Terms of Service

You must be at least 18 years of age to create an account or use the Service. The Service is intended for adults only. If we learn that an account belongs to someone under 18 we will terminate it and delete the associated personal information. See our Privacy Policy for our practices regarding minors.

You agree to provide accurate registration information, keep your credentials confidential, enable two-factor authentication when offered, and accept responsibility for all activity on your account. You may not impersonate any person or entity, create accounts for prohibited persons (including those subject to U.S., UK, EU, or UN sanctions), or operate more than one account to evade enforcement.

Subject to your continued compliance with these Terms, we grant you a personal, limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable license to access and use the Service for lawful personal, non-commercial purposes. All rights not expressly granted are reserved.

You retain ownership of the content you create or upload to the Service ("User Content"). You alone are responsible for User Content and the consequences of posting it. By making User Content available on the Service, you grant Blossom Interactive LLC a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable, transferable license to host, store, cache, reproduce, publish, publicly perform, publicly display, reformat, translate, excerpt, distribute, and otherwise use that User Content solely for the purpose of operating, providing, improving, promoting, and developing the Service. This license terminates when you delete the User Content, except (a) to the extent required for backup, audit, legal, or anti-abuse purposes, and (b) for sublicenses already granted to other users who reshared, quoted, or saved your content while it was public.

You represent and warrant that (i) you own or have the necessary rights to your User Content and to grant the above license, and (ii) your User Content and our authorized use of it will not infringe or misappropriate the rights of any third party.

You agree not to upload, post, transmit, or otherwise make available any content or conduct that:

• Sexually exploits, endangers, or depicts minors in any way. Suspected child sexual abuse material is reported to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) and equivalent authorities worldwide.
• Constitutes harassment, stalking, threats, incitement, or targeted abuse of any person or group.
• Promotes terrorism, organized violence, mass-casualty attacks, or violent extremism, or that glorifies the perpetrators of such acts.
• Constitutes hate speech, including content that dehumanizes, demeans, or promotes violence or discrimination on the basis of race, ethnicity, national origin, caste, religion, sex, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, disability, or serious medical condition.
• Reveals another person's private personal information, including residential address, phone number, government ID, financial accounts, private images, or location data ("doxxing").
• Is sexually explicit, pornographic, or otherwise NSFW. The Service is not a venue for adult content.
• Infringes any patent, trademark, trade secret, copyright, right of publicity, or other intellectual property right. See our DMCA Policy.
• Constitutes spam, scams, deceptive advertising, pyramid schemes, fraudulent giveaways, fake engagement, or coordinated inauthentic behavior.
• Distributes malware, viruses, phishing links, or any code designed to interfere with software or hardware.
• Attempts to evade, defeat, or interfere with our security, rate limiting, content moderation, or anti-abuse systems, or that scrapes the Service without our express written permission.
• Violates any applicable law or regulation in your jurisdiction or the jurisdiction from which the content is accessible.

You also agree not to (a) sell, lease, or sublicense access to your account, (b) use the Service to develop a competing product, (c) reverse engineer or attempt to extract source code (except to the extent this restriction is prohibited by law), or (d) use automated systems (bots, crawlers) without our prior written permission.

We may, but are not obligated to, monitor User Content. We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to remove or restrict any User Content, to suspend or terminate any account, and to cooperate with law enforcement. Threads that exceed defined report thresholds or community downvote thresholds are automatically hidden pending human review. Repeat violators will be permanently removed. You may appeal a moderation decision by emailingappeals@joinyourspace.org; we aim to respond within 14 days. EU users have additional rights under the EU Digital Services Act (Regulation 2022/2065), including the right to refer disputes to a certified out-of-court dispute settlement body listed at our DSA point of contact:dsa@joinyourspace.org.

Sparks are an in-app virtual currency used to tip other users, send awards, and unlock cosmetic profile elements. Sparks are licensed, not sold, to you. They have no monetary value, are not property, are not redeemable for cash or any other currency, are not transferable between accounts except through in-app gifting features, cannot be inherited or bequeathed, and confer no ownership interest of any kind. We may add, remove, modify, expire, or revalue Sparks or any award, cosmetic, or perk at any time without liability. All purchases of Sparks, award packs, and cosmetic items are FINAL and NON-REFUNDABLE, and any unused Sparks are forfeited on account termination, except where a refund is required by non-waivable consumer-protection law in your jurisdiction.

YourSpace+ is an optional auto-renewing paid membership billed at the price displayed at checkout (currently US $9.99/month or US $74.99/year) through Stripe on the web, through Apple in-app purchases inside the iOS app, and through Google Play in-app purchases (processed via RevenueCat) inside the Android app when it launches. YourSpace+ renews automatically at the then-current price until you cancel. Membership fees are FINAL and NON-REFUNDABLE, in whole or in part, including for unused time, features you did not use, downgrades, plan changes, price changes you disagree with, deleted or suspended accounts, or partial months or years, except where a refund is required by non-waivable consumer-protection law. You may cancel any time from Settings → YourSpace+; cancellation stops future renewals and you keep member benefits through the end of the paid period. EU/UK consumers expressly consent that performance of paid digital content begins immediately upon purchase and thereby waive the statutory 14-day right of withdrawal under Article 16(m) of EU Directive 2011/83 and equivalent UK legislation. Apple and Google Play purchases are additionally governed by those stores' policies and refunds for those purchases must be requested through Apple or Google directly. Each successful YourSpace+ monthly billing cycle grants the member 1,500 Sparks; the yearly plan grants 15,000 Sparks at purchase and on each annual renewal. These membership-granted Sparks are a promotional benefit tied to an active paid period, are non-refundable, have no cash value, and — like all Sparks — remain licensed under the terms above.

Recipient payouts from tipped Sparks and awards follow published in-app rates: tips currently credit the recipient 100% of the Sparks sent (YourSpace takes no cut on tips), and awards currently credit the recipient 60 Sparks per 100 Sparks spent (90 per 100 for YourSpace+ members) with the remainder burned. Payouts are also subject to applicable taxes and withholding, identity verification, anti-fraud review, and minimum payout thresholds. You are solely responsible for any taxes on amounts you receive. Payment processing is performed by Stripe or Google subject to their terms. We may withhold, delay, reverse, or cancel any payout we reasonably believe to be fraudulent, in breach of these Terms, or required to be withheld by law.

The Service includes automated systems that rank and personalize feeds, notifications, recommendations, and the News tab based on your stated interests, on-platform behavior, and signals like upvotes, follows, and saves. Per Article 27 of the EU Digital Services Act, you can modify these signals at any time from Settings → Interests and from your account preferences.

YourSpace AI is an optional in-app assistant available from the search bar and the dedicated /ask page. Prompts you submit are sent to Google's Gemini family of large language models, accessed through our hosting provider's AI gateway. Conversations are stored only on your own device (browser localStorage) and can be cleared at any time from Settings → Clear AI history.AI can and does make mistakes. Outputs are probabilistic, may be inaccurate, incomplete, outdated, biased, offensive, or entirely fabricated ("hallucinations"), and are not professional medical, legal, financial, tax, mental-health, or safety advice. Do not rely on YourSpace AI, AI-generated translations, AI-generated summaries, or any automated moderation or ranking output for decisions where accuracy matters — verify independently and consult a qualified professional. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Blossom Interactive LLC is not liable for any loss, damage, or claim arising from reliance on AI-generated output, translations, or third-party model behavior. We do not use your YourSpace content or messages to train third-party AI models.

News headlines, summaries, and place pages are aggregated from third-party sources including RSS feeds from major publishers and content from Wikipedia, which is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 license. Original copyright remains with the source publishers. We do not claim ownership of headlines or article summaries and are not responsible for the accuracy or availability of third-party content.

The Service may also display embedded content from third parties (YouTube, Vimeo, Twitch, Spotify, GIPHY/Klipy). We do not control and are not responsible for third-party content, websites, or services. Your use of them is governed by their own terms and privacy practices.

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service at any time, with or without notice, including for violation of these Terms, suspected fraud, risk to other users, or as required by law. You may terminate your account at any time from joinyourspace.org/delete-account. Deletion is irreversible and immediately purges your profile, posts, comments, votes, follows, direct messages, group chats, Space chats, and Sparks balance. End-to-end encrypted message bodies are cryptographically unrecoverable once deleted. We retain anonymized moderation logs and financial records for the periods required by applicable law. Sections that by their nature should survive termination will survive, including ownership, indemnity, disclaimers, limitations of liability, and dispute resolution.

The Service is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, and any warranty arising from course of dealing or usage of trade. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, secure, error-free, free of viruses, or accurate.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, in no event will Blossom Interactive LLC, its officers, directors, employees, agents, licensors, or suppliers be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, revenue, data, goodwill, or other intangible losses, arising out of or related to the Service, whether based in contract, tort, statute, or otherwise, even if advised of the possibility of such damages. Our aggregate liability for all claims relating to the Service will not exceed the greater of (a) USD $100 or (b) the amount you paid us in the twelve months preceding the claim.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law, including liability for gross negligence or wilful misconduct, or statutory consumer rights of UK, EU, Australian, and Canadian consumers.

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Blossom Interactive LLC and its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or in any way connected with (i) your User Content, (ii) your use of or access to the Service, (iii) your violation of these Terms, or (iv) your violation of any law or the rights of a third party.

YourSpace is a user-generated content platform. To the maximum extent permitted by law, we act only as a neutral intermediary and are protected by Section 230 of the U.S. Communications Decency Act (47 U.S.C. § 230), the DMCA Safe Harbor (17 U.S.C. § 512), Articles 4–6 of the EU Digital Services Act, and equivalent intermediary-liability laws worldwide. We do not endorse, screen, or pre-moderate User Content.

These Terms and any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service (including their formation, existence, validity, interpretation, performance, breach, or termination, and including non-contractual disputes) are governed by the laws of the State of Florida, USA, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles and excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. Subject to the binding arbitration agreement below, any action, suit, or proceeding of any kind not subject to arbitration shall be brought EXCLUSIVELY in the state or federal courts located in Pinellas County, Florida, and each party irrevocably consents to personal jurisdiction and venue there and waives any objection based on forum non conveniens, inconvenient forum, or improper venue. If you file, join, or maintain a lawsuit against Blossom Interactive LLC in any other forum in breach of this exclusive-venue clause, you agree to pay Blossom Interactive LLC's reasonable attorneys' fees, court costs, and travel expenses incurred to enforce this clause and dismiss or transfer that action, to the fullest extent permitted by law.

You and Blossom Interactive LLC agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service will be resolved by binding individual arbitration administered by JAMS under its Streamlined Arbitration Rules, seated in Pinellas County, Florida, in the English language. You and YourSpace waive any right to a jury trial and waive any right to participate in a class action, class arbitration, mass arbitration, or representative proceeding. Where more than 25 similar demands for arbitration are filed against Blossom Interactive LLC by the same or coordinated counsel within a 60-day period, the parties agree JAMS may administer them in sequenced batches to promote efficient resolution.

30-day opt-out: You may opt out of this arbitration agreement within 30 days of first accepting these Terms by emailing legal@joinyourspace.org with the subject line "Arbitration Opt-Out" and your account handle. Opting out does not affect any other provision of these Terms.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may (a) bring an individual action in small-claims court for claims within that court's jurisdiction, and (b) seek injunctive or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to protect its intellectual-property rights. Residents of the European Union, the United Kingdom, Switzerland, Brazil, and other jurisdictions whose law mandates a local forum may bring claims in the courts of their country of residence; nothing in these Terms displaces consumer-protection rights you cannot waive by contract.

We may modify these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we will provide reasonable notice (at least 14 days for material changes) via in-app banner or email before they take effect. Your continued use of the Service after the effective date constitutes acceptance.
