Terms of Service

The Basics

By using Us, you agree to the following terms. They're short and written in plain language because we believe that's how it should be.

💕

What Us Is

Us is a private photo diary for couples. You and your partner can share daily check-in photos, reactions, doodles, and reflections in a private space visible only to the two of you.

🔑

Your Account

  • ~You must be at least 17 years old, or the age of majority in your jurisdiction (whichever is higher), to use Us. By creating an account, you confirm you meet this requirement.
  • ~You are responsible for keeping your login credentials secure.
  • ~You can delete your account and all data at any time from Settings.
📸

Your Content

  • ~You own everything you upload — photos, captions, doodles, and reflections.
  • ~By uploading, you grant Us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, sublicensable (only to our service providers listed in our Privacy Policy) license to host, store, cache, back up, reproduce, resize, compress, re-encode, and transmit your Content solely as needed to operate, secure, and improve the Service. We will never display your Content to anyone other than you and your paired partner, and we will never use it to train machine learning models or for advertising. This license ends when you delete the Content or your account, except for residual copies in encrypted backups, which are purged on our standard rotation (see Privacy Policy → Data Retention).
  • ~Do not upload illegal, abusive, or non-consensual content.
  • ~We may remove content that violates these terms.
🛠️

Our Intellectual Property

  • ~The Us app, including its source code, design, user interface, graphics, icons, the name "Us", and the usapp.cool brand, are owned by Ulugbek Asrokulov and protected by copyright, trademark, and other laws.
  • ~We grant you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the app for its intended purpose — a private couples diary.
  • ~You may not copy, modify, distribute, sell, lease, sublicense, reverse-engineer, decompile, or create derivative works based on the app or any part of it, except where this restriction is prohibited by applicable law.
  • ~Any feedback you send us is given voluntarily and may be used by us without obligation or compensation.
🤝

Acceptable Use

  • ~Use Us for its intended purpose — a private couples diary.
  • ~Do not use Us to harass, abuse, or harm anyone.
  • ~Do not attempt to access another couple's data.
  • ~Do not reverse-engineer, scrape, or misuse the service.
💰

About Penalties

The penalty system in Us is entirely symbolic. No real money is charged, collected, or transferred through the app. Penalties simply track a fun amount the couple can choose to spend together later.

📅

Special Dates

  • ~You can add birthdays, anniversaries, and custom dates that appear on your shared calendar.
  • ~Changing the anniversary date requires both partners to agree through the proposal system.
  • ~Special dates are visible only to you and your partner. All special dates are permanently deleted when either partner deletes their account.
🚩

Content Reporting

You can report objectionable content using the report button on any photo. We review all reports and may remove content or suspend accounts that violate these terms.

Copyright Complaints (DMCA)

If you believe content on Us infringes your copyright, send a notice to our designated agent at ul.asrokulov@gmail.com. Under 17 U.S.C. § 512, your notice must include:

  • ~Your physical or electronic signature.
  • ~Identification of the copyrighted work you claim is infringed.
  • ~Identification of the material you want removed and enough information for us to locate it.
  • ~Your contact information (address, phone, email).
  • ~A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use is not authorized.
  • ~A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information is accurate and that you are authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.

We will respond promptly and may remove or disable access to the material. If your account receives repeated valid notices, we may terminate it. If you believe content was removed in error, you may submit a counter-notice to the same address.

🚪

Termination

You may delete your account at any time from Settings. We may suspend or terminate your account if you violate these terms, use the app for abusive purposes, or if required by law. We will attempt to notify you before any termination where possible.

Availability & Disclaimer

Us is provided "as-is" without warranties of any kind, either express or implied, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do our best to keep the service running smoothly but cannot guarantee 100% uptime or that the service will be error-free.

⚖️

Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Us and its developer shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including loss of data, profits, or goodwill, arising out of or related to your use of the Service.

Our total aggregate liability for any claim arising out of or related to the Service shall not exceed the greater of (a) the amount you paid us in the 12 months preceding the claim, or (b) US $100.

Nothing in these terms limits or excludes liability that cannot be limited under applicable law, including liability for gross negligence, willful misconduct, fraud, or death or personal injury caused by our negligence.

🤲

Dispute Resolution & Arbitration

Most issues we can resolve informally — please contact us first at ul.asrokulov@gmail.com and give us 30 days to make it right.

If we can't resolve a dispute informally, you and Us agree that any dispute 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, in San Francisco, California, or another mutually agreed location. The arbitrator's decision will be final and may be enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction.

Class Action Waiver. You and Us agree that disputes will be brought only in an individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any class, collective, or representative action.

30-day Opt-Out. You may opt out of this arbitration agreement by emailing ul.asrokulov@gmail.com within 30 days of first accepting these terms, with the subject line "Arbitration Opt-Out" and your username. Opting out will not affect any other part of these terms.

Exceptions. Either party may bring claims in small-claims court if they qualify, and either party may seek injunctive or equitable relief in court for intellectual property infringement.

🌍

Governing Law & Venue

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, USA, without regard to its conflict of law principles. The UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply.

Subject to the Arbitration section above, any claims that proceed in court must be filed exclusively in the state or federal courts located in San Francisco County, California, and both parties consent to personal jurisdiction there.

📱

Apple App Store

If you downloaded Us from the Apple App Store, you acknowledge and agree that:

  • ~These terms are between you and Ulugbek Asrokulov (the developer), not Apple. Apple is not responsible for the app or its contents.
  • ~Apple has no obligation to furnish any maintenance or support for the app.
  • ~In the event of any failure of the app to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price (if any). To the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation.
  • ~Apple is not responsible for any claims by you or any third party relating to the app, including product liability, failure to conform to legal requirements, or claims under consumer protection or similar legislation.
  • ~Apple is not responsible for the investigation, defense, settlement, or discharge of any third-party intellectual property infringement claim relating to the app.
  • ~You represent that (a) you are not located in a country that is subject to a U.S. Government embargo or designated as a "terrorist supporting" country, and (b) you are not listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
  • ~Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these terms and may enforce them against you.
🧩

General

  • ~Severability. If any part of these terms is found unenforceable, the rest will remain in full effect.
  • ~No Waiver. Our failure to enforce any right is not a waiver of that right.
  • ~Assignment. You may not assign these terms; we may assign them to a successor in a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, with notice to you.
  • ~Entire Agreement. These terms and our Privacy Policy are the entire agreement between you and Us regarding the Service.
📝

Changes to These Terms

We may update these terms from time to time. If we make significant changes, we'll notify you through the app. Continued use of Us after changes means you accept the updated terms.
