Compliance with federal record-keeping requirements

Last Updated: June 6, 2026

TopX18 is committed to full compliance with Title 18, United States Code, Section 2257, and the regulations promulgated thereunder (the "2257 Regulations"). This page provides information regarding our compliance obligations under federal law.

All content displayed on our Platform is produced by third-party content providers who are responsible for maintaining their own records in compliance with 18 U.S.C. § 2257.

Legal Framework

The federal law under Title 18, United States Code, Section 2257, and its regulations require certain record-keeping requirements for producers, who may be entities or individuals that have created explicit content featuring performers.

Under these regulations, producers must maintain certain documentation regarding performers, including identity verification and age certification records.

Third-Party Content

TopX18 operates as a platform that hosts and distributes content provided by third-party producers and distributors. We do not create, produce, or direct the content available on our Platform.

All content is sourced from licensed producers who represent and warrant that they maintain all required records in compliance with 18 U.S.C. § 2257 and the 2257 Regulations. These third-party producers are responsible for:

  • • Maintaining accurate and complete records as required by law
  • • Verifying the age and identity of all performers
  • • Making records available for government inspection when required
  • • Ensuring all performers are of legal age

Our Compliance Efforts

TopX18 takes compliance seriously and implements various measures to ensure adherence to applicable laws and regulations:

  • • Working only with licensed and verified content producers
  • • Requiring content producers to provide appropriate certifications
  • • Implementing content review and monitoring procedures
  • • Removing content that fails to meet compliance standards
  • • Cooperating with law enforcement and regulatory authorities

Record Custodians

Under 18 U.S.C. § 2257, custodians of records are required to maintain certain documentation. The custodian of records for content available on our Platform is the original producer or distributor of such content.

TopX18 does not serve as the custodian of records for third-party content. We rely on content providers to maintain their own records in compliance with applicable law.

Age Verification

TopX18 implements age verification measures to ensure that only adults aged 18 years or older can access our Platform. Users are required to confirm their age and agree to our Terms and Conditions before accessing content.

We do not knowingly allow individuals under the age of 18 to access our Platform or create user accounts.

Government Inspection

In accordance with 18 U.S.C. § 2257, records maintained by content producers are subject to inspection by authorized government officials. TopX18 will fully cooperate with any lawful investigation or inspection conducted by federal, state, or local authorities.

Reporting Concerns

If you have concerns about content on our Platform or believe that a violation of 18 U.S.C. § 2257 has occurred, please contact us immediately. We take such matters seriously and will investigate all reports promptly.

You may also contact the appropriate law enforcement or regulatory authorities.
