Terms of Service
Effective Date: June 13, 2026
Welcome to WishYou (accessible at www.wishyoubirthday.com). We are thrilled to have you join our community!
These Terms of Service are the official rules and guidelines for using our application. Think of this document as a mutual agreement between you (the person using the app) and us (the team that built WishYou). By logging into the app and using our services, you are telling us that you have read, understood, and agreed to follow every rule written on this page.
Because legal documents can often be confusing, we have written these terms in the clearest, most detailed, and easy-to-understand language possible. We have avoided complicated legal jargon so you know exactly what is expected of you, and what you can expect from us. If you do not agree with any of these rules, you should not use the WishYou app.
1. What is WishYou?
WishYou is a digital platform created with a single, positive purpose: to help you remember the birthdays of the people you care about and to make it easy to send them wonderful birthday wishes.
To do this, our app acts like a smart calendar and address book combined. With your permission, we securely look at the contacts saved in your Google account. We then match you with people in your contacts who are also using WishYou (we call these "mutuals"). Once connected, we remind you when their birthdays are coming up, and we provide tools for you to write, generate, and send them special birthday messages.
2. Who Can Use This App? (Eligibility)
We want WishYou to be a safe place for everyone, but there are a few basic requirements you must meet to use our app:
- Age Requirement: You must be at least 13 years old to use this app. If the laws in your country require you to be older to use online services without a parent's permission, then you must meet that older age requirement.
- Ability to Agree: You must be legally able to agree to these rules. If you are reading this on behalf of a company or an organization, you are promising us that you have the authority to agree to these rules for that company.
- Good Standing: You cannot use this app if we have previously banned you or disabled your account for breaking our rules in the past.
3. Your Account and Keeping it Safe
To use WishYou, you do not need to create a new, complicated password. Instead, you will create your account by signing in through your existing Google account. Here are the rules regarding your account:
- Honesty is Required: When you sign up, the information you provide (like your name and your actual date of birth) must be true and accurate. Pretending to be someone else, or making up a fake birthday to trick people into sending you gifts or messages, is strictly forbidden.
- It is Your Responsibility: Because your WishYou account is tied to your Google account, keeping your Google account secure is incredibly important. You are completely responsible for anything that happens inside your WishYou account. If someone else logs into your phone or computer and sends rude messages through our app using your account, you are held responsible for that action.
- Tell Us About Problems: If you think someone has broken into your account or is using your identity on our app without your permission, you must email our support team immediately so we can help protect you.
4. Privacy and Your Information
We care deeply about your privacy. In order to provide our service, we need to handle your personal information and look at your address book to find your friends.
We have written a very detailed, separate document called our Privacy Policy that explains exactly what information we look at, how we scramble phone numbers so they cannot be read, and how we protect your data. By agreeing to these Terms of Service, you are also confirming that you have read and agreed to our Privacy Policy.
5. Rules of Conduct: How to Behave on WishYou
WishYou is designed to spread joy and celebration. We have zero tolerance for bad behavior. When using our app, you promise that you will NOT do any of the following things:
- No Bullying or Harassment: You may not use our app to send mean, threatening, hateful, or abusive messages to anyone. Birthdays are supposed to be happy; do not use our platform to ruin someone's day.
- No Illegal Activities: You may not use the app to break any local, state, national, or international laws.
- No Spamming: You may not use the app to send advertisements, junk mail, or repetitive, unwanted messages to other users.
- No Impersonation: You may not pretend to be a celebrity, another user, or someone you are not.
- No Breaking the App: You may not try to hack into our systems, spread computer viruses, or do anything that would make the app slow down or stop working for other people. You may not try to bypass our security measures.
- No Stealing Information: You may not use automated robots, scrapers, or any other method to secretly gather the names, pictures, or birth dates of other people using the app.
If we find out that you are doing any of these things, we will immediately delete your account without warning, and you will not be allowed back.
6. The Messages and Wishes You Send (Your Content)
When you write a beautiful birthday wish for your friend, that message belongs to you. We do not claim to own the words you write.
However, by typing a message into our app and pressing send, you are giving us the technical permission we need to take that message, store it temporarily in our systems, and deliver it to your friend's screen. You are also promising us that the messages you send do not violate anyone else's rights (for example, do not copy a famous poem and claim you wrote it yourself).
7. Our Property (What Belongs to Us)
While you own the messages you write, we own everything else about the WishYou app. The design of the app, the colors, the logos, the computer code that makes it work, the text we have written, and the name "WishYou" all belong exclusively to us. You are not allowed to copy our app, steal our logos, or try to sell our app as if it were your own invention.
8. Ending Our Relationship (Termination)
You are completely free to stop using WishYou at any time, for any reason. You can simply delete your account in the app settings and walk away.
On our side, we also have the right to end our relationship with you. We can suspend or completely permanently delete your account at any time, especially if we believe you have broken any of the rules listed in Section 5, or if you are doing something that harms the app or other users. If we delete your account for breaking the rules, you will lose access to all your connected friends and upcoming birthday reminders immediately.
9. Disclaimers: Things We Are Not Responsible For
We work very hard to make sure WishYou works perfectly every single day. However, technology can sometimes fail, and we need to be clear about what happens if things go wrong.
- The App is Provided "As Is": This means you are using the app in its current condition. We cannot absolutely guarantee that the app will be perfect, that it will never crash, or that it will be entirely free of tiny glitches.
- Missed Birthdays: Our primary job is to remind you of birthdays. However, if our system experiences a technical hiccup, or your internet goes down, or an email reminder gets lost in your spam folder, and you forget your best friend's birthday as a result, we are not responsible for the consequences. You cannot sue us or blame us for a ruined relationship or an angry friend because a reminder did not arrive on time. It is always a good idea to keep your own backups of the most important dates in your life!
10. Limitation of Liability
This section is very important legally. It means that there is a strict limit on how much we can be held responsible if something goes wrong while you are using the app. Under no circumstances will WishYou, or the people who built it, be legally or financially responsible to you for any indirect damages, accidental damages, or special losses. For example, if you claim that using our app somehow caused you to lose money, lose your reputation, or suffer emotional distress, we are not legally responsible for those claims. By using the app, you accept this risk.
11. Changes to These Rules
As our app grows and adds new features, we might need to change these rules. We have the right to update this document at any time. If we make a tiny change (like fixing a spelling mistake), we will just update the document. If we make a very big change that affects your rights or how you use the app, we will try our best to let you know ahead of time, usually by sending you an email or showing a big alert when you open the app. If you continue to use WishYou after the new rules have been posted, that means you have read the new rules and agree to follow them.
12. How to Contact Us
We believe that rules should be clear and fair. If there is anything in this document that you do not understand, or if you have a question about what is allowed on our platform, please do not hesitate to ask us. You can contact our team at any time by sending an email to:
support@wishyoubirthday.comThank you for reading these rules, and thank you for being a part of the WishYou community!
