6. Service Availability & Continuity

6.1 No Guarantee of Continuous Service

While we are deeply committed to preserving your memories, we cannot and do not guarantee uninterrupted, permanent, or error-free access to the Service. The Service may be temporarily unavailable due to maintenance, technical issues, or circumstances beyond our control, including but not limited to natural disasters, acts of God, cyberattacks, force majeure events, or failures of third-party infrastructure providers.

6.2 Service Modification or Discontinuation

You Stay Forever reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to:

Modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Service at any time, with or without notice.
Permanently discontinue the entire Service, with a minimum of 90 days' prior written notice to registered users via email, where reasonably practicable.

In the event of permanent Service discontinuation, we will make reasonable efforts to provide users with a data export option for a minimum of 30 days prior to shutdown, allowing you to download photographs and text content from your memorial pages.

6.4 No Liability for Data Loss

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, You Stay Forever shall not be liable for any loss, corruption, or unavailability of User Content or memorial pages, whether resulting from technical failures, discontinuation of the Service, unauthorized access, or any other cause.

In plain language: We will do everything we can to keep your memories safe. But like any online service, we cannot promise absolute permanence. If we ever need to shut down, we will give you at least 90 days' notice and help you save your content.

7. Premium Plans & Payments

7.1 One-Time Payment

The Premium tier is offered as a one-time payment of $100 USD, which grants access to Premium features as described on our Pricing page at the time of purchase. There are no recurring charges.

7.2 All Sales Are Final — No Refunds

ALL PURCHASES ARE FINAL AND NON-REFUNDABLE.

We do not issue refunds under any circumstances, including but not limited to: change of mind, accidental purchase, discontinuation of the Service, or death of the account holder. This no-refund policy applies equally to all users, whether on Free or Premium plans. Free plan users have not made any payment and are therefore not entitled to any monetary compensation of any kind.

By completing a purchase, you expressly acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agreed to this no-refund policy.

This policy is consistent with standard industry practice for digital services and is legally enforceable under U.S. law. No federal law requires refunds for digital service licenses.

If you initiate a chargeback or payment dispute with your bank or credit card provider in bad faith after receiving access to Premium features, we reserve the right to suspend or permanently terminate your account without notice.

7.4 Feature Changes

Create memorials for living persons without their explicit written consent.

Upon any termination, no refund will be issued under any circumstances. You may request deletion of your memorial pages and account at any time by contacting hello@youstayforever.com.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or limitation of liability. In such jurisdictions, our liability is limited to the maximum extent permitted by law.

14.2 Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.
