Terms of Service

mySpoils is provided as-is, free of charge during early access. We're building something we believe in, but we make no guarantees about uptime, data retention, or feature availability. Things may change as the product evolves.

mySpoils is for people aged 16 and over. There is no younger tier and no parental-consent route. By creating an account you confirm you are 16 or older; we ask rather than verify, because verifying would mean asking every adult here for identification.

If we learn that an account belongs to somebody younger we will suspend it. Nothing logged is deleted straight away, so a collection can be picked back up later. Why we drew the line there.

Everything you log (entries, lists, ratings, notes) belongs to you. We don't claim ownership over your content and we won't use it for anything beyond running the service.

By using the app you grant us a limited license to store and display your content back to you (and to others, if you choose to make your profile public).

mySpoils is run by one person. There is no automated moderation: nothing is scanned, nothing is flagged, and no account action happens without a person deciding it.

Why an account gets acted on

We can turn a public profile off, make a published spoil private, or close an account, if:

• it belongs to somebody under 16
• something published from it - a username, display name, avatar, bio, note, a title or a category you wrote - is illegal, or is used to harass, threaten or impersonate somebody
• it publishes sexual material involving children. This one is not a warning and not a discussion: the account is closed and reported
• something stored in it is illegal to store, whether it is public or not
• it is used against the service: bulk-copying other people's profiles, automated sign-ups, probing for weaknesses, or generating enough load to affect other people
• it exists to advertise, sell or drive traffic somewhere, rather than to keep a collection
• its payment is reversed as fraud, or it was paid for with a stolen card
• a court or a competent authority orders it

Reasons we will not act on: what you logged, how you rated it, what you wrote in a note, or a report that amounts to disliking you.

What you may publish on a public profile is set out in full in the Content Policy, which is the document this clause is enforced against.

What actually happens

The smallest thing that fixes it. Usually that is turning the profile off: the public page goes down, everything you logged stays intact, stays yours, and stays reachable by you. Closing an account is for the cases above where nothing smaller works.

We write to the email address on the account, say which of the reasons above applied and what was done. The exception is a case reported to the authorities, where we may be required not to tell you.

If you think we got it wrong, reply to that email. There is no form and no queue. If we got it wrong, we undo it.

Reporting a public profile

Every public profile carries a Report link at the foot of the page. You do not need an account to use it, but you do need to give an email address, so that somebody has an answer to write to and so the form cannot be used a thousand times a night. Five reports a day is the limit.

Your address stays on the report. It is never shown to the person you reported, and it is never given to them.

A report reaches a person, who reads it. Reports are not counted, and a profile is not taken down because several arrived.

The only action a report can lead to is the profile being taken out of public view. It does not lock the account, it touches nothing the person logged, and it is reversible.

Your private collection

Your data sits in a database we run, so it is technically possible to read anything in it, including private spoils. We do not. The moderation screen shows reports, not collections, and there is nothing anywhere in mySpoils that shows a collection to anybody but its owner. Reading the database directly happens only when investigating a report about that account, or when the law requires it.

Deleting your account

You can delete your own account from Settings, at any time, without asking anybody. It asks for a deliberate confirmation, because after 30 days it cannot be undone.

Deleting takes your public profile down at once and signs you out. The data stays for 30 days, so an accident can be undone and so you can still ask for a copy. Export your collection first if you want to keep it. After 30 days it is deleted, apart from records we have to keep: payment and tax records, and the fact that an account was closed and why.

If you cannot sign in, write to hello@myspoils.app and we will do it for you.

Paid accounts

Closing an account ends access to Pro or Lifetime features. Refunds are handled by Stripe, who sold you the plan, under their terms. If we close an account for one of the reasons above, we will not ask Stripe to refund it on your behalf. Link is the seller and can refund a payment on their own judgement, whatever we ask.

If we stop running mySpoils, or close an account for reasons of our own without you having broken anything, we will ask Stripe to refund what has not been used: the remaining part of a subscription, and a Lifetime licence in full if it was bought within the last 12 months.

Lifetime means the lifetime of mySpoils, not yours. If mySpoils shuts down, you get notice and an export before it does.

Who you are buying from. Pro and Lifetime are sold by Link, Stripe's merchant of record. Link takes the payment, charges the tax, sends the receipt, and shows on your statement as LINK.COM. Your contract for the payment is with them, on their terms. Your contract for using mySpoils is with us, on these.

Changing your mind. You have 14 days from the purchase to change your mind, for any reason or none, and have your money back. This applies wherever you live, not only where the law requires it. Ask Link support, or write to hello@myspoils.app and we will arrange it. Access starts immediately and we do not ask you to give anything up in exchange for it.

Where your own country gives you more than this, you keep it. Nothing here reduces a right you have by law.

After the 14 days. Ask anyway. There is a free tier, so you can see what mySpoils is before paying and we do not advertise a blanket money-back guarantee. But if you were charged in error, could not use what you paid for, or bought the wrong thing, write to hello@myspoils.app. Link can also refund a payment for up to 60 days after it was made, on their own judgement.

Cancelling a subscription. Cancel at any time, from your settings or from your Link account. Cancelling stops the next payment. It does not refund the period you are in, and Pro stays on until that period ends.

A refund ends what it paid for. A refunded Lifetime purchase ends Lifetime access and the account continues on the free tier. The same happens when a subscription lapses. Everything you have logged stays, and stays visible: the free limit applies to adding new spoils, never to ones you already have. Tags, custom categories and files you have kept stay too. What stops is the tools for making more of them, and for acting on many spoils at once.

Prices. You pay the price shown at checkout, in your own currency. If prices change, the new price applies to new purchases and to renewals after we have told you. A Lifetime licence already bought is never repriced.

mySpoils is provided without warranties of any kind. We're not liable for any loss of data, service interruptions, or damages arising from your use of the app. Use it at your own discretion.

We may update these terms from time to time. If we make significant changes we'll let you know by updating the date at the top of this page and, where appropriate, notifying you by email.

mySpoils is run by one person, based in Spain. Identification and contact details are on the Legal information page.
