Acceptable use and creator content declarations

What the platform may be used for, what it may not, and what every creator record stores before it can send a message.

Before a creator record can go live in OFM Chatbot, it stores a signed content-ownership declaration: the creator states that she owns or holds distribution rights to the media, and that every person depicted consented and was over 18 when it was produced. It is re-signed at every script publication and renewed annually, each signature written to an immutable audit row. Operators need that trail for one reason above all: payment processors, app stores and Telegram itself act on adult content without a documented chain, and this is what you produce when a review arrives. Fans in the EU and UK can request deletion of their conversation history, which is removed while aggregate revenue figures remain intact.

Be clear about what this is. It is a declaration by the creator, recorded and timestamped — not an identity check we perform. OFM Chatbot does not verify a creator’s identity or age against a document, and does not verify the provenance of uploaded media. The accuracy of the declaration rests with the operator who signs it.

The declaration

Each creator record stores, before it can be enabled:

  • A declaration from the account owner that she owns or holds distribution rights to every item of media uploaded.
  • A declaration that every person depicted consented to distribution and was over 18 when the media was produced.
  • Who signed, what they signed, and when — as an immutable audit row.

These records export with the rest of your data on every plan, so you can produce them during a processor or platform review, or file them alongside the 18 U.S.C. § 2257 records a US-facing agency already keeps.

Permitted use

  • Operating conversations on Telegram for adult creators who have given documented consent, through a bot or a Telegram Business connection the account owner authorised.
  • Selling media the agency has the rights to distribute, behind a Telegram Stars paywall.
  • Replying to conversations a fan initiated.

Prohibited use

  • Any creator profile depicting a person who has not consented, or whose age is not verified. This includes profiles built from scraped or purchased media.
  • Impersonating a real person who is not a consenting creator under contract with you.
  • Any content involving minors, non-consensual material, or content that is illegal in the markets you operate in.
  • Unsolicited mass messaging or broadcast. The platform does not provide it, and building it externally against a OFM Chatbot-connected account is a breach.
  • Soliciting money for purposes other than the media being sold — including emergency, medical or investment pretexts.

Enforcement

We will suspend a workspace that breaches this policy. Where a breach involves a person who has not consented or is not verifiably an adult, suspension is immediate and does not wait for a response. We would rather lose the account than be part of the chain.
