I. General Rules
Application—The term "Application" in this Agreement refers to Yiroute, the iOS mobile application. All Users should carefully read these terms before using the Application. The operator of the Application will be the binding party of this Agreement and will collect and process Personal Information as described herein to provide services to you; your information may be disclosed or transferred only as set out in this Agreement and in the Personal Data Protection Policy.
Contents and Legally Binding—This Agreement includes all terms and conditions below and any rules, notices, or statements that have been or may be published by the Application. All of the foregoing form part of this Agreement and, together with the body of the Agreement, constitute a legally binding agreement between the User and the operator of the Application. Your browsing, logging in, using, or connecting to the Application will be deemed acceptance of this Agreement. If you do not agree, you should stop using the Application and may contact us to request account cancellation where applicable.
Modification—We have the right to modify this Agreement and will notify the User through an announcement published on the Application. If you continue to use the Application after the Agreement is updated, you are deemed to have read, accepted, and agreed to the updated Agreement.
II. User Account
Registration, Authorization and Maintenance—The User should complete account registration in accordance with the guidelines and instructions on the Application. Upon completion, the User is solely responsible for use of the account. The User shall not lend or transfer the account to others or permit others to use the account; otherwise the User shall be liable for all consequences arising therefrom.
Unauthorized Use—The User acknowledges that, due to technical limitations, we may be unable to detect all illegal or unauthorized use of accounts and passwords. We shall not be liable for disclosure of the User's account or password not caused by us, nor for the consequences thereof. The User shall notify us promptly if the User discovers that his or her password or account has been disclosed or used without authorization or if there is any other security issue.
Account Cancellation—The User has the right to cancel his or her account (if any) at any time. Account cancellation may be requested through the contact means published on the Application.
III. Use of the Application
Services—The Application provides hospital and ranking information, user-generated content (e.g. posts, reviews), and related features such as saving preferences. By using these services, the User agrees to provide relevant information as required by the Application and authorizes us to use, record, and store such information for the purpose of providing services to the User in accordance with the Personal Data Protection Policy.
Third Party Contact—If the User provides contact details of a third party on the Application, it is deemed that the User authorizes that third party to access information the User has associated with such contact. We shall not be liable for any consequences (including disclosure of such information) arising from the User's provision of third-party contact details.
Service Change—The User acknowledges and agrees that we may change the content or features of the Application from time to time for the purpose of optimizing the User experience, to the extent permitted by applicable law and this Agreement.
End User License (EULA) Acceptance—Before creating an account or posting content, you must accept this Agreement. There is no tolerance for objectionable content or abusive users. If you do not agree, do not use features that submit user-generated content.
User-Generated Content; Zero Tolerance—The Application may allow posting of reviews and other content. There is no tolerance for objectionable material or abusive behavior, including without limitation: harassment, hate speech, threats, bullying, sexually explicit material, gratuitous violence, illegal activity, spam, impersonation, doxxing, defamation, or any content that violates this Agreement or applicable law. We may remove content, suspend or terminate accounts, and cooperate with authorities where appropriate.
Moderation and Reports—The Application includes tools to report content and users and to block users. You may also report inappropriate activity using the contact information shown in the Application (including About Yiroute and the support email published there). For credible reports of violations involving user-generated content, we aim to review and take appropriate action within twenty-four (24) hours, which may include removing the content and ejecting or restricting the user who posted it. Automated screening may also block some text before posting; it does not replace human review.
