Terms of Use
The short version
- You must be 13 or older to use Youri.
- You own what you post. You give us permission to host and show it so Youri can work.
- Zero tolerance for objectionable content and abusive users. You can report or block anyone. We review reports within 24 hours and remove content and ban offenders.
- Youri isn't a store. Retailers sell the products, and some links earn us a commission at no cost to you.
- Youri Fund and group gifting point to outside payment apps. We don't handle that money.
- AI gift ideas are suggestions, not guarantees. Double-check sizes and allergies.
- Subscriptions renew automatically until you cancel, and you can cancel anytime. You keep access until the end of the period you paid for, and we don't refund partial periods except in the cases listed in Section 12.3. Refunds for App Store purchases go through Apple.
- Texas law applies. Disputes go to the state or federal courts in Tarrant County, Texas, or to small-claims court (see Section 22).
1. Agreement to these Terms
These Terms of Use (“Terms”) are a legal agreement between you and Youri LLC, a Texas limited liability company in Fort Worth, Texas (“Youri,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). They cover the Youri iOS app (and the Android app when available), the Youri web app and websites at myyouri.com, Youri Business, and shared pages we host such as event invitations, RSVP pages, and shared wishlists (together, the “Service”).
By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to these Terms, our Privacy Policy, and our Affiliate Disclosure. If you don't agree, don't use the Service.
2. Eligibility
- You must be at least 13 years old. We don't allow accounts for children under 13.
- If you're under 18 (or the age of majority where you live), you may use Youri only with the involvement and permission of a parent or guardian, who agrees to these Terms on your behalf. In the EEA and UK, if you're under your country's age of digital consent (up to 16), a parent or guardian must consent to your use.
- You can't use Youri if you've been banned from it, or if you're barred from using it by law.
- To buy paid features or run a Youri Business account, you must be 18 or older and able to form a binding contract.
- If you use Youri on behalf of a business, you confirm that you have authority to bind that business to these Terms, and “you” includes the business.
3. Your account
- You can sign up with email and password, Sign in with Apple, or Google. Give accurate information and keep it up to date.
- Keep your login secure. You're responsible for activity on your account. Tell us right away at support@myyouri.com if you suspect unauthorized access.
- One person, one personal account. Don't share, sell, or transfer accounts.
- Usernames that impersonate others, infringe trademarks, or are offensive may be reclaimed or changed.
- You can delete your account at any time in the app (Settings → Delete account). See the Privacy Policy for what's deleted.
4. The Service
Youri helps you keep wishlists, remember the people you care about and their tastes (Gift DNA™), get gift ideas and personalized picks, plan events and collect RSVPs, organize group gifts, share a Youri Fund, post and chat on Connect, and (for businesses) host catalogs and promotions.
- Features may change, be added, or be removed. Some features are in beta or private beta (for example, the web app, where new sign-ups are currently disabled) and may be less reliable.
- Some features have usage limits, such as daily limits on AI ideas or product searches.
- We grant you a personal, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the Service for your own non-commercial use (or, for Youri Business accounts, your business's use) in line with these Terms.
5. Your content
“Your Content” means anything you submit to Youri: profile details, photos, videos, wishlists, Gift DNA, posts, comments, polls, messages, event details, business catalogs, and so on.
- You own Your Content. We don't claim ownership.
- License to Youri. You give Youri a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable (to our service providers) license to host, store, copy, process, adapt (for example resizing images or generating previews), display, and distribute Your Content, only as needed to operate, provide, secure, and improve the Service and as your settings allow. For public content (such as public profiles, public wishlists, and Connect posts), this includes showing it to other users and on shareable web pages. This license ends when you delete the content or your account, except for content others have already shared or saved, copies kept as described in our Privacy Policy, and where we must keep it for legal reasons.
- Your responsibility. You confirm you have the rights to post Your Content, and that it doesn't break these Terms or the law. You're responsible for Your Content.
- Feedback. If you send us ideas or suggestions, we can use them without owing you anything.
- We don't pre-screen all content and aren't responsible for content posted by others, but we may review, remove, or restrict any content at any time (see Section 6).
6. Community Standards: zero tolerance
Youri is about celebrating people. We have zero tolerance for objectionable content and abusive users. You may not post, send, or share content that:
- harasses, bullies, threatens, stalks, intimidates, or encourages harm against anyone;
- is hateful or discriminatory based on race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, caste, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, disability, or serious disease;
- is sexually explicit or pornographic, or sexualizes minors in any way (we report child sexual exploitation material to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children and law enforcement);
- shows or promotes graphic violence, self-harm, suicide, terrorism, or violent extremism;
- is defamatory, or discloses someone's private information without permission (for example addresses, financial details, or private photos);
- promotes illegal activity, illegal drugs, weapons sales, or regulated goods;
- is spam, scams, fraud, phishing, pyramid schemes, or misleading payment requests;
- impersonates a person or organization, or misrepresents your affiliation; or
- infringes someone's intellectual property, privacy, or publicity rights.
Reporting and blocking
- Report any profile, post, comment, or message from its menu in the app, or email support@myyouri.com.
- Block any user. Blocking removes follow connections between you, hides their content from you, and stops them from messaging you, and stops your profile visits from counting toward each other's view totals.
- We review reports and act on them within 24 hours. When content breaks these standards, we remove it. Users who post objectionable content or abuse others are suspended or permanently removed (“ejected”) from Youri. We may also remove all of their content and prevent them from creating new accounts.
- When you report a message, our moderators may review that message and the surrounding conversation to decide what to do.
- If we take action on your account or content, we'll usually tell you why. You can appeal from the notice in the app. We may act immediately, without notice, in serious cases.
- We may report illegal content or threats to law enforcement.
7. Prohibited conduct
You also agree not to:
- use the Service for anything unlawful, or to violate anyone's rights;
- scrape, crawl, or collect data from the Service, or use bots or automated means to access it, except search engines indexing public pages;
- reverse-engineer, decompile, or try to extract source code, except where the law allows it;
- bypass or interfere with security features, App Check, rate limits, usage limits, or access controls;
- upload viruses or malicious code, or overload or disrupt our systems;
- create fake accounts, inflate views, likes, follows, or reach artificially, or manipulate rankings, sponsored placements, or affiliate tracking;
- send unsolicited bulk messages or commercial spam;
- resell, sublicense, or commercially exploit the Service without our written permission;
- use Youri to build a competing product, or to train AI models on Youri content; or
- help anyone else do any of these things.
8. Information about other people
You can add people you know, import contacts, and save Gift DNA (tastes, sizes, interests, allergies, notes) about them. When you do:
- add only information you have a right to share, and that the person would reasonably be comfortable with you keeping for gifting;
- don't add sensitive information that isn't needed for gifting (for example health conditions beyond simple allergies, financial details, or government ID numbers);
- don't use Youri to track, monitor, or profile anyone for non-gifting purposes; and
- understand that using AI features for someone sends their Gift DNA to our AI provider (see Privacy Policy, Section 5).
9. Shopping, retailers, and affiliate links
- Youri is not the seller. Products shown in Youri are sold by third-party retailers and businesses. Your purchase is a contract between you and the retailer, whose terms, prices, shipping, returns, and warranties apply.
- No guarantees on listings. Prices, availability, images, descriptions, and sizes come from retailers, search providers, and businesses. They can be out of date or wrong. Always check on the retailer's site before you buy.
- Affiliate links. Some links are affiliate links. If you buy through them, we may earn a commission. This doesn't change your price. As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases. Details are in our Affiliate Disclosure.
- Sponsored content. Paid placements are labeled “Sponsored.” A sponsored label doesn't mean Youri endorses the product. Sponsored slots may appear in Picks and are always labeled.
- Ranking. Commissions never affect how products are ranked. Verified price and availability data is one of the signals we use to rank products.
- We're not responsible for retailers' products, services, websites, or conduct. Take any problem with a purchase to the retailer.
10. Youri Fund and group gifting
- Youri Fund lets you list your handles or payment links for outside payment apps (such as Venmo, PayPal, or Cash App) so friends can send you money directly. Group gifting tools help people coordinate who's chipping in.
- Youri does not process, hold, transfer, or guarantee any of these payments. Payments happen entirely in those outside apps, under their terms. We aren't a bank, money transmitter, escrow agent, or payment processor.
- We're not responsible for payments sent to the wrong person, never received, disputed, or misused, or for whether a gift is actually bought with money collected. Only send money to people you know and trust, and check handles carefully.
- Don't use Youri Fund or group gifting for fundraising for unlawful purposes, charitable solicitation that requires registration, scams, or misleading requests.
- You're responsible for any taxes on money you receive.
11. Events, invitations, and RSVPs
- Hosts are responsible for their events, including the accuracy of details, the safety of the venue, and compliance with laws. Youri isn't a party to any event and doesn't verify events, hosts, or guests.
- Event invite links and RSVP pages can be opened by anyone who has the link. Share them only with people you want to invite. Guests who RSVP on the web share their name and response with the host and other guests.
- Event group chats follow the same Community Standards as everything else on Youri.
- Use reminders and calendar features as a helpful aid, not your only reminder. We don't guarantee every notification will arrive on time.
12. Paid features and Youri Business
12.1 Purchases in the iOS app
- Paid features in the iOS app, such as Youri Spotlight, Business Insights Pro, promotions, and post appreciations, are sold through Apple's in-app purchase system and are subject to Apple's terms.
- Auto-renewing subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each period at the price shown at purchase, and your Apple ID is charged within 24 hours before renewal, unless you turn off auto-renew at least 24 hours before the period ends. Manage or cancel in your Apple ID settings (Settings → [your name] → Subscriptions). Deleting the app or your Youri account doesn't cancel an Apple subscription.
- Refunds for in-app purchases are handled by Apple (see Section 12.3).
- Consumable items (such as post appreciations or promotion credits) are used up when delivered, have no cash value, and can't be transferred or exchanged.
12.2 Purchases on the web
- Some business features (such as the Youri Business subscription, Spotlight, and promotions) may be bought on our website. Payments are processed by Stripe. By paying, you also agree to Stripe's terms and privacy policy, and you authorize recurring charges for subscriptions until you cancel.
- Before you buy, we show the price, the billing period, and that the subscription renews automatically until you cancel. Prices may change with notice before your next renewal. You're responsible for applicable taxes.
12.3 Refunds and cancellation
- Subscriptions (such as Youri Spotlight and Business Insights Pro) renew automatically at the end of each period until you cancel. You can cancel anytime. When you cancel, you keep access until the end of the period you've already paid for, and you won't be charged again. We don't give refunds or credits for partial periods or unused time, except where the law requires or as described below.
- How to cancel. App Store purchases are managed by Apple: on your iPhone, go to Settings → [your name] → Subscriptions. Web purchases: cancel online in the billing settings in your Youri account, or email support@myyouri.com and we'll cancel for you. Deleting the app doesn't cancel a subscription.
- App Store purchases. Refunds are handled only by Apple, under Apple's policies. Request one at reportaproblem.apple.com. Youri can't issue, approve, or deny refunds for App Store purchases.
- Web purchases (paid through Stripe). We'll give a full or prorated refund if:
- you were charged in error or charged twice;
- you were charged after you validly cancelled;
- we discontinue a paid feature during a period you've paid for; or
- we terminate your account without cause during a period you've paid for.
- Consumers in the EU and UK have a 14-day right to withdraw from a purchase on our website. For subscriptions and other digital services, if you ask us to start the service right away at checkout, you can still withdraw within 14 days, but you'll pay for the portion of the service you received before withdrawing, and you lose the right to withdraw once the service has been fully provided. For digital content delivered immediately (such as appreciations or promotion credits), you lose the right to withdraw once delivery starts, if you agreed to immediate delivery and confirmed you understood you'd lose that right. To withdraw, email support@myyouri.com within 14 days of purchase. For App Store purchases, Apple handles withdrawal and refunds. These rights are in addition to any other rights you have under local consumer law.
- One-time purchases (such as post appreciations and tips) aren't refundable, except where the law requires or through Apple for App Store purchases.
- Chargebacks. If there's a problem with a charge, please contact support@myyouri.com first. We can usually fix it faster than your bank. We may suspend accounts involved in fraudulent chargebacks.
12.4 Youri Business accounts
- Business accounts must represent a real business, provide accurate business information, and verify their business email.
- You're responsible for your catalog and promotions: accuracy of products, prices, availability, and claims; compliance with consumer protection, advertising, FTC endorsement, product safety, and privacy laws; and the right to use any images, brands, and trademarks you upload.
- Promotions and sponsored placements are labeled “Sponsored.” We may review, reject, pause, or remove any catalog item or promotion that breaks these Terms or our standards, without refund if the content broke these Terms.
- Business Insights show aggregate, de-identified statistics. You may not try to identify individual users from them.
- We don't guarantee any level of views, clicks, saves, or sales from a promotion or placement.
13. AI features
- The Gift Interview, Deep Ideas, and other AI-assisted features use a third-party AI provider (currently OpenAI) to generate questions and suggestions. Nothing is sent to the AI provider until you agree in the app. What's shared is explained in our Privacy Policy.
- AI output may be inaccurate, incomplete, or unsuitable. It's for inspiration only, not professional advice. Always check sizes, allergies, ingredients, age ratings, and product details yourself before buying.
- Don't enter information into AI features that you don't have a right to share, or sensitive information beyond what's needed for gifting.
- Don't use AI features to generate content that breaks these Terms.
14. Messages and chats
- Direct messages and event group chats are private between participants, but they're stored on our servers and aren't end-to-end encrypted.
- We don't routinely read messages. Moderators may review messages that are reported, and we may access messages where needed for safety, to enforce these Terms, or as required by law.
- Only message people who want to hear from you. Unwanted, repeated, or abusive messaging is harassment under Section 6.
15. Youri's intellectual property
The Service, including our software, design, text, graphics, logos, and the names “Youri” and “Gift DNA,” is owned by Youri LLC or our licensors and protected by intellectual property laws. “Youri” and “Gift DNA” are trademarks of Youri LLC. Except for the license in Section 4, we don't give you any rights to it. Don't use our trademarks without our written permission. Product names, logos, and images of third-party retailers and brands belong to their owners.
16. Copyright complaints (DMCA)
We respect intellectual property rights and respond to notices under the U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act. If you believe content on Youri infringes your copyright, send our designated agent a notice that includes:
- your physical or electronic signature;
- a description of the copyrighted work you claim is infringed;
- where the material is on Youri (for example a link or username), in enough detail for us to find it;
- your name, address, phone number, and email;
- a statement that you have a good-faith belief the use isn't authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; and
- a statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in your notice is accurate and that you're the owner or authorized to act for the owner.
Designated Copyright Agent: Copyright Agent, Youri LLC, Fort Worth, Texas, USA. Send written notices by email to support@myyouri.com (subject: “DMCA Notice”).
If your content was removed and you believe it was a mistake or misidentification, you can send a counter-notice with the information required by 17 U.S.C. § 512(g). We terminate the accounts of repeat infringers in appropriate circumstances.
17. Third-party services
Youri links to or works with services we don't control, such as retailers, payment apps, Apple, Google, Stripe, and map services. Your use of them is governed by their terms and privacy policies. We aren't responsible for them.
18. Suspension and termination
- You can stop using Youri and delete your account at any time.
- We may suspend or terminate your account, remove content, or restrict features at any time if you break these Terms (especially the Community Standards), if needed to protect users or Youri, if required by law, or if we discontinue the Service. Where reasonable, we'll give notice and a chance to appeal.
- If we terminate your account for breaking these Terms, you won't get a refund for unused paid features, except where the law requires. If we terminate your account without cause, or discontinue a paid feature, during a period you've paid for, we'll give a prorated refund for web purchases or direct you to Apple for App Store purchases (see Section 12.3).
- Sections that by their nature should survive termination will survive, including Sections 5 (license for content already shared), 9, 10, 15, and 19 through 24.
19. Disclaimers
The Service is provided “as is” and “as available.” To the fullest extent permitted by law, Youri disclaims all warranties, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement. We don't warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, secure, or error-free; that reminders or notifications will be delivered; that gift ideas, AI output, product information, prices, or availability will be accurate; or that any product, retailer, user, event, or payment will meet your expectations.
Some places don't allow these disclaimers, so some of them may not apply to you.
20. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Youri LLC and its members, managers, employees, and agents will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits, revenue, data, goodwill, or gifts, arising out of or relating to the Service, other users' conduct or content, third-party retailers, payment apps, or events, even if we were told they were possible. Our total liability for all claims relating to the Service is limited to the greater of (a) US $100, or (b) the amounts you paid Youri in the 12 months before the claim arose.
Nothing in these Terms limits liability that can't be limited by law, such as liability for gross negligence, willful misconduct, or (where applicable) death or personal injury caused by our negligence. If you're a consumer in the EEA or UK, you also keep your statutory rights.
21. Indemnification
To the extent permitted by law, you agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Youri LLC and its members, managers, employees, and agents from any claims, losses, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from Your Content, your use of the Service, your events, your business account or promotions, your breach of these Terms, or your violation of any law or anyone's rights.
22. Disputes and governing law
22.1 Try to resolve it first
Before filing a claim, email support@myyouri.com with your name, account email, and a description of the issue and the outcome you want. We'll try in good faith to resolve it within 60 days.
22.2 Governing law and venue
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas and applicable U.S. federal law, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. If we can't resolve a dispute informally, you and Youri agree that any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Tarrant County, Texas, and you and Youri consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts.
22.3 Small-claims court
Either party may instead bring an individual claim in a small-claims court that has jurisdiction, if the claim qualifies.
22.4 EEA and UK consumers
If you're a consumer in the EEA or UK, you can also bring proceedings in the courts where you live, and the mandatory consumer laws of your country still apply. Nothing in this section takes away rights you have under those laws.
23. Apple App Store terms
If you downloaded Youri from Apple's App Store, these additional terms apply:
- Agreement. These Terms are between you and Youri LLC only, not Apple Inc. (“Apple”). Youri, not Apple, is solely responsible for the app and its content.
- License scope. Your license to use the app is limited to a non-transferable license to use it on Apple-branded products that you own or control, as permitted by the Usage Rules in Apple's Media Services Terms and Conditions, except that the app may be accessed by other accounts associated with you through Family Sharing or volume purchasing.
- Maintenance and support. Youri is solely responsible for maintenance and support of the app, as described in these Terms or as required by law. Apple has no obligation to provide any maintenance or support for the app.
- Warranty. Youri is solely responsible for any product warranties, express or implied by law, to the extent not effectively disclaimed. If the app fails to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price (if any) of the app to you. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation for the app, and any other claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs, or expenses from a failure to conform to a warranty are Youri's responsibility.
- Product claims. Youri, not Apple, is responsible for addressing any claims by you or a third party relating to the app or your possession or use of it, including (a) product liability claims; (b) any claim that the app fails to conform to any applicable legal or regulatory requirement; and (c) claims under consumer protection, privacy, or similar laws.
- Intellectual property claims. If a third party claims that the app or your possession and use of it infringes their intellectual property rights, Youri, not Apple, is solely responsible for the investigation, defense, settlement, and discharge of that claim.
- Legal compliance. You represent and warrant that (a) you're not located in a country subject to a U.S. Government embargo or designated by the U.S. Government as a “terrorist supporting” country; and (b) you're not listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
- Developer contact. Questions, complaints, or claims about the app can be sent to Youri LLC, Fort Worth, Texas, USA, support@myyouri.com.
- Third-party terms. You must comply with applicable third-party terms (for example, your wireless data service agreement) when using the app.
- Third-party beneficiary. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms, and once you accept them, Apple has the right (and will be deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce these Terms against you as a third-party beneficiary.
If these Terms conflict with Apple's standard Licensed Application End User License Agreement, these Terms apply to the extent allowed by Apple.
24. General terms
- Entire agreement. These Terms, the Privacy Policy, the Affiliate Disclosure, and any terms shown at purchase are the entire agreement between you and Youri about the Service.
- Severability. If any part of these Terms can't be enforced, the rest stays in effect.
- No waiver. If we don't enforce a right, that doesn't mean we've given it up.
- Assignment. You can't transfer your rights under these Terms without our consent. We may transfer ours, for example in a merger or sale.
- Force majeure. We're not liable for delays or failures caused by events beyond our reasonable control.
- Export. You agree to comply with U.S. export and sanctions laws.
- Notices. We may send notices in the app or to your account email. You can send notices to support@myyouri.com.
- Language. If we provide translations of these Terms, the English version controls where the law allows.
25. Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms. We'll change the “Last updated” date, and for material changes we'll give you notice in the app or by email at least 14 days before they take effect, unless a change is needed sooner for legal or safety reasons. If you keep using Youri after changes take effect, you accept them. If you don't agree, stop using Youri and delete your account. Changes to the disputes section won't apply to disputes we already knew about.
