(1) Entry is for adults only.
You must be legally considered an adult in your community in order to be permitted
to view anything on this site. You are responsible for being aware of the laws and
community standards of the place you reside and you affirm that in visiting our site
you are not violating any of the laws or community standards of the place you reside.
In most places, this means you must be over age eighteen, but it may be twenty-one
depending on location.
(2) We are always available for customer service.
You can always e-mail info@gothicsluts.com with any
concern and we will try to address it as quickly and as helpfully as possible. We are all addicted
to our internet connections, so most responses will be very speedy. For billing help
only, you will get the most efficient and fastest assistance by visiting
our billing
link or e-mailing support@ccbill.com or
calling (888)596-9279 between 9am and 5pm Pacific time.
(3) Your feedback is vital to us.
We do this because we want people to see our work and because we really care about what we do.
We did print publishing for many years, overcoming gigantic obstacles, but the internet has
provided us with an incredible venue to get our work out to the world without too many weird
businessman intermediaries who do not understand our scene. If there is anything in particular
in terms of specific girls or specific activities or specific fashions or any at all you would
like to see us add to the site, we love getting feedback. Members, please vote in the poll as
well because we really pay attention to which girls you tell us are your favorites.
(4) You may cancel your membership at any time.
You may cancel rebilling on your subscription at any time
by clicking here or
e-mailing info@gothicsluts.com with your name and username.
Please give us any constructive criticism you might have on what you would like us to add to the
site. We are always growing.
(5) Our billing company has strict fraud prevention systems in place.
We can sometimes intervene on your behalf with our billing company and they can sometimes
intervene with the bank on your behalf. But the bank has the final say. Most of our surfers
are honest and part of our scene, so this will not apply to almost anyone surfing this site,
but it is always good for people to be aware of policies. Our billing company asks that you
"please note that trying to deny a valid charge through your bank or credit card company is
fraudulent and is illegal. When we receive such disputes, this is our standard dispute
policy: 1. If you try to dispute or deny a valid charge, your credit card or checking
account along with your name and address will immediately be added to a negative database.
The negative database is shared by thousands of merchants on the internet, both large and
small, and you will not be able to purchase goods or services from said merchants in the
future. 2. If you try to dispute or deny a valid charge, you will be sent an invoice for
the disputed amount by regular postal mail. Copies will also be sent to your bank and
credit card company. The invoice will include the following information: The name of
the site you paid to access, your IP address when you signed up, the day and time of
your signup, original charge amount plus a $25 fee for dispute processing. 3. If you
do not pay the invoice within 30 days, a second invoice will be sent. The second invoice
will include the following information: Access logs detailing when you accessed the
site in question and what ISP you used to do so. Examples of any files and/or pictures
and/or video captures of any information you downloaded from the site after gaining
your username and password. 4.If the second invoice is not paid within 30 days, your
file will be forwarded to one of the 17 collection agencies that we work with on all
five continents. To avoid any of the above, we encourage you to contact us first for
any problems with your membership purchase. We have an excellent track record in
resolving any problems to see that you are fully satisfied with your purchase."
Our billing folks are really very nice. Their strictness keeps prices down for you.
(6) You may not share your password with others.
If too many people log into your account with your password, our robot will shut off your
username automatically. For technical reasons we don't really follow, our robot also shuts
off any account attempting to surf with safeweb or related services. You will not be able
to access the whole of this site using such a service. If it appears that you were a victim
of hacking or related activities, you will be given the opportunity of course to choose a
new password. If it appears that you are responsible for abuse of your account, your
username may be terminated without refund and your name, credit card information, and
other identifying particulars may be placed in a negative database shared by thousands
of web sites. This is to prevent people who are bad risks from making online purchases.
Keeping people like that out keeps costs down and gets better service for the rest of us.
Please keep in mind that this site supports the creation of Gothic erotica. Password
sharing strains our server and makes downloads slower for everyone and it costs money
which goes to website hosting rather than the creation of more art.
(7) Everything here is copyrighted.
All images, text, design elements, and other creative material on this site is copyrighted
and may not be reproduced or redistributed in any way, in any form, in any media without
explicit written permission from Amelia G or Forrest Black. In the case of a few images
shot by other photographers or stories by other writers, the photographer or writer may
have the right to grant additional license to publish his or her work. Models and third
parties may not grant reprint rights under any circumstances. We are sorry this means
that you are not permitted to archive any material from this site. It is a shame there
is no way for a browser to detect jerks vs. cool people and allow the cool people to
download to their hearts' content. As artists, the whole issue of what to do about
having people save the images is one which actually pains us greatly. If someone
buys a membership to one of our sites, as artists we want them to download the
pictures to their hard drive, make screensavers, make wallpaper, print 'em out
and put them on the refrigerator. Shooting for print publications, we love it
when we go to someone's home and they have cut out a picture we took and used it to
decorate. As artists and as part of the Gothic community, it is really important to
us that we get credit for our work. In print, this has not been a problem. Online,
however, it has been amazingly frustrating. People have cropped off our copyright
info and claimed they took the pictures we took and asked interested models to mail
them nude pictures and to tell them where they live. There are a couple of jerks who
produce nothing, who run software programs which download all the images from a
newsgroup without the attached messages and conversation which make the newsgroup
a community, and then they either put the pictures up on pay sites or they use
them on sites which sell disgusting lolita porn or both. We hope that someday soon
there will be better ways to protect one's creations from thieves without having to
make it harder for everyone. If it were easier to get an ISP or a billing company
to shut down a thieving pay site without going to court . . . if webmasters who
steal were not so disagreeable about removing images when asked . . . if people
did not believe that modern pictures could be public domain when there is no such
thing as a color picture in the public domain . . . Color photography has not been
around long enough for any color images to be in the public domain. Well, we hope
for a simpler future, but for now we ask that you leave what you see on this site
on this site. Thanks for your support.
(8) This site is not responsible for the content of sites it links to.
While of course we can not control or in any way be responsible what other
webmasters do, if you feel we are ever linked to a site we should not be,
please e-mail us at info@gothicsluts.com and
express your concerns. We care about your opinions.
(9) This site is in the legal jurisdiction of Los Angeles, California in the USA.
Any legal issue pertaining to this site shall have Los Angeles as the venue. But let's
play nice and not have that anyway.
(10) You may not enter this site with any malicious intent.
Enough said. Go have fun now. Thanks for supporting us
and being a patron of the arts.
