Yahoo Communications Terms

  1. ACCEPTANCE OF TERMS
    1. Welcome to Yahoo. Yahoo provides Yahoo Mail and messaging products, for example Yahoo Messenger (the "Services"), all of which are subject to the terms and conditions of this Additional Terms of Service ("ATOS") and the applicable Yahoo Universal Terms of Service ("UTOS") in Section 10, which is incorporated by reference into this ATOS. In this ATOS, "Yahoo" or "Applicable Yahoo Company" means the Yahoo company that provides you with the Services as set out in Section 10. Your use of the Services constitutes acceptance of and is subject to this ATOS and the law specified by the Applicable Yahoo Company in Section 10. This ATOS may be updated by Yahoo from time to time without individual notice to you. The prior sentence does not apply to you if you are using the German Services as detailed in Section 10. You can review the most current version of this ATOS and the UTOS by clicking the applicable links in Section 10.
    2. Yahoo's automated systems analyze all communications content (such as Mail and Messenger content including instant messages and SMS messages) to, without limitation, provide personally relevant product features and content, to match and serve targeted advertising and for spam and malware detection and abuse protection. This analysis occurs on all communications content as it is sent, received, and when it is stored, including communications content from services synced with your Yahoo account. For certain use cases, Yahoo runs automated algorithms on commercial communications to create generic templates of such documents (e.g., using common language to identify the elements of an airline receipt). These templates do not include the recipient's personal data. Yahoo template editors may review the templates to improve our services and our personalization of your experience. The template review only applies if you are using the U.S. Services as detailed in Section 10. Unless expressly stated otherwise, you will not be allowed to opt out of these features.
    3. By accessing, using and continuing to use the Services, you represent and warrant that you are permitted to do so under applicable law. You are solely responsible for using the Services in compliance with any and all applicable law. If you are in a jurisdiction where download or use of the Services is prohibited or restricted or if you are below the applicable legal age required to use the Services, click "cancel" and do not download or use the Services. Unless explicitly stated otherwise, any new features that augment or enhance the current Services shall be subject to this ATOS, which you agree to by continued use of the Services. The prior sentence does not apply to you if you are using the German Services as detailed in Section 10.
  2. DESCRIPTION AND USE OF THE SERVICES
    1. Use of Software. As needed, you may install or download and use software in the Services including any third party software, and any authorized updates provided by Yahoo (the "Software") in object code form on a personal computer or device owned or controlled by you for your own personal, non commercial use. You are only permitted to access the Services through the Software strictly as authorized in this ATOS. The Services and its components contain software licensed from Yahoo licensors ("Licensor Software"). The Licensor Software enables the Yahoo Software to perform certain functions including, without limitation, access proprietary data on third-party data servers. Your license to the Software continues until it is terminated by either party. You may terminate the license to the Software by discontinuing use of and by destroying all copies of the Software. In addition, this Software license terminates if you violate any term of this ATOS, Yahoo publicly posts a written notice of termination on Yahoo's web site, or Yahoo sends a written notice of termination to you. If your license terminates, you agree to cease any and all use of the Services, their components, and any third-party data. All rights in any third-party data, any third-party software, and any third-party data servers, including all ownership rights are reserved and remain with the respective third parties. You agree that these third parties may enforce their rights under this ATOS against you directly in their own name and that you are solely responsible for such claims or defenses and all costs associated with them. If the Services require or include downloadable software, Yahoo may automatically download and install the latest version of the software on your device once a new version or feature is available. Some Services may let you adjust your automatic update settings. If there is a material change, Yahoo may notify you after installation.
    2. Saving and Accessing Information. Yahoo messaging products (including Yahoo Messenger within your Yahoo Mail and web based versions) allow you to see when your friends are online, and send and receive instant messages and other information. Yahoo messaging services including Yahoo Messenger could also allow you, and the people with whom you communicate, to save your conversations and other information in your Yahoo Mail accounts located on Yahoo servers. If this feature is available, you can access and search your message history from any computer or device with access to the Internet. Whether or not you use this feature, other users may choose to use it to save conversations and other information with you in their account located on Yahoo servers. Your agreement to this ATOS constitutes your consent to allow Yahoo to store these communications and other information on its servers for back up, security and all other purposes set forth in this ATOS. You are solely responsible for the content that you use or store in connection with the Services and if you wish, are solely responsible for backing up your data. Except as set forth herein, you acknowledge and agree that the Applicable Yahoo Company does not guarantee that data associated with your account will be accessible to you, or that any data deleted, removed or rendered inaccessible can be provided to you. The prior sentence does not apply to you if you are using the German Services as detailed in Section 10.
    3. This ATOS grants you no right, title or interest in any intellectual property owned or licensed by Yahoo, including, without limitation, the Services and Yahoo trademarks.
    4. Advertisements. You understand and agree that the Services may include advertisements and that these advertisements are necessary for Yahoo to provide the Services.
    5. Communications from Yahoo. You also understand and agree that the Services may include certain communications from Yahoo, such as service announcements and administrative messages and that you will not be able to opt out of receiving such communications.
    6. Accessing and Using the Services. In order to use the Services and those services and products within the Services (for both free and charged services), you must obtain access to the World Wide Web, either directly or through devices that access web-based content. You are responsible for and must pay any service fees associated with such access and for all costs of any equipment used to gain such access (which could include third party fees).
    7. Interoperability with Other Networks. If authorized by Yahoo, Yahoo messaging services including Yahoo Messenger may allow you to communicate with users of other instant messaging products. In that event, you acknowledge and agree that: (i) your use of Yahoo messaging services including Yahoo Messenger is subject to this ATOS and the terms governing the use of other instant messaging products you have agreed to, if any, that are consistent with this ATOS; and (ii) users of other instant messaging products are subject to the terms governing such other instant messaging products. Yahoo assumes no responsibility for the conduct of persons or entities with which you communicate. With the exception of messages sent to you by Yahoo, Yahoo does not own or control the content of any messages sent or received by users of the Services.
    8. The Services may allow you to use different methods of communicating and sending and receiving messages, files, photos, videos and other information, including via the Services, SMS, voice calling and video calling.
    9. Blocking. By using the Services, you acknowledge that other users of the Services may elect to receive a notification from the Services when you sign on and may send you instant messages and other information or call you via the Services. If you wish to block the notification feature or if you don't want to receive messages from such users, you may have the option to enable the "Ignore" or similar feature separately. Your ability to send and receive instant messages and other information may be blocked by Yahoo and other users, which may partially or wholly limit your ability to use the Services. By using the Services, you agree that Yahoo has no responsibility for assessing or resolving any disputes arising from your or any other user's ability (or otherwise) to ignore, send messages or other information, or otherwise use the Services. The prior sentence does not apply to you if you are using the German Services as detailed in Section 10.
    10. Yahoo Support. Yahoo may elect to provide you with customer support and/or upgrades, enhancements, or modifications for the Services (collectively, "Support"), in its sole discretion, and may terminate such Support at any time without notice to you. You understand and agree that in the event Yahoo elects to provide you with Support, such Support is provided voluntarily in Yahoo's sole discretion and that it does not create any contractual right to receive Support and that you may not rely upon any statement or offer of Support to create a contractual right to Support.
    11. Yahoo Fees. Yahoo reserves the right to charge fees for future use of or access to the Services, or other Yahoo services and web sites, in Yahoo's sole discretion. If Yahoo decides to charge fees, Yahoo will provide you with prior notice.
  3. DIFFERENT VERSIONS OF THE SERVICES
    Different features may be available in different versions of the Services and not all features may be available in your country or region. Also, not all features may be available if the user that you are communicating with is using a different version of the Services, or is using an instant message software client offered by a non-Yahoo company.
  4. MEMBER ACCOUNT, PASSWORD, AND SECURITY
    If you don't already have a Yahoo ID and password, you will be prompted to complete the Yahoo registration process. You agree Yahoo provides you only with the right to access your account in accordance with this ATOS and applicable rules and guidelines. If you violate this Section 4, or otherwise cannot validate your account to Yahoo, you acknowledge and agree that your account may be permanently inaccessible to you and that all data associated with the account may not be retrievable. Yahoo does not guarantee that you will have permanent access to your data used with the Services, or that it will provide copies to you in the event data is deleted or lost. Yahoo encourages you to properly back up your data. Yahoo may also impose limits on certain features and services or restrict your access to parts or all of the Services or other Yahoo services or web sites without notice or liability. The prior sentence does not apply to you if you are using the German Services as detailed in Section 10.
  5. YAHOO PRIVACY POLICY
