These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of YOU — Your Own Universe ("YOU", "we", "us", or the "Service"), including our website at iamyouapp.com and the YOU mobile application. By creating an account, accessing, or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms, our Community Guidelines, and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to these Terms, please do not use the Service.
You must be at least 13 years of age to create a YOU account. If you are between 13 and 18 (or the age of legal majority in your jurisdiction, if older), you may use the Service only with the consent and supervision of a parent or legal guardian who has read and agreed to these Terms on your behalf.
Mature or adult-oriented content is restricted to users who have confirmed they are 18 or older. We do not knowingly permit minors to access mature-rated content. By using the Service, you confirm that you meet these age requirements and that any age information you provide is accurate. Providing false age information is a violation of these Terms and may result in termination of your account.
You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account and for all activity that occurs under your account. You must provide accurate and complete information when creating your account, and you must not share your login credentials with anyone else. You must notify us promptly if you believe your account has been compromised.
You may delete your account at any time through the app settings, or by following the process described on our account deletion page. Upon deletion, your personal data is handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy.
You retain ownership of the content you post to YOU, including Moments, clips, comments, and other material ("User Content"). By posting User Content, you grant YOU a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, display, distribute, and promote your User Content through the Service, and to use it in connection with features you have enabled (such as replays of your live streams). This license ends when you delete the content or your account, except for content shared with others that they have re-shared and for reasonable backup copies.
You are solely responsible for the User Content you post and for ensuring it complies with these Terms, our Community Guidelines, and applicable law. You must have all rights and permissions needed to post the content you share, including the consent of anyone who appears in it.
You may not use the Service to post, stream, or engage in any of the following:
The full, detailed rules are described in our Community Guidelines, which form part of these Terms.
When you go live on YOU, your broadcast is transmitted in real time and may be recorded and made available as a replay. By initiating a broadcast, you consent to this recording and to the availability of the replay on the Service.
You are responsible for ensuring your live content complies with these Terms, our Community Guidelines, and applicable law — including not broadcasting while driving, not streaming dangerous activities, not revealing the exact location of private residences, and not showing people without their knowledge or consent. We may end broadcasts, remove replays, and restrict streaming access for violations.
YOU offers monetization features for eligible creators, including tips, subscriptions from supporters, and payouts. Participation in the Creator Program is subject to eligibility requirements, which we may establish and update. Payouts are processed through Stripe, and creators must complete Stripe's onboarding process, including identity verification, to receive earnings.
No earnings are guaranteed. Earnings depend on the activity of supporters and viewers, and on the fees, charges, and processing times applied by Stripe and applicable payment networks. We may withhold payouts where reasonably necessary to address fraud, chargebacks, or violations of these Terms. We may modify or discontinue monetization features at any time; where we do so, we will provide notice to affected creators through the Service or by email.
You may be able to purchase subscriptions to individual creators or make other in-app purchases. Purchases made through the Apple App Store or Google Play Store are billed by and subject to the terms of those platforms, including their payment, refund, and cancellation policies. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled before the renewal date through your app store account settings.
Subscriptions provide access to a creator's subscriber content while the subscription is active. Access ends when a subscription lapses or is cancelled, or when the creator removes the content or their account. If you believe a charge was made in error, contact the app store through which you made the purchase, or contact us for assistance.
Forecasts and Decisions on YOU are social features for sharing opinions and predictions about everyday life. They are provided for entertainment and community engagement only. They are not financial instruments, investment products, betting, or gambling, and nothing in them constitutes financial, legal, or professional advice.
Reputation points earned through these features are a measure of community standing. They have no monetary value, cannot be purchased, sold, or exchanged for cash or any other currency, and have no effect on payouts.
We may remove content, restrict features, or suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms or our Community Guidelines. We may also take these steps where we reasonably believe it is necessary to protect the safety of our community, to comply with the law, or to prevent harm. Serious violations — particularly those involving child safety — result in immediate termination.
If your content is removed or your account is restricted and you believe this was a mistake, you may appeal by contacting support@iamyou.app. Appeals are reviewed manually. You may stop using the Service and delete your account at any time. Sections of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination (including content licenses already granted, disclaimers, and limitations of liability) will survive.
The Service is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or secure, or that any defect will be corrected.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, YOU, its operators, and its suppliers shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, data, goodwill, or other intangible losses, arising from or relating to your use of the Service. Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law.
Your privacy matters to us. Our Privacy Policy describes what personal data we collect, how we use and protect it, the service providers we rely on, and the rights and choices available to you. It forms part of these Terms.
We may update these Terms from time to time. When we make material changes, we will notify users through the Service or by other means, and we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Your continued use of the Service after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms. If you do not agree to the updated Terms, you should stop using the Service and may delete your account.
For questions about these Terms, please contact us at support@iamyou.app. For safety concerns, see the reporting options in our Community Guidelines and Child Safety Standards.
