By accessing or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms and the Privacy Policy set forth below. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

We may suspend or disable any account if, in our opinion, you have failed to comply with these Terms.

5. Children's Privacy & Parental Consent (COPPA)

5.1 Parent/Guardian-Created Accounts Only

For children under 13 years of age ("Child" or "Student"), only a parent or legal guardian may create and manage the account. By creating the child's account and agreeing to these Terms and the Privacy Policy, the parent or legal guardian:

  • Confirms they are the child's parent or legal guardian;
  • Provides verifiable parental consent to the child's use of the Service;
  • Agrees to these Terms and the Privacy Policy on the child's behalf; and
  • Authorizes the collection and use of the child's personal information as described in the Privacy Policy and these Terms.

5.2 Parent Rights

Parents/legal guardians may review the child's information, request deletion, revoke consent, or terminate the child's access at any time by contacting jim@ygteev.com. Revoking consent may result in suspension or deletion of the child's account.

5.3 No Direct Sign-Up by Children

Children under 13 must not create accounts or provide personal information directly to YGTeeV without the involvement and consent of a parent or legal guardian. If we learn a child under 13 has created an account without proper parental involvement, we will delete the account and associated information.

6. User Content

The Service may allow you to post, upload, share, or otherwise make available content, including text, images, audio, or video ("User Content"). You retain ownership of your User Content, but grant YGTeeV a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use, reproduce, modify, adapt, and distribute your User Content solely to operate, improve, and provide the Service.

You are solely responsible for your User Content and represent that you have all rights necessary to grant this license. You agree not to post User Content that:

  • Violates any laws or regulations;
  • Infringes third-party rights;
  • Is harmful, offensive, or inappropriate;
  • Interferes with the proper functioning or security of the Service; or
