Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using Yap, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Use and by the Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the service.

Accounts and Access

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for activity that occurs under your account. You must provide accurate information and keep your account secure.

Yap may refuse registration, reclaim usernames, or limit access where reasonably necessary to protect the service or its users.

Acceptable Use

  • You may not use Yap for unlawful, harmful, abusive, fraudulent, or infringing activity.
  • You may not interfere with the service, bypass security controls, or attempt unauthorized access.
  • You may not transmit malware, spam, impersonation content, or material that violates the rights of others.
  • You may not scrape, reverse engineer, or exploit the service except where applicable law clearly allows it.

User Content

You retain ownership of content you submit, but you grant Yap a limited license to host, store, process, display, and transmit that content as needed to operate and improve the service.

You are solely responsible for the content you post and confirm that you have the rights necessary to share it.

Suspension and Termination

Yap may suspend, restrict, or terminate access at any time if we believe a user has violated these terms, created security risk, exposed the platform to liability, or harmed other users.

Disclaimers

Yap is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Yap disclaims warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, and uninterrupted availability.

Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Yap and its operators will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for any loss of data, profits, goodwill, or business opportunity arising from use of the service.

If you plan to launch commercially, it is worth adding your business name, governing law, dispute process, and a real support contact so the terms are complete.

Changes to Terms

Yap may update these Terms of Use from time to time. Continued use of the service after changes take effect means you accept the updated terms.
