18 U.S.C. 2257 Record-Keeping Requirements Compliance Statement
Last updated: November 13, 2026
1. About Javkan and the Nature of This Library
Javkan is a publicly accessible catalogue and index of commercially released works. It compiles bibliographic information about works (such as titles, release details, performers, and producing studios) and displays cover images obtained from publicly available sources, so that the information can be searched and browsed in one place. Javkan is open to all visitors: there is no membership, no registration, and no invitation system. The site has no upload facility of any kind — neither visitors nor anyone else can submit, post, or publish content to it — and it has no community or social features.
Javkan is an index of information about works, not a source of the works themselves. Javkan does not host, store, stream, download, or play any video file. No video is available from this site.
2. Javkan Is Not a Producer
Javkan is not a "producer," whether primary or secondary, of any visual depiction appearing in or accessible through this library, as those terms are defined in 18 U.S.C. § 2257, 18 U.S.C. § 2257A, and 28 C.F.R. Part 75. Javkan does not film, photograph, produce, or commission the production of any work in its catalogue, and it does not engage performers. Its activities are limited to cataloguing and organising publicly available information and displaying cover images. Javkan produces no content of its own.
3. All Performers Are Adults
Every work catalogued on Javkan is a commercially produced and commercially released work of its respective studio. All performers, actors, actresses, models, and other persons appearing in any visual depiction of actual or simulated sexually explicit conduct catalogued on or accessible through this site were over the age of eighteen (18) years at the time the depiction was created.
4. Where the 2257 Records Are Kept
Because Javkan is not a producer, Javkan does not create or hold the records described in 18 U.S.C. § 2257, § 2257A, and 28 C.F.R. Part 75. Those records — including the documentation of each performer's identity and age — are created and maintained by the original producer of each work, in accordance with the law applicable to that producer.
Each work's page on Javkan identifies the studio (maker) that produced the work. Any request or inquiry concerning the § 2257 records for a specific work should be directed to the producing studio identified on that work's page.
5. Sources, Attribution, and Rights
The bibliographic information and cover images shown on Javkan are drawn from publicly available sources. All works, images, titles, and related materials remain the property of, and all rights in them belong to, their respective producers, studios, and distributors. Their appearance in this catalogue does not transfer or imply any right or licence.
6. Zero Tolerance
Javkan has zero tolerance for:
- any depiction of a minor, or of any person who was under eighteen (18) years of age when the depiction was created; and
- any content created or distributed without the consent of the person depicted.
No such material has a place in this library. Any work found to fall into either category — whether discovered by us or reported to us — will be removed.
7. Reporting Content and Removal
If you believe that a work catalogued on Javkan involves a minor, was made or distributed without consent, or otherwise violates this statement, please report it through the complaint and takedown form on this site, identifying the work (its title or catalogue code and, if possible, its page URL). Reports are reviewed, and a work that is found to violate this statement — or that cannot be cleared — will be removed from the catalogue.
8. Copyright Notices
This statement concerns age-verification record-keeping only. Copyright matters are handled separately: copyright holders or their authorised agents may send notices through the complaint and takedown form, identifying the work concerned (its title or catalogue code and, if possible, its page URL). Notices are reviewed and acted on in accordance with applicable copyright law. Nothing in this section limits any right or remedy available under that law.
9. Scope of This Statement
This statement is made in respect of the record-keeping framework of 18 U.S.C. § 2257, 18 U.S.C. § 2257A, and 28 C.F.R. Part 75. Nothing in this statement waives or limits any exemption available to Javkan under those provisions, including the definitions and exclusions set out in 18 U.S.C. § 2257(h).
10. Contact and Updates
All questions, reports, and notices concerning this statement are handled through the complaint and takedown form on this site; Javkan does not publish an email address for this purpose. This statement may be updated from time to time; the current version, and its date, will always be the one published on this page.
