These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the GiftMe mobile application, website, share extension, and related services (collectively, the “Service”) operated by Siqi Zhao and Kevin Wang, a general partnership doing business as GiftMe (“GiftMe,” “we,” “us,” or “our”).

By creating an account, accessing, or using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

1. The Service

GiftMe is a social wishlist and gifting-planning service. The Service may allow users to save and organize products, create folders and wishlists, share selected content, connect with friends, view social activity, track birthdays and other occasions, receive reminders, and use automated tools to extract product information from links, screenshots, images, and text.

GiftMe is not a retailer, marketplace, seller, payment processor, shipping provider, or gift-delivery service unless expressly stated. Product purchases occur through third-party retailers and are governed by their terms and policies.

2. Eligibility

  • You must be at least 13 years old or the minimum age required in your jurisdiction to use the Service.
  • If you are under the age of majority where you live, you may use the Service only with permission of a parent or legal guardian.
  • If you use the Service for an organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization.
  • You may not use the Service if applicable law prohibits you from doing so.

3. Accounts and Security

  • You agree to provide accurate information and keep it reasonably current.
  • You are responsible for safeguarding your device and account credentials and for activity under your account.
  • You may not impersonate another person, create misleading accounts, sell or transfer your account without permission, or use another person’s account without authorization.
  • Notify us promptly at contact@trygiftme.com if you believe your account has been compromised.

4. User Content

“User Content” means product information, links, screenshots, photos, images, wishlists, folder names, notes, comments, reactions, event information, profile information, prompts, feedback, corrections, and other material you submit, upload, save, post, share, or otherwise provide through the Service.

You retain ownership of your User Content. You are responsible for your User Content and for ensuring you have the rights, permissions, and lawful basis needed to provide it and allow us to process it.

You agree not to submit User Content that:

  • Infringes copyright, trademark, privacy, publicity, contractual, trade-secret, or other rights.
  • Contains private or personal information about another person without appropriate permission.
  • Is unlawful, fraudulent, deceptive, defamatory, threatening, harassing, hateful, exploitative, obscene, or otherwise harmful.
  • Contains malware, phishing material, spam, or harmful code.
  • Violates the terms of a retailer, website, social platform, or other third-party service.
  • Misrepresents identity, affiliation, sponsorship, product information, pricing, availability, or ownership.
  • Interferes with the Service or another user’s use of it.

5. License You Grant to GiftMe

You grant GiftMe a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, transferable, and sublicensable license to host, store, reproduce, process, analyze, modify, format, transmit, display, and otherwise use your User Content only as reasonably necessary to:

  • Provide, operate, personalize, secure, and improve the Service.
  • Create and display wishlists, folders, feeds, reminders, social interactions, and product records.
  • Use artificial intelligence, automation, and service providers to process content you submit.
  • Enable sharing according to your settings and instructions.
  • Provide support, investigate abuse, enforce these Terms, and comply with law.
  • Create and use aggregated or de-identified information for lawful purposes.

This license ends when your User Content is deleted from our active systems, except to the extent content has been shared with others, retained in backups for a limited period, de-identified, or retained for legal or security reasons.

6. Public and Shared Content

Content you mark public or share with other users may be viewed, copied, saved, screenshotted, or redistributed by those users. GiftMe cannot control what other users do with information they receive. Choose visibility settings carefully and do not share information you want to remain confidential.

7. Friend Discovery and Social Features

The Service may allow users to search by username, display name, or email, send or accept friend requests, follow activity, comment, react, nudge, or otherwise interact. You agree to use these features respectfully and not for harassment, spam, surveillance, unauthorized marketing, or collection of personal information.

We may limit visibility, remove content, block communications, or restrict accounts to protect users or the Service.

8. Third-Party Products, Retailers, and Links

The Service may display or link to products, brands, retailers, social platforms, or websites. GiftMe does not endorse or guarantee any third-party product or service and is not responsible for pricing, accuracy, availability, quality, safety, shipping, taxes, returns, refunds, warranties, authenticity, or transactions.

Before purchasing or gifting an item, verify the item, recipient preferences, price, seller, return policy, shipping information, and any relevant safety or compatibility details.

9. Artificial Intelligence and Automated Processing

GiftMe may use artificial intelligence, optical character recognition, image analysis, link parsing, classification, and other automated systems. Outputs may be inaccurate, incomplete, biased, outdated, or misleading. You are responsible for reviewing and correcting information before relying on it or sharing it.

You may not use the Service to generate, process, or distribute unlawful, infringing, deceptive, or harmful content.

10. Gift Planning and Reservations

Any gifting plans, reservations, group-gifting indicators, “claimed” items, or similar features are organizational tools only unless expressly stated otherwise. They do not create a purchase, hold inventory, transfer funds, guarantee exclusivity, or prevent another person from buying the same item. Users remain responsible for coordinating and completing purchases.

11. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

  • Use the Service for unlawful, harmful, deceptive, abusive, or unauthorized commercial purposes.
  • Harass, threaten, stalk, discriminate against, or exploit another person.
  • Scrape, crawl, harvest, index, copy, or extract data from the Service without written permission.
  • Use bots, scripts, automation, or multiple accounts to manipulate, spam, or overload the Service.
  • Reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or attempt to discover source code except where applicable law prohibits this restriction.
  • Bypass security, access controls, rate limits, subscriptions, or technical restrictions.
  • Access another account, system, network, or data without authorization.
  • Upload malware or interfere with Service integrity or availability.
  • Use the Service or its data to train a competing model, build a competing product, or create a commercial dataset without written permission.
  • Misuse another user’s wishlist, event information, social connections, or personal data.

12. Copyright and Intellectual Property Complaints

GiftMe respects intellectual-property rights. We may remove or disable content we believe infringes rights and may restrict or terminate repeat infringers.

A copyright notice should identify the copyrighted work, the allegedly infringing material, your contact information, a good-faith statement, a statement under penalty of perjury, and your physical or electronic signature. Send notices to: contact@trygiftme.com, with a copy by mail to GiftMe, Attn: Copyright, 215 W Lake St, Apt 2510, Chicago, IL 60606.

13. App Store and Mobile Platform Terms

If you download GiftMe through the Apple App Store, your use is also subject to Apple’s applicable terms. Apple is not responsible for the Service, maintenance, support, claims, or liabilities relating to the Service except as required by law. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms for App Store-distributed versions and may enforce these Terms against you.

14. Free Service and Future Paid Features

The Service is currently free unless otherwise stated. We may introduce or change usage limits, subscriptions, premium features, in-app purchases, credits, trials, referral benefits, or other monetization features.

If paid features are introduced, price, billing, renewal, cancellation, and refund terms will be disclosed at purchase and may be governed by Apple or another authorized payment provider. We may change, suspend, or discontinue features subject to applicable law and any applicable paid-service terms.

15. Feedback

If you provide ideas, suggestions, feedback, bug reports, or feature requests, you grant GiftMe a worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, transferable, sublicensable, royalty-free license to use them for any purpose without compensation or obligation to you.

16. GiftMe Intellectual Property

The Service, including its software, design, branding, mascot, logos, interfaces, graphics, workflows, databases, algorithms, features, and other materials, is owned by GiftMe or its licensors and protected by intellectual-property and other laws. Except as expressly permitted, you may not copy, modify, distribute, sell, lease, sublicense, publicly display, create derivative works from, or exploit any part of the Service.

17. Privacy

Our Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, retain, and protect information. By using the Service, you acknowledge the Privacy Policy.

18. Account Deletion, Suspension, and Termination

You may delete your account through available in-app settings or contact contact@trygiftme.com for assistance.

We may remove content or suspend, restrict, or terminate access if we reasonably believe you violated these Terms, created risk or legal exposure, infringed rights, harmed users, abused the Service, or used the Service unlawfully. We may also modify, suspend, or discontinue all or part of the Service.

Provisions that by their nature should survive termination will survive, including ownership, licenses already granted where necessary, disclaimers, limitations of liability, indemnification, and dispute provisions.

19. Disclaimers

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, GIFTME DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ACCURACY, AVAILABILITY, SECURITY, RELIABILITY, AND ERROR-FREE OPERATION.

WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE; THAT USER, PRODUCT, PRICE, EVENT, OR AI-GENERATED INFORMATION WILL BE ACCURATE; THAT THIRD-PARTY LINKS OR PRODUCTS WILL REMAIN AVAILABLE; THAT USER CONTENT WILL NEVER BE LOST; OR THAT THE SERVICE WILL MEET YOUR EXPECTATIONS.

20. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, GIFTME AND ITS OWNERS, PARTNERS, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS, AGENTS, AFFILIATES, SERVICE PROVIDERS, AND LICENSORS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST PROFITS, LOST REVENUE, LOST DATA, LOSS OF GOODWILL, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, FAILED GIFTS, DUPLICATE PURCHASES, PRODUCT ISSUES, OR THIRD-PARTY TRANSACTIONS, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE SERVICE OR THESE TERMS, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE SERVICE OR THESE TERMS WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID TO GIFTME IN THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM OR (B) $100.

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain exclusions or limitations, so portions of this section may not apply to you.

21. Indemnification

To the maximum extent permitted by law, you agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless GiftMe and its owners, partners, employees, contractors, agents, affiliates, service providers, and licensors from claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising out of or related to your use of the Service, User Content, violation of these Terms or law, violation of third-party rights, or misuse of third-party products, links, user information, or automated outputs. We may control the defense of a matter subject to indemnification, and you agree to cooperate.

22. Governing Law and Venue

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Illinois, without regard to conflict-of-law principles, except where mandatory consumer-protection law requires otherwise. Subject to the arbitration provision below, exclusive venue for disputes will be the state or federal courts located in Cook County, Illinois, and you consent to their jurisdiction.

23. Informal Dispute Resolution and Individual Arbitration

Please read this section carefully. It affects your legal rights.

Before filing a claim, you and GiftMe agree to send written notice describing the dispute and requested relief to contact@trygiftme.com and attempt in good faith to resolve it informally for 30 days.

Except for disputes that qualify for small-claims court and claims seeking injunctive relief for unauthorized use of intellectual property, security abuse, or unauthorized access, disputes arising out of or relating to the Service or these Terms will be resolved by binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its applicable Consumer Arbitration Rules. Arbitration may occur by video, telephone, documents, or in person in Cook County, Illinois, as the arbitrator determines consistent with applicable rules and law.

YOU AND GIFTME WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL AND THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS, COLLECTIVE, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW. THE ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD RELIEF ONLY TO THE INDIVIDUAL PARTY SEEKING RELIEF.

You may opt out of this arbitration provision by emailing contact@trygiftme.com within 30 days after first accepting these Terms. Your notice must include your name, account email or username, and a clear statement that you opt out of arbitration. Opting out will not affect your use of the Service.

If any part of this section is unenforceable for a particular claim or jurisdiction, that part will be severed and the remainder will remain effective.

24. Changes to the Service or These Terms

We may update the Service and these Terms from time to time. If changes are material, we may provide notice through the Service, by email, or by posting updated Terms. Unless otherwise stated, updated Terms become effective when posted. Continued use after the effective date means you accept the updated Terms.

25. Miscellaneous

  • These Terms, the Privacy Policy, and any feature-specific terms form the entire agreement between you and GiftMe concerning the Service.
  • If a provision is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in effect.
  • Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver.
  • You may not assign these Terms without our written consent. We may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization, sale of assets, or operation of law.
  • Section headings are for convenience only and do not affect interpretation.
  • Electronic communications and notices satisfy any legal requirement that communications be in writing, to the extent permitted by law.
