Terms and Conditions (for the Use of Services) of
EmpireDom Holding GmbH (FN 556925h)
Version of 18.06.2025
I. General Provisions
1.1 These General Terms and Conditions (hereinafter referred to as “GTC”) apply to all services and contracts concluded and offered by EmpireDom Holding GmbH (hereinafter referred to as “Provider”) with users, and govern the use thereof.
1.2 These GTC also apply to all future contracts and services with users. Amendments to the GTC shall be deemed approved and apply in their amended version to existing contracts and services, unless the user objects to the amended GTC in writing within one month of being notified thereof. The amended GTC shall be transmitted electronically (via email). If the user objects in due time, the previous version of the GTC shall remain applicable to contracts and services then in effect. In such a case, the Provider reserves the right to terminate the contract with the objecting user with 14 days’ notice.
1.3. By registering, the user explicitly accepts these GTC and the Privacy Policy. The user also confirms having taken note of the instructions regarding withdrawal and revocation pursuant to the Austrian Distance and Off-Premises Contracts Act (FAGG) (see Section 14).
1.4 The contractual language is German or English.
1.5 The Provider’s services may neither be actively used nor passively consumed by persons under 18 years of age. Any access by minors is strictly prohibited due to legal provisions for the protection of minors.
II. Registration / Conclusion of Contract
2.1 To use the Provider’s services, registration is required. For registration, the user must provide an email address, a password of their choice, and proof of being of legal age. If the user opts to register via an existing account with X, Instagram, Facebook, Google+, or similar social media platforms offered at registration, they must allow the Provider access to basic profile data (first name, date of birth, gender) and email address.
2.2 The user is obligated to provide truthful and complete information during registration. The Provider reserves the right to verify this information. Pseudonyms are permitted.
2.3 To ensure that minors (persons under the age of 18) cannot access the social media platform, the user must provide proof of legal age. Age verification is carried out through a verification service (e.g., IDnow, Yoti, or similar). Further details on the verification process (email address, etc.) will be provided during registration. Until age verification is successfully completed, the user will not have access to EmpireDom Holding GmbH’s content, but only to content rated suitable for all ages (FSK 0).
2.4 There is no entitlement to registration. The Provider reserves the right to reject a registration without providing reasons.
2.5 Each user may create only one account. Multiple registrations are not permitted.
2.6 To confirm the registration, a confirmation email will be sent to the email address provided by the user. The registration process is only complete once the user clicks the activation link contained in the email.
2.7 Upon completion of the registration and successful verification of age, the user may use the Provider’s services.
2.8 Registration establishes a contractual relationship between the Provider and the user.
2.9 Registration is free of charge. Use of the Provider’s services is partially free, but mostly subject to payment. Payment is generally made through monthly paid subscriptions.
III. Services
3.1 The Provider offers the user paid access to its social media platform featuring fetish content, with a focus on Findom and Femdom. The content may include sexual, erotic, and fetish-related representations, which are strictly reserved for adult users only.
3.2 On the EmpireDom platform, users are introduced to content creators who produce videos and livestreams containing adult content in which users may participate either actively or passively. Users are offered various interaction and usage options, including:
-
Participating in video chats and livestreams of the content creators, as well as viewing recorded videos on the platform
-
Interacting with content creators via chat and like functions
-
The ability to voluntarily send monetary amounts (“donations”) to content creators
3.3 In light of the technical and economic development of the internet, legal provisions or regulatory requirements, as well as further developments of the Provider’s or third-party products, the Provider is entitled at any time to make changes to the services provided, provided that such changes are technically feasible and legally permissible. No additional costs will arise for the user as a result. The user will be informed of such changes.
IV. User Obligations and Code of Conduct
4.1 To fully use the Provider’s services, the user must have a suitable, up-to-date technical device and regularly update its software. Using outdated devices or software may limit the platform’s functionality.
4.2 Accessing the Provider’s services requires an internet-enabled device (computer, tablet, or smartphone), as well as use of the device’s storage and communication functions. The user shall bear all connection and data costs incurred through internet or mobile service providers.
4.3 The user is obligated to treat their access credentials (username and password) strictly confidential and protect them from third-party access—especially from minors. Sharing login details with third parties, including Provider staff, is prohibited.
If the user suspects third-party access to their credentials, they must immediately change their password and inform the Provider. Should the user share their credentials regardless, they are liable for any resulting damage. The Provider accepts no liability for such user-caused losses.
4.4 The user agrees to use the Provider’s services only for their intended purposes and to refrain from actions that could harm or endanger the Provider, its staff, or other users, or restrict the availability of services for others. Proper use includes following all instructions and recommendations communicated to the user through the app, website, user guides, or other means before or after conclusion of the contract.
4.5 The Provider enables users to communicate and interact with content creators. The user commits to using the services properly and in particular to observing the following rules:
4.5.1 Entering personal data in chats or other interaction features with content creators is at the user’s own risk. (Providing personal data such as a private email address, phone number, or hyperlinks containing such data is not permitted in user profiles or livestream chats.)
4.5.2 Publishing third-party data (e.g., creating a profile on behalf of someone else) without their explicit consent is also prohibited.
4.5.3 The user agrees not to threaten, harass, or violate the (personal) rights of content creators, third parties, or other users.
4.5.4 Using the Provider’s services for commercial purposes—especially for advertising, product promotion, offering goods or services, promoting external websites, or mass/automated message distribution (“spam”)—is not allowed.
4.5.5 The user confirms not to upload data containing viruses (infected software), or software/content protected by third-party copyrights.
4.5.6 The user is strictly prohibited from recording or saving any videos, livestreams, or other platform content. Taking screenshots is also explicitly forbidden.
4.6 Registration requires valid proof of age confirming the user is at least 18 years old. Verification is carried out through a recognized age verification service (e.g., IDnow, Yoti, etc.).
By registering, the user confirms that they are of legal age and that access to sexually explicit content is legally permitted under the laws of their country of residence.
4.7 Regardless of any civil or criminal consequences, the user shall fully indemnify and hold harmless the Provider for all damages and potential third-party claims arising from violations of the user obligations outlined in Section 4 of these GTC.
V. Usage and Copyright
The Provider is the sole holder of all reproduction, distribution, adaptation, and all intellectual property rights, as well as the rights to intangible transmission and reproduction of the social media database and the individual contents contained therein, in relation to the user.
The use of the database and its contents, materials, trademarks, and trade names is permitted exclusively for the purposes set out in these Terms and Conditions.
Any commercial use of content—in particular creating, sharing, or redistributing screenshots, recordings, or other materials—is strictly prohibited.
VI. Availability and Warranty
6.1 The user acknowledges that software cannot be developed and provided entirely free of errors according to the current state of technology.
6.2 The Provider does not guarantee uninterrupted availability of its services. Downtime due to maintenance, software updates, or circumstances beyond the Provider’s control (technical issues with third parties, force majeure), which may render the services temporarily inaccessible over the internet, cannot be ruled out.
The user agrees not to assert any claims for damages or warranty due to such outages.
6.3 The Provider shall not be liable for defects caused by changes to the software, programming, or configuration of the platform made by the user or third parties after commissioning. Unauthorized interventions in the platform that are not expressly approved by the Provider are prohibited and result in a complete exclusion of liability.
6.4 The Provider assumes no warranty and is not liable for defects in performance caused by the user’s own systems (hardware or software).
6.5 The Provider does not guarantee that its services will meet the user’s expectations.
VII. Liability
7.1 Unless contrary to mandatory law, the Provider is only liable for damages caused in connection with this contract by the Provider, its employees, or agents in cases of gross negligence or intent.
This limitation of liability does not apply to personal injury.
7.2 Notwithstanding Section 7.1, the Provider shall not be liable for consequential damages, lost profits, data loss, or financial losses.
7.3 The Provider shall not be liable for content shared by users or third parties on the Provider’s social media platform, nor for any damages arising therefrom.
VIII. Zahlungsbedingungen
8.1 The user’s monthly payments in the form of a subscription must be paid in full in advance each month. (The due date is the first day of each month.)
8.2 If the user fails to pay the monthly fee for using the service, the Provider is entitled to temporarily suspend service access or withdraw from the contract.
8.3 The user has no right of retention.
8.4 Any court costs incurred by the Provider in asserting or enforcing claims against the customer must be borne by the customer in the actual amount incurred.
For out-of-court collection costs, the user shall pay a flat fee of 15% of the outstanding amount as compensation for administrative and collection efforts.
IX. Suspension of Services
The Provider is entitled to suspend the service covered by this contract, in whole or in part, if the security of the service or the safety of users is at risk.
This right also applies if continued operation of the service or parts thereof becomes economically unreasonable for the Provider.
The Provider shall inform the user of such measures without undue delay.
X. Sanctions
The Provider reserves the right, in the event of a user’s violation of these Terms and Conditions, to:
10.1 issue a warning to the user,
10.2 temporarily or permanently suspend the user, or
10.3 terminate the contractual relationship early in accordance with Section 11 and delete the user’s profile,
particularly in the case of violations of Sections 4 and 8 of these GTC.
XI. Duration / Termination of the Contractual Relationship
11.1 This contract is concluded for an indefinite period. The user may terminate the contractual relationship at any time in writing – except in the case of changes to the GTC (see Section 1).
The Provider is entitled to terminate the contract with one month’s notice effective at the end of any calendar month.
11.2 The Provider is entitled to terminate this contract without notice and with immediate effect for good cause by written declaration. Good cause particularly includes:
11.2.1 if the user violates Sections 4.2 to 4.5, Section 5, or Section 8.1 of these GTC;
11.2.2 if the Provider notifies the user of a breach of any other provision of this contract and requests that the user remedy the breach within a period of at least 14 days, and the user fails to comply within the deadline.
In particularly serious cases – especially in the event of serious violations of legal provisions or these GTC – the Provider is entitled to immediately suspend the user’s access without setting a prior deadline.
XII. Confidentiality / Data Protection
12.1 The user agrees to treat all emails, messages, or data from other users and content creators (e.g., names, phone numbers, email addresses, age verification, and payment data) received in connection with the use of the platform confidentially.
The user may not disclose such data—neither fully nor partially, directly or indirectly—to third parties without prior written consent from the other user or content creator.
12.2 Both the Provider and the user are obliged to comply with the provisions of the Austrian Data Protection Act (DSG), the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and any other applicable statutory confidentiality obligations.
12.3 The Provider processes the personal data of the user that is necessary for the fulfillment of the contract. Detailed information on data protection (Privacy Notice) in accordance with Art. 13 ff. GDPR can be found on our website at:
https://empiredom.com/privacy-policy/
Data will only be shared with third parties if required by law or with the explicit consent of the user.
12.4 The obligations above remain in effect even after the termination of this contractual relationship.
XIII. Final Provisions
13.1 All legally binding declarations under this contract must be made in writing and sent to the last known email address of the respective contracting party.
A declaration sent to the most recently provided email address shall be deemed received by the respective party.
13.2 The section titles used in this agreement serve solely to enhance clarity and shall not be used for the interpretation of the contract.
XIV. Right of Withdrawal and Exercising the Right of Withdrawal
14.1 In the case of consumer contracts, the user may withdraw from a contract concluded via distance selling or outside of business premises within 14 days of contract conclusion without giving any reason.
Information regarding the conditions, deadline, and procedure for exercising the right of withdrawal is provided in the “Withdrawal Instruction” and “Withdrawal Form” (attached as Annexes A & B).
14.2 If a withdrawal is made, the user’s profile will be deleted from the Provider’s database and further use of the database services will no longer be possible.
14.3 To exercise the right of withdrawal, the consumer may use the standard withdrawal form provided in Annex B.
14.4 Activation of the Provider’s services is considered the start of service delivery. By completing registration (see Section 2), the user is expressly informed that they may request that service begin before the end of the statutory withdrawal period. The statutory right of withdrawal only lapses if the user expressly agrees to this early commencement and simultaneously confirms that they lose their right of withdrawal by doing so. Without this express agreement, the right of withdrawal remains unaffected.
14.5 The user hereby acknowledges and expressly agrees that by completing initial registration (activation link), the Provider’s performance begins before the end of the withdrawal period under § 11 FAGG.
This does not automatically result in the loss of the right of withdrawal under § 18 FAGG.
