TERMS OF SERVICE

WELCOME TO YIAMI!

Thank you for signing up to use Yiami (“Yiami,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), a platform dedicated to promoting positive social connections and new friendships. The Yiami app (“Platform”) is operated and managed by Animic S.r.l., a company incorporated under the laws of Italy, with registered office at Via Venti Settembre, 3 – Postal Code 00187, Rome (RM), Italy – VAT number 17764741009.

Yiami enables you to meet new people in a safe, fun, and respectful environment. Yiami is not a dating app or a matchmaking service.

By using Yiami, you agree to these Terms of Service (“Terms”), our Privacy Policy, and our Community Guidelines. If you don’t agree, please do not use Yiami.

To use Yiami, you must:

  • Be at least 18 years old.
  • Have the capacity to form a legally binding contract.
  • Not be prohibited by any applicable law from using our Services.
  • Have not been convicted of any violent, sexual, or serious offense.

We reserve the right to request proof of eligibility.

When creating an account, you agree to:

  • Provide accurate, current, and complete information.
  • Maintain the confidentiality of your login credentials.
  • Notify us immediately of any unauthorized use of your account.

You are responsible for all activities that occur under your account.

You can create an Account by using your Google or Apple Account login details. By using your Google or Apple login details, you authorize us to access, display and use certain information from your Google or Apple account (e.g. email address). For more information about what information we use and how we use it, please check out our Privacy Policy. By using our App, you acknowledge that we may collect and use of your data and information in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

Unfortunately, we cannot allow you to use another person’s Yiami account or to share your Yiami account with any other person without permission. You are responsible for ensuring that any use of your account complies with these Terms.

You agree to use Yiami in a respectful, lawful, and safe manner. By using the Services, you represent and warrant that your activities are lawful in every jurisdiction where you access or use the Services. Specifically, you will not:

  • Harass, intimidate, threaten, or abuse others.
  • Upload or share content that is unlawful, discriminatory, hateful, violent, or sexually explicit.
  • Impersonate any person or entity or falsely state your affiliation.
  • Use bots, crawlers, or scraping tools.
  • Collect or solicit personal data from other users.
  • Comply with all applicable laws, rules, and regulations, and refrain from violating or infringing the rights of any third party.

Violations may result in suspension, termination, or legal action. 

Yiami may send you emails, text messages, push notifications, alerts, and other communications about the App and our Services, including updates, promotions, and event invitations. After downloading the App, you can choose to allow or deny push notifications. If you allow them, you may later opt out by adjusting your device settings.

The Yiami App also uses your device's location services (such as GPS, Bluetooth, and Wi-Fi) to help you discover other Users, Businesses, Hubs, Groups and Events nearby, and to match you with people and activities close to you. If you disable location services or deny location access, certain features may not function properly. The App may allow access to or make available opportunities for you to view certain content and receive other products, services and/or other materials based on your location. If you have set your mobile device to disable GPS, Bluetooth or other location determining software or do not authorise the App to access your location data, you will not be able to access such location-specific content, products, services and materials. For more details about how we collect, use, and store your location data, please refer to our Privacy Policy.

Yiami grants you a limited, non-exclusive, revocable license to access and use our Services.

You agree not to:

  • Decompile, reverse engineer, or disassemble any part of Yiami.
  • Circumvent, disable, or otherwise interfere with security-related features.
  • Reproduce, duplicate, copy, sell, or exploit any part of Yiami without express written permission.

Yiami does not conduct criminal background checks. You are solely responsible for your interactions with other users. Exercise caution, use good judgment when interacting online and offline.

You may access and use Yiami’s core Services free of charge. However, certain premium features, content, or functionalities may be available exclusively through paid subscriptions or one-time purchases ("Paid Features"). If you choose to access these Paid Features, the following terms apply:

  • Subscription Terms and Pricing

Details of subscription tiers, pricing, and billing cycles will be clearly disclosed at the point of purchase. All prices are subject to change, but you will be notified in advance of any pricing changes that may affect your current subscription.

  • Auto-Renewal and Cancellation

Subscriptions automatically renew at the end of each billing cycle unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You may cancel your subscription at any time through your device’s platform settings (e.g., Apple App Store or Google Play Store). Deleting the app or disabling your account does not cancel your subscription.

  • Payment Authorization and Processing

By making a purchase, you authorize Yiami or its designated third-party payment processors to charge the selected payment method (such as credit card, debit card, PayPal account, or in-app purchase platform). If your payment method fails or is declined, you agree to promptly pay all outstanding amounts upon demand. Yiami is not responsible for any bank fees, currency conversion charges, or transfer fees imposed by your financial institution.

  • In-App Purchases and Third-Party Platforms

Payments made through Apple’s App Store or Google Play Store are processed by those respective platforms. Yiami does not control their billing systems and cannot issue refunds for purchases made through them. Any refund requests must be directed to the platform provider (Apple or Google). Yiami does not store or process your payment information directly.

  • Account Status After Subscription Cancellation

Because Yiami’s Services can be used without a subscription, canceling your subscription does not automatically delete your profile or account. To remove your profile, you must delete your account through the app “Profile”.

  • Free Trials and Promotional Offers

Yiami may offer free trials or promotional pricing from time to time. At the end of the trial or promotional period, the standard subscription rate will apply unless canceled beforehand. Only one trial per user may be permitted unless otherwise stated.

Yiami may update these Terms periodically. Material changes will be communicated through the App or via email. Continued use of Yiami after changes are made constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms.

  • Suspension and Termination by Yiami

We reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to suspend, disable, or terminate your access to your Account and/or our Services at any time and without notice if we reasonably believe that you have violated these Terms, our Privacy Policy, or our Community Guidelines, or if your behavior poses a risk of harm, loss, or liability to Yiami, its users, or third parties. Yiami may suspend and/or terminate access to the App and/or the Account, or some of its functionalities, in situations related to maintenance or updates and/or dependent on causes beyond Yiami's control.

  • Account Deletion by User

You may delete your Account at any time by accessing the ‘Account’ page within the app when logged in and clicking the ‘Delete Account’ link. Once your Account is deleted, you will lose access to your Account and any associated information, content, or features.

  • Effect of Termination

Termination of your Account or these Terms will result in the immediate revocation of access to our Services and the deletion of your Account data, subject to our data retention practices as described in the Privacy Policy. You acknowledge that termination may involve permanent loss of your Account and all associated content. 

  • Data Retention and Deletion

Upon Account deletion or termination, your personal information will be maintained and deleted in accordance with our Privacy Policy. We may retain certain information as required by law or for legitimate business purposes, such as fraud prevention, dispute resolution, or enforcement of our agreements.

Notwithstanding the termination of your Account or these Terms, the following provisions will continue to apply and remain in effect: ownership rights, warranty disclaimers, indemnity obligations, limitations of liability, dispute resolution terms, and any other provisions which by their nature are intended to survive termination.

Yiami provides Services “as is” and “as available” without warranties of any kind.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Yiami disclaims all warranties, express or implied, and is not liable for:

  • Any user conduct or User Content posted, transmitted, or otherwise made available via the Services;

  • Dealings, communications, or transactions with marketing partners, advertisers, or other third parties found on or through our Platform.
  • Any deletion, requested by the same or by businesses, of the data communicated during registration or subsequently may make it impossible for Yiami to guarantee the continuation of the Service in the event that the data whose deletion is requested are considered essential for the purposes of the Service itself. 

To the extent permitted by applicable law, Yiami’s total cumulative liability to you for any and all claims arising out of or relating to these Terms, your use of the Platform, or your reliance on the Services will not exceed the greater of: (a) the total amount you paid to Yiami, if any, in the twelve (12) months preceding the claim; or (b) one hundred Euros (€100).

You acknowledge and agree that your use of the Services is at your sole risk. You are solely responsible for your interactions with other users and for exercising caution in all interactions, whether online or offline.

All the actions you make and information you post on Yiami remain your responsibility. Therefore, you agree to indemnify, defend, release, and hold us, and our partners, licensors, affiliates, contractors, officers, directors, employees, representatives and agents, harmless, from and against any third party claims, damages (actual and/or consequential), actions, proceedings, demands, losses, liabilities, costs and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) suffered or reasonably incurred by us arising as a result of, or in connection with:

  1. any negligent acts, omissions or willful misconduct by you;
  2. your access to and use of the App;
  3. the uploading or submission of Content to the App by you;
  4. any breach of these Terms by you; and/or
  5. your violation of any law or of any rights of any third party.

ANNEX 1 – YIAMI COMMUNITY GUIDELINES

Yiami is more than an app, it’s a social movement built on authenticity, kindness, and meaningful encounters.
These Community Guidelines are part of your agreement with us and reflect the spirit of our “Socializing Game Rules” that guide behavior on and off the platform.

By using Yiami, you agree to respect these principles to keep the community positive, safe, and real.

1. 🎭 No Pics – Be Real, Not Filtered

  • Connections are based on what you bring to the table, not your looks.
  • Selfies, swiping culture, and visual judgments are out.
  • Be authentic — Yiami is about who you are and what you are looking for, not how you look.

2. 🚫 No Bias, No Labels – Be Open-Minded

  • Ditch stereotypes.
  • Don’t judge others based on race, gender, background, identity, orientation, or ability.
  • Connect through shared purpose, values, and vibe — not appearances or assumptions.

pastedGraphic.png

3. 📅 Meet right away or in a Week – Keep It Moving

  • No endless chatting with no action.
  • We encourage real connections, and challenge you to meet (safely) right away or within a week.
  • Use caution and good judgment when you meet other users in person.
  • Meet in public places first and inform a friend or family member of your plans.
  • Stalling, ghosting, or endlessly texting without intent goes against the Yiami spirit.

4. 🧠 No Ego, No Status – Ditch the Flex

  • Status symbols, bragging, or clout-chasing have no place here.
  • Keep things genuine and raw — we value real talk, not curated feeds.
  • Use truthful information about your interests, activities, and intentions.

5. 🛡 Stay Safe – Verified Only

  • Only verified users are allowed.
  • If you feel unsafe, report it.
  • Yiami may review private messages if needed to protect users from abuse, exploitation, or harm.
  • Report any concerns about safety immediately through the in-app reporting tools or to yiami@yiami.app.

6. 💖 Respect & Be Open – No Hate, Just Kindness

  • Hate speech, harassment, bullying, or abuse = instant removal.
  • Respect boundaries, identities, and different perspectives both online and offline.
  • Kindness is your secret weapon — use it liberally.

pastedGraphic.png

7. Seize the Moment – Make It Epic

  • Spontaneity is encouraged.
  • Life’s too short for endless scrolling and swiping
  • Lean into real-life experiences. Be present. Go outside. Say yes to serendipity.

pastedGraphic.png

8. 🚫 What’s Not Allowed — Zero Tolerance For:

  • Illegal content, child exploitation, or hate groups
  • Unsolicited sexual content or harassment
  • Scams, impersonation, spam, or fake accounts
  • Discrimination, shaming, or identity-based attacks
  • Violence or threats (on or off the platform)
  • Posting others’ private data without permission
  • Organizing events, groups, or activities that conflict with Yiami’s community mission

9. 🧾 Accountability & Action

  • Breaking these rules may lead to:
    • Content removal
    • Warnings or temporary bans
    • Permanent account deletion
    • Legal reporting (for serious violations)
  • We may act on off-platform behavior (e.g. at Yiameet or on third-party messaging apps) if it harms members or violates our standards.
