Buying or selling an adult website is different from a standard business transaction.
Adult-industry deals often involve domains, content libraries, 2257 records, model releases, performer agreements, billing accounts, affiliate programs, traffic sources, social media accounts, software, trademarks, customer data, vendor agreements, and payment processor relationships.
Silverstein Legal assists clients with adult website purchases, asset purchase agreements, content library acquisitions, due diligence, domain transfers, intellectual property transfers, software and platform assets, affiliate program issues, billing and merchant account transition issues, seller statements of fact, non-assumed liabilities, post-closing obligations, and records delivery.
For buyers, the firm helps identify what is actually being purchased, what rights are being transferred, what liabilities are being excluded, what records must be reviewed, and what risks may affect the value or operation of the business after closing. For sellers, the firm helps structure the transaction, define the assets being sold, limit post-closing exposure, and document the transfer in a clear and enforceable agreement.
This service is especially valuable for transactions involving adult paysites, clip stores, content libraries, affiliate programs, creator platforms, production companies, domains, billing relationships, and software assets. Silverstein Legal helps clients address the legal, payment, intellectual property, and compliance issues that are unique to adult-industry transactions.
