Monitoring and Enforcement; Termination

We have the right but not the obligation to take any of the following actions, including pursuant to when we detect, or are notified of, any activity or Content uploaded to the Website that infringes applicable laws, rights of third parties, or these Terms of Service. When deciding on appropriate action, we consider all relevant factors such as the frequency, severity, and impact of a violation, as well as any measures previously imposed on an infringer:

  Issue a written warning to the infringer. Before we temporarily or permanently suspend an infringer's access to our services following provision of manifestly illegal Content or action by such infringer we may issue a warning to the infringer, provided such warning would not conflict with the purposes of the moderation decision. Examples of misuse that may be sanctioned with a suspension or termination include, but are not limited to, the frequent uploading of Content that violates applicable law, third party rights, or these Terms of Service, or the uploading of Content that manifestly and severely violates applicable law, third party rights, or these Terms of Services, such as Child Sexual Abuse Material or revenge porn.

  Restrict the visibility or other accessibility of Content.

  Restrict the access of, suspend, or terminate a User's account.

  Restricting, suspending, or otherwise terminating a Verified Uploader's ability to monetize their Content.

  Restricting, suspending, or withholding earnings and payouts.

  monitor any communication occurring on or through this Website to confirm compliance with these Terms of Service, the security of this Website, or any legal obligation;

  take appropriate legal action, including without limitation, referral to law enforcement, for any illegal or infringing content or any illegal or unauthorized use of this Website;

We may also remove or refuse to post any Content you submit or contribute to this Website for any or no reason in our sole discretion, including, without limitation, if any information or documentation provided by you is inadequate, incomplete, or inaccurate or does not allow us to assess and confirm your identity.

If we have reason to believe that Content violates any applicable law, third party right, or these Terms of Service, we may take appropriate interim actions (as described herein), to prevent potential harm to our further investigation. In deciding on the appropriate and proportionate course of action, we will give due consideration to the legitimate interests of the impacted User, any other potentially affected rights holders, and our own legitimate interests. In particular, we will assess the nature of the Content concerned, the gravity of the respective violation or illegality, and any indications on whether or not the Content contributor was at fault. In case an investigation was prompted following report by a User, we will also consider the explanatory information and evidence provided by such User and, if available, the reporting User's submission history.

We use a variety of procedures and tools to identify, review and moderate Content. This includes both human and automated review, or a combination of both, depending on what is appropriate and required in each individual case.

Automated review may include the use of systems which assist us in identifying infringing Content, determining the prioritization of certain issues, and applying appropriate measures. Content may be compared against databases of digitally finger-printed content and other, similar repositories, such as (but not limited to) YouTube's CSAI Match. Automated review may be subject to further, manual verification, in the context of which Content and measures may be reassessed.

Without limiting the foregoing, we have the right to fully cooperate with any law enforcement authorities or court order requesting or directing us to disclose the identity or other information of anyone posting any Content on or through this Website. YOU WAIVE AND HOLD US, OUR OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, SUCCESSORS, AND ASSIGNS HARMLESS FROM ANY CLAIMS RESULTING FROM ANY ACTION TAKEN BY US AS A CONSEQUENCE OF DISCOLSING PERSONAL INFORMATION IN RELATION TO DATA DISCLOSURE REQUESTS FROM LAW ENFORCEMENT AUTHORITIES.

This Website takes a powerful stand against any form of child exploitation or human trafficking. If we discover that any Content involves underage individuals, or any form of force, fraud, or coercion, we will remove the Content and submit a report to the proper law enforcement authorities. If you become aware of any such Content, you agree to report it to this Website by contacting [email protected].

To maintain our services in a manner we deem appropriate for our venue and to the maximum extent permitted by applicable laws, this Website may, but will not have any obligation to display, reject, refuse to post, store, maintain, accept, or remove any Content posted (including, without limitation, private messages, public comments, public group chat messages, private group chat messages, or private instant messages) by you, and we may, in our sole discretion, delete, move, re-format, remove, or refuse to post or otherwise make use of Content without notice or any liability to you or any third party in connection with our operation of this Website in an appropriate manner. In addition, this Website may, but will not have any obligation to, review and monitor private messages, public comments, public group chat messages, private group chat messages, or private instant messages posted by you. Without limitation, we may do so to address Content that comes to our attention that we believe is offensive, obscene, violent, harassing, threatening, abusive, illegal, or otherwise objectionable or inappropriate, or to enforce the rights of third parties or these Terms of Service or any applicable additional terms, including, without limitation, the Content restrictions set forth herein.

We assume no liability for any action or inaction regarding transmissions, communications, or Content provided by any User or third party. We have no liability or responsibility to anyone for performance or non-performance of the activities described in this section.

Complaint Handling Procedure

If we take any action concerning you, your account, or any Content that you attempted to or uploaded on the Website, as set out in the section "Monitoring and Enforcement; Termination", you may lodge a complaint against such decision. Similarly, you may lodge a complaint if you disagree with our decision following a notice you submitted for Content reporting or removal.

In either case, the deadline for submission of a complaint is six (6) months after notification of the respective decision has been communicated to you. To lodge a complaint you may email [email protected] from the email associated with your account or wherefrom notice of the decision has been communicated, and the correspondence must include as much information as possible to allow us to investigate your complaint, and an explanation of the reason(s) for which you believe your complaint to be justified.

  The Content to which our decision related did not in fact violate applicable law, third party rights, or these Terms of Service.

  Our prior decision to not act on a notice was unjustified.

  Our prior decision was unjustified or disproportionate in any other manner.

Abuse of Reporting and/or Complaint Handling System

We may suspend your access to our reporting and internal complaint-handling systems for a reasonable period of time if you frequently submit notices or complaints that are manifestly unfounded. Prior to such suspension we may issue a warning, provided that this does not conflict with the purpose of the suspension or with other, appropriate measures that may be applied. When deciding on the suspension, we consider factors such as the frequency, severity, and impact of your violation(s), as well as any prior measures imposed. Examples of misuse of our reporting and/or complaint-handling system that may be subject to suspension include, but are not limited to:

  Frequently submitting multiple, identical, and unfounded notices or complaints.

  Frequently submitting notices or complaints that are obviously unfounded.

Arbitration Agreement & Waiver of Certain Rights (US)

This section shall only apply to Users located in the United States of America.

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 under this section 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 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.
Arbitration Agreement & Waiver of Certain Rights (EU)

This section shall only apply to Users located in the European Union.

We cooperate with out-of-court dispute settlement bodies ("Dispute Settlement Bodies") that have been certified in accordance with Art. 21(3) of the DSA. The European Commission publishes a list of these bodies.

If you have your place of establishment or are located in the European Union, you have the right to select a Dispute Settlement Body to assist in resolving disputes relating to decisions previously taken by us regarding Content uploaded by you, or notices you submitted to us. This includes cases in which complaints have remained unresolved by our internal complaint-handling system, as described in section "Complaint Handling Procedure".

Trust and Safety Initiatives
Our goal to achieve and set the highest level of Trust and Safety standards relies heavily on not only our internal policies and moderation team, but also on our array of external partnerships and technology. We have compiled a list of tools, Trust and Safety initiatives, and partnerships to provide more information about how we work to prevent and respond to illegal content on our platform, as well as ensuring user safety.

About The Community

Founded in 2015, OVF is a free, ad-supported, adult content website, offering users the ability to view, share, as well as upload their own original content. It is our priority to ensure that our community remains safe, inclusive, diverse, and free from abusive and illegal content that violates our terms of service and the spirit of the OVF community.

As part of our ongoing efforts to ensure the safety of our users and preserve the integrity of our platform, we've decided to share some of our policies, and have created related guidelines. These guidelines aim to summarize the basics of our Terms of Service, what constitutes a violation of these terms, and how we tackle these violations through prevention, identification and response. We encourage all user-generated content that adheres to our Terms of Service, our Policies and Related Guidelines, and respect and reflect our Core Values: Consent, Freedom of sexual expression, Authenticity, Originality , and Diversity. Though not an exhaustive list, following these guidelines, as well as respecting and reflecting our platform values, helps ensure OVF remains a safe, secure, and positive space for sexual expression.


Core Values

Consent, Freedom of Sexual Expression, Authenticity, Originality, and Diversity are the values that have made OVF the leading free, ad-supported, adult content hosting and streaming website, because they empower, inspire, liberate and revolutionize our understanding of sexuality and sexual expression.

Consent is mandatory. Any content uploaded to OVF must be consensual.

We define Consent as the express, voluntary, and non-coerced agreement or willingness to engage in a specific sexual activity, and, where applicable, to produce, or disseminate content for a particular audience. It is the power we, as individuals, have over our bodies, image, and the content we generate or of which we are a part. Consent is paramount to protecting the safety of our users and the integrity of our platform.

We insist that all those uploading content onto our platform ensure that they have the required consent from all those featured and otherwise in any way involved with the content in question. When you are working with others, whether participants, performers, or producers you must always take all necessary actions to protect yourself, all persons involved, and your content.

Remember that pornography does not always represent sexual interactions and behaviors typical of everyday life, and can depict diverse fantasies and role-play by consenting amateurs and professionals.

DO:

  Confirm that all subjects of uploads are over eighteen (18) years of age (or older in any other location in which 18 is not the minimum age of majority);
  Educate yourself on consent and how to recognize it ;
  Ensure you have the valid consent of all parties featured in the content to post or share said content at the time of submission;
  Adhere to the requirements outlined in our Terms of Service
  Alert us immediately of any content you believe to be non-consensual;

DON'T:

  Upload or share any content involving individuals under eighteen (18) years of age (or older in any other location in which 18 is not the minimum age of majority);
  Upload content without having the valid consent of all those featured, or otherwise involved, in the production of the content;
  Upload any content if you're unsure as to whether you have the valid consent necessary to share or post that content;
  Assume you have permission to post content without express and valid consent of all parties featured;
  Pressure someone into sexual activity or sharing intimate content using fear, intimidation, or misrepresentation;
  Post or expose personal or confidential information about any individual without their consent;
  Violate the requirements outlined in our Terms of Service.

OVF never encourages, condones, or tolerates non-consensual content.

For more information on how we treat non-consensual content, please review our Non-consensual Content Policy, and our Terms of Service.

Freedom of Sexual Expression
We aren't afraid to keep it kinky, fun, and even vanilla at OVF. We understand that sexual expression is ambiguous, subjective, and complex - there is no norm when it comes to what turns you on! When acted out by consenting adults in safe environments and adhering to our Terms of Service, desires, fetishes and fantasies are welcomed and supported on our platform.

DO:

  Feel free and unashamed to share and indulge in what excites and entertains you - so long as that content adheres to our Terms of Service;
  Learn more about Pornhub's Sexual Wellness Center https://www.pornhub.com/sex/;
  Enjoy and explore yourself, our platform, and what the OVF community has to offer;
  Remember pornography does not always represent sexual interactions and behaviors typical of everyday life, and can depict diverse fantasies and role-play by consenting amateurs and professionals;
  Respect the OVF values, Terms of Service, and community of users.

DON'T:

  Repress or oppress others on the OVF platform;
  Assume diverse fantasies and role-play are appropriate in every day sexual interactions without seeking and obtaining valid consent from the other individuals involved;
  Violate our Terms of Service.

Authenticity
Authenticity, like consent, is an integral part of the content that makes OVF the leader in adult entertainment. When uploading content to our site, Impersonating and Misrepresenting with intent to cause harm or spread misinformation is not tolerated.
 

DO:

  Abide by the minimum age of majority set out by your jurisdiction, as outlined in our Terms of Service. Only visit, view, and/or use our platform if you are at least (18) years of age (or older in any other location in which 18 is not the minimum age of majority);
  Consider becoming OVF verified and show our global community that you're a real person, and not a bot. OVF provides Photo Verification for our users. Photo verification allows you to verify your profile, showing the OVF community that you're really a human being, and not a robot. By getting verified, you acquire a blue checkmark to your profile. Verification can enhance profile credibility and exposure. If you see a profile with a blue checkmark, you know the user is a real person.
  Upload and share original and consensual adult content;
  Adhere to the requirements outlined in our Terms of Service.

DON'T:

  Upload or share any content involving individuals under eighteen (or older in any other location in which 18 is not the minimum age of majority);
  Create a profile assuming to speak for another individual, group or entity without authorization.
  Upload or share content with the explicit aim of deceiving people;
  Misrepresent your identity or those featured in content with the intent to cause harm.
  Impersonate others with the aim of causing harm or dangerous behavior;
  Violate the requirements outlined in our Terms of Service.


Originality
Posting stolen content is a copyright infringement and a direct violation of our Terms of Service, so make sure you post only content that is yours or over which you have the rights. Remember, copyright is complicated. You may be in the video but may have no right to it. To ensure no one reuploads your content without your permission, you can fingerprint, or if you find your content on OVF, simply fill out our DMCA form and unauthorized content will be removed.

DMCA stands for Digital Millennium Copyright Act. Learn more about our Copyright policy our DMCA takedown process.

DO:

  Upload original content;
  Share content and support content creators with their consent and authorization;
  Fill out our DMCA form to remove unauthorized copyright infringement;
  Consider fingerprinting your content for free with MediaWise from Vobile as an added layer of protection of the content in question*;
  Learn more about our copyright policy;
  Adhere to the requirements outlined in our Terms of Service.

DON'T:

    Upload content that is not yours;
    Assume you have the authorization to upload someone else's content;
    Share content you know to be or constitutes copyright infringement;
    Otherwise violate the requirements outlined in our Terms of Service

Diversity
Diversity shouldn't be a kink, but it is a big turn-on. So whatever your ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender, ability, or body type, the OVF community welcomes all consenting adults to connect, upload and share original content, shame-free. Our platform is for exploration and discovery, and we don't permit any discriminatory abuse towards any user.

DO:

  Feel empowered to upload content no matter your ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender, ability, or body type;
  Connect with the community and explore or discover your kink;
  Learn more about our Violent content policy and how context and consent are integral;
  Learn more about our inflammatory content policy and how context and consent are integral;
  Subscribe to your favorite channels, tip and support your favorite performers;
  Adhere to the requirements outlined in our Terms of Service

DON'T*:

  Shame or abuse anyone based on their ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender, ability, body-type, or kink;
  Post abusive or hateful comments or messages of a racist, homophobic, transphobic, fat-shaming, or otherwise derogatory nature intended to hurt or shame those individuals featured;
  Incite or encourage others to post abusive or hateful comments or messages;
  Incite or encourage violence towards any individual, group, or entity;
  Violate the requirements outlined in our Terms of Service

* Consent and intent are integral to the OVF platform, community, and all images and videos uploaded to the site. Context therefore plays a critical role in evaluating and distinguishing between the diverse, and often, provocative content that reflects our freedom of sexual expression value and that is tolerated on our platform, from what clearly crosses the line and is strictly prohibited.


Community Guidelines

Updated: November 2024

OVF prides itself on being a safe space for our creators and users to upload and consume adult content.

Child Sexual Abuse Material Policy

Updated: November 2024

We have a zero-tolerance policy towards any material that sexualizes, sexually exploits, or endangers children on our platform. If we find or are made aware of it, we will report it.

OVF is deeply committed to fighting the spread of child sexual abuse material (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, 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.

For the purposes of this policy, a child is any person under eighteen (18) years of age. 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.

Additionally, at OVF 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)[1] 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 OVF, please report it to us via our Content Removal Request Form. For information on how to report Child Sexual Abuse Material please refer to the Additional Resources and Support section below.

Anyone can report potential violations of this policy.

For more information on how to report content, see the section titled "How Can You Help Us".

All complaints and reports to OVF are kept confidential and are reviewed by human moderators who work swiftly to handle the content appropriately. If you believe a child is in imminent danger, please also alert your local law enforcement authorities immediately.

[1] The Five Country Ministerial is made up of the Homeland Security, Public Safety and Immigration Ministers of Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and the United States, who gather annually to collaborate on meeting common security challenges.
 If you encounter child sexual abuse material online, please report it to us and alert your local law enforcement authorities immediately.
 
 
DO NOT post material (whether visual, audio or written content) that*:

  Features, involves, or depicts a child.
  Sexualizes a child. This includes content that features, involves, or depicts a child (including any illustrated, computer-generated, or other forms of realistic depictions of a human child) engaged in sexually explicit conduct or engaged in sexually suggestive acts.

* This serves as an indicative list and does not constitute an exhaustive list. For a more detailed description, please review our Terms of Service, under the section entitled, "Prohibited Uses". OVF reserves 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 or other policies, 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.


How Can You Help Us

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 by completing and submitting our Content Removal Request Form. Please include all relevant URL links to the content in question and we will address your request confidentially and remove the content expeditiously.

Anyone can report violations of this policy using our Content Removal Request Form, whether they have an account on our platform or not.


Consequences for violating this policy

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.

You may also choose to reach out to and report cases of child sexual exploitation or abuse material to any of the following resource organizations dedicated to eliminating and preventing child sexual exploitation. Reports can be made anonymously and are an integral part in protecting the safety of children.

We work with multiple organizations whose work is dedicated to fighting child sexual exploitation around the world.


Non-Consensual Content Policy
 
Consent, as a rule and value, is paramount to the security of our users and integrity of our platform.

We require all uploaders to affirm they have obtained and maintain valid consent and proper release documentation for all persons featured in all content uploaded to the platform. In addition, content must adhere to our core values, community guidelines, as well as our Terms of Service.

Content that we identify as a violation of our Non-Consensual Content Policy will be removed, and the associated user's account actioned accordingly.

What is considered a violation of our non-consensual content policy:

The recording or distribution of intimate images (that is, photos and videos that are generally understood to depict explicit sexual activity or nudity or partial nudity) without someone's consent is a violation of that person's privacy and is a severe violation of our Terms of Service, and is strictly prohibited. Content featuring or promoting non-consensual acts, real or simulated, is also prohibited.


Guidelines

Do NOT use the platform to upload, post, or otherwise share explicit images or videos that were taken, appear to have been taken or that were shared without the consent of the people involved. Examples of the types of content that violate this policy include, but are not limited to*:

  Videos or photos of any person, whether in a public or private setting, without that person's valid written consent (such as hidden/spy camera content, or up-skirt content);
  Sharing explicit sexual images of someone else without their valid written consent (this would include, namely: non-consensual distribution of intimate images, also commonly referred to as "revenge porn");
  Sharing non-sexually explicit images of someone else without their valid written consent;
  "Doxing", defined as exposing private and identifying information about a particular individual, including phone number, e-mail, address, or full name.

To help protect the integrity of the platform, we also prohibit content, including fictional, simulated, or animated, that features or depicts*:

  Depictions of non-consensual sexual activity*, including coerced or forced sexual acts, rape, or sexual assault;
  Persons appearing drugged, incapacitated, or intoxicated** involved in sexual acts;
  Any "deepfakes" whatsoever (AI-generated, modified, or other manipulations of a person's image, whether in picture or video, to deceive or mislead the viewer into believing that person is acting or speaking in the way presented).

* See our section below on Sensitive Themes and Considerations for Consent.

** Intoxicated (including pretending to be) means a state induced by alcohol or drugs, whether legal, illicit, or recreational as determined by OVF in its sole discretion, such that a performer's judgment appears to the reasonable observer as objectively impaired.


Sensitive Themes and Consideration for Consent

It is important to remember that pornography does not always represent sexual interactions and behaviors typical of everyday life, and often depicts diverse fantasies and role-play scenarios by consenting amateurs and professionals. In all cases, whether professional or amateur, we expect content to adhere to OVF's core values and Terms of Service.

When reviewing content depicting the sensitive themes listed below, we take the following into consideration to determine whether it violates our Terms of Service. We recommend reviewing our detailed policy before uploading content involving these sensitive themes. Consent must be determinable by the reasonable observer from the material itself, which may be assessed either through clear verbal or visual cues.

Note that we consider many factors to distinguish fantasy from reality. The following is a non-exhaustive list of what we consider sensitive themes. Accordingly, content engaging with the following themes is subject to removal, and appropriate account enforcement, where found to be in violation of our Terms of Service:

  Spells, Mesmerizing, or Possession: We do not permit content where:
    A performer is depicted as incapacitated, or otherwise completely unconscious because of possession, spells, or mesmerizing;
    Performers display signs of distress or panic during or after the act; or
    Realistic depictions of spellbound, mesmerized, or possessed performers engaged in or subjected to sexual acts.
  Sleep: Where there is a component of sleep in the content, the person must wake up within a reasonable time from the start of any sexual act(s) and consent must be made clear by that person.
  Bondage and Restraints: If a scene features the use of a gag, restraint(s), or other device(s) that would render a performer unable to clearly speak or move, consent to continued participation must be clearly determinable from the material itself, or where it cannot be, consent must be clearly determinable through other visual or verbal cues.
  Sub-Dom Fantasies: Consent must be determinable from the material itself, through clear verbal or visual cues.

 To be clear, our rules with respect to these sensitive themes are not a judgment on these forms of sexual expression but aim to make clear what is or is not acceptable on our platform, to maintain a safe community.
 
Enforcement

We are steadfast in our commitment to protecting the safety of our users. As a content sharing platform, OVF relies on technology, our team of human moderators, and our wider community of users to help identify violative content. We also actively cooperate with law-enforcement investigations and promptly respond to valid legal requests received in order to assist in combating the dissemination of non-consensual recordings and distribution on the OVF platform.

24/7 Human Moderation Team

Our team of moderators and support staff work 24 hours a day, 7 days a week in order to review all uploaded content for violations of our Terms of Service, address user concerns, and remove all non-consensual content that we identify or of which we are made aware.

Community Oversight and Detection

Detecting non-consensual images at the time of upload is complex. While we use technology to combat the distribution of non-consensual intimate images and videos, we also rely on people proactively reporting that type of content to us. As such, members of our community play an important role in helping to secure the integrity and safety of our platform.

If you have first-hand knowledge of content on the platform that violates these guidelines, or is otherwise illegal and abusive, you may alert us by filling out and submitting our Content Removal Request Form as soon as possible so that we can take appropriate and swift action.

If you are a registered user, if you come across content, users, or comments that you think may be harmful for the community, you may also flag them to us for review.

Automated Tools

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 illegal and abusive content from our platform.


Consequences for Violating this Policy

In all cases where we identify or are made aware of content that violates this policy, our Trust & Safety and Moderation teams work swiftly to:

  Review and remove infringing content;
  Fingerprint the content in question to help block future uploads of the same content to our sites; AND
  Suspend or permanently terminate the associated uploader's account, where appropriate.


How Can You Help Us?

Hate Speech Policy

Updated: November 2024

OVF offers the adult community an open, expressive, safe, and diverse space for an array of legal sexual content, expression, and kinks. To ensure the safety of that space, we do not tolerate hate speech in any form.

One of our core values is inclusivity, and hate speech threatens community safety. Hate speech has no place on our platform, and we are committed to its eradication.  

Our hate speech policy is designed to help educate our community of users and to protect our platform from violence.
What is speech and what is hate speech?

We consider speech as any form of published communication on, to, or via the platform. We define hate speech as any communication or material that promotes, calls for, supports, or advocates for the delegitimization, dehumanization, discrimination, segregation, detestation, or vilification of a person or group of persons by reason of the fact that they are identifiable on the basis of protected characteristics.

At its most extreme, hate speech calls for, threatens, or promotes violence against people that are identifiable on the basis of protected characteristics.
Protected Characteristics

For the purposes of the policy, protected characteristics are defined as follows:

  Age
  Sexual Orientation
  Sex
  Gender
  Gender Identity
  Ethnicity
  Race
  National origin
  Religion
  Caste
  Serious disease
  Disability
  Immigration status

Guideline

As always, don't post content if you think it might violate our Terms of Service. We reserve the right to remove content at our sole discretion that we believe violates our Policies or Terms of Service.

Do NOT upload, post, or otherwise communicate content that threatens, advocates, justifies, promotes, or displays any of the following:

  Physical or sexual violence against any persons on the basis of protected characteristics; violence toward organizations or target (building/institution/territory)
  Any sign, symbol, slogan, emblem, text, flag, hand gesture, or poster associated with any group, person, or organization that proclaims a violent and/or hateful mission (e.g. known terrorist organizations listed by the UN Security Council Consolidated List)
  Any group, person, or organization that proclaims as its mission or is otherwise generally accepted or known to be associated with violence, threatening, calling for, promoting, or advocating of hate toward persons based on protected characteristics
  Speech which expresses the belittlement, de-humanization, vilification, segregation or banishment of a person or group; denial or minimization of a persecution of a person or group
  Stereotypes, tropes, expressions, slurs, and/or epithets, including other words or phrases used pejoratively toward or in reference to persons based on protected characteristics, regardless of the intended audience*;


Freedom of Expression
We recognize that sometimes the line between permitted speech and hate speech will be difficult to draw.

You may not like everything you see, read, or hear on OVF. However, this does not mean that such content constitutes hate speech. It is important to remember that other forms of expression, while repugnant, offensive, weird, or distasteful to some, do not always rise to the level of hateful expression. Context also plays a role in our assessment of hate speech.

The following are acceptable as long they adhere to our Terms of Service:

  Humiliation play as a fetish is allowed so long as it does not involve any form of hateful expression (see above);
  Role-play is acceptable so long as it does not promote, glorify, justify, or incite violence, dehumanization, or vilification of a person or group of persons, on the basis of protected characteristics;
  Slurs used self-referentially and/or in an empowering way, and where additional context is provided to be able to clearly distinguish intent and which is not employed excessively;
  Any of the above prohibitions when it is clear to the reasonable observer that the content is intended as satire or has educational merit;

Enforcement
We are steadfast in our commitment to protecting the safety of our users. As a content sharing platform, OVF relies on technology, our team of human moderators, and our wider community of users to help identify violative content. We also actively cooperate with law-enforcement investigations and promptly respond to valid legal requests received in order to assist in combating the dissemination of non-consensual recordings and distribution on the OVF platform.

24/7 Human Moderation Team

Our team of moderators and support staff work 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to review all uploaded content for violations, address user concerns, and remove all content that we identify or of which we are made aware of and deem as constituting hate speech.

Community Oversight and Detection

We always encourage our community of users who come across content that is suspected to violate our guidelines to alert us by filling out and submitting our Content Removal Request form as soon as possible so that we may take appropriate and swift action. If you are a registered user, if you come across content, users, or comments that you think may be harmful for the community, you may also flag them to us for review.


Consequences of Violating this Policy
In all cases where we identify or are made aware of content that may violate our Terms of Service and Community Guidelines, our dedicated team works swiftly to review and remove any violative content.

Depending on the findings, our team may also:

  Utilize sophisticated industry-standard tools to fingerprint the content in question to block potential future uploads of the same content to our sites; AND
  Suspend or permanently terminate the associated user's account, where appropriate.

How Can You Help Us?
If you believe you have come across content that may otherwise violate our Terms of Service, reach out to us at [email protected], ensuring to provide us with anything that may assist us in locating the problematic content (ex. URL to the video or where the comment(s) can be found). Our team will work swiftly to review your claim and remove content where we determine a violation of this Policy or our Terms of Service. Alternatively, if you're signed into your OVF account, you can alert us by flagging the content for our review.


Animal Welfare Policy

Updated: November 2024

OVF is a content-hosting and sharing platform for consenting adult use and entertainment only. At OVF, we denounce the involvement in any way of animals in any abusive and/or sexual context.

That is why all forms of animal* abuse and cruelty, whether physical or psychological is prohibited. More specifically, we don't allow any visual or written content involving animal abuse, including "crushing." We also prohibit content that involves or advocates for the sexual exploitation of animals, including as the object of sexual interest, and/or contact with an animal for a sexual purpose, including "bestiality."

Refer to our guideline below for some practical examples of what we do NOT allow on OVF.

* For the purposes of the present guideline, 'animal' is considered to be any actual, true, or realistic representation or depiction (including animated) non-human animal.


Guidelines

The following guidelines apply to audio, written, and visual, as well as actual, simulated, and animated content

Do NOT post any content (including animated) that features, depicts, advocates for, or promotes:

  Any sexual act or contact in sexual context, between a human and an animal, whether visual, verbal, or written.
  Placement of animals by humans within cruel or unusual confinement, regardless of the presence of humans.
  The depiction or appearance of emotional distress caused to an animal by a human.
  Forcing animals into an act (violent or sexual) with a human or other animal.
  Sexual arousal by, from, or with animals, whether visual, verbal, or written.
  Sexual activity while in proximity of an animal where the animal appears to be the primary focus and/or the object of arousal for the individual(s).
  Subjecting animals to any type of bodily harm.
  Animal and insect crushing.


Enforcement

We are steadfast in our commitment to protecting the safety of our users. As a user-generated content hosting platform, OVF relies on technology, our team of human moderators, and our wider community of users to help identify violative content.

24/7 Human Moderation Team

Our team of moderators and support staff work 24 hours a day, 7 days a week in order to review all uploaded content for violations of our Terms of Service, and address user concerns, and remove all content that we identify or which we are made aware of and deem as violating our policies and/or Terms of Service.

Community Oversight and Detection

If you come across content, users, or comments that you think may violate this policy or otherwise be harmful for the community, you may flag this content to us for review.


Consequences for Violating this Policy

In all cases where we identify or are made aware of content that may violate our Terms of Service and Community Guidelines, our dedicated team works swiftly to review and remove any violative content.

Depending on the findings, our team may also:

  Utilize sophisticated industry-standard tools to fingerprint the content in question in order to block potential future uploads of the same content to our sites; AND
  Suspend or permanently terminate the associated user's account, where appropriate.


How Can You Help Us?

If you believe you have come across content that may otherwise violate our Terms of Service reach out to us at [email protected] or, if you're signed into your OVF account, you can alert us by flagging the content for our review.



Violent Content Policy

Any content that depicts activity or behavior posing a real threat or likelihood of causing serious physical injury or death to the person(s) featured is strictly prohibited on our platform and constitutes a serious violation of our Terms of Service.

It is important to remember that pornography does not always represent sexual interactions and behaviors typical of everyday life, and often depicts diverse fantasies and role-play scenarios by consenting amateurs and professionals. Valid consent and intent are integral for all images and videos uploaded to the site, and therefore context plays a critical role in evaluating whether extreme fantasies violate our Terms of Service or pose a real threat or likelihood of causing serious distress or physical injury to the individuals involved.

OVF aims to offer the adult community an open, safe, and diverse space for an array of sexual expression and preferences. Consent and context are key to distinguishing content that depicts prohibited content, such as extreme violence posing a serious risk of harm or death, from exploring pain, kinks and/or less traditional sexual-based activities. Content that is categorized as BDSM, hardcore, or rough may often contain graphic content and/or violence. Although we recognize that some may consider BDSM, Hardcore, or Rough sex as "degrading" or "dehumanizing," these words are entirely subjective. Essentially, what is degrading and dehumanizing to you may be empowering and dignifying for someone practicing safe BDSM. To learn more about healthy BDSM, we invite users to check out our additional resources section below.

That being said, we wish to highlight that although fetishes such as BDSM, Hardcore, and Rough Sex are popular categories, the vast majority of this style of content is created and produced by professionals in a safe and secure environment, employing strict consent and safety-based protocols, and involving consenting adults. In all cases, be it professional or amateur, we expect all user content to adhere to the OVF's Core Values.

OVF is encouriging our usesrs to visit Pornhub's Sexual Wellness Center who offers advice from a variety of health care practitioners, sex therapists, and industry experts. To learn more about their commitment to promoting sexual wellness visit Pornhub's Sexual Wellness Center. If you are seeking advice on your current sexual activities or are looking to try something new, it is important to do your research and educate yourself on safe practice. Consider checking out and/or contacting one of the resources listed below in our additional resources section.



Guidelines

Do NOT post any content that*:

  Features non-consensual activity
  Depicts activity or behaviour posing a real threat or likelihood of causing serious physical injury or death to the person(s) featured
  Features animal crushing (one or more living non-human mammals, birds, reptiles or amphibians is purposely crushed, burned, drowned, suffocated, impaled or otherwise subjected to serious bodily injury)
  Features blood resulting from inflicted bodily harm

We reiterate that consent is integral for all content uploaded to the platform, and context is a key component when evaluating graphic and/or content that contains violence. Consent and intent play a critical role in evaluating context and whether or not the extent of violence depicted in content is prohibited.

*This serves as an indicative list and does not constitute an exhaustive list. For the full description, please review our Terms of Service, under the section entitled, Prohibited Uses. OVF reserves the right at all times to determine whether content is appropriate and in compliance with our Terms of Service, and may remove any content at any time, without prior notice and in its sole discretion, if such content is found to be in violation of our Terms of Service or is otherwise objectionable.



Enforcement

Context and intent are integral aspects of our moderation protocols when it comes to identifying the aforementioned types of content. OVF relies on a dedicated team of human moderators that work around the clock to review and remove all content that violates our Terms of Service, including content that depicts extreme violence posing a serious risk to the lives of individuals involved. Amongst a range of cues and criteria, our compliance team monitors for language, intent and context in order to distinguish content that constitutes a credible threat to public or personal safety.
 If you come across content on our platform that violates this policy, or content that otherwise violate our Terms of Service, please report it to us by completing and submitting our Content Removal Request Form. Once submitted and reviewed by one of our moderators, the content in question will be removed, where appropriate, expeditiously.


Consequences for Violating this Policy

We will immediately remove any content found to violate the present policy. Where appropriate, the user's associated account may also be permanently terminated.

Copyright

OVF's Terms of Service do not allow users to upload content that infringes upon intellectual property rights, including copyright and trademark. The OVF community thrives on new and original content, and we ask users to be sure that they respect others' legal rights before sharing or uploading content. Publishing or otherwise distributing content for which you do not have authorization is strictly prohibited.

Furthermore, OVF's partnerships with numerous content producers, both professional and amateur are vital for the growth and continued success of the platform and its community, and so respecting intellectual property rights is essential to promote expression, originality and innovative new content.

We take claims of copyright infringement seriously and consider well-founded claims to be a serious violation to our Terms of Service. OVF operates a clear Copyright Process in relation to any content alleged to infringe the copyright of a third party. We will respond to notices of alleged copyright infringement that comply with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (the "DMCA") or any other applicable intellectual property legislation or laws.

If you believe that any Content violates your copyright, please see our Copyright Process for instructions on sending us a notice of copyright infringement.

Request a Copyright Takedown

If you believe any material accessible on OVF infringes your copyright, you may submit our copyright infringement notification form (or "DMCA takedown notice"). This form is designed to help you identify your content accurately and help speed up the process of content take-down. These requests should only be submitted by the copyright owner or an agent authorized to act on the owner's behalf.

Before submitting your notice, we invite those who claim copyright infringement to first consider whether fair use, fair dealing, or a similar exception to copyright applies to the content in question.


What Happens When You Submit a DMCA Takedown Request?

Once submitted and received, your request will be promptly addressed by our copyright/DMCA team. We will only act on copyright takedown notices that comply with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (the "DMCA") or any other applicable intellectual property legislation or laws. In the event that our team considers that your request does not comply with the DMCA information requirements for a valid takedown, you will be promptly notified.

Upon receipt of a compliant DMCA takedown notice, the copyright owner's name, or alternative stage name, where specifically requested as a replacement to the copyright owner's name, will be published on OVF in place of disabled content. This will become part of the public record of your DMCA Notice, along with your description of the work(s) allegedly infringed. All the information provided in a DMCA takedown notice, the actual DMCA Notice (including your personal information), or both may be forwarded to the uploader of the allegedly infringing content. By submitting a DMCA takedown notice, you consent to having your information revealed in this way.

Responses may include removing, blocking or disabling access to material claimed to be the subject of infringing activity, terminating the user's access to OVF, or all of the foregoing.

If we remove or disable access to material in response to such a notice, we will take reasonable steps to notify the user that uploaded the affected content material that we have removed or disabled access to so that the user has the opportunity to submit a counter notification. For more information on the counter-notification process, please visit: https://www.sts-pro.info/dmca.


Protecting Your Work

We strongly encourage users to "fingerprint" the content in question as an additional safeguard against having your work used by others without authorization. We use the MediaWise® service from Vobile®, a third-party digital fingerprinting system, to assist us in identifying and blocking content from being uploaded by users. Videos uploaded to OVF are compared against a database of digital fingerprints maintained by MediaWise. Once the content is fingerprinted, this should effectively block future uploads of the content to our platform.

If you are interested in having your content digitally fingerprinted by Vobile you may contact them directly via http://www.vobileinc.com/contact/.
Alternatively, we may assist you in fingerprinting the content at issue. Please advise us if you want us to take this action on your behalf by duly completing and submitting our content removal request form here, and specifying that you would like assistance in having your content, or the content in which you are featured but did not consent to have shared, digitally fingerprinted.
