Terms of Service

Welcome to Domainless ("the Platform"). By creating an account or using the Platform, you agree to these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree, do not use the Platform.

1. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old to use Domainless. By creating an account, you confirm that you are 18 or older. Domainless is not directed at or intended for use by anyone under the age of 18.

2. Your Account

You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account credentials. You must not share your password or allow others to access your account. You are responsible for all activity that occurs under your account.

You agree to provide accurate information during registration. We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that use false information or violate these Terms.

3. User Content

You retain ownership of content you post on Domainless, including posts, comments, images, and messages. By posting content, you grant Domainless a non-exclusive, worldwide license to display, distribute, and store your content as necessary to operate the Platform.

You are solely responsible for the content you post. You agree not to post content that:

• Is illegal, threatening, defamatory, or harassing
• Infringes on the intellectual property rights of others
• Contains malware, spam, or deceptive links
• Depicts or promotes violence, self-harm, or exploitation of minors
• Impersonates another person or entity

We reserve the right to remove content that violates these Terms and to suspend or ban accounts that repeatedly violate them.

4. End-to-End Encryption

Direct messages between users and friends-only posts are protected by end-to-end encryption (E2EE). This means:

• Domainless cannot read the content of encrypted messages or friends-only posts
• Encryption keys are generated and stored locally on your device
• If you lose your encryption keys (e.g., by clearing browser data), encrypted messages cannot be recovered — not by you, and not by us
• We cannot comply with requests to produce the plaintext of encrypted content, as we do not have access to it

Public posts and follower-only posts are not encrypted and are stored on our servers in readable form.

5. Money on Domainless: USD only via /wallet

Domainless uses U.S. dollars exclusively. We do not issue, sell, or operate any virtual currency, token, or in-platform points system. Earlier "Coins" / "Dev Coins" mechanics have been retired.

• Customization items (themes, badges, borders, post styles, name colors) are free. Claim any item from the Customization Library on your account page.
• Tipping is performed at /wallet using real USD via Stripe-backed escrow. The recipient's connected bank account receives the tip on the schedule they pick (default 7-day release). We do not take a platform cut on tips. Stripe processing fees (≈2.9% + 30¢) are deducted before payout.
• Creator royalties are paid in U.S. dollars based on video views and music plays at the rate published in your creator dashboard. Withdrawals go to your connected bank via Stripe Connect, subject to the Creator Program terms in Section 6.

Payment processing is handled by Stripe. Stripe — not Domainless — is the holder of record for any funds in transit. Your payment information is never stored on Domainless servers. Stripe's terms of service apply to all transactions.

We are not a bank. /wallet is financial-transfer software. Funds in escrow are held by Stripe pending release per the agreed schedule.

6. Creator Program and Cashout

Users who have explicitly activated a creator account ("Creators") accrue earnings in a USD balance and may withdraw that USD balance to a bank account via Stripe Connect. The Creator Program has the following rules:

• Activation is required. The USD balance cannot be withdrawn unless the user has activated a Creator account and explicitly agreed to the Creator Guidelines. Activation is one-tap and free.
• Stripe Connect verification is required. Cashout requires completing Stripe Connect identity verification (legal name, tax identifier, bank account). Identity and banking information goes directly to Stripe; Domainless only stores the resulting Stripe account ID.
• Minimum cashout. The minimum withdrawal amount is $10.00 USD.
• Platform fee. A 10% platform fee is deducted from each cashout before the transfer to Stripe. Stripe's standard processing fee (~2-3%) applies to the transfer itself.
• Royalties. Creators earn $0.50 per 1,000 views on video posts and $0.50 per 1,000 plays on music posts, calculated and paid weekly directly into the USD balance. Weekly royalty cap: $100 per creator. Royalty rates and caps are subject to change.
• Tips. When a user sends a tip via /wallet, the recipient receives the equivalent value in their USD balance at the fixed rate in real USD via Stripe-backed escrow. The funds are held until the recipient recipient's USD balance is credited. There is no platform cut on tips — the platform fee applies only at cashout time.
• Irreversibility. Cashout is a one-way operation. Once withdrawn to Stripe, funds cannot be returned to the USD balance or reversed once cleared. Tips sent via /wallet are likewise non-recoverable.
• Tax responsibility. Creators are solely responsible for reporting cashout income to their local tax authority. Domainless does not provide tax advice. Stripe may issue tax forms (e.g., 1099-K for US creators) in accordance with applicable law.

7. Creator Guidelines

By activating a Creator account, you agree to the following Guidelines. Violations may result in post removal, Creator status revocation, payout forfeiture, and/or account suspension.

• Sponsorship limit. Creators may include at most one sponsor per video or post, and the sponsorship segment (branded content, paid promotion, product placement, or sponsored mention) must not exceed 10 seconds total per piece of content. This applies to all content posted to domainless.fun, stream.domainless.fun, and any cross-posted content.
• No illegal, hateful, or violent content. Content that violates applicable law or Domainless's content policies (including but not limited to incitement, targeted harassment, CSAM, or credible threats) is prohibited.
• Rights to content. You must own the rights to content you post, or have explicit permission from the rights holder. Copyright infringement may result in content removal and account termination.
• No artificial inflation. Using bots, click farms, or coordinated inauthentic behavior to inflate views, plays, tips, or any metric is prohibited and will result in forfeiture of earnings and loss of Creator status.
• Accurate representation. Creator profiles, sponsorship disclosures, and paid promotions must accurately represent the creator and the sponsored brand. False advertising, impersonation, or deceptive sponsorships are prohibited.

8. Invite System

Users may generate invite codes to share with others. When an invited user joins, the inviter receives platform credit. Abuse of the invite system (creating fake accounts, automated signups) will result in account suspension and forfeiture of earnings.

9. Friends, Followers, and Blocking

Domainless supports two types of social connections: friends (mutual, requiring acceptance) and followers (one-directional). You can control who sees your content using post visibility settings (Public, Followers, Friends Only).

You may block any user at any time. Blocking removes all social connections and prevents the blocked user from viewing your content, messaging you, or appearing in your feeds. Blocked users are not notified of the block.

10. Reporting and Moderation

Users can report content or other users that violate these Terms. We review reports and may take action including content removal, warnings, temporary suspension, or permanent bans. We are not obligated to explain moderation decisions in detail.

11. Intellectual Property

The Domainless platform, including its design, code, branding, and features, is the property of J&G Studios. You may not copy, modify, distribute, or reverse-engineer any part of the Platform without written permission.

12. Limitation of Liability

Domainless is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind. We are not liable for:

• Loss of data, including encrypted content that becomes unrecoverable due to lost keys
• Content posted by other users
• Service interruptions, bugs, or security vulnerabilities
• Any damages arising from your use of the Platform

13. Account Termination

You may delete your account at any time by contacting us. We may terminate or suspend your account for violations of these Terms. Upon termination, your public content may be retained in anonymized form, but your personal data will be deleted within 30 days.

14. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms at any time. If changes are material, we will notify users via the Platform. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.

15. Contact

For questions about these Terms, contact us at the email associated with J&G Studios or through the Platform's reporting system.
