content violates our CSAM policy, please report the Content to us at support.bdsmlr.com or support@bdsmlr.com. Please include all relevant URL links to the Content in question and we will address your request confidentially and remove the Content expeditiously.

We have a zero-tolerance policy towards any Content that involves a child or constitutes child sexual abuse material. All child sexual abuse material that we identify or are made aware of results in the immediate removal of the Content in question and the banning of its uploader. We report all cases of apparent CSAM to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.

If you believe a child is in imminent danger, you should reach out to your local law enforcement agency to report the situation immediately.

Assignment

These Terms of Service, and any rights and licenses granted hereunder, may not be transferred or assigned by you, but may be assigned by us without restriction.

Arbitration Agreement and Waiver of Certain Rights

Except as set forth hereinabove, you and we agree that we will resolve any disputes between us (including any disputes between you and a third-party agent of ours) through binding and final arbitration instead of through court proceedings. You and we hereby waive any right to a jury trial of any Claim (defined below). All controversies, claims, counterclaims, or other disputes arising between you and us or you and a third-party agent of ours (each a “Claim”) shall be submitted for binding arbitration in accordance with the Rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA Rules”). The arbitration will be heard and determined by a single arbitrator. The arbitrator’s decision in any such arbitration will be final and binding upon the parties and may be enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction. You and we agree that the arbitration proceedings will be kept confidential and that the existence of the proceeding and any element of it (including, without limitation, any pleadings, briefs or other documents submitted or exchanged and any testimony or other oral submissions and awards) will not be disclosed beyond the arbitration proceedings, except as may lawfully be required in judicial proceedings relating to the arbitration, by applicable disclosure rules and regulations of securities regulatory authorities or other governmental agencies, or as specifically permitted by state law. The Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law apply to this agreement. However, the Arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, shall have the exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of these Terms of Service including, but not limited to, a claim that all or any part of these Terms of Service is void or voidable.

If you demonstrate that the costs of arbitration will be prohibitive as compared to the costs of litigation, we will pay as much of the administrative costs and arbitrator’s fees required for the arbitration as the arbitrator deems necessary to prevent the cost of the arbitration from being prohibitive. In the final award, the arbitrator may apportion the costs of arbitration and the compensation of the arbitrator among the parties in such amounts as the arbitrator deems appropriate.

This arbitration agreement does not preclude either party from seeking action by federal, state, or local government agencies. You and we also have the right to bring qualifying claims in small claims court. In addition, you and we retain the right to apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for provisional relief, including pre-arbitral attachments or preliminary injunctions, and any such request shall not be deemed incompatible with these Terms of Service, nor a waiver of the right to have disputes submitted to arbitration as provided in these Terms of Service.

Neither you nor we may act as a class representative or private attorney general, nor participate as a member of a class of claimants, with respect to any Claim. Claims may not be arbitrated on a class or representative basis. The arbitrator can decide only your and/or our individual Claims. The arbitrator may not consolidate or join the claims of other persons or parties who may be similarly situated. The arbitrator may award in the arbitration the same damages or other relief available under applicable law, including injunctive and declaratory relief, as if the action were brought in court on an individual basis. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing or herein, the arbitrator may not issue a “public injunction” and any such “public injunction” may be awarded only by a federal or state court. If either party seeks a “public injunction,” all other claims and prayers for relief must be adjudicated in arbitration first and any prayer or claim for a “public injunction” in federal or state court stayed until the arbitration is completed, after which the federal or state court can adjudicate the party’s claim or prayer for “public injunctive relief.” In doing so, the federal or state court is bound under principles of claim or issue preclusion by the decision of the arbitrator.

If any provision of this Section is found to be invalid or unenforceable, then that specific provision shall be of no force and effect and shall be severed, but the remainder of this Section shall continue in full force and effect. No waiver of any provision of this Section of the Terms of Service will be effective or enforceable unless recorded in a writing signed by the party waiving such a right or requirement. Such a waiver shall not waive or affect any other portion of this Terms of Service. This Section of the Terms will survive the termination of your relationship with us.

This present Section entitled “Arbitration” shall only apply to Users located in the United States of America.

THIS SECTION LIMITS CERTAIN RIGHTS, INCLUDING THE RIGHT TO MAINTAIN A COURT ACTION, THE RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL, THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN ANY FORM OF CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE CLAIM, THE RIGHT TO ENGAGE IN DISCOVERY EXCEPT AS PROVIDED IN AAA RULES, AND THE RIGHT TO CERTAIN REMEDIES AND FORMS OF RELIEF. OTHER RIGHTS THAT YOU OR WE WOULD HAVE IN COURT ALSO MAY NOT BE AVAILABLE IN ARBITRATION.

Miscellaneous

These Terms of Service, your use of the Website, and the relationship between you and us shall be governed by the laws of Saint Kitts and Nevis, without regard to conflict of law rules. Nothing contained in these Terms of Service shall constitute an agreement to the application of the laws of any other nation to the Website. You agree that the Website shall be deemed a passive Website that does not give rise to personal jurisdiction over us, either specific or general, in jurisdictions other than Saint Kitts and Nevis. The sole and exclusive jurisdiction and venue for any action or proceeding arising out of or related to these Terms of Service shall be in an appropriate court located in Saint Kitts and Nevis. You hereby submit to the jurisdiction and venue of said Courts.

No waiver by us of any term or condition set forth in these Terms of Service shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or condition or a waiver of any other term or condition, and any failure by us to assert a right or provision under these Terms of Service shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.

If any provision of these Terms of Service is deemed invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, the invalidity of such provision shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of these Terms of Service, which shall remain in full force and effect.

The Terms of Service, our Privacy Policy, our Copyright Policy and any documents they expressly incorporate by reference constitute the sole and entire agreement between you and us with respect to the Website.
