Last Modified: August 12, 2022

Acceptance of the Terms of Use

These terms of use are entered into between you and YNOT Group LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Company,” “YNOT,” “we,” or “us”). The following terms, together with any documents they expressly incorporate by reference (collectively, “Terms of Use”), govern your access to and use of ynot.com, including any content, functionality, and services offered on or through ynot.com (“Website”), whether as a guest or a registered user.

Please read the Terms of Use carefully before you start to use the Website. By using the Website or by clicking to accept or agree to the Terms of Use when this option is made available to you, you accept and agree to be bound and abide by these Terms of Use. If you do not want to agree to these Terms of Use, you must not access or use the Website.

This Website is offered and available to users who are at least 18-years old, who have reached the age of majority where they live, who reside in jurisdictions that do not prohibit websites with adult-oriented material, and who do not otherwise find adult-oriented material offensive. We forbid all persons who do not meet the age requirements from accessing the Website. By using this Website, you state that you are of legal age to form a binding contract with YNOT and meet all the foregoing eligibility requirements. If you do not meet all these requirements, you must not access or use the Website. If minors have access to your computer, please restrain their access to adult-oriented material by using any of the following products, which we provide for informational purposes only: CYBERsitter™ | Net Nanny® | CyberPatrol | ASACP.

Changes to the Terms of Use

We may revise and update these Terms of Use from time to time in our sole discretion. All changes are effective immediately when we post them and apply to all access to and use of the Website afterwards. But any changes to the dispute resolution provisions set out in Governing Law and Jurisdiction will not apply to any disputes for which the parties have actual notice on or before the date the change is posted on the Website.

Your continued use of the Website after the posting of revised Terms of Use means that you accept and agree to the changes. You are expected to check this page frequently so you are aware of any changes, as they are binding on you.

Accessing the Website and Account Security

We may withdraw or amend this Website, and any service or material we provide on the Website, in our sole discretion without notice. We will not be liable if for any reason any part of the Website is unavailable at any time or for any period. From time to time, we may restrict access to some parts of the Website, or the entire Website, to users, including registered users.

You are responsible for both:

  • Making all arrangements necessary for you to have access to the Website.
  • Ensuring that all persons who access the Website through your internet connection are aware of these Terms of Use and comply with them.

To access the Website or some of the resources it offers, you might be asked to provide certain registration details or other information. It is a condition of your use of the Website that all the information you provide on the Website is accurate. All information you provide to register with this Website or otherwise, including, but not limited to, through the use of any interactive features on the Website, is governed by our Privacy Policy, and you consent to all actions we take as to your information consistent with our Privacy Policy.

If you choose, or are provided with, a username, password, or any other piece of information as part of our security procedures, you must treat that information as confidential, and you must not disclose it to any other person or entity. You also acknowledge that your account is personal to you and must not provide any other person with access to this Website or parts of it using your username, password, or other security information. You must notify us immediately of any unauthorized access to or use of your username or password or any other breach of security. You also must ensure that you exit from your account at the end of each session. You should use particular caution when accessing your account from a public or shared computer so that others are not able to view or record your password or other personal information.

We may disable any username, password, or other identifier, whether chosen by you or provided by us, at any time in our sole discretion for any or no reason, including if, in our opinion, you have violated any part of these Terms of Use.
