Explicitly names "escort services" as a prohibited business.
Acceptable Use Policy — Prohibited Businesses
Adult Connections. This includes hookup, swinger, or sexual encounter services as well as escort services. Mail-order bride/spouse finders, international marriage brokers, and other similar sites and services are also prohibited.
Cognito Forms names escort services explicitly under a dedicated "Adult Connections" category. There is zero ambiguity — booking forms for escort services are a direct policy violation.
Acceptable Use Policy — Prohibited Businesses
Mature Content. Pornography and mature audience content (including literature, imagery, and other media) depicting nudity or explicit sexual acts are also prohibited.
Even non-booking content like portfolios or galleries with adult imagery would violate this clause.
Cognito Forms is a US-based form builder popular for its payment integrations and conditional logic. Its Acceptable Use Policy is one of the most explicit in the industry: escort services are banned by name under a dedicated "Adult Connections" category, alongside hookup services, swinger services, and sexual encounter services. This isn't a vague content policy — it's a specific, named prohibition. Cognito Forms is headquartered in the US and its policies reflect US legal attitudes toward sex work. If you're looking for a form builder with similar features (payment collection, conditional logic, calculations), the alternatives below won't ban you for your profession.
