Obsidian Club — Terms of Service

1. Agreement to these Terms

These Terms of Service ("Terms") are a binding contract between you and Obsidian Club (operated by [legal entity — formation in progress], "we," "us"), the operator of the website at obsidianclub.online and related services (together, the "Platform"). By creating an account, accepting an invitation, checking the boxes presented at registration, or using the Platform, you agree to these Terms, our Privacy Policy, our Acceptable Use Policy, and our Code of Conduct and Safety & Respect Guidelines, all of which are incorporated by reference. If you do not agree, do not use the Platform.

The Platform is a private, invitation-only community for verified adults. It is not a pornography service, an escort or dating service, or a marketplace for sexual services. It is a members' space organized around a consent-centered lifestyle culture and the Torross brand.

2. Eligibility and age (18+)

You represent and warrant that you are at least 18 years old (or the age of majority in your jurisdiction, if higher), that you have the legal capacity to enter this contract, and that your use complies with the laws that apply to you. Access requires age verification — for the launch cohort, this is manual review by administration; a third-party verification provider will be added before general availability. Providing false age or identity information, or helping a minor access the Platform, is a permanent, non-appealable red-line violation (Section 10). No part of the Platform is directed to anyone under 18.

3. Invitations, tokens, and sponsorship

3.1 Invitation required. Registration requires a valid, single-use invitation token obtained through one of: (a) a token included with a purchase of a Torross item; (b) a personal invitation from an existing member who acts as your sponsor, recorded in our systems; or (c) an approved application from the waitlist.

3.2 Nature of the token. An invitation token is a revocable, personal, non-transferable permission to apply for membership. It is not property, not a currency, not a security, and confers no ownership, no guaranteed access, and no monetary value. We may void, expire, or decline to honor any token at our discretion, including where we suspect fraud, resale, or circumvention of these Terms.

3.3 Sponsorship. If you sponsor another person, you confirm you reasonably believe they are an adult who will honor the Code of Conduct. Sponsorship is recorded for community-integrity purposes. Sponsorship does not make you responsible for another member's conduct, and it does not make us responsible to you for that member's conduct. We may consider a member's sponsorship history when making membership decisions.

3.4 No resale / no sharing. You may not sell, trade, publish, or transfer invitation tokens or account access. Doing so is a red-line violation.

4. Accounts and security

4.1 You register with a name, email, and password, or via Google sign-in (OAuth). You are responsible for keeping your credentials secure and for all activity under your account. Notify us promptly at support@obsidianclub.online of any unauthorized use.

4.2 One account per person unless we approve otherwise. You may not impersonate others, create accounts to evade enforcement, or use automated means to access the Platform without our written permission.

4.3 We may require re-verification of age or identity at any time as a condition of continued access.

5. The community and your content

5.1 User content. The Platform lets members post text and photographs, comment, and participate in chat rooms and spaces ("User Content"). You are solely responsible for your User Content and for having all rights and consents necessary to post it, including the consent of every identifiable person depicted.

5.2 Consent is mandatory. You may only post intimate or explicit imagery of yourself, or of another adult who has given specific, informed, revocable consent to that posting on this Platform. Posting content without the depicted person's consent, or that violates our red lines, is prohibited and may be unlawful.

5.3 Content standards. The Platform permits nudity and sensual/erotic expression within the bounds of consent. It prohibits the categories set out in the Acceptable Use Policy, including any sexual content involving minors, non-consensual content, content depicting actual sexually explicit conduct as defined there, doxxing, and off-Platform distribution of members' content.

5.4 License to operate. You grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, store, reproduce, display, and transmit your User Content solely to operate, secure, and moderate the Platform and as needed for backups and legal compliance. This license ends when your content is deleted, except for residual backup copies and records we must retain by law. We claim no ownership of your User Content.

5.5 No confidentiality between members; anti-leak rule. Content shared inside the Platform is for members inside the Platform. Capturing, screenshotting, downloading for redistribution, or publishing another member's content or identity outside the Platform is a red-line violation and may expose you to legal liability to us and to other members.

6. Moderation and our discretion

6.1 We may, but are not obligated to, monitor, review, moderate, remove, label, restrict, or refuse any User Content or account, at our discretion, with or without notice. Our moderation choices are rights, not promises, and do not create any duty to you or to any third party.

6.2 We operate the Platform, our Code of Conduct, and our red lines to keep the community safe and lawful. Nothing in these Terms requires us to publish, preserve, or restore any content or account.

7. Prohibited conduct

You agree not to: (a) violate the Acceptable Use Policy or Code of Conduct; (b) post or facilitate any content sexualizing a minor; (c) engage in, solicit, or facilitate commercial sexual services, trafficking, or exploitation; (d) harass, threaten, dox, stalk, or share others' content or identity off-Platform without consent; (e) infringe intellectual-property or privacy rights; (f) upload malware, scrape, reverse engineer, or attack the Platform; or (g) use the Platform for any unlawful purpose. Details and the full red-line list are in the Acceptable Use Policy, which is part of these Terms.

8. Fees; no purchase of status or access

The Platform is currently free. Torross goods are sold separately, and buying a Torross item is not a purchase of Platform access, status, or any membership right — it may include an invitation token as described in Section 3. We may later offer paid tools (such as additional storage or the ability to create spaces); those are tools, not the sale of status or access, and any paid tool will have its own terms and pricing presented before purchase.

9. Intellectual property (ours)

The Platform, including its name, the Torross marks, design, software, and content we create, is owned by us or our licensors and protected by law. We grant you a limited, revocable, non-transferable, non-sublicensable license to use the Platform for your personal, non-commercial community participation, subject to these Terms.

10. Termination and red-line enforcement

10.1 By you. You may stop using the Platform and request account deletion at any time via support@obsidianclub.online or in-product controls.

10.2 By us — ordinary. We may suspend or terminate your account or access, in whole or part, at our discretion, with or without notice, including for violation of these Terms or the Code of Conduct, or to protect the community, comply with law, or respond to risk.

10.3 Red-line violations — immediate termination without appeal. Certain violations — including any content or conduct sexualizing a minor, non-consensual sexual content, serious breaches of consent, doxxing, off-Platform leaking of members' content, and reselling or sharing access — are red lines. Upon a red-line determination, we may immediately and permanently terminate your membership without prior notice, cure period, refund, or appeal, and may take protective steps including preserving and, where required by law, reporting the matter to authorities. We exercise this as a matter of discretion and community safety, not as an adjudication of legal guilt.

10.4 Effect. On termination, your license to use the Platform ends. Sections that by their nature should survive (including Sections 5.4 last sentence, 11–17) survive termination.

11. Disclaimers

THE PLATFORM AND ALL CONTENT ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE PLATFORM WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE, OR THAT WE WILL REVIEW OR REMOVE ANY PARTICULAR CONTENT. WE DO NOT VET, ENDORSE, OR GUARANTEE ANY MEMBER, AND WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR MEMBERS' CONDUCT, ON OR OFF THE PLATFORM. YOU INTERACT WITH OTHER MEMBERS AT YOUR OWN RISK.

12. Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE AND OUR OFFICERS, MEMBERS, EMPLOYEES, AND SERVICE PROVIDERS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST PROFITS, DATA, GOODWILL, OR REPUTATION, ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THE PLATFORM OR THESE TERMS, UNDER ANY THEORY. OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (a) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US, IF ANY, IN THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT, OR (b) US $100. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW CERTAIN LIMITATIONS, SO SOME OF THE ABOVE MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

13. Indemnification

You will indemnify and hold us harmless from claims, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from your User Content, your use of the Platform, your violation of these Terms or the Code of Conduct, or your violation of any law or third-party right.

14. Dispute resolution; binding arbitration; class-action waiver

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO SUE IN COURT AND TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.

14.1 Informal resolution first. Before starting arbitration, you agree to contact us at support@obsidianclub.online and try in good faith to resolve the dispute for at least 60 days.

14.2 Binding arbitration. Except as carved out below, any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Platform will be resolved by final, binding arbitration administered by [arbitration administrator — to be designated by counsel] under its consumer arbitration rules, before a single arbitrator, seated in [county — to be designated by counsel], California (or by video/telephone at your election). The Federal Arbitration Act governs this Section.

14.3 Class-action waiver. You and we agree to bring claims only in an individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any class, collective, consolidated, or representative proceeding. The arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims.

14.4 Carve-outs. Either party may bring an individual claim in small-claims court, and either party may seek injunctive or equitable relief in court for infringement or misuse of intellectual property or for violations of the anti-leak and red-line provisions. Nothing in this Section waives any right to public injunctive relief that cannot be waived under California law (e.g., the *McGill* rule), which is preserved and may be sought in court.

14.5 Opt-out. You may opt out of this arbitration agreement by emailing support@obsidianclub.online within 30 days of first accepting these Terms, stating your name and that you opt out of arbitration. Opting out does not affect the rest of these Terms.

14.6 Severability of this Section. If the class-action waiver is found unenforceable as to a particular claim, that claim will proceed in court, but the rest of this Section still applies to all other claims.

15. Governing law and venue

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California and applicable U.S. federal law, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules. For any matter not subject to arbitration, the state and federal courts located in [county — to be designated by counsel], California have exclusive jurisdiction, and you consent to that venue.

16. Changes to the Terms

We may update these Terms. If we make material changes, we will provide notice (e.g., by email or in-product) and update the "Last updated" date. Changes are effective when posted or on the stated effective date. Continued use after changes means you accept them; if you do not agree, stop using the Platform. For changes to the arbitration Section, you may reject them within 30 days as described in 14.5.

17. General

17.1 Entire agreement. These Terms, the Privacy Policy, the Acceptable Use Policy, and the Code of Conduct are the entire agreement between you and us about the Platform.

17.2 Severability. If any provision is unenforceable, it is modified to the minimum extent necessary or severed, and the rest remains in effect.

17.3 No waiver. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver.

17.4 Assignment. You may not assign these Terms; we may assign them to an affiliate or successor.

17.5 Force majeure. We are not liable for delays or failures beyond our reasonable control.
