Effective date: January 1, 2026  ·  Last updated: February 2026

Agreement: By accessing or using IndustryHub ("the Site," "we," "us," or "our"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree, do not use this site. These terms apply to all visitors and users of IndustryHub.

01

Eligibility — Age Requirements

IndustryHub is strictly for adults aged 18 or older. The site contains information related to adult content creation, adult entertainment platforms, and adult industry practices. By using this site, you represent and warrant that you are at least 18 years of age.

If you are under 18, you are not permitted to use this site. We do not knowingly collect information from, or provide services to, anyone under 18. If we become aware that a user is under 18, we will take steps to prevent their continued use.

Additionally, you must be of legal age to engage in adult content creation in your jurisdiction, which may be older than 18 in some locations. You are solely responsible for compliance with the laws of your jurisdiction.

02

What IndustryHub Is

IndustryHub is an informational resource and tool hub for adult content creators. It provides:

  • A platform comparison database (fees, features, payout data)
  • A browser-based income tracker
  • Equipment and studio setup guidance
  • An OBS streaming tutorial
  • A website builder tool with an optional AI assistant
  • A DMCA notice drafting and tracking interface
  • Legislative tracking and advocacy resources
  • An aggregated industry news feed

IndustryHub does not: host adult content, operate a payment processor, employ creators, place creators on platforms, provide legal representation, provide financial advice, or operate as an agency or management service.

03

No Professional, Legal, or Financial Advice

The content on IndustryHub — including the FAQ, Equipment Guide, Advocacy page, DMCA Dashboard, and all other resources — is for informational and educational purposes only. It does not constitute and should not be relied upon as:

  • Legal advice — including advice about DMCA takedowns, 2257 compliance, content legality, contracts, or any other legal matter
  • Financial or tax advice — including advice about income, deductions, payment methods, or business structure
  • Medical or psychological advice
  • Professional services of any kind

Always consult qualified professionals for legal, tax, medical, or other professional matters. This is especially important for DMCA compliance, 2257 recordkeeping obligations, tax reporting requirements, and any legal dispute.

DMCA Dashboard: The DMCA Dashboard helps you draft and organize takedown notices. Notices you generate are templates — you are responsible for verifying their accuracy and legal sufficiency before sending them. IndustryHub is not a law firm and does not represent you in any legal proceeding.
04

Information Accuracy & Platform Data

IndustryHub makes reasonable efforts to maintain accurate, current information about platforms, fees, payout rates, and industry practices. However:

  • Platform fees, payout rates, and policies change frequently. Data may be outdated between our review cycles.
  • Platform data is sourced from publicly available information and may not reflect the most current terms.
  • Ratings and scores are editorial assessments and reflect our analysis, not objective measurements.
  • Information about legislation and regulations may not be current or may not apply to your jurisdiction.

Always verify current rates, terms, and policies directly on each platform before making business decisions. IndustryHub provides a starting point for research — it is not a substitute for reviewing primary sources.

If you notice inaccurate information, please contact us so we can update it. We appreciate corrections from creators who have current, first-hand information.

05

Affiliate Relationships & Compensation

IndustryHub participates in affiliate programs. We may earn a commission when you:

  • Click a link to a third-party platform and sign up as a creator or user
  • Make a purchase through an affiliate link on this site

Affiliate commissions are paid by the platform or affiliate network — not by you. There is no additional cost to you from using affiliate links.

Affiliate relationships do not guarantee favorable treatment in our editorial content. Platform ratings, data, pros/cons, and recommendations reflect honest assessments. We include platforms with no affiliate relationships using the same methodology as platforms with affiliate programs.

This disclosure complies with FTC guidelines (16 CFR Part 255) and equivalent regulations in other jurisdictions. If you prefer not to use affiliate links, you may navigate to any platform directly using its standard web address.

06

AI Assistant — Terms of Use

The Studio Builder page includes an optional AI assistant powered by the Anthropic Claude API. Use of this feature is subject to the following:

Your API key and costs:

You must provide your own Anthropic API key to use this feature. You are responsible for all API usage costs incurred through your key. IndustryHub does not cover, reimburse, or limit your API usage costs.

No liability for AI outputs:

The AI assistant generates code, suggestions, and text that may contain errors, omissions, or inaccuracies. IndustryHub does not warrant the accuracy, suitability, or safety of any AI-generated content. You are solely responsible for reviewing and testing any code or content generated by the AI before using it.

Anthropic's terms apply:

Your use of the AI assistant is also governed by Anthropic's Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. By using the AI assistant, you agree to those terms.

Key security:

Your API key is stored in your browser's localStorage and is your responsibility to secure. Do not share your API key. IndustryHub is not responsible for unauthorized use of your API key or any charges resulting from it.
