1. The service
Yapbook ("we", "us") is a website that turns a chat export from WhatsApp, Telegram, Instagram or Facebook Messenger into a set of story cards and an optional video, processed on your device. By using Yapbook you agree to these terms. If you don't agree, please don't use it.
2. Free plan
Anyone can make the first five cards for any chat for free, without an account. Free cards and downloads carry a small Yapbook label. We may change what's included for free in the future; changes won't affect Pro purchases you've already made.
3. Yapbook Pro
Yapbook Pro costs US$5, paid once. It unlocks every card for every chat (including a card for each person), the story video, colour themes and downloads without the label. It isn't a subscription and never renews. "Lifetime" means for as long as we operate Yapbook. Sales tax or VAT may be added at checkout depending on where you live.
4. Payments
Payments are processed by Polar Software Inc. ("Polar"), which acts as the merchant of record for Yapbook purchases. Polar handles your payment details, tax and receipts, and its own buyer terms also apply to your purchase. We never see or store your card details.
5. No refunds
All sales are final. Because Pro unlocks immediately and you can try the free cards on your own chat before buying, we don't offer refunds, except where a refund is required by the law that applies to you. If you think you've been charged in error, contact us at tinyusefulthings003+yapbook@gmail.com and we'll look into it.
6. License keys
After you buy Pro you receive a license key. It's for you personally: you may use it on your own phones and computers, but please don't share or publish it. We may disable a key that's being shared widely, or if the payment is reversed.
7. Your chats and other people
Only use exports of chats you're a member of, and follow the rules of the messaging app they come from. The cards show the names, emoji and words people used in the chat. You're responsible for how you share them; please be kind, and don't share cards in a way that would embarrass or harm someone. Yapbook is for fun: the superlatives and the "group personality" are light-hearted labels based on counting messages, not judgements about anyone.
8. Accuracy
Yapbook counts what's in your export. Exports can be incomplete (for example, when media or older messages are left out, or messages were deleted), and formats differ between apps, phones and languages, so numbers may not match what you remember exactly.
9. Not affiliated
Yapbook is an independent product. It isn't affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by WhatsApp, Telegram, Instagram, Facebook Messenger or Meta. Their names are used only to describe which exports Yapbook can read.
10. Availability and changes
We work to keep Yapbook available, but we don't guarantee it will always be available or free of errors. We may improve, change or stop parts of the service. If we ever shut Yapbook down completely, we'll give at least 30 days' notice on the website.
11. Liability
Yapbook is provided "as is". To the extent the law allows, we aren't liable for indirect or consequential losses arising from your use of the service, and our total liability to you is limited to the amount you paid us. Nothing in these terms limits rights you have under consumer law that can't be limited.
12. Changes to these terms
We may update these terms. The date at the top shows when they last changed.
