18 U.S.C. § 2257 Compliance — Night Protocol LLC
Part I — 18 U.S.C. § 2257 Record-Keeping Compliance Statement
1. Compliance Statement
Night Protocol LLC, operator of the domains listed at the end of this document (the "Platform"), is committed to full compliance with 18 U.S.C. § 2257 and 28 C.F.R. Part 75 (collectively, the "Act"). The Act requires that producers of visual depictions of actual sexually explicit conduct maintain certain age-verification and identification records for all performers depicted.
All visual depictions displayed on this Platform of actual sexually explicit conduct, simulated sexual conduct, or other content as defined in 18 U.S.C. § 2256(2) were produced by persons or entities other than Night Protocol LLC ("Secondary Producer"). Night Protocol LLC functions as a secondary producer under the Act in connection with such content.
2. Age Verification
Every performer depicted in sexually explicit content on this Platform was, at the time such visual depictions were produced, at least 18 years of age. Night Protocol LLC does not knowingly permit or host content depicting individuals under the age of 18 in any sexual context.
The Company has a zero-tolerance policy for any such content and will immediately remove and report any content suspected of depicting minors to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) CyberTipline and relevant law enforcement agencies, as required by 18 U.S.C. § 2258A.
3. Records Custodian
In accordance with 18 U.S.C. § 2257 and 28 C.F.R. § 75.2, records required under the Act are maintained by the Company's designated third-party records custodian.
The records custodian is responsible for inspecting, maintaining, and making available for inspection all required records as prescribed by 28 C.F.R. Part 75. Records are available for inspection during normal business hours upon proper request made pursuant to 28 C.F.R. § 75.5.
4. Content Produced by Users
Certain content on this Platform is submitted by registered users who, in their capacity as primary producers, are independently responsible for compliance with the Act. Night Protocol LLC, as a secondary producer, requires that all users who submit sexually explicit content represent and warrant that:
- All performers depicted are at least 18 years of age
- Primary producers have obtained and maintain records in full compliance with 18 U.S.C. § 2257 and 28 C.F.R. Part 75
- Such records are available for inspection upon lawful request
- All content complies with applicable federal and state law
Users who submit sexually explicit content are required to provide required identification documentation to the Company's designated records custodian as a condition of uploading such content. Failure to comply will result in content removal and account termination.
5. Operator Exemption
To the extent Night Protocol LLC qualifies as an "Internet content hosting provider" or falls within any safe harbor or exemption under 18 U.S.C. § 2257A or applicable regulations with respect to user-submitted content, the Company asserts and reserves all such exemptions. Nothing in this Statement waives or limits the Company's eligibility for any applicable exemption.
6. Reporting Suspected Minor Exploitation
Any person who becomes aware of content on the Platform that may depict a minor in a sexual context is encouraged to report it immediately through the Platform's reporting tools or by contacting us directly. The Company will review all such reports promptly and report credible violations to NCMEC's CyberTipline at www.missingkids.org.
