These are all common-sense rules. All users must abide by them in good faith or risk having their accounts suspended or canceled.

  • Violence and Threats: You may not publish or post direct, specific threats of violence against others.
  • Copyright: We will respond to clear and complete notices of alleged copyright infringement. Our copyright procedures are set forth in the Terms of Service.

  • Unlawful Use: You may not use our service for any unlawful purposes or in furtherance of illegal activities. It is your responsibility to comply with foreign laws and regulations on encryption import, export or use.

TERMS OF SERVICE

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the services, including our websites, Mobile Apps, email notifications, web application, secret messaging system (the "Services" or “YouThisMe®”), and any information, text, graphics, photos or other materials you transmit using Services including text messages, digital media and email (collectively referred to as "Content"). Your access to and use of the Services are conditioned on your acceptance of and compliance with these Terms. When you subscribe to the Services and download the application, you are certifying to YouThisMe® that you are eligible to receive products exported from the United States, without any restrictions. By accessing or using the Services you agree to be bound by these Terms.

1. BASIC TERMS

You are responsible for your use of the Services, for any Content you transmit to others, and for any consequences thereof. The Content is stored in encrypted form on YouThisMe® central computing systems and is not capable of being decrypted without special information created at the time of use. The “innocent” messages (“UTMs,” i.e. messages that cloak your Content) are computer generated and may use randomly selected names, objects and places. UTMs are designed to appear like common sentences, exclamations, or observations. There is no claim to the veracity of the content of UTMs. You are responsible for any consequences of transmitting such UTMs to other parties. You may change the content of UTMs to clarify the nature of your communication to members of a communication group you’ve created (“MyHort®”). The actual content of UTMs, the modifications you make to UTMs, and their reception by MyHort® members, is completely your responsibility. UTMs may be viewed by the outside world since they will appear on SMS client software on cellular phones, mobile devices and other computing devices. Furthermore, UTMs can appear on Twitter®, on Facebook®, or on other postings of your choice on the Internet. Since the content of UTMs is meant to be commonplace and without significance, they can be viewed by others and presumably do not reflect actual intended content of communication. Any UTMs that reflect actual facts or states of affairs by you are entirely coincidental. Services are used by purchasing messages units or time periods for service (“Fees”) as purveyed on our website. Your use of Services will be terminated with no notice if Fees are not paid. You may use the Services only if you can form a binding contract with YouThisMe® and are not a person barred from receiving Services under the laws of the United States or other applicable jurisdiction. If you are accepting these Terms and using the Services on behalf of a company, organization, government, or other legal entity, you represent and warrant that you are authorized to do so. You may use the Services only in compliance with these Terms and all applicable local, state, national, and international laws, rules and regulations. The Services that YouThisMe® provides are always evolving and the form and nature of the Services that YouThisMe® provides may change from time to time without prior notice to you. In addition, YouThisMe® may stop (permanently or temporarily) providing the Services (or any features within the Services) to you or to users generally and may not be able to provide you with prior notice. We also retain the right to create limits on use and storage at our sole discretion at any time without prior notice to you.

2. PRIVACY

Any information that you provide to YouThisMe® is subject to the YouThisMe® Privacy Policy ( here), which governs our collection and use of your information. You understand that through your use of the Services you consent to the collection and use (as set forth in the Privacy Policy) of this information, including the transfer of this information to the United States and/or other countries for storage, processing and use by YouThisMe®. As part of providing you the Services, we may need to provide you with certain communications, such as service announcements and administrative messages. These communications are considered part of the Services and your YouThisMe® account, which you may not be able to opt-out from receiving.

3. PASSWORDS

You are responsible for safeguarding the password that you use to access the Services and for any activities or actions under your password. We encourage you to use "strong" passwords (passwords that use a combination of upper and lower case letters, numbers and symbols) with your account. YouThisMe® cannot and will not be liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to comply with the above.

4. CONTENT ON THE SERVICES

All Content transmitted by you using the Services is the sole responsibility of the person who originated such Content. We may not monitor or control the Content posted via the Services and, we cannot take responsibility for such Content. Any use or reliance on any Content or materials posted via the Services or obtained by you through the Services is at your own risk. We do not endorse, support, represent or guarantee the completeness, truthfulness, accuracy, or reliability of any Content or communications posted via the Services or endorse any opinions expressed via the Services. You understand that by using the Services, you may be exposed to Content that might be offensive, harmful, inaccurate or otherwise inappropriate, or in some cases, messages that have been misaddressed. Under no circumstances will YouThisMe® be liable in any way for any Content, including, but not limited to, any errors or omissions in any Content, or any loss or damage of any kind incurred as a result of the use of any Content posted, emailed, transmitted or otherwise made available via the Services or broadcast elsewhere.

5. YOUR RIGHTS

You retain your rights to any Content you submit, transmit or display on or through the Services. YouThisMe® makes every attempt to insure the secrecy and privacy of your Content. YouThisMe® does not share your registration information or your Content with third parties. You are responsible for your use of the Services, for any Content you provide, and for any consequences thereof, including the use of your Content by other users in your chosen MyHorts®.

6. YOUR LICENSE TO USE THE SERVICES

YouThisMe®gives you a personal, worldwide, royalty-free, non-assignable and non-exclusive license to use the software that is provided to you by YouThisMe® as part of the Services in conjunction with Fees affixed by YouThisMe® for your use of Services. This license is for the sole purpose of enabling you to use and enjoy the benefit of the Services as provided by YouThisMe®, in the manner permitted by these Terms.
