This statement is published pursuant to 18 U.S.C. §2257, 18 U.S.C. §2257A, and the implementing regulations at 28 C.F.R. Part 75, including 28 C.F.R. §75.6 and §75.7. It describes the role of the operator of EyeCandyVids with respect to the visual depictions appearing on the website, identifies the parties responsible for maintaining records under those provisions, and provides contact information for the Custodian of Records.
The website located at https://eyecandyvids.com ("EyeCandyVids" or the "Website") is owned and operated by Exipher Ventures LLC, a Wyoming limited liability company (the "Operator," "we," "us," or "our").
The Website is an online marketplace. Independent third-party content creators, referred to on the Website as "Studios" and "Performers" (each a "Creator"), upload video content to their own storefronts and offer it for sale to verified adult purchasers. The Operator does not produce, direct, film, cast, script, stage, or otherwise create the visual depictions offered for sale on the Website, and does not hire, contract for, manage, or otherwise arrange for the participation of any depicted performer.
With respect to all visual depictions appearing on or made available through the Website, the Operator's activities are limited to the transmission, storage, retrieval, hosting, formatting, encoding, and display of communications submitted by third parties, together with the provision of the marketplace, payment facilitation, and content-integrity functions described in this statement.
The Operator is not a "primary producer" within the meaning of 28 C.F.R. §75.1(c)(1). The Operator does not film, videotape, photograph, digitize, or otherwise create any visual depiction appearing on the Website, and it takes no part in the selection, casting, or direction of performers.
The Operator further takes the position that it is not a "producer" as that term is defined in 28 C.F.R. §75.1(c), on the basis of the exclusions set out in 28 C.F.R. §75.1(c)(4), which provide that the term does not include persons whose relevant activities are limited to distribution, to activities that do not involve the hiring, contracting for, managing, or otherwise arranging for the participation of the depicted performers, to the provision of an Internet access service or Internet information location tool, or to the transmission, storage, retrieval, hosting, formatting, or translation of a communication without selection or alteration of the content of the communication. As that provision expressly recognizes, the deletion of a particular communication or item of material submitted by another person, undertaken in a manner consistent with 47 U.S.C. §230(c), does not constitute selection or alteration of the content of a communication. Accordingly, the Operator's removal of content that violates its published policies, its refusal to publish submitted content, and its enforcement actions against Creators are not intended to and, in the Operator's view, do not convert the Operator into a producer of any depiction.
No admission. Nothing in this statement constitutes an admission or agreement that the Operator is a primary producer or a secondary producer of any visual depiction, that any particular depiction is subject to 18 U.S.C. §2257 or §2257A, or that any particular depiction contains actual or simulated sexually explicit conduct as those terms are defined by law. The Operator reserves all rights, positions, and defenses available to it.
Each Creator who uploads content to the Website is the primary producer of the visual depictions contained in that content, and each Creator is contractually required to comply with 18 U.S.C. §2257 and §2257A and 28 C.F.R. Part 75 with respect to that content. The original records required by 28 C.F.R. §75.2 are created and maintained by the applicable Creator, or by that Creator's designated Custodian of Records, at the Creator's own place of business. The Operator does not hold the originals of those records and is not the custodian of them.
Under the Content Creator Agreement, every Creator represents and warrants, as a condition of publication and of payment, that for each performer appearing in each depiction the Creator has obtained and retains:
Creators are required to make those records available to the Operator on request, and to identify their own Custodian of Records and the address at which their records are maintained. A Creator's failure or refusal to produce responsive records on request results in the immediate removal of the affected content and may result in termination of the Creator's account and suspension of payouts, as described in the Content Moderation Policy.
Without conceding that it is obligated to do so, and as a matter of platform diligence and content integrity, the Operator collects and retains verification materials relating to Creators and to the performers depicted in content published on the Website. Depending on the submission, these materials may include copies of government-issued photo identification for the account holder and for each depicted performer, records of legal and professional names, per-scene consent and release documentation, the Creator's own §2257 records statement and Custodian of Records designation, and the associated review and cross-reference records generated by the Operator's pre-publication review process. The Get Verified page describes what is required of Creators, and the Privacy Policy describes how this material is handled, restricted, and retained.
These materials are held under restricted internal access. They are not published, are not disclosed to purchasers, and are disclosed to third parties only as required by law, in response to valid legal process, or as otherwise described in the Privacy Policy.
Pursuant to 28 C.F.R. §75.6, and with respect to any material for which the Operator may be deemed a producer, the following person is designated as the Custodian of Records. Records maintained by the Operator are kept at the address stated below.
2257 RECORDS REQUEST
Records maintained by the Operator are available for inspection at the address above during ordinary business hours, [INSPECTION HOURS — CONFIRM: 28 C.F.R. §75.5 CONTEMPLATES AT LEAST 20 HOURS PER WEEK]. Because the Operator's business operations are conducted from California while its registered office is in Wyoming, any inspection should be arranged in advance by written notice to the Custodian of Records so that responsive records and personnel can be made available at the designated location. [RECORDS-LOCATION ELECTION — CONFIRM WITH COUNSEL WHETHER THE DESIGNATED INSPECTION LOCATION SHOULD BE THE WYOMING REGISTERED OFFICE OR A CALIFORNIA PLACE OF BUSINESS]
The Operator is not the custodian of records for depictions produced by Creators. Requests directed to the Operator concerning records held by a Creator will, where the Operator is able to do so, be forwarded to the applicable Creator or to that Creator's designated Custodian of Records.
To the extent any material on the Website depicts simulated sexually explicit conduct rather than actual sexually explicit conduct, and is therefore within the scope of 18 U.S.C. §2257A and 28 C.F.R. Part 75, the same allocation of responsibility applies: the Creator who produced the depiction is the primary producer and maintains the required records, and the Operator's role remains limited as described in Section 2 above.
The Operator has not made and does not presently rely upon any certification under 18 U.S.C. §2257A(h) or 28 C.F.R. §75.9. [§2257A(h) CERTIFICATION ELECTION — CONFIRM WITH COUNSEL WHETHER A CERTIFICATION TO THE ATTORNEY GENERAL IS APPROPRIATE AND, IF SO, UPDATE THIS SECTION]
Portions of the Website contain material that does not depict actual or simulated sexually explicit conduct within the meaning of 18 U.S.C. §2256(2), including textual descriptions, promotional graphics, user avatars, interface elements, and non-explicit preview imagery. With respect to that material, the Operator relies upon the exemption statement contemplated by 28 C.F.R. §75.7, and no records are required to be maintained under 18 U.S.C. §2257 or §2257A.
No person under the age of eighteen (18) years may appear in any content on the Website, in any capacity, whether or not the depiction is sexual in nature. Creators must verify the age of every performer against a valid government-issued photo identification document before production and must retain that documentation. Content is subject to pre-publication review, during which the Operator cross-checks submitted performer documentation against the persons visibly depicted in the content.
Separately, and for a different statutory purpose, access to the Website by visitors is subject to age assurance through a third-party age-verification provider (AgeChecked / AgeAware), operated in a verify-all configuration and enforced where state law requires it. Age assurance of site visitors is not a substitute for, and is independent of, the performer age-verification and record-keeping obligations described in this statement.
The Operator removes, restricts, or refuses to publish any content for which required performer documentation is missing, incomplete, illegible, inconsistent, or reasonably believed to be inauthentic. Content reported as depicting a minor or as non-consensual is removed provisionally on receipt of the report, pending review, as described in the Anti-Human-Trafficking and Non-Consensual Content Policy. Apparent child sexual abuse material is reported to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children as required by 18 U.S.C. §2258A, the responsible account is terminated, and the material is preserved as required by law rather than deleted.
Any person who believes that content on the Website depicts a minor, depicts a person who did not consent to the depiction or to its distribution, or is otherwise published without the documentation described in this statement should report it immediately. Reports are acknowledged within 24 hours, and content reported as depicting a minor or as non-consensual is removed provisionally on receipt pending review.

This statement applies to material published on the Website on and after the date of first publication of this statement. Hyperlinks on the Website may lead to third-party websites over which the Operator exercises no control; the Operator makes no representation regarding the record-keeping practices or compliance of any third-party website, and each such website publishes its own statement.
The scope and application of 18 U.S.C. §2257 and §2257A and of 28 C.F.R. Part 75 have been the subject of judicial proceedings, and the requirements as applied to online intermediaries continue to develop. The Operator reviews this statement periodically and will update it as necessary. This statement is provided for informational and compliance-notice purposes and does not constitute legal advice.
Questions about this statement, and formal requests concerning records, should be addressed to the Custodian of Records at [email protected] using the subject line 2257 RECORDS REQUEST, or by mail to the address in Section 5.
