Ownership.
The Services and all rights therein are and shall remain Yay Portal’s property or the property of Yay Portal’s licensors. Neither these Terms nor your use of the Services convey or grant to you any rights:
User Accounts.
In order to use most aspects of the Services, you must register for and maintain an active personal user Services account (“Account”). You must be at least 18 years of age, or the age of legal majority in your jurisdiction (if different than 18), to obtain an Account.
Account registration requires you to submit to Yay Portal certain personal information, such as your name, address, mobile phone number and age, as well as at least one valid payment method (either a credit card or accepted payment partner).
You agree to maintain accurate, complete, and up-to-date information in your Account. Your failure to do so, including having an invalid or expired payment method on file, may result in your inability to use the Services or termination of these Terms. You are responsible for all activity under your Account and must maintain the security of your credentials. Unless permitted in writing, you may only have one Account.
User Requirements and Conduct.
The Service is not available to persons under 18. You may not authorize others to use your Account, nor allow minors to receive transportation or logistics services unless accompanied by you. You may not assign or transfer your Account to anyone. You agree to comply with all laws and only use the Services for lawful purposes. You must not cause nuisance, inconvenience, or damage. Proof of identity may be requested; failure to comply may lead to denied access.
Text Messaging.
By creating an Account, you agree that the Services may send you text (SMS) messages as part of normal operations. You may opt out anytime by visiting https://yayportal.com/delete-account/. Opting out may affect your ability to use the Services.
Promotional Codes.
Yay Portal may provide promotional codes (“Promo Codes”) for Account credit or other benefits, subject to specific terms. You agree Promo Codes:
User Provided Content.
Yay Portal may allow you to submit content such as feedback, support requests, and promotional entries (“User Content”). You retain ownership of your content, but by submitting it, you grant Yay Portal a worldwide, perpetual, royalty-free license to use, copy, distribute, modify, and display such content in connection with the Services and related platforms.
You represent that you own the content or have the rights to grant this license, and that your content will not infringe or violate any third party’s rights or laws. You agree not to post content that is unlawful, obscene, offensive, or otherwise objectionable. Yay Portal may remove or moderate content at its sole discretion, without notice.
Network Access and Devices.
You are responsible for securing network access. Your data provider’s charges may apply. You must maintain compatible devices and systems to access the Services. Yay Portal does not guarantee performance on specific devices and is not responsible for delays due to internet or electronic communications.
You understand that use of the Services may result in charges to you for the services or goods you receive from a Third Party Provider (“Charges”). After you have received services or goods obtained through your use of the Service, Yay Portal will facilitate your payment of the applicable Charges on behalf of the Third Party Provider as their limited payment collection agent. Payment of the Charges in such manner shall be considered the same as payment made directly by you to the Third Party Provider. Charges will be inclusive of applicable taxes where required by law. Charges paid by you are final and non-refundable, unless otherwise determined by Yay Portal.
You retain the right to request lower Charges from a Third Party Provider for services or goods received by you from such provider at the time you receive them. Yay Portal will respond accordingly to any such request.
All Charges are due immediately and payment will be facilitated by Yay Portal using the preferred payment method designated in your Account. A receipt will be sent by email. If your primary payment method is expired or invalid, you agree that Yay Portal may use a secondary payment method on file, if available.
Yay Portal reserves the right to establish, remove, and/or revise Charges for any or all services or goods at any time in its sole discretion. You acknowledge and agree that Charges in some geographical areas may substantially increase during high demand periods. Yay Portal will use reasonable efforts to inform you of applicable Charges, but you remain responsible for all Charges incurred under your Account.
Yay Portal may occasionally offer promotional discounts or offers to select users. You agree that such promotions do not apply to you unless explicitly offered to you and that they shall not affect your applicable Charges. You may cancel a service request at any time prior to the provider’s arrival, but a cancellation fee may apply.
This payment structure is intended to fully compensate the Third Party Provider. Except for taxicab services requested through the app, Yay Portal does not allocate any portion of your payment as a tip. Any mention that tipping is “voluntary,” “not required,” or “included” does not imply that Yay Portal provides additional amounts beyond what is described above. You are free—but not obligated—to tip any Third Party Provider who offers you services. After receiving services or goods, you may rate your experience and leave feedback.
Repair or Cleaning Fees.
You are responsible for repair or cleaning costs for damages to Third Party Provider vehicles or property that go beyond normal “wear and tear.”
If such a request is verified by Yay Portal, payment will be facilitated using your payment method on file, and the amount will be transferred to the relevant provider.
These charges are non-refundable.
