These Terms of Service ("Terms") are a binding agreement between you and Aaleeyah Ivy, doing business as Yin Yang ("Yin Yang", "we", "us"). By creating an account or using the Yin Yang website or app (the "Service"), you agree to these Terms, our Privacy Policy and our Community Guidelines. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.
Please read Section 14 carefully. It requires most disputes to be resolved by individual binding arbitration and waives class actions and jury trials, unless you opt out.
1. Who can use Yin Yang
You must be at least 13 years old, or the minimum age required to consent to data processing in your country if higher (for example, 16 in some EU countries). If you are under 18, you confirm a parent or guardian has reviewed and agreed to these Terms. You may not use the Service if you have been previously banned or are barred from it under applicable law.
2. Your account
You are responsible for the accuracy of the information you provide, for keeping your password secure, and for all activity under your account. Tell us promptly at legal@yinyang.app if you suspect unauthorized use. You may delete your account at any time in Settings.
3. Invite-only spaces
Spaces are private groups you join by invite code. Anyone who has a valid code can use it until it expires or reaches its use limit, so share codes only with people you trust. Space owners may remove members. Members of a space can see what you post in it, your display name, city and time zone, and your busy/free times.
4. Your content
You keep ownership of the messages, plans, trips and other content you post ("Your Content"). You grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, store, copy, transmit and display Your Content solely to operate, secure and improve the Service for you and the members of your spaces. This license ends when Your Content is deleted, except for copies kept in backups for a limited time or as required by law. You are solely responsible for Your Content and confirm you have the rights to post it.
5. Acceptable use
You agree not to use the Service to:
- harass, threaten, bully, stalk, defame or discriminate against anyone;
- share content that sexualizes minors, non-consensual intimate imagery, or content promoting violence, terrorism or self-harm;
- violate any law, or anyone's privacy, intellectual property or other rights;
- send spam, malware, scams or unsolicited advertising;
- scrape, reverse engineer, overload or interfere with the Service or its security, or access it by automated means without permission;
- impersonate others or misrepresent your affiliation.
See the Community Guidelines for more detail. We may remove content and suspend or terminate accounts that violate these rules, and we may report illegal content to law enforcement.
6. Reporting and moderation
You can report a message from within a chat. We review reports, but we do not pre-screen content and are not obligated to monitor the Service. We are not responsible for content posted by users.
7. AI suggestions
The Plan feature can use an automated AI model to suggest meeting times based on shared free windows and first names. Suggestions may be inaccurate or incomplete. They are for convenience only; always confirm plans with the people involved.
8. Games
Mini games are for entertainment only. No money, prizes or anything of value may be wagered or awarded through the Service.
9. Trips and plans
Trip planning tools are organizational aids. We do not book travel, verify destinations, or provide travel, safety, health or legal advice. You are responsible for your own travel decisions, documents and safety.
10. Our intellectual property
The Service, including its design, logos, illustrations and software, is owned by us or our licensors and protected by law. We grant you a limited, revocable, non-transferable license to use the Service for personal, non-commercial purposes in line with these Terms.
11. Copyright complaints (DMCA)
If you believe content on the Service infringes your copyright, send a notice to legal@yinyang.app including: your signature; identification of the work; identification and location of the material; your contact information; a statement of good-faith belief that use is unauthorized; and a statement, under penalty of perjury, that the notice is accurate and you are authorized to act. We may terminate repeat infringers.
12. Disclaimers
THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE", WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE, ERROR-FREE, OR THAT CONTENT WILL NOT BE LOST. The Service is not an emergency service; do not rely on it to contact anyone in an emergency.
13. Limitation of liability
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, YIN YANG AND ITS OWNERS, AFFILIATES AND SERVICE PROVIDERS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF DATA, PROFITS, GOODWILL OR REPUTATION, ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THE SERVICE OR ANY USER'S CONDUCT OR CONTENT. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS RELATING TO THE SERVICE IS LIMITED TO THE GREATER OF US $50 OR THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US IN THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so some of these may not apply to you.
Indemnity
You agree to defend, indemnify and hold us harmless from claims, losses and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from Your Content, your use of the Service, or your violation of these Terms or of anyone's rights.
14. Dispute resolution; arbitration; class-action waiver
Informal resolution. Before filing a claim, you agree to email legal@yinyang.app describing the dispute and try to resolve it informally for 30 days.
Arbitration. If not resolved, you and we agree that any dispute arising from these Terms or the Service will be resolved by final, binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, except that either party may bring an individual claim in small-claims court or seek injunctive relief for intellectual property misuse.
Class-action and jury waiver. Claims may be brought only in an individual capacity, not as a plaintiff or class member in any class, consolidated or representative proceeding. You and we waive any right to a jury trial.
Opt-out. You may opt out of this arbitration agreement by emailing legal@yinyang.app within 30 days of first accepting these Terms, with your name, account email and a clear statement that you opt out.
15. Governing law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of New York and applicable U.S. federal law, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Subject to Section 14, the exclusive venue for any proceeding is the state or federal courts located in New York County, New York. If you live in the EU, UK or another place whose laws give you mandatory consumer rights, nothing here limits those rights.
16. Suspension and termination
We may suspend or end your access at any time if you violate these Terms, create risk or legal exposure for us, or if we discontinue the Service. Sections that by their nature should survive (including 4, 10, 12–15) survive termination.
17. Changes
We may update these Terms. If changes are material we will notify you in the app or by email before they take effect. Continued use after the effective date means you accept the updated Terms.
18. General
These Terms are the entire agreement between you and us about the Service. If any provision is unenforceable, the rest remain in effect. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. You may not assign these Terms; we may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition or sale of assets.
