18 U.S.C. § 2257 Compliance Statement

18 U.S.C. § 2257 Disclosure

Barely Dating is a dating site which allows the uploading, sharing and general viewing of various types of adult and non-adult images.  While Barely Dating does the best it can to verify compliance, it may not always be 100% accurate.

Barely Dating abides by the following procedures to ensure compliance:

• requiring users to be at least 18 years of age;
• requiring users to upload only images of themselves;
• requiring users to submit valid government-issued photo ID where there is any doubt.

Barely Dating distances itself from any legal copyright action taken: it is fully upon the users of Barely Dating to verify the ownership of the uploaded material.

Barely Dating allows content to be flagged as inappropriate by other users.  Should any content be deemed illegal, unlawful, harassing, harmful, or offensive, Barely Dating shall remove it from the site.
