Acceptable Use Policy

This policy governs your use of No Strings Dating. It forms part of our Terms of Use and applies to every user, paid or free. It incorporates our Content Policy (what may be uploaded), our Community Guidelines, our Child Safety Standards, and our Anti-Trafficking, Exploitation and Abuse Statement.

Breach may result in content removal, feature restriction, mandatory identity verification, suspension, or permanent termination without refund, and may be reported to law enforcement.

1. Age

You must be at least 21 to create an account. Members who joined aged 18 to 20 before the minimum age was raised may keep using the Service, and nobody under 18, or under the age of majority where it is higher, may use any part of it. You must not create an account for a person under 18, allow one to use your account, or upload content depicting a person under 18 in any sexual or suggestive context. We remove accounts we reasonably believe belong to minors and may require identity verification at any time. See Child Safety Standards.

2. Illegal acts

You must not use the Service to commit, plan, facilitate, promote or assist any act illegal under the laws of the United Kingdom or of any jurisdiction where you or the people you interact with are located, including:

• human trafficking, forced labour and modern slavery;
• sexual exploitation, prostitution and escorting;
• child sexual exploitation and abuse, including CSAM and grooming;
• sexual violence and sexual assault;
• fraud, money laundering, identity theft, extortion and blackmail;
• supply of controlled drugs or weapons;
• harassment, stalking, coercive control, threats of violence and hate crime;
• unauthorised access to computer systems and distribution of malware.

Our position on trafficking, exploitation and abuse is set out in full in our Anti-Trafficking, Exploitation and Abuse Statement.

3. Prohibited content

Rules on images and uploaded media are set out in full in our Content Policy. Rules on sexual violence and non-consensual imagery are set out in our Anti-Trafficking, Exploitation and Abuse Statement. In addition, you must not upload, send, display or link to content that:

• Depicts or promotes human trafficking, sexual exploitation, or the sale of sexual services or paid companionship.
• Depicts any identifiable person who has not consented to appear in it.
• Advertises goods or services, solicits investment, or promotes any commercial venture.
• Contains another person’s private information.

3A. Sexual content

No Strings Dating is an adult site, and adult content between consenting adults is allowed within our Content Policy. You must not upload, post, send, display, link to or request sexual content that:

• involves, depicts or appears to depict anyone under 18, in any form, real, simulated, drawn or generated;
• shows anyone who has not agreed to appear in it and to it being shared on the Service, or was made or shared without consent;
• appears in your username or anywhere outside signed-in members' areas;
• is sent to a member who has not made clear they want it;
• is offered, sold or exchanged for money, gifts or any other benefit, or promotes webcam shows, paid content or any commercial sexual service;
• shows or encourages sexual violence, coercion, bestiality or incest.

Consent between the people involved does not make content allowed if it breaks any of these rules.

4. Prohibited behaviour

You must not:

• Misrepresent your identity, age, photographs, location, marital status or intentions.
• Use photographs of another person, or images you have no right to use.
• Operate more than one account, or create a new account after a previous one was terminated.
• Solicit money, gifts, cryptocurrency, investment, financial account details, gift card codes or payment credentials from any other user, for any reason.
• Move a conversation off the Service at an early stage for financial gain, or direct users to external payment, investment, webcam or content-subscription services.
• Advertise or solicit sexual services, escort services or paid companionship.
• Harass, threaten, intimidate or repeatedly contact a user who has indicated they do not wish to be contacted.
• Send sexual content or sexually explicit messages to a member who has not made clear they want them, or keep sending them after they say no.
• Use bots, scrapers or automated tools to access, collect from or interact with the Service or its users.
• Circumvent a suspension, ban or block.

5. Romance fraud

Romance fraud is a criminal offence and we treat it as one. If another user asks you for money, cryptocurrency, gift cards, bank or card details, or asks you to receive or forward funds, do not comply. Report it using the report function on their profile or conversation, or through our Contact Page under "Reporting Misuse or illegal behaviour". We never ask users to send money to another user and we never ask for your password.

6. Reporting and enforcement

Every profile and conversation carries a report function. You can also use our Contact Page, or email support@nostringsdating.net.

We may remove content, restrict features, require identity verification, suspend or permanently terminate accounts without refund, retain and disclose data to law enforcement, and report to the relevant authorities. Where content involves the sexual exploitation or abuse of a child we preserve evidence and report it to the authorities in the member's country, as set out in our Law Enforcement Policy. When we remove content or restrict an account, we tell you why. You can ask us to review a decision to remove content or close your account through our Complaints page, except where the law stops us from discussing it.
