## Adult Content (18+)

Goon is a self-hosted aggregator for adult-content scene metadata. The software
itself contains no media — it indexes metadata from third-party sources
(TheporndB, StashDB, public adult tube sites) and links to those sources for
playback.

By using, hosting, or distributing this software you affirm that:

- You are at least 18 years of age (or the age of legal majority in your
  jurisdiction, whichever is greater).
- Adult content is legal to view, store metadata about, and access in your
  jurisdiction.
- You are solely responsible for compliance with all applicable laws,
  including (but not limited to) record-keeping requirements (e.g. 18 U.S.C.
  § 2257 in the United States) and content classification rules.

## Self-Hosting Only

This software is intended for **self-hosting on infrastructure you control**.
Operating a public-facing instance accessible to unauthenticated users is
**not the intended use case** and may expose you to legal liability for
content delivery, age verification, and data protection.

If you operate a publicly accessible instance you are entirely responsible for
implementing the age verification, geo-restrictions, content moderation, ToS,
and privacy controls that your jurisdiction requires.

## Third-Party Sources

Goon scrapes publicly accessible search/listing pages from adult tube sites
to build its index. By configuring those scrapers and pointing them at a
target tube you accept that:

- Tube sites' Terms of Service may prohibit automated access. Respect their
  rate limits and `robots.txt`. Goon does not bypass paywalls, authentication,
  or DRM.
- Tube sites may at any time change their HTML, block your IP, or disable
  features Goon depends on. Discovery and stream resolution are best-effort.
- The metadata Goon stores (titles, performer names, duration, thumbnails)
  is sourced from those tubes and may contain inaccuracies, NSFW filenames,
  or content the tube has since removed. Reporting takedown requests is your
  responsibility — Goon ships no takedown workflow.

## No Warranty

This software is provided "AS IS" without warranty of any kind. See
[LICENSE](./LICENSE) for full terms. The authors and contributors are not
liable for any damages, losses, or legal consequences arising from use of
this software.

## Reporting Issues

For security issues affecting the software itself (auth bypass, RCE, secret
leak): open a private security advisory on the GitHub repository.

For takedown requests, content concerns, or jurisdiction-specific compliance
questions: contact the operator of the specific instance — Goon contributors
are not in a position to take action on third-party content surfaced by
self-hosted deployments.
