Aurora Legal

Terms of service

The agreement between you and Aurora for using the platform.

Draft under legal review. This text is published for transparency while Aurora is in private development and may change before launch.

Status: DRAFT — FOR LEGAL REVIEW Version: 1.2 (draft, revised 2026-11-06 for founding spots per city; 1.1 on 2026-11-02 for direct contact on ads, prepaid periods in Bitcoin and the founding offer) Effective date: [to be set on publication] Operator: [Registered company name], business number [Business number], [Registered address], [Province], Canada Governing law: the laws of [Province] and the federal laws of Canada applicable there; courts of [Province]

1. Who we are and what these terms cover

Aurora is an online advertising platform. Independent adult companions ("providers") publish a verified profile, which is their advertisement, and adults browse those advertisements and contact the provider directly using the contact details the provider chose to put on the ad. Aurora is operated by [Registered company name] ("Aurora", "we", "us"), a company incorporated in [Province], Canada, business number [Business number], with its registered office at [Registered address]. You can reach us at legal@auroramembers.com.

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of auroramembers.com and every service we offer through it (together, the "Service"). They apply to everyone who uses the Service, with or without an account.

The following documents form part of these Terms. Where they are more specific, they prevail over these Terms for their subject:

We give you the opportunity to read these Terms before you create an account, and you can download or print them at any time from /legal/terms. Earlier versions are kept at the same address.

2. Who may use Aurora

  1. Age. You must be at least 18 years old. Where the age of majority, or the minimum age for adult content or adult services, is higher in the place you are in, that higher age applies. Nobody under 18 may use the Service for any purpose, and we remove any account or content that involves a minor.
  2. Legal capacity. You must be able to enter into a binding contract under the law that applies to you.
  3. Lawfulness. Providers are responsible for being legally permitted to offer, and to advertise, their services where they operate. Members are responsible for being legally permitted to view adult content and to contact providers where they are.
  4. Sanctions. You may not use the Service if you are subject to sanctions of Canada, the European Union or the United Nations.
  5. One account per person. One natural person may hold one provider account and one member account. Duplicate accounts, and accounts created to evade a suspension, are removed.

3. Accounts and verification

  1. Account types. Aurora offers provider accounts. Reading advertisements and contacting a provider needs no account: a visitor confirms their age and reads the ad. Member accounts with paid plans may be offered later under these Terms; agency accounts are not offered.
  2. Provider verification. Before a provider profile is published, the provider completes identity and age verification with our verification partner, Didit Identity Spain S.L., Barcelona ("Didit"). This involves a government-issued identity document and a live selfie. We receive the result of the check, not the document images, as described in the Privacy policy. A profile that fails verification is not published.
  3. Age confirmation for visitors. Everyone who reads an advertisement first confirms that they are an adult. Providers must protect their account with two-step sign-in.
  4. Accurate information. The information you give us must be true, current and complete, and you must keep it so. Providers must keep their profile accurate, including the services they offer, their location and their availability.
  5. Your credentials. You are responsible for what happens under your account. Keep your password and second factor to yourself and tell us at once at security@auroramembers.com if you believe someone else has access.
  6. Pseudonymity. Providers choose a working name. Your legal identity is known to us for verification and is never shown on the Service.
  7. Staff. Aurora staff accounts are created by us and are not available to the public.

4. What you may and may not do

The Acceptable use policy sets out the full rules. In summary, you agree that you will:

  • use the Service only to publish, find and contact adult companions for services that are legal where they are provided;
  • treat providers and everyone else you reach through the Service with respect;
  • use the contact details on an advertisement only to contact that provider about the services advertised, and never collect, publish or pass them on;
  • not attempt to get around verification, the age confirmation or moderation;
  • not scrape, crawl, bulk-download, mirror or otherwise copy content from the Service by automated means or by hand;
  • not probe, overload or interfere with the Service or its security.

The following is never allowed and leads to immediate termination, preservation of evidence and, where the law requires or permits, a report to the authorities:

  • any content, request or activity involving a person under 18;
  • human trafficking, coercion, control of a provider by a third party against their will, or any exploitation;
  • publishing intimate images of a person without their consent;
  • impersonating another person, or publishing a profile for a person other than yourself without their verified consent;
  • fraud, including profiles that misrepresent who will provide the service;
  • harassment, threats, stalking, publishing another person's private information ("doxxing") or revealing a person's involvement in sex work ("outing");
  • advertising services that are illegal where they would be performed, or selling drugs, weapons or other controlled goods;
  • spam, bulk messaging or automated accounts;
  • creating accounts to get around a suspension or ban.

5. Your content and your responsibility as an advertiser

  1. You own your content. Providers keep every right in the photographs, videos and text they upload ("Content"). Aurora does not claim ownership of your Content.
  2. The licence you give us. So that we can run the Service, you grant Aurora a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide licence to host, store, reproduce, resize, cache, distribute through our content delivery network, index for search and display your Content on the Service and its subdomains. The licence ends when you delete the Content or your account, subject to the removal periods in section 11 and to copies held in backups for the period stated in the Privacy policy. We do not use your Content in advertising for Aurora without your separate written consent.
  3. Protection of your images. We may apply visible or invisible watermarks to your images and use reverse-image detection to find copies of them elsewhere.
  4. The advertiser is responsible. A provider profile is the provider's own advertisement. The provider is responsible for its Content, for its accuracy, and for its compliance with these Terms and with the law of every place where it is published and where the advertised services would be provided. By uploading Content you confirm that you own it or have permission to use it, that every person shown is an adult who consented to its publication, and that it complies with these Terms and the law.
  5. Moderation. Every image is checked automatically against hash databases of known child sexual abuse material and by a classifier before it can be seen, and every new profile and every change to the contact details or website on a live advertisement is reviewed by a member of our staff before publication. An image that passes the automatic checks is published without a further review; one the checks hold back is reviewed by a member of our staff first. We may remove or refuse Content that breaks these Terms or the law, and we tell you why when we do, as described in section 9.
  6. Copyright complaints. If you believe your copyrighted work has been posted without permission, follow the Copyright policy.

6. Contact details, hiding an ad, and no reviews

  1. Contact is direct. A provider chooses which contact lines appear on their advertisement: a phone number and how it may be used, a messaging handle, an email address, a website. People who read the ad contact the provider through those lines. Aurora does not sit in between, does not operate a messaging service between providers and the people who contact them, and does not see those conversations.
  2. Use of contact details. Contact details on an advertisement are published for one purpose: contacting that provider about the services advertised. Collecting them, publishing them elsewhere, passing them on, or using them for marketing, harassment or any other purpose is a breach of these Terms and may be an offence.
  3. Hiding an ad. A provider can take their advertisement off every public page at any time from their dashboard, with no reason given, and put it back without a new review. A paid period keeps running while the ad is hidden.
  4. No reviews. Aurora does not publish reviews or ratings of providers and does not allow anyone to do so. This is a deliberate choice to protect the safety and privacy of providers.

7. Paid periods and payment

  1. What you pay for. Aurora charges for the advertising service and nothing else: a provider pays for the period during which their advertisement is published in their city. Aurora never handles, holds, collects or takes a share of any payment between a provider and a client. Any rate, deposit or cancellation term is set by the provider and arranged directly between the provider and the client, outside the Service.
  2. Periods and prices. Advertising is sold in prepaid periods of 30 days. Pro is 39 euros per period: the advertisement is published in the provider's city with its full gallery, rates and contact details. Elite is 129 euros per period: everything in Pro, plus placement at the top of the city listing, marked as Elite. The current prices and what each period includes are shown on your billing page before you commit to any purchase.
  3. Nothing renews. A period is paid for in advance and ends on its end date. Nothing is charged automatically, no payment method is stored, and there is nothing to cancel. When a period ends the advertisement is no longer published until you buy another period. We tell you by email three days before a period ends and again when it has ended.
  4. The founding offer. While the founding offer runs, a provider whose advertisement is approved before the offer's end date, and while the city the advertisement is listed in has founding spots left, receives one free Pro period of the length published on the Service, applied automatically on approval. The number of founding spots per city is published on the Service, and the count shown is the number actually remaining. A provider who applied through an invitation email sent by Aurora receives the free period even when that city's spots are taken. One free period per account, ever. A free period is not a trial: nothing is charged when it ends, and nothing renews.
  5. How you pay. Periods are paid in Bitcoin to a payment server operated by Aurora. When you buy a period, an invoice shows the amount in Bitcoin and the address to send it to; the price is fixed for the time shown on the invoice. The period starts when the payment has enough confirmations on the Bitcoin network, usually within the hour. If the invoice expires before you pay, nothing was charged and you can start a new invoice. If you send less than the amount, the invoice shows what remains; if you send more, or you pay after the invoice expired, write to hello@auroramembers.com with the invoice reference and we apply the period or refund the difference to an address you give us. A guide is published at /paying-in-bitcoin.
  6. Refunds. Bitcoin payments cannot be reversed by a bank, so refunds are made by us, to an address you give us, in the cases set out in sections 11.3, 11.4 and 14 and where the law requires. We do not give partial refunds for the remainder of a period you chose not to use.
  7. Consumer rights. Provider periods are bought in the course of a business. If the law of your province or country nevertheless gives you consumer rights about disclosure or refunds that these Terms cannot reduce, those rights prevail.
  8. Price changes. A price change applies only to periods bought after the change. A period you have already paid for is not affected.
  9. Taxes and receipts. You receive a receipt by email for each period. Providers are responsible for their own tax obligations.

8. Third-party services, and our role

  1. The Service uses third parties to deliver parts of it: identity verification (Didit), image scanning, content delivery, email and hosting. They are listed in the Privacy policy together with where they process data. Their own terms apply to your direct relationship with them, for example when you complete a verification session. Payment is received by a server Aurora operates itself; the exchange or wallet you buy Bitcoin from is your own choice and your own relationship.
  2. Aurora is an advertising platform. We are not a party to any arrangement between a provider and a client, and we do not provide, arrange, supervise or guarantee any service that a provider advertises.
  3. We verify the identity and age of every provider with care, and we review every advertisement, but we cannot guarantee the identity, conduct, intentions or safety of any user or visitor. Use your own judgement, follow the safety guidance we publish, and report anything that worries you.
  4. We work hard to keep the Service available and secure, but we provide it as it is. We do not promise that it will be uninterrupted or error-free.
  5. The Service may link to sites we do not control. We are not responsible for them.

9. Moderation, reports and complaints

  1. Reporting. Anyone, with or without an account, can report an advertisement or an image through the report form at /report or by email to abuse@auroramembers.com. The Notice and action procedure describes what happens next and the timelines we work to.
  2. Statement of reasons. When we remove or restrict Content, restrict your account, suspend or terminate it, or demote your profile, we tell you what we did, why, which rule or law it was based on, whether automated means were involved, and how to complain. The only exception is where telling you would be unlawful or would obstruct an investigation.
  3. Complaints. You can complain about any such decision, and about a decision not to act on your report, within six months, from your account or by email to appeals@auroramembers.com. Complaints are reviewed by a member of staff who did not take the original decision. We do not use automated means alone to decide complaints.
  4. Users in the European Union. For users in the EU, the notice-and-action procedure, statements of reasons, complaint handling and out-of-court dispute settlement described in the Notice and action procedure apply as required by the Digital Services Act, and Aurora will appoint a legal representative in the EU under Article 13 of that Regulation. This does not affect anyone's right to go to court.
  5. Trusted flaggers. Reports from organisations we recognise as trusted flaggers, including those recognised under the Digital Services Act, are handled with priority.
  6. Zero tolerance. For content or conduct involving minors, trafficking or coercion we act immediately, preserve evidence and report to the competent authorities and hotlines, including the Canadian Centre for Child Protection and NCMEC. These decisions can still be complained about, but the content is not restored while the complaint is reviewed.

10. How listings are ordered

Advertisements in a city listing are ordered by plan (Elite first, shown in a featured position that is marked as such), then by whether the provider has marked themselves available now, then by how recently the advertisement was updated. When a visitor types a search, results are ordered by how well they match the words typed. Visitors can narrow a listing with the filters on every listing page. We do not rank on reviews, ratings, or on anything paid to us outside the periods described in section 7, and there is no auction for position. The Transparency report describes these parameters in more detail.

11. Ending your account

  1. By you. You can delete your account at any time from your settings. Your profile is removed from public pages and search within 24 hours, your account is deactivated at once, and your data is deleted within 30 days except where we must keep it under the law, as set out in the Privacy policy.
  2. By us. We may suspend or terminate your account if you break these Terms, the Acceptable use policy or the law, if we are required to by a court or authority, or if your account has been inactive for more than 24 months. For breaches that are not serious we warn you first and give you the opportunity to put things right. For the conduct listed as never allowed in section 4 we terminate immediately.
  3. Refunds on termination by us. If we end your account for a reason other than your breach, we refund the unused part of the period you paid for. If we end it because of a serious breach by you, we do not, unless the law requires otherwise.
  4. If Aurora ends the Service. We may change or discontinue parts of the Service. If we discontinue the Service as a whole, we give you at least 60 days' notice and refund any unused part of a paid period.
  5. Survival. Sections 5.2 (to the extent needed to remove your Content from caches and backups), 5.4, 8, 12, 13 and 14 continue to apply after your account ends.

12. Privacy

How we collect, use, keep and delete personal information is set out in the Privacy policy, which forms part of these Terms. We are subject to the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) and, where it applies, the private-sector privacy law of your province. For users in the European Union we also comply with the General Data Protection Regulation, and Aurora will appoint a representative in the EU under Article 27 of that Regulation. Our data is held on servers in the European Union.

13. Liability

  1. Nothing in these Terms limits our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud, for wilful misconduct, or for anything else that cannot be limited under the law that applies to you.
  2. Subject to 13.1, our total liability to you for all claims arising out of or in connection with the Service in any twelve-month period is limited to the amount you paid us in that period, or 100 euros if you paid nothing.
  3. Subject to 13.1, we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, loss of profit, loss of business or loss of data, nor for anything that happens between a provider and a client, on or off the platform.
  4. We act on reports of illegal content in good faith and without undue delay once we have actual knowledge of it. We are not liable for user content of which we had no such knowledge.
  5. You compensate us for third-party claims that result from your breach of these Terms, to the extent the claim is caused by your breach.

14. Changes to these Terms

We may change these Terms. We give at least 30 days' notice of a change by email and in your account, with a summary of what changed. If you continue to use the Service after the change takes effect, the new Terms apply. If you do not agree, close your account before that date, and we refund any unused part of a paid period. Changes that we must make to comply with the law may take effect sooner.

15. Law, courts and language

  1. These Terms are governed by the laws of [Province] and the federal laws of Canada applicable there.
  2. Disputes are brought before the courts of [Province], unless mandatory law gives you the right to go to another court. If you are a consumer, you also keep the protection of the mandatory consumer law of the place where you live.
  3. These Terms are written in English. We may publish translations; if a translation and the English text differ, the English text applies, except where the law of your province or country requires otherwise.
  4. If part of these Terms is found invalid, the rest remains in force. If we do not enforce a provision on one occasion, we may still enforce it later. We may transfer our rights and obligations under these Terms to a successor of our business, with notice to you; you may not transfer yours.
