Buckd is for adults 18 and older. Any sexualization or exploitation of a minor, child sexual abuse material, grooming, trafficking, sextortion, or attempt to obtain intimate material from a minor is prohibited and may be reported to appropriate organizations or authorities. Do not impersonate a minor or use Buckd to target a person who cannot lawfully consent.

Buckd is a paid written-reply service. It must not be used as a way to transfer value between people or to disguise another transaction.

5. Respect intellectual property and systems

• Submit only content you have the right to use and do not infringe copyright, trademark, privacy, publicity, or other rights.
• Do not distribute malware, harmful code, credential-stealing links, or content intended to compromise a device or account.
• Do not scrape, probe, disrupt, overload, reverse engineer, or gain unauthorized access to Buckd, its users, or connected services.
• Do not exploit bugs, refund processes, disputes, credits, holds, or payouts for unintended benefit. Report suspected security flaws responsibly and do not access data that is not yours.

6. Enforcement

Buckd may use automated signals and human review to investigate suspected violations. Depending on severity and context, Buckd may warn a user; limit a message or public door; remove content; restore or reverse credits; pause a transaction or payout; require verification; suspend or close an account; preserve evidence; or notify Stripe, affected users, organizations, or authorities. Serious safety threats, exploitation, fraud, and evasion may result in immediate action.

7. Reporting

If a message presents an immediate threat or emergency, contact local emergency services first. Use Buckd's available report or block controls for harmful messages and follow the safety instructions on Support. Preserve relevant details, but do not publicly repost private or harmful content. Knowingly false or retaliatory reports are also prohibited.
