YAP
Terms of use
Draft for Yap’s private beta, last updated October 2026. It describes how Yap works today and will be reviewed before any public launch.
By creating an account or using Yap you agree to these terms.
Who can use Yap
You must be 13 or older. If you’re under the age of digital consent where you live, you need a parent’s or guardian’s permission. One person, one account; keep your password to yourself.
What Yap is (and isn’t)
Yap is a place to discuss movies, TV and sports, live and in threads. It never streams video. Titles, artwork and sports data come from third parties (TMDB, TheSportsDB, Wikidata, Wikimedia Commons, OpenLigaDB, Jolpica) under their own terms, as listed on the About page. Yap isn’t endorsed by them. Videos play in YouTube’s player, under YouTube’s terms.
Your posts
You keep ownership of what you post. You give Yap permission to store it, show it to other people and adapt it for display (for example, blurring it with the spoiler shield) for as long as it’s on Yap. You’re responsible for what you post and for following the Community Guidelines. You can delete your posts, and your whole account, at any time from Settings.
Moderation
Yap’s moderators can remove content, hide it while it’s reviewed, and mute or ban accounts that break the Guidelines. Automatic tools (rate limits, the word filter, report thresholds) do some of this without a person looking first.
The service
Yap is in a private beta. Features can change or stop, data from third parties can be wrong or late, and the service is provided as it is, without warranties, to the extent the law allows. Yap isn’t liable for indirect losses arising from using it.
Changes
If these terms change in a way that matters, we’ll say so in the app before the change applies. Using Yap after that means you accept the new terms.
