Master Terms of Service
Effective Date: August 2026 · Last Updated: October 20, 2026 · Version 2026.7
PLEASE READ THESE TERMS OF SERVICE CAREFULLY. THEY CONTAIN A MANDATORY INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION AGREEMENT AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER THAT GOVERN ANY DISPUTES BETWEEN YOU AND TOOTSIETRADER.
1. Acceptance of Terms & Eligibility (18+ Requirement)
This Master Terms of Service ("Agreement") constitutes a legally binding contract between you ("User", "Buyer", "Creator", or "You") and TootsieTrader ("Platform", "We", "Us", or "Our"). By creating an account, browsing, purchasing, listing content, or interacting with TootsieTrader, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agreed to be bound by this Agreement.
2. Platform Role & Safe Harbor (Section 230 Notice)
TootsieTrader operates exclusively as an online interactive software venue, communications facility, and marketplace platform connecting independent, third-party content creators and vendors ("Creators") with prospective adult purchasers ("Buyers").
Pursuant to the Communications Decency Act (47 U.S.C. § 230), TootsieTrader acts solely as an intermediary and interactive computer service provider. TootsieTrader is not an employer, broker, agent, manufacturer, distributor, carrier, or retailer of any user-uploaded digital media offered by Creators. The one exception is payment: TootsieTrader accepts payment from Buyers as each Creator's limited payment collection agent, exactly as described in Section 7.I, and for no other purpose. All listings, photos, videos, descriptions, and communications represent the sole expression and responsibility of the respective Creator.
3. Digital Content & Delivery
A. Digital only: Everything sold on TootsieTrader is digital: posts, photo sets, videos, paid messages, custom content and tips. The Platform does not sell or ship physical goods and never asks for a mailing address.
B. Creator statements: Descriptions, previews, photo counts and clip lengths are the Creator's own statements. The Platform does not guarantee them except as set out in Section 3.2.
C. Personal use only: Content you buy is licensed to you for private, personal viewing. You may not copy, download for sharing, resell, post, or redistribute it, and you may not use it to identify, contact off the Platform, or locate a Creator.
D. Messages are kept for 90 days: Messages, including paid messages and custom deliveries in chat, are deleted 90 days after they are sent. Creators may also remove their own posts. Removed or expired content is not refunded except under Section 3.2.
3.2. Order Problems & Order Requests
A. Scope. This section covers custom orders paid for through the Platform where the content was not delivered by the agreed deadline, or is not what the accepted offer said (for example, fewer photos, a shorter clip, or different content). The Buyer and the Creator resolve these first between themselves through an order request on the order card. The Platform reviews a request only if they cannot agree (Section 3.2.E). Seller payouts settle the moment payment clears. The Platform never holds funds, never pays refunds, and is not the seller of any content. Nothing in this section is a warranty, guarantee, or insurance.
B. Opening a request. The Buyer opens a request from the order card within 14 days after the delivery deadline, or within 14 days after the content was delivered. After that, the order is treated as delivered as agreed. The Buyer picks a reason and asks for one fix: the content delivered or redone, a full refund of the price, or a partial refund in US Dollars. The Processing Fee is not refundable.
C. Working it out. The Creator has 72 hours to accept, make a counter-offer, or decline with a written reason. Both sides can message and make offers in the request thread. A fix is agreed when one side accepts the other side's latest offer.
D. Doing the agreed fix. Deliver or redo: the Creator delivers the content in the order chat within 5 days. Refund: the Buyer enters a Cash App $cashtag or payout handle, and the Creator pays the agreed amount, plus the standard Processing Fee on that payment, directly to the Buyer through the Platform's checkout within 48 hours. The money goes from the Creator straight to the Buyer.
E. Platform review. Either side can ask the Platform to step in if the Creator declines, if no fix is agreed within 72 hours, or if an agreed fix is late. A request moves to the Platform automatically if the Creator does not answer within 72 hours or misses an agreed deadline. We review the request thread, the files delivered on the order, the accepted offer, the order chat, and any evidence submitted, and we aim to decide within 3 business days. We either uphold the request, which records a strike against the Creator (an "Upheld Claim"), or dismiss it. We record each decision with a written note. Our decision is final and subject to Section 12 (arbitration).
F. When we uphold. Typically: (1) the Creator did not deliver by the deadline; (2) the delivered content clearly does not match the accepted offer; or (3) the Creator agreed to a fix and did not complete it by the deadline. Change of mind, and content that matches the offer, are generally not upheld, though the Buyer and Creator may still agree on a fix.
G. Creator duties and consequences. Deliver by the deadline, exactly as the offer described. Answer order requests within 72 hours and complete any agreed fix on time. Two Upheld Claims pause the Creator's selling until the Platform reviews the account. Delivering stolen, reused, or misleading content is grounds for removal.
H. Limits. Once a Creator has been paid, the Platform cannot take money back from the Creator or send it back to the Buyer. An Upheld Claim and the resulting Creator strike are the Buyer's only remedy from the Platform. Any refund comes from the Creator. Apart from its duties as the Creator's payment agent in Section 7.I, the Platform has no payment liability for any order.
4. Creator Representations, Warranties & Age Compliance
Creators must also accept the Creator Agreement before listing or selling anything. It applies on top of these Terms. If the two conflict on a selling matter, the Creator Agreement controls. Each Creator who registers or publishes media on TootsieTrader represents, warrants, and covenants that:
- Creator is at least 18 years of age and has submitted authentic, unaltered government-issued photo identification verified by the Platform.
- Creator is the sole, exclusive legal owner and copyright holder of all visual depictions, photographs, audio recordings, and text published on Creator's account.
- All individuals depicted in Creator's content were at least 18 years of age at the time of creation, participated with full legal consent, and have executed written model releases in compliance with 18 U.S.C. § 2257.
- Creator's content, descriptions, and communications comply with all applicable laws and regulations.
5. Intellectual Property, Universal Promotional License & Global Multi-Platform Marketing Rights
Creators retain proprietary copyright ownership of their original content. However, to enable TootsieTrader to operate, broadcast, market, advertise, and direct commercial buyer traffic to Creator listings and the Platform worldwide:
A. UNIVERSAL GLOBAL PROMOTIONAL LICENSE GRANT: By publishing, posting, uploading, or displaying any public listing, product photograph, Media Vault showcase image, public feed post, preview video, biography, banner, or public profile asset on TootsieTrader, Creator hereby grants TootsieTrader an irrevocable, perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive, fully paid-up, royalty-free, transferable, and sublicensable license to use, reproduce, modify, crop, resize, adapt, blur, censor, composite, watermark, color-correct, create teaser previews of, combine with typography or graphic overlays, publish, publicly display, distribute, broadcast, and promote such public materials globally across any and all media channels, platforms, technologies, and formats now known or hereafter devised in perpetuity.
B. MULTI-PLATFORM & AUTOMATED MARKETING BROADCASTING: This universal marketing license expressly authorizes TootsieTrader to feature public Creator assets across all third-party global digital channels, including but not limited to:
- Social Media & Broadcast Platforms: X / Twitter, Reddit, Bluesky, and similar platforms.
- Automated & Algorithmic Marketing Engines: Automated social posting bots, daily scheduled product drop broadcasts, weekly creator spotlights, algorithmic recommendation feeds, high-resolution teaser marketing cards, and promotional sales banners.
- Search, Indexing & Advertising: Search engine rich snippet previews, digital ad networks, promotional email newsletters, push notifications, press releases, and affiliate distribution networks.
C. ABSOLUTE EXCLUSION OF PRIVATE / PAYWALLED ASSETS: The promotional marketing license above strictly excludes private pay-per-view (PPV) paid or locked Media Vault content, private 1-on-1 direct message attachments, and custom media deliverables. Private paid media remains 100% confidential between the Creator and the authorized recipient and shall never be utilized for public advertising or external marketing without Creator's express, prior written authorization.
6. Prohibited Content & Zero-Tolerance Safety Violations
TootsieTrader maintains a strict zero-tolerance policy against unlawful and harmful material. The following are strictly prohibited:
- Any content involving, depicting, or referencing minors (CSAM / CSAS) or age-play.
- Non-consensual content, revenge pornography, voyeurism, blackmail, or sexual extortion.
- Depictions of real violence, human trafficking, non-consensual sexual abuse, or bestiality.
- Unauthorized disclosure of personally identifiable information (doxxing).
- Solicitation of in-person commercial sexual services or illegal contraband.
Any violation will result in immediate permanent account termination, forfeiture of any gifts in the account, and immediate criminal referral to law enforcement authorities, including NCMEC and federal agencies.
7. Financial Architecture, Non-Custodial Lightning Settlement & Zero Commission
A. Direct Pricing in US Dollars: Every price on the Platform is shown in US Dollars and paid per purchase at one checkout: Cash App or any Lightning payment app (open the app, scan the code, confirm). The Platform does not sell, issue, or hold any virtual currency, coins, wallet, stored balance, or prepaid credit for Buyers or Creators. Gifts bought in the Gift Shop are collectibles, not stored value (Section 7.H). Completed payments are final and non-refundable, subject only to Section 3.2.
B. Zero Creator Commission & Buyer Processing Fee: TootsieTrader charges Creators 0% commission and no monthly fee. Creators keep 100% of their listing price, custom offer price, and tips. The Buyer pays a processing fee at checkout, shown before payment, equal to 10% of the first $50.00 of the item amount plus 3% of any amount above $50.00, each part rounded to the nearest cent. Digital items, tips, and Creator-paid refunds carry a minimum fee of $0.25. No order carries a fee above $49.99. Platform items (boosts, buyer passes, and Gift Shop gifts) carry no processing fee. The Processing Fee is not refundable.
C. Non-Custodial Architecture & Point-of-Sale Lightning Settlement: TootsieTrader is strictly a non-custodial software platform. The Platform never holds custody of creator funds: there are zero rolling reserves, zero withdrawal minimums, and zero delayed payout clearing queues. Every purchase (tips, PPV purchases, custom offers) is settled at point of sale and paid out immediately via outbound Bitcoin Lightning directly to the creator's verified Lightning address ([email protected], Strike, or any of 25+ other Lightning-enabled apps). Creators never hold a platform balance.
D. Exclusively Bitcoin Lightning Payments: The Platform never processes credit cards, debit cards, or traditional fiat merchant processors. Buyers pay exclusively via Bitcoin Lightning using Cash App, Strike, River, Wallet of Satoshi, Phoenix, Blink, or another supported mobile payment app. This protects against chargeback fraud, merchant holds, and processor freezes.
E. Commercial Marketplace Transactions: TootsieTrader operates strictly as a commercial software venue connecting independent buyers and creators for bona fide purchases of digital content packages, custom content, and tips. TootsieTrader does not operate as a bank, financial institution, money services business ("MSB"), or money transmitter. When it accepts a Buyer's payment, it does so only as the Creator's limited payment collection agent under Section 7.I.
G. Settlement Finality, Mandatory Handle Verification & Zero Re-Sends: All creator earnings and direct tips are settled at the point of sale via outbound Bitcoin Lightning payments sent to the creator's configured Cash App or Lightning payout handle. By configuring a payout handle and completing the live verification test, Creators explicitly acknowledge and agree that Lightning settlements are instantaneous, final, and irreversible once sent. TootsieTrader holds zero custody of creator earnings and is technically, structurally, and legally unable to cancel, reverse, claw back, retrieve, or re-send funds delivered to an incorrect, misspelled, unverified, or third-party handle provided by the Creator. Creators bear 100% sole responsibility for verifying the accuracy of their payout details. TootsieTrader disclaims all liability for misdirected funds resulting from creator input errors or account inaccuracies. An Upheld Claim under Section 3.2 does not reverse, recall, or delay any payout already sent to a Creator.
H. Gifts (Collectibles Only): Buyers can buy gifts from the Gift Shop in US Dollars with no processing fee. Bought gifts stay in the Buyer's collection until sent, and sending a gift to a Creator is free. Gifts are digital collectibles only. They have no cash value, are not refundable, cannot be cashed out, transferred for money, or used as payment for any item, tip, or service, and Creators are not paid from gifts. The Gift Hall of Fame ranks gifters and never shows dollar amounts. The Platform may retire or change gift designs at any time.
I. TootsieTrader Is the Creator's Limited Payment Collection Agent:
1. Who you buy from. When you buy content or a custom offer, or send a tip, you are dealing with that Creator, not with TootsieTrader. TootsieTrader is not a party to the agreement between you and the Creator. The Creator sets the price and is responsible for what they sell.
2. Appointment. Every Creator has appointed TootsieTrader, in writing in the Creator Agreement, as the Creator's limited payment collection agent, solely for the limited purpose of accepting payments from Buyers on the Creator's behalf and passing them to the Creator. TootsieTrader acts as the Creator's agent for that purpose only. When you pay at checkout, you are paying the Creator through TootsieTrader.
3. Your payment counts the moment we receive it. Your payment through TootsieTrader is the same as a payment made directly to the Creator. When your payment reaches TootsieTrader, your obligation to pay the Creator the agreed amount for that purchase is extinguished. The Creator has agreed not to ask you to pay again for any reason, including if TootsieTrader fails to pass your payment to the Creator. If that ever happens, the Creator's only recourse is against TootsieTrader, never against you. That risk is ours, never yours.
4. The order things happen in. When you scan the code and confirm in your payment app, TootsieTrader receives your payment for the Creator. We then pay the Creator's full price to the Creator's payout handle, usually within seconds, and release your purchase once the Creator is paid. If we cannot pay the Creator within a few minutes (for example, their payout handle stops answering or it is no longer available), the purchase is cancelled and we refund your full payment, including the processing fee. We email you to arrange the refund to your Cash App $cashtag or Lightning address, usually within 1 business day.
5. The processing fee is ours. The processing fee in Section 7.B is our charge for our service. It is not part of the Creator's price and is not collected on the Creator's behalf. The Creator receives their full listed price.
6. No balances. TootsieTrader does not keep balances for Buyers or Creators. Each payment is passed to the Creator inside the same checkout, within seconds. There are no wallets or stored credit.
7. Scope. This section covers every purchase and tip paid to a Creator through checkout. It does not cover Platform items (boosts, buyer passes, and Gift Shop gifts), which you buy from TootsieTrader directly. Nothing in Sections 9, 10, or 11 limits what this section says about when your payment counts as paid.
8. Limits of our role. Acting as the Creator's limited payment collection agent does not make TootsieTrader responsible for anything a Creator does or fails to do, including the quality, legality, or delivery of what they sell. TootsieTrader has no duties as the Creator's agent except those written in this Section 7.I and in the Creator Agreement. To the fullest extent the law allows, any other duties the law might otherwise imply are excluded.
9. Refunds work the same way in reverse. If a Creator agrees to refund you under Section 3.2, you appoint TootsieTrader as your limited payment collection agent, solely for the limited purpose of accepting that refund from the Creator on your behalf and passing it to the payout handle you enter. When the Creator's refund payment reaches TootsieTrader, the Creator's obligation to pay you that refund is extinguished, and your only recourse for that refund is against TootsieTrader, never against the Creator. We pass the refund to your handle within seconds. If your handle can't be paid, we contact you to send it another way.
8. DMCA Copyright Infringement & Takedown Policy (17 U.S.C. § 512)
TootsieTrader respects intellectual property rights and complies with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). If you believe your copyrighted work has been infringed on our Platform, submit a formal takedown notice to our Designated Copyright Agent at:
Notices must include identification of copyrighted work, URL location on the site, statement of good faith belief, contact details, and a statement under penalty of perjury. Repeat infringers will be permanently banned.
9. Disclaimer of Warranties ("AS IS" & "AS AVAILABLE")
TOOTSIETRADER AND ALL SERVICES, FEATURES, AND CONTENT ARE PROVIDED STRICTLY ON AN "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" BASIS WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, OR FREEDOM FROM COMPUTER VIRUSES OR SERVICE INTERRUPTIONS.
10. Limitation of Liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL TOOTSIETRADER, ITS OWNERS, OPERATORS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AFFILIATES, OR LICENSORS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES (INCLUDING LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, USE, GOODWILL, OR DISPUTES BETWEEN USERS) ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF THE PLATFORM. IN NO EVENT SHALL OUR AGGREGATE LIABILITY EXCEED THE GREATER OF ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS ($100.00 USD) OR THE FEES PAID BY YOU TO TOOTSIETRADER IN THE PRECEDING THREE (3) MONTHS.
11. Comprehensive Indemnification & Hold Harmless
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless TootsieTrader, its parent entities, subsidiaries, officers, directors, members, managers, employees, agents, and successors from and against any and all claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, expenses, or fees (including reasonable attorneys' fees and court costs) arising from: (a) your use of the Platform; (b) any content uploaded, listed, or sold by you; (c) your violation of this Agreement; (d) your violation of any third-party rights (including copyright, trademark, privacy, or publicity rights); or (e) any conduct or offline interactions between you and any other user.
12. Mandatory Binding Individual Arbitration & Class Action Waiver
A. BINDING ARBITRATION: Any dispute, controversy, or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement or your use of the Platform shall be resolved exclusively through final and binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") or JAMS under its applicable Consumer Arbitration Rules.
B. CLASS ACTION WAIVER: YOU AND TOOTSIETRADER MUTUALLY AGREE THAT ALL CLAIMS MUST BE BROUGHT IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS ACTION, COLLECTIVE ACTION, REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING, OR PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION.
C. JURY TRIAL WAIVER: BOTH PARTIES VOLUNTARILY AND EXPRESSLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL IN ANY PROCEEDING.
13. Governing Law, Venue & Severability
This Agreement is governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the United States of America without regard to conflict of law principles. If any provision of this Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable, such provision shall be severed and the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.
