9. Agreement to View Adult Material. The Website and Service are designed and intended SOLELY for ADULTS -- people who are at least 18 years old (or the legal age of majority in the jurisdiction in which they reside) -- who are interested in and wish to have access to visual images, verbal descriptions and audio sounds of a sexually-oriented, frankly erotic nature. The materials which are available within the Website may include graphic visual depictions and descriptions of nudity and sexual activity and should NOT be accessed by anyone who is younger than 18 years old (or the age of legal majority in the jurisdiction in which You reside) or who does not wish to be exposed to such materials. By accessing the Website, You are making and agreeing to the following statements: "Under penalty of perjury, I swear/affirm that as of this moment, I am an adult, at least 18 years of age (or the age of legal majority in the jurisdiction in which I reside). I promise that I will not permit any person(s) under 18 years of age (or the age of legal majority in the jurisdiction in which I reside) to have access to any of the materials contained within this Website. "I understand that when I gain access to this Website, I will be exposed to visual images, verbal descriptions and audio sounds of a sexually oriented, frankly erotic nature, which may include graphic visual depictions and descriptions of nudity and sexual activity. I am voluntarily choosing to do so, because I want to view, read and/or hear the various materials which are available, for my own personal enjoyment, information and/or education. My choice is a manifestation of my interest in sexual matters, which is both healthy and normal and, which, in my experience, is generally shared by average adults in my community. I am familiar with the standards in my community regarding the acceptance of such sexually-oriented materials, and the materials I expect to encounter are within those standards. In my judgment, the average adult in my community accepts the consumption of such materials by willing adults in circumstances such as those provided by this Website, which offer reasonable insulation of the materials from access by minors and unwilling adults, and will not find such materials to appeal to a prurient interest or to be patently offensive."
10. Truthfulness of Information Provided. You hereby represent and warrant that any and all information provided in obtaining a User ID is complete, truthful and accurate.
11. Prohibited Actions.
