AGREEMENT TO VIEW ADULT MATERIAL

The Site is designed and intended SOLELY for ADULTS - people who are at least 18 years old (21 in Alabama, Mississippi, Nebraska, and Wyoming) -- who are interested in and wish to have access to materials of a sexually oriented nature. The materials which are available within this site may include descriptions of and graphic visual depictions of nudity and sexual activity and should NOT be accessed by anyone who is younger than 18 years old (21 in Alabama, Mississippi, Nebraska, and Wyoming) or who does not wish to be exposed to such materials.

By purchasing a Membership you are making the following statements:

"Under pains and penalties of perjury, I swear/affirm that as of this moment, I am an adult, at least 18 years of age (21 in Alabama, Mississippi, Nebraska, and Wyoming)."

"I promise that I will not permit any person(s) under 18 years of age (21 in Alabama, Mississippi, Nebraska, and Wyoming) to have access to any of the materials contained within this site."

"I understand that when I gain access to this site, I will or may be exposed to descriptions of and visual depictions of nudity and sexual activity. I am voluntarily choosing to do so, because I want to view, read and/or hear the various materials which are available, for my own personal enjoyment, information and/or education. My choice is a manifestation of my interest in news and legislative developments relating to sexual matters in our society, which is both healthy and normal and which, in my experience, is generally shared by average adults in my community. I am familiar with the standards in my community regarding the acceptance of such sexually oriented materials, and the materials I expect to encounter are within those standards. In my judgement, the average adult in my community accepts the consumption of such materials by willing adults in cirumstances such as this which offer reasonable insulation from the materials for minors and unwilling adults, and will not find such materials to appeal to a disagreeable interest or to be patently offensive."

ADDITIONAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS

In addition to these Terms and Conditions, the Site may have additional Terms and Conditions that are an integral part of this Agreement. Terms or Conditions which may be listed at the Site shall in no way invalidate any of the Terms and Conditions listed here.

SEVERABILITY

If any provision of this Agreement shall be held to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason, the remaining provisions shall continue to be valid and enforceable.
