Terms of Service
Y Not You Media, LLC
Effective Date: August 18, 2026
1. Agreement to These Terms
These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of www.ynotyoumedia.com and any related sites we operate (the "Site"), and your purchase or use of any services, deliverables, or memberships we provide (collectively, the "Services").
By accessing the Site, submitting an inquiry, purchasing a membership, or engaging us for Services, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy at www.ynotyoumedia.com/privacy-policy, which is incorporated here by reference. If you do not agree, do not use the Site or the Services.
If you are entering into these Terms on behalf of a company or other organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization, and "you" refers to that organization.
2. Who We Are
The Site and the Services are provided by Y Not You Media, LLC, a New York limited liability company doing business as Y Not You ("Y Not You," "we," "us," or "our").
3. Eligibility and Acceptable Use of the Site
You must be at least 18 years old to use the Site, purchase Services, or hold a membership. The Site is intended for business users.
You agree not to use the Site or the Services to violate any law, infringe anyone's rights, transmit malware, attempt to gain unauthorized access to our systems or accounts, scrape or harvest data at scale, or interfere with the operation of the Site or the Services.
4. Services We Provide
We operate in three distinct areas. Different terms apply to each, and the scope of what you receive is defined by your engagement documents, not by this section.
a. Advisory Services. Strategic advisory engagements delivered on a recurring or fixed-term basis, which may include Fractional CMO, Fractional COO, Business Growth Advisory, and AI and Automation Advisory. Advisory engagements deliver assessment, strategy, roadmaps, recommendations, documentation, and ongoing counsel.
b. Project Services. Execution work delivered against a defined scope, which may include content creation, video production, social media management, paid advertising, and the design and build of AI and automation systems.
c. Community Memberships. Paid subscription communities we operate on third-party platforms, currently including The Business Collective, hosted on Skool. Membership provides access to community content, recorded and live sessions, resources, and group discussion.
We may add, modify, or discontinue any Service. Where a change materially affects an active engagement or membership, we will provide reasonable notice.
5. Engagement Documents and Order of Precedence
Advisory and Project Services are governed by a written proposal, statement of work, order form, or similar engagement document that you accept ("Engagement Document"). The Engagement Document defines scope, deliverables, timeline, fees, and payment schedule.
These Terms apply to every engagement. If a signed Engagement Document conflicts with these Terms, the Engagement Document controls, but only as to the specific conflicting provision and only for that engagement. Everything not addressed in the Engagement Document is governed by these Terms.
Where these Terms and the Privacy Policy conflict on how we handle personal information, the Privacy Policy controls. Where they conflict on anything else, these Terms control. Order of precedence is therefore: signed Engagement Document, then the Privacy Policy on personal information questions, then these Terms.
No change to an Engagement Document is binding unless agreed in writing by both parties. Email confirmation is sufficient.
6. Community Memberships
a. Subscription and Billing. Memberships are billed in advance on a recurring basis at the price disclosed at signup. Unless stated otherwise at the point of purchase, memberships bill monthly and renew automatically until cancelled. Billing is processed by the hosting platform or its payment processor, not by us directly.
b. Cancellation. You may cancel at any time. No notice period is required. To cancel, use the cancellation function in your account on the hosting platform, or email us at info@ynotyoumedia.com and we will process it. Cancellation takes effect at the end of your current paid billing period. Your access continues through that period.
c. Refunds. Because access continues through the end of the period you paid for, membership fees already charged are not refunded on a prorated basis when you cancel. If a billing error results in a charge after you have cancelled, we will refund it in full.
d. Price Changes. We may change membership pricing. Any price change applies only to billing periods beginning at least thirty (30) days after we notify you by email. If you do not want to continue at the new price, cancel before it takes effect.
e. Member Conduct. Membership is personal to you and may not be shared, resold, or transferred. You agree not to record, download, republish, or redistribute member-only content, session recordings, or downloadable resources outside the community. You agree not to harass other members, post unlawful or infringing material, or use the community primarily to solicit other members for unrelated commercial purposes.
f. Suspension and Removal. For a first or minor violation of Section 6(e), we will give you notice and a reasonable opportunity to correct it. For a repeat violation, or for conduct that is unlawful, abusive, harassing, or that exposes us or other members to legal risk, we may suspend or remove your membership immediately. If we remove you for cause under this subsection, fees for the then-current billing period are forfeited and are not refunded, and no further charges will be made.
g. Content You Post. You retain ownership of what you post in the community. You grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, display, and distribute that content within the community for the purpose of operating it, including after you leave, so that discussion threads remain intact for other members. We do not use member posts in external marketing without your permission.
h. Platform Dependence. Our communities are hosted on third-party platforms. Your use of those platforms is also governed by their own terms and privacy policies. Because billing and account access are administered through the platform, we are not responsible for platform outages, feature changes, or platform-level account actions.
7. Client Responsibilities
a. Accurate Information. You agree to provide accurate, current information and to notify us promptly of changes that affect the work.
b. Credentials and Access. To deliver certain Services, we may need access to your accounts, platforms, or systems. You are responsible for granting access lawfully and for ensuring you have the right to grant it. Where a platform supports delegated or role-based access, we will use that method rather than shared passwords.
c. Revocation on Termination. When an engagement ends, you are responsible for revoking or changing any credentials or access you provided to us. We will also remove our access on request.
d. Backups. You are responsible for maintaining your own backups of your content, data, and accounts. We are not a backup service. Our retention obligations after an engagement ends are limited to those in Sections 16(e) and 19(e).
e. Cooperation and Timeliness. Our timelines assume reasonable responsiveness from you, including timely review, approvals, feedback, and delivery of materials. Delays caused by you may shift deadlines. Where the Engagement Document is silent, a delay of more than thirty (30) consecutive days caused by you entitles us to reschedule the work and to invoice for work completed to date.
f. Rights in Your Materials. You represent that you own or have the right to use any content, data, logos, footage, trademarks, or other materials you provide to us, and that our use of them as directed by you will not infringe the rights of any third party.
g. Legal and Regulatory Compliance. You are responsible for ensuring that your business, offers, claims, testimonials, endorsements, email and text messaging practices, and marketing comply with the laws and regulations that apply to you and your industry. Where we produce materials on your behalf, we will follow reasonable disclosure practices, but final legal review of published claims is yours.
8. Client Accounts and Platform Assets
You own and retain ownership of your business accounts and digital property, including your domains, DNS, websites, advertising accounts, business manager accounts, tracking pixels, analytics properties, social media profiles, email and CRM lists, API keys, and automation workspaces, regardless of who created or configured them.
Where we build or configure something inside an account we own, we will tell you before doing so, and on request at any time, including after termination, we will transfer it to an account you own or provide the files and configuration needed for you to rebuild it. Where a third-party platform prohibits transfer, we will say so at the outset.
We will not hold your accounts, data, or platform assets as leverage in a fee dispute.
9. Advertising and Media Spend
This section applies where we manage paid advertising for you.
a. Account and Funding. Unless agreed otherwise in writing, advertising is run in an account you own and funded by a payment method you control. You are responsible for all media spend charged by the platform.
b. Authorization Limits. You will approve a spend level in writing, whether monthly, per campaign, or per flight. We will not exceed an approved spend level without your written approval. Email is sufficient.
c. Pause on Request. We will pause or stop spend on your written request as promptly as the platform allows.
d. Fees and Markup. Our management fee is stated in the Engagement Document. We do not add undisclosed markup to media spend. Any markup or blended rate, if used, will be disclosed in the Engagement Document.
e. Platform Decisions. We do not control ad approval, disapproval, account suspension, delivery, auction dynamics, or attribution reporting. We are not liable for losses arising from platform decisions or from discrepancies between platform reporting and your own analytics.
10. Fees, Invoicing, and Refunds
a. Invoicing. Unless the Engagement Document states otherwise, advisory retainers are invoiced in advance of the service period, and project work is invoiced per the schedule in the Engagement Document. Payment is due upon receipt unless other terms are stated.
b. Late Payment. Invoices unpaid more than fifteen (15) days past the due date may accrue interest at 1.5% per month, or the maximum permitted by law if lower. We may suspend Services and withhold delivery of undelivered work product while an invoice is materially past due, after giving you notice and a reasonable chance to cure. This does not permit us to withhold anything covered by Section 8.
c. Refunds on Delivered Work. Fees for work already performed or delivered are non-refundable.
d. Prepaid and Unearned Fees. If an engagement terminates before the end of a period you have prepaid, we will refund the unearned portion, calculated pro rata against work performed. This applies whether you or we terminate, except where we terminate for cause under Section 25(c), in which case unearned fees are credited against amounts you owe before any refund is issued.
e. Duplicate or Erroneous Charges. If you are charged in error or charged twice, notify us and we will refund the incorrect amount promptly.
f. Expenses. Third-party costs incurred on your behalf, including media spend, software licenses, stock assets, and platform subscriptions, are your responsibility and are separate from our fees unless the Engagement Document expressly includes them.
g. Taxes. Fees are exclusive of applicable sales, use, or similar taxes, which are your responsibility where they apply.
h. Chargebacks. If you dispute a charge, contact us first. Initiating a chargeback without first giving us a reasonable opportunity to resolve the issue is a material breach of these Terms.
11. Acceptance, Revisions, and Change Requests
a. Revisions. The Engagement Document states the number of revision rounds included. Where it is silent, project deliverables include two (2) rounds of consolidated revisions within the original scope.
b. Acceptance. You have ten (10) business days from delivery to accept a deliverable or to submit consolidated written revision requests. If you do neither within that window, the deliverable is deemed accepted. Publishing, distributing, or otherwise putting a deliverable into use also constitutes acceptance.
c. Change Requests. Work outside the agreed scope, additional revision rounds, and rework caused by a change in your direction after approval are billable at our then-current rates or by a written change order.
12. Third-Party Platforms and Tools
Delivery of the Services frequently depends on third-party platforms, including but not limited to social media networks, advertising platforms, scheduling and collaboration tools, community platforms such as Skool, workspace and documentation tools such as Notion, automation platforms such as Zapier, Make, and n8n, and AI providers.
Your use of those platforms is governed by their terms and privacy policies, not ours. We do not control their availability, pricing, policies, algorithms, APIs, or account decisions. Changes made by a third-party platform may affect the performance, cost, or continued operation of work we deliver, and we are not liable for those changes. Where a change materially breaks something we built, we will tell you and quote any remediation work separately unless the Engagement Document provides for ongoing maintenance.
13. Subcontractors, Personnel, and Non-Solicitation
a. Subcontractors. We may engage independent contractors, specialists, or subcontracted account managers to perform portions of the Services. We remain responsible for the Services delivered, and we bind such personnel to confidentiality obligations consistent with these Terms.
b. Staffing. Advisory engagements are delivered by the firm rather than by any named individual. We do not guarantee that a specific person will perform any specific portion of the work, unless the Engagement Document says otherwise.
c. Non-Solicitation. During an engagement and for twelve (12) months after it ends, you agree not to directly or indirectly solicit for employment or engagement, or hire, any of our employees or contractors who performed work for you, without our prior written consent. This does not restrict general public job postings that are not targeted at our personnel. If you hire such a person in breach of this subsection, you agree to pay us a placement fee equal to thirty percent (30%) of that person's first-year compensation, which the parties agree is a reasonable estimate of our loss and not a penalty.
14. Non-Exclusivity and Conflicts
Our engagements are non-exclusive. We serve multiple clients, including clients in the same industry as you. Nothing in these Terms prevents us from providing similar Services to others, or from using the general knowledge, skills, and experience we gain.
We will not disclose your Confidential Information to another client, and we will not staff the same individual on two directly competing accounts without telling you. If you require a formal exclusivity or conflict-screening commitment, it must be stated in the Engagement Document and may affect pricing.
15. Artificial Intelligence and Automation
We use artificial intelligence tools in the ordinary course of delivering the Services, and AI and automation systems are themselves part of what we advise on and build.
a. Use of AI Tools. We may use AI tools for research, drafting, analysis, content production, and the design and operation of automation systems. Where we do, information you provide may be processed by third-party AI providers under their terms. We will use providers that do not train their models on customer data by default, or will configure available settings to that effect, unless you direct otherwise.
b. Your Review Obligation. AI-assisted output can contain errors, omissions, outdated information, or fabricated details. You are responsible for reviewing and approving all deliverables before you publish, distribute, rely on, or act on them.
c. No Warranty of Accuracy or Originality. Beyond the limited warranty in Section 22(a), we do not warrant that AI-assisted output is accurate, complete, or unique to you. Similar output may be generated for others.
d. Automation Systems. Automations we build depend on third-party APIs, credentials, integrations, and account states that we do not control. We do not warrant uninterrupted operation. Unless the Engagement Document includes an ongoing support or maintenance period, an automation is delivered as of the handoff date and monitoring and maintenance are your responsibility thereafter. We will document the system at handoff so that you or another provider can maintain it.
e. Your Instructions. If you direct us to use AI in a particular way, to process particular data, or to publish AI-assisted output, you are responsible for ensuring that doing so complies with the laws, platform policies, and contractual obligations that apply to you.
f. Restrictions You Impose. If your business, clients, or regulators restrict the use of AI on your data or materials, tell us in writing before the engagement begins so we can scope accordingly.
16. Intellectual Property and Ownership of Work Product
a. Your Materials. You retain all rights in the content, data, brand assets, and materials you provide. You grant us a license to use them as needed to perform the Services.
b. Deliverables. Upon full payment of all fees due for the applicable engagement, you own the final deliverables we create specifically for you under that engagement. This includes advisory reports, assessments, roadmaps, written recommendations, process and system documentation, content, creative assets, video, and the specific configuration of automations built for your business. Ownership is subject to Sections 16(c), 16(d), and 17.
c. Our Underlying Materials. We retain all rights in the generalized materials we bring to the engagement or develop for reuse across clients, including our frameworks, methodologies, blank templates and report structures, prompt libraries, reusable automation patterns, internal tooling, training materials, and know-how ("Y Not You IP"). Y Not You IP means the underlying reusable form, not the completed deliverable populated with your business, which is yours under Section 16(b). Where a deliverable incorporates Y Not You IP, you receive a perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive, transferable license to use, modify, and continue using that Y Not You IP as part of that deliverable, including by a successor to your business or by another provider you engage. You may not extract Y Not You IP from the deliverable and resell, sublicense, or distribute it as a standalone product or service.
d. Third-Party Components. Deliverables may include third-party assets such as stock media, fonts, software, or platform features licensed under their own terms. Those terms carry through to you, and we will identify material ones at delivery.
e. Hosting and Handoff. Where we host a deliverable on our infrastructure or accounts as part of an engagement, hosting continues only for the term stated in the Engagement Document. At the end of an engagement, and for ninety (90) days afterward, we will provide you with source files, exports, and reasonable migration assistance on request at no charge. After that window we will still assist where practical, at our then-current rates, but we do not guarantee retention.
f. Feedback. If you give us suggestions about our own services, processes, or tools, we may use them without obligation to you.
17. Promotional and Marketing Use
You grant Y Not You a perpetual, worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive license to reproduce, display, host, and distribute work product we created for you, together with your name, logo, and trademarks, for our own advertising, promotional, and marketing purposes. This includes our website, portfolio, case studies, proposals, decks, social media, paid advertising, community and educational content, and award or press submissions.
For the purposes of this section only, the following are not Confidential Information: your name, logo, and trademarks; the existence and general nature of our engagement; deliverables that are already public or that you have published; and outcome descriptions that do not disclose your non-public financial figures, customer data, pricing, or strategy.
Anything outside that list remains Confidential Information under Section 18. Where a case study, testimonial, or promotional item would disclose Confidential Information, including revenue figures, margins, customer lists, or unpublished strategy, we will obtain your written approval before publishing it. Approval by email is sufficient.
Recordings and transcripts of calls and working sessions are excluded from this license. We will not use them, or clips from them, in marketing without your separate written permission. Community sessions announced in advance as recorded and publishable are the exception.
This license survives the end of your engagement. You may request in writing that we withhold specific items, or that we anonymize your identity. We will honor reasonable written requests going forward and will remove the item from properties we control within thirty (30) days. We are not required to retrieve materials already distributed in placements we do not control.
18. Confidentiality
Each party may receive non-public information from the other that is marked confidential or that a reasonable person would understand to be confidential, including business plans, financials, customer data, strategies, pricing, and technical information ("Confidential Information").
Each party agrees to protect the other's Confidential Information with at least reasonable care, to use it only to perform or receive the Services or as expressly permitted by Section 17, and not to disclose it to third parties except to personnel and subcontractors who need it and are bound by comparable obligations.
These obligations do not apply to information that is or becomes public through no fault of the receiving party, was already known without a duty of confidence, is independently developed, or is rightfully received from a third party. A party may disclose Confidential Information where required by law, and will give the other party notice where legally permitted.
These obligations continue for three (3) years after the engagement ends, and indefinitely for trade secrets.
19. Client Data and Data Protection
a. Roles. Where we process personal data on your behalf in delivering the Services, you are the controller or business, and we act as your processor or service provider. We process that data only on your documented instructions and to deliver the Services.
b. No Sale or Unrelated Use. We do not sell or share your client data, and we do not use it for our own commercial purposes, for cross-context behavioral advertising, or to train our own models.
c. Security. We maintain reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards appropriate to the data we handle, including access controls, multi-factor authentication where available, and least-privilege access.
d. Incidents. If we become aware of a security incident affecting your data in our possession, we will notify you without undue delay and cooperate reasonably in your response.
e. Return and Deletion. On written request at any time, and in any event within ninety (90) days after an engagement ends, we will return or delete your personal data in our possession, except for copies retained in routine backups or as required by law.
f. Supplemental Terms. If your regulatory posture requires a formal data processing agreement, business associate agreement, or similar instrument, we will negotiate one in good faith. Where executed, it controls over this Section 19 as to the data it covers.
20. Accessibility and Regulatory Compliance of Published Materials
Unless the Engagement Document expressly includes accessibility conformance work, we do not warrant that websites, content, video, or materials we produce conform to WCAG, ADA, or similar accessibility standards. If accessibility conformance is a requirement for you, tell us before the engagement begins so it can be scoped, tested, and priced. Ongoing accessibility of your published properties is your responsibility, since content changes after handoff.
The same applies to industry-specific regulatory review, including financial, healthcare, legal, and other regulated advertising. We follow reasonable practices, but we do not perform regulatory or legal clearance of published claims unless it is expressly scoped.
21. No Guarantee of Results, and No Professional Advice
a. No Guarantee of Results. We do not guarantee any specific business outcome. Revenue, growth, leads, engagement, reach, rankings, conversion rates, cost per acquisition, efficiency gains, and hours saved depend on factors outside our control, including your market, your execution, your team, your pricing, your product, competitor behavior, platform algorithms, and economic conditions. Any figures, benchmarks, case studies, or examples we share describe past results for other businesses and are not a promise, projection, or guarantee of what you will achieve.
b. Not Licensed Professional Advice. Our Services are business advisory and execution services. Nothing we provide constitutes legal, accounting, tax, investment, insurance, medical, or other licensed professional advice, and no fiduciary, attorney-client, or similar relationship is created. You should engage qualified licensed professionals for those matters and should not act on our recommendations in those areas without doing so.
c. Decisions Are Yours. We advise. You decide. You remain solely responsible for the business decisions you make, whether or not they follow our recommendations.
22. Limited Warranty, Disclaimers, and Limitation of Liability
a. Limited Warranty. We warrant that the Services will be performed in a professional and workmanlike manner, consistent with generally accepted industry standards, by personnel with appropriate skill and experience. If we breach this warranty and you notify us in writing within thirty (30) days of the affected delivery, we will re-perform the deficient work at no additional charge. If we cannot reasonably do so, we will refund the fees paid for that work. This is your exclusive remedy for breach of this warranty.
b. Disclaimer. Except for the warranty in Section 22(a) and any express commitment in an Engagement Document, the Site, the Services, and all deliverables are provided "as is" and "as available." To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all other warranties, express or implied, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, and uninterrupted or error-free operation.
c. Exclusion of Indirect Damages. To the fullest extent permitted by law, neither party is liable to the other for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, lost revenue, lost data, lost business opportunity, or business interruption, even if advised of the possibility.
d. Cap on Liability. Subject to Section 22(e), our total aggregate liability arising out of or relating to the Site, the Services, or these Terms will not exceed the greater of (i) the total fees you actually paid to us in the six (6) months immediately preceding the event giving rise to the claim, or (ii) two thousand five hundred dollars ($2,500).
e. Exclusions from the Cap. Section 22(d) does not apply to: our breach of Section 18 (Confidentiality) or Section 19 (Client Data and Data Protection); our indemnification obligation under Section 23; or liability that cannot be limited under applicable law, including liability for fraud, willful misconduct, or gross negligence.
f. Allocation of Risk. The parties acknowledge that these limitations are a fundamental basis of the bargain and are reflected in our pricing.
g. Time Limit on Claims. Except for payment obligations, neither party may bring a claim arising out of these Terms more than one (1) year after the claim accrues, to the extent permitted by law.
23. Indemnification
a. By You. You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Y Not You Media, LLC and its members, officers, employees, and contractors from any third-party claim, demand, loss, liability, damage, or expense, including reasonable attorneys' fees, arising out of or relating to: (i) materials, content, data, claims, or instructions you provide, approve, or direct; (ii) your breach of these Terms or of any representation you make in them; (iii) your violation of applicable law or of a third-party platform's terms; or (iv) your infringement or misappropriation of a third party's rights. This obligation does not apply to the extent the claim arises from our negligence, willful misconduct, or breach of these Terms.
b. By Us. We agree to defend, indemnify, and hold you harmless from any third-party claim that a deliverable we created infringes or misappropriates that third party's intellectual property rights. This obligation does not apply to the extent the claim arises from your materials, from content or direction you supplied, from your modification of a deliverable, or from your use of a deliverable in combination with something we did not provide.
c. Process. The indemnified party will give prompt written notice of the claim, allow the indemnifying party to control the defense, and cooperate reasonably. The indemnifying party will not settle in a way that imposes a non-monetary obligation on the indemnified party without consent.
24. Insurance
Each party will maintain commercially reasonable insurance appropriate to its business. On written request, we will provide a certificate of insurance evidencing the coverage we carry. If your procurement process requires specific coverage types or limits beyond what we carry, tell us before the engagement begins so it can be addressed in the Engagement Document.
25. Term and Termination
a. Term. These Terms apply while you use the Site and for the duration of any engagement or membership.
b. Termination for Convenience. Either party may terminate an engagement as provided in the Engagement Document. If the Engagement Document is silent, either party may terminate for convenience on thirty (30) days' written notice. Section 10(d) governs prepaid fees.
c. Termination for Cause. Either party may terminate immediately on written notice if the other materially breaches these Terms or an Engagement Document and fails to cure within fifteen (15) days of notice. We may terminate immediately, without a cure period, for non-payment beyond thirty (30) days, for conduct that exposes us to legal risk, or for abusive conduct toward our team.
d. Effect of Termination. On termination, fees for work performed through the termination date become due. We will deliver work product that has been paid for in full, and will comply with Sections 8, 16(e), and 19(e). You will revoke access as described in Section 7(c).
e. Survival. The following survive termination: Sections 6(e), 6(f), 6(g), 7(c), 7(d), 7(f), 8, 10, 13(c), 15(b) through 15(e), 16, 17, 18, 19(e), 20, 21, 22, 23, 26, 29, 30, and any other provision that by its nature should survive.
26. Reviews and Public Statements
You are free to publish honest reviews, opinions, ratings, and other assessments of Y Not You and our Services, including negative ones, on any platform. We do not restrict that right, we will not condition any refund, discount, or service on the removal or alteration of a review, and nothing in these Terms should be read to do so.
Nothing in these Terms limits either party's rights under applicable law with respect to knowingly false statements of fact, disclosure of the other party's Confidential Information in breach of Section 18, or content that infringes intellectual property rights.
27. Copyright Complaints
If you believe content on the Site or in a community we operate infringes your copyright, send a notice to info@ynotyoumedia.com identifying the work, the location of the material, your contact information, and a statement of good-faith belief that the use is unauthorized. We will investigate, remove infringing material where appropriate, and terminate the access of repeat infringers. Where content sits on a third-party platform, that platform's own process may also apply.
28. Force Majeure
Neither party is liable for delay or failure to perform caused by events beyond its reasonable control, including natural disasters, fire, flood, epidemic or public health emergency, war, terrorism, civil unrest, labor disputes, government action or restriction, utility failure, internet or telecommunications outage, cyberattack, and failures or discontinuations of third-party platforms or services. The affected party will give prompt notice and use reasonable efforts to resume. Payment obligations for work already performed are not excused. If a force majeure event continues for more than sixty (60) days, either party may terminate the affected engagement, and Section 10(d) governs prepaid fees.
29. Dispute Resolution, Governing Law, and Venue
a. Informal Resolution First. Before starting a formal proceeding, the parties agree to attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute by direct discussion within thirty (30) days of written notice of the dispute. Any applicable limitations period is tolled during that thirty-day window.
b. Governing Law. These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of New York, without regard to conflict of laws principles.
c. Venue. Subject to Section 29(d), any legal action must be brought in the state or federal courts located in Westchester County, New York. Both parties consent to that jurisdiction and venue.
d. Arbitration Option. Either party may elect to resolve a dispute by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Commercial Arbitration Rules, seated in Westchester County, New York, before a single arbitrator. The election must be made within thirty (30) days after a complaint or demand is served, and is waived if not made in that window. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
e. Injunctive Relief. Either party may seek injunctive relief in court to protect intellectual property or Confidential Information without waiving Section 29(d).
f. Small Claims. Either party may bring a qualifying claim in small claims court.
g. Jury Trial Waiver. To the fullest extent permitted by law, each party waives the right to a jury trial in any action arising out of these Terms.
30. General Provisions
a. Entire Agreement. These Terms, the Privacy Policy, and any applicable Engagement Document are the entire agreement between the parties on their subject matter, and supersede prior discussions, proposals, and agreements, including the Terms of Service dated January 1, 2025.
b. Severability. If any provision is held unenforceable, it is modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, or severed, and the rest remains in effect.
c. No Waiver. Failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of it.
d. Assignment. Neither party may assign these Terms without the other's written consent, except that either party may assign to a successor in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of substantially all assets.
e. Independent Contractors. The parties are independent contractors. These Terms do not create a partnership, joint venture, employment, or agency relationship.
f. No Third-Party Beneficiaries. These Terms benefit only the parties.
g. Notices. Legal notices to us must be sent to info@ynotyoumedia.com and to our mailing address below. Notices to you may be sent to the email address associated with your account or engagement. Notice is effective on delivery, or on the next business day if sent by email outside business hours.
h. Electronic Communications and Signatures. You consent to receive communications from us electronically and agree that electronic acceptance, including clicking to accept, replying by email, or using the Services, has the same legal effect as a handwritten signature.
i. Export and Sanctions. You represent that you are not located in, and are not acting on behalf of a party located in, a country or region subject to comprehensive U.S. sanctions, and that you are not on any U.S. restricted-party list.
j. Headings. Headings are for convenience and do not affect interpretation.
31. Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms. The current version will always be posted on this page with a new effective date. Changes apply prospectively.
For material changes affecting an active engagement or membership, we will provide reasonable advance notice by email or through the Site. Your continued use of the Site, Services, or membership after the effective date constitutes acceptance. If you do not accept a change, your remedy is to stop using the Services and cancel or terminate as provided in these Terms.
