eSafety Policy

This eSafety policy sets out our response to the Online Safety Act 2021 and is provided by Nightmare in Wax – ABN 438 7911 6692

We are committed to online safety in Australia.

The Online Safety Act 2021 is new legislation that makes Australia’s existing laws for online safety much more expansive and much stronger. While these laws have several subcategories, we have produced our eSafety Policy in response to restrictions relating to making online pornography only accessible to lawful Australian citizens aged 18 years and above.

Key Points:

  • We are an adults only 18+ online retail store
  • You must be 18 years or older to view or purchase products from our store
  • We are not a pornography platform

Store Objective

We are an online marketplace that connects retail customers to adult novelty products located in Australia and overseas.
Our primary role is to provide an online catalogue of adult novelty items for personal use
Our objective is not to overtly stimulate or titillate our customers during the purchase process

Restricted to Adults (RTA) Label:

We utilise the RTA (Restricted To Adults) meta data tags on all pages of our website

The “Restricted To Adults” website label was created by the Association of Sites Advocating Child Protection (ASACP) to better enable parental filtering, and to demonstrate the online adult industry’s commitment to helping parents prevent children from viewing age-inappropriate content

Essentially, this tag communicates to all popular child safety filters, reporting that we are an adults only site

Restricted Access System:

Certain parts of our website are placed behind a Restricted Access System (RAS)
When attempting to access these pages, a popup will appear where the user must confirm that they are over 18 years of age and agree to viewing adult content

Product Content:

We sell adult novelty products and associated accessories
We do not sell pornographic magazines or videos
We recognize that some of the products for sale on our website may contain uncensored content on or inside the product packaging as part of the marketing content

Image Content:

We do not use nudity or explicit images in our marketing material
We minimise the use of human models in our marketing material
Product images are provided by the product manufacturer
We endeavour to censor overtly sexual human nudity as much as possible
We do not censor non-human product images

We believe the steps we have made to protect online safety are appropriate considering our target audience and the types of content our customers are looking for. The products we sell are of an adult nature and we believe adults should be free to view and consume these products easily online, while also taking adequate steps to ensure we limit access to overt sexual materials to minors.

This eSafey policy has been created in conjunction with EROS, the Adults Only Association of Australia.
