Terms of Service
Last updated: July 20, 2026 · Applies to the NayYay app and web app during the private beta.
1. What NayYay is
NayYay lets you record Yay/Meh/Nay verdicts on products, places, dishes, books — almost anything — and share them with friends you explicitly choose. It is operated from Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
2. Beta status
NayYay is a private beta. Features may change or disappear, downtime happens, and despite our best efforts data could be lost. Please don't make NayYay the only home of anything you can't afford to lose. Access during the beta is by invitation and may be limited in numbers.
3. Your account
- You need to be at least 13 to use NayYay.
- Keep your password to yourself; what happens on your account is your responsibility.
- One person, one account.
4. Your content
- Your opinions are yours. You keep ownership of the verdicts, comments, and photos you create.
- You give us the permission needed to operate the service: to store your content, process it (for example, stripping photo metadata, reading a label to identify a product), and show it to the friends you chose to share with.
- Facts you contribute to the shared catalog — a product's name, a restaurant's address, a menu's dishes — become part of the catalog other users can see and rate, and may remain there (severed from your identity) if you delete your account.
5. House rules
- Rate the offering, not the person. Opinions on real, identifiable people are not allowed. A business named after its owner is fine — the line is the offering, not the person.
- Be honest. Fake reviews, spam, and coordinated manipulation defeat the entire point of NayYay and will get an account removed.
- No unlawful, hateful, or harassing content in comments, names, or photos.
- No photos of people without their consent.
- Don't scrape, probe, or attempt to access other users' private data. The database enforces privacy; trying to defeat it ends the relationship.
6. Reporting a problem
If you see content that breaks these rules, or something that looks like a security problem, email support@nayyay.com. Security reports are especially welcome.
7. Catalog data and attribution
Product, place, and book data in NayYay includes material from Open Food Facts and OpenStreetMap (Open Database License) and Open Library. That data remains under its own licenses.
8. Ending things
- You can delete your account at any time in Settings — see the Privacy Policy for exactly what is erased.
- We can suspend or close accounts that break these terms, or wind down the beta itself. If we ever wind down, we'll give as much notice as we reasonably can.
9. The legal paragraph
NayYay is provided “as is”, without warranties of any kind. To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect or consequential damages arising from your use of the service. Nothing in these terms limits rights you have under applicable consumer-protection law. These terms are governed by the laws of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable there.
10. Changes
If these terms change materially, we'll say so in the app and update the date at the top. Continuing to use NayYay after a change means you accept it.
