OurStash Terms of Service

Effective date: November 8, 2026

These terms are an agreement between you and HsienTsung Wu, the individual developer who makes OurStash ("we", "us", "our"). They cover the OurStash iPhone app, its Share extension, the OurStash Plus subscription, and the OurStash web pages at ourstash.app (together, "OurStash"). By tapping a sign-in button on the Welcome screen, creating an account or using OurStash, you agree to these terms and acknowledge our Privacy Policy, which explains how we handle your information. If you do not agree, please do not use OurStash.

Please read the "Disputes" section. If you live in the United States, it says that most disagreements between us will be resolved by individual arbitration rather than in court, and that you give up the right to take part in a class action. You can opt out of arbitration within 30 days of creating your account.

Who can use OurStash

  • You must be at least 13 years old. If you live in the European Economic Area or the UK, you must be at least 16, or the lower age (never under 13) at which your country lets you agree to online services on your own.
  • If you are under the age of majority where you live, a parent or guardian must read these terms and agree to them for you, must be comfortable with you sharing lists with other people, and must approve any purchase of OurStash Plus (Apple's Ask to Buy can help with that).
  • You must not be barred from using the App Store or from receiving services under the laws of the United States or your country (see "Export and sanctions" below).
  • You use OurStash as yourself. One account per person; do not share your account.

Your account

  • You sign in with Apple, with Google, or with a one-time code sent to your email address. Keep those accounts and your devices secure. You are responsible for what happens under your OurStash account until you tell us otherwise.
  • The name you choose is shown to the people in your shared lists and to people you invite. Do not use a name that impersonates someone else, suggests you are us, or is offensive.
  • Tell us at support@ourstash.app right away if you think someone else is using your account.
  • We may contact you about your account and the service at the email address on it. These are service messages, not marketing.
  • You can delete your account at any time in Settings → Delete Account. The Privacy Policy explains exactly what that deletes, including what you added to other people's lists. Deleting your account does not cancel an OurStash Plus subscription; see "OurStash Plus".

Your licence to use OurStash

  • We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to install and use the OurStash app on Apple devices that you own or control, as allowed by the App Store's Usage Rules, and to use our web pages, for your own non-commercial purposes and in line with these terms.
  • You may not copy, sell, rent or sublicense OurStash; reverse engineer, decompile or try to extract its source code except where the law expressly allows it; interfere with how it works; get around its limits, rate limits, paywall or security; use automated tools (scrapers, bots, scripts) to access it except through features we provide; or use it to build a competing service.
  • OurStash, its name, logo, design and code belong to us or our licensors. These terms give you no rights in them except the licence above.
  • The free plan of OurStash costs nothing and shows no ads. OurStash Plus is an optional paid subscription, described in its own section below; every payment goes through Apple.

Terms that Apple requires

Because you get the app from Apple's App Store, Apple requires us to tell you the following.

  • These terms are between you and us, not Apple. We, not Apple, are responsible for OurStash and its content.
  • Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support for OurStash. Support comes from us, at support@ourstash.app.
  • If the app fails to conform to any warranty that applies to it, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund you the price you paid for the app (if any). To the maximum extent the law allows, Apple has no other warranty obligation for the app, and any other claim, loss, liability, damage, cost or expense attributable to a failure to conform to a warranty is our responsibility, not Apple's.
  • We, not Apple, are responsible for addressing any claim by you or a third party relating to the app or your possession or use of it, including product liability claims, claims that the app fails to conform to a legal or regulatory requirement, claims under consumer protection or similar laws, and claims under privacy law.
  • If a third party claims that the app or your use of it infringes their intellectual property rights, we, not Apple, are responsible for investigating, defending, settling and discharging that claim.
  • You confirm that you are not located in a country that is subject to a United States government embargo or that the United States has designated as a "terrorist supporting" country, and that you are not on any United States government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
  • You must comply with any third-party terms that apply when you use the app, including the terms of the platforms whose content you save or watch.
  • Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these terms. Once you accept them, Apple has the right to enforce them against you as a third-party beneficiary.

OurStash Plus

OurStash Plus is an optional subscription for people who run a group. It is sold by Apple through the App Store's in-app purchase system, in the United States and Canada.

  • What you get. While your subscription is active, the lists you own get, for everyone in them: up to 25 people instead of 5, voting with Top picks, trip planning and reminders. Exactly what Plus includes when you buy is shown on the Plus screen. We never sell Plus on the promise of a feature that is not there yet. Plus bought by someone else does not unlock Plus features in a list you own, and your Plus does not unlock them in theirs.
  • Price and period. $2.99 per month or $24.99 per year, in US dollars, plus any sales tax Apple is required to collect. Apple shows the exact price for your App Store account before you confirm the purchase.
  • Free trial. New subscribers get a 1-month free trial when Apple offers one to them (one introductory offer per Apple ID). Before you start it, the app shows the date the trial ends and the price you will then be charged. Unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the trial ends, your subscription starts automatically and Apple charges the plan you chose. You can cancel during the trial at no cost and keep Plus until the trial ends. If you buy a subscription during the free trial, any unused part of the trial is forfeited.
  • Automatic renewal. Your subscription renews automatically for the same period and at the then-current price, and Apple charges your App Store payment method within 24 hours before each new period begins, until you cancel at least 24 hours before the current period ends. Apple emails you a receipt for each charge and, before an annual renewal, a reminder.
  • How to cancel. At any time, in iOS Settings → your name → Subscriptions → OurStash Plus → Cancel Subscription, or in the app, Settings → OurStash Plus → Manage Subscription, which opens the same Apple screen. Cancelling stops the next renewal; you keep Plus until the end of the period you paid for, and Apple does not refund the unused part. Deleting the app, signing out or deleting your OurStash account does not cancel the subscription.
  • Refunds. Payments are made to Apple, and only Apple can refund them. Ask at reportaproblem.apple.com or through Apple Support; Apple decides under its own refund policy. If Apple refunds or revokes a purchase, your Plus ends when Apple tells us. Nothing in this section takes away refund rights that your law gives you and that cannot be excluded.
  • Family Sharing. Plus supports Apple's Family Sharing. If the person who bought Plus has Family Sharing on, up to five family members in their Apple family can use Plus in OurStash with their own OurStash accounts; the app then shows "Included with your family plan". Each family member's Plus works in the lists that member owns. If the buyer cancels, turns off sharing for the purchase, or you leave the family group, your Plus ends.
  • If a payment fails, Apple retries it. We keep Plus on for up to 16 days while Apple does, so you do not lose features because of an expired card; if the payment still fails, Plus ends. Update your payment method in your Apple ID settings.
  • Restoring. If you reinstall the app or get a new iPhone, tap Restore Purchases on the Plus screen. One Apple ID can only hold one Plus subscription; if you use that Apple ID with several OurStash accounts, the account that restored most recently has Plus, and the app tells you so.
  • When Plus ends, nothing is deleted and nobody is removed. A list with more than 5 people keeps everyone, but nobody new can join until it is under 5 or you renew. Trip plans and votes stay visible to everyone but can no longer be changed; reminders already set still fire, but no new ones can be set. If you subscribe again, everything works as before, with the settings you had.
  • Changes to Plus. We may change the price of Plus or what it includes. If we raise the price of a subscription you already have, Apple tells you in advance and, where Apple's rules require it, asks for your agreement before charging the new price; if you do not agree, your subscription ends at the end of the current period. If we remove a Plus feature or stop offering Plus altogether, we will tell you at least 30 days in advance where reasonably possible, your subscription will not renew, and you keep what you paid for until the end of your period.
  • Apple's terms. Your purchase is also governed by Apple's Media Services Terms and Conditions, including Apple's rules on billing, refunds and Family Sharing.
  • Lists over the free limit. On the free plan a list you own can have 5 people, you included; pending email invitations count toward that. A list that already has more than 5 people (for example from before this limit existed) keeps everyone in it, but nobody new can join until it is under 5 or its owner has Plus; we never remove anyone to enforce the limit.

Your content

"Your content" means the links and places you save, your list names, the titles and addresses you type, your notes, the Seen marks, reactions, comments and votes you add to items in shared lists, the trip plans and reminders you set, and the cover photos you give lists.

  • You own your content. We claim no ownership of it.
  • The permission you give us. So that OurStash can work, you give us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to store, copy, process, transmit and display your content, and to let our service providers do the same on our behalf, only as needed to run OurStash for you and for the people you share with: syncing it to your devices, fetching the details of links you save, showing it to the members of your shared lists, showing it on a public web page if a list's owner turns one on, sending notifications and reminders about it, and keeping it secure. This licence ends when you delete the content or your account, except for the short retention periods described in the Privacy Policy and for copies other people have made as described below.
  • Permission you give other people. When you add something to a shared list, you allow the other members to see it, to add or edit the note on it (if their role allows), and to copy its link and title into their own lists. You also allow the other members, including people who join later, to see the Seen marks, reactions, comments and votes you add, with your name, and the trip details and reminders you set. Copies they make stay theirs after you leave or delete your account. When a list you contribute to has a public link, you allow anyone with the link to see the items as described in the Privacy Policy.
  • Cover photos. Only use a photo you took or have the right to use, and do not use a photo of a person who has not agreed to it. A cover on a list with a public link can be seen by everyone in the list. We may replace or remove a cover that breaks these terms.
  • You are responsible for your content and for having the right to save and share it. Only share links and write notes and comments that you are allowed to share, and remember that other people can see what you put in a shared list. A trip's Details field is visible to everyone in the list: do not put payment card numbers, passwords, or other people's private information in it.
  • Feedback. If you send us ideas or suggestions, we may use them without owing you anything.
  • Our access. We do not read your content as part of running OurStash, but we can access it when necessary to provide support you ask for, to investigate a report or a security problem, to enforce these terms, or when the law requires it, as described in the Privacy Policy.
  • Shared lists. Everything in a shared list, including notes, is visible to all of its members. Anyone who can add posts can save into the list, edit the note on any post in it, and set or change the list's cover. A list's owner can change roles, remove any post or member, delete any comment, turn invite and public links on and off, stop sharing or delete the list. Posts you add to a list stay in it when you leave, with your name replaced by "a former member"; they are removed if you delete your account. Once a list is shared, everyone in it can mark items as Seen, react to items (one reaction per person per item) and comment on them; there are no switches for these. If the owner has OurStash Plus, the owner also chooses in List Settings whether the list has voting with Top picks, trip planning and reminders; these apply to everyone in the list, and turning one off hides what people added without deleting it. You can remove your own Seen mark, reaction, comment or vote at any time, whatever the settings. A list's owner may delete any comment in it, and a member whose comment is deleted is not told why.
  • Trips and reminders. When a list is a trip, members who can add posts can set each item's status, day, time and Details, and set reminders for everyone in the list; anyone in the list can set a reminder for themselves. A reminder for everyone is a notification we send to every member who has not muted the list, around the set time (our server checks every 10 minutes), so use them sparingly; we limit how many a list can have. Reminders are a convenience, not a guarantee: they may arrive late or not at all (for example if notifications are off or a device is offline), so do not rely on them for anything you cannot afford to miss.
  • Invites. Anyone who has an invite link can join the list with the role it grants until the link expires (14 days or 25 uses) or the owner turns it off, and as long as the list has room (see "OurStash Plus", "Lists over the free limit"). Only send invites to people you want in the list, and do not post invite links in public places. If you invite someone by email through a feature we offer, you confirm that you know them and that they would welcome the invitation, and you must not use invitations to send spam or bulk messages.
  • Public links. When a list's owner turns on its public link, the list's name, the number of posts, and its items' titles and links and some details of each item can be seen by anyone who has the link, for as long as the link is on, and they may share it further; comments, notes and members' names are not shown on the page. The Privacy Policy says exactly what a public page shows and does not show. Only turn on a public link for a list you are comfortable making public, and make sure the other members are too, because the items they added will be on the page. Turning it off removes the page within about a minute.
  • If a list owner breaks these terms, we may turn off a public link, block it from being turned back on, hide its comments, remove its followers, remove content or close the account, and the other members may lose access to the list.

Acceptable use

Do not use OurStash to:

  • save, share or publish anything illegal, or anything that infringes someone else's copyright, trademark, privacy, publicity or other rights;
  • harass, bully, threaten, intimidate or impersonate anyone, or share someone's private information (such as their home address, phone number, booking details or private messages) without their permission;
  • share content that sexually exploits or endangers children, that is sexually explicit involving minors in any form, that promotes violence, terrorism or self-harm, or that is hateful toward people because of who they are;
  • send spam, malware or scams, mislead people about where a link leads, or use lists, public pages, comments, invites, cover photos or your display name to advertise or promote anything unsolicited;
  • send invitations in bulk, to people who do not know you, or with automated tools, or follow lists or comment with automated tools;
  • scrape, harvest or mass-download content or information about other users, or probe, overload or try to break into OurStash or our providers;
  • break the law or the rules of the platforms whose content you save or watch, including by using OurStash to download or re-host their content;
  • get around the free plan's limits or the Plus paywall, for example by creating several accounts to hold more people in a list;
  • let anyone under 13 use your account, or use OurStash on behalf of someone who is not allowed to use it.

These rules apply to everything you add to OurStash, including list names, notes, typed titles, comments, reactions, trip details, reminder notes, cover photos, your display name and your profile photo, whether it is seen by a list's members or by anyone with a public link. Our server refuses comments that contain certain slurs; that filter is a safety net, not a licence to post anything it does not catch.

We may remove content, turn off public or invite links, limit features, or suspend or close accounts that break these rules, and we may report serious matters to law enforcement.

Reporting content and how we handle reports

  • How to report. In the app, touch and hold a post (or use the ⋯ menu on its page), touch and hold a comment, open a person in a list's People screen, or use a list's ⋯ menu, and choose Report. Every public list page has a Report this page link that opens an email to us with the page's reference. For anything else, including an invite or an email you got from us, email support@ourstash.app with the list or post, what the problem is, and how to reach you. If you report a copyright problem, use the process in "Copyright complaints" below.
  • What we do. We aim to look at every report within 48 hours and to act within 7 days where action is needed. We may take down a public page and block it from being turned back on (which also hides its comments and removes its followers), remove content (down to a single comment, reaction, vote, trip detail or cover), remove a member or follower from a list, restrict features, or suspend or close an account. We may tell the person who shared the content what we did and why, and we keep a record of the action. We are not obliged to act on every report, and we may not be able to tell you the outcome.
  • If we act against you, we will tell you the reason when we reasonably can and when the law allows, and you can ask us to reconsider by replying to that email within 30 days.
  • Protecting yourself in a list. You can leave any list at any time, and a list owner can remove any member, delete any comment and delete any post. You can also block anyone you share a list with or who owns a list you are in: you leave the lists they own, they are removed from yours, invites between you stop working, and their posts, notes, activity, Seen marks, reactions, comments and votes are hidden from you. You can unblock people in Settings → Blocked People. If someone is bothering you through OurStash, block them and report them to us.
  • We do not review content before it is shared, and we are not responsible for what other people save or write. Content you see in a shared list or on a public page is the responsibility of the person who shared it.

We respect the intellectual property of others and expect you to do the same. We respond to notices of claimed copyright infringement under the US Digital Millennium Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. § 512) and to equivalent notices under other countries' laws.

  • Where to send copyright notices: email support@ourstash.app with the subject "Copyright".
  • To send a notice, include: your physical or electronic signature; identification of the copyrighted work you say is infringed; identification of the material you want removed and enough information for us to find it (the public page link or the list and post); your address, telephone number and email address; a statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use is not authorised by the copyright owner, its agent or the law; and a statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorised to act for them. Knowingly misrepresenting that material is infringing can make you liable for damages (17 U.S.C. § 512(f)).
  • What we do with a valid notice. We remove or disable access to the material (for example by taking down a public page, removing a post, a comment or a cover photo), tell the person who shared it, and keep a record. Note that OurStash stores links, not the videos or pages themselves; if the infringing material is hosted on another platform, you should also notify that platform. Cover photos and comments are stored by us.
  • Counter-notices. If your content was removed and you believe that was a mistake or that you have the right to share it, you may send us a counter-notice with: your physical or electronic signature; identification of the removed material and where it appeared; a statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief it was removed by mistake or misidentification; your name, address and telephone number; and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal court for your address (or, if outside the United States, for the District of Massachusetts) and that you will accept service of process from the person who sent the original notice. We may restore the material in 10 to 14 business days unless that person tells us they have filed a court action.
  • Repeat infringers. We close the accounts of people who repeatedly infringe other people's copyrights or other intellectual property rights, in appropriate circumstances, and we may do so after fewer incidents where the infringement is blatant.

Content from other platforms

OurStash saves links to posts on Instagram, TikTok, YouTube and Facebook, to places on Apple Maps and Google Maps, and to other websites, and opens them in the platform's own app or in the app's built-in browser. That content belongs to its creators and is governed by the platforms' own terms and privacy policies, not by us. We do not host, download or keep copies of it, we do not endorse it, and we are not responsible for it or for what happens on those platforms. A post may stop working if its creator or the platform removes it, makes it private or limits who can see it. We are not affiliated with any of these companies.

OurStash uses the YouTube API Services. By using OurStash you agree to be bound by the YouTube Terms of Service (https://www.youtube.com/t/terms) and Google Privacy Policy (https://policies.google.com/privacy).

When you open content from TikTok, Instagram or Facebook, their terms also apply: TikTok Terms of Service, Instagram Terms of Use and Meta Terms of Service. Map places are shown with Apple Maps, under Apple's terms. Sign in with Apple and Sign in with Google are governed by Apple's and Google's terms respectively.

Our service

  • It is run by one person. The free plan costs nothing, and Plus is priced for a small service. We work to keep OurStash running and your content safe, but we do not promise that it will always be available, fast or error-free, and there is no service level or uptime guarantee. OurStash is not a backup service: keep your own copy of anything you cannot afford to lose, including trip plans.
  • Changes. We may change, add or remove features, set or change limits (for example how many lists, posts, members, followers, comments or reminders you can have), and change how the app looks and works, at any time. Changes to what Plus includes are covered in "OurStash Plus".
  • Stopping. We may stop offering OurStash. If we do, we will try to tell you at least 30 days in advance in the app or by email so that you can keep a copy of your links, except where that is not reasonably possible (for example for legal or security reasons). Plus subscriptions would not renew after that notice.
  • Platforms. Features that depend on other companies (sign-in providers, link details, maps, notifications, the App Store and its payment system) can change or stop working when those companies change their services, and we may have to remove or change features as a result.

Ending your use

  • You can stop using OurStash and delete your account at any time (Settings → Delete Account). Cancel OurStash Plus with Apple first; the Delete Account screen reminds subscribers, because deleting the account does not stop Apple's billing.
  • We may suspend or close your account, or restrict features, if you seriously or repeatedly break these terms, if we must do so by law or at the request of a platform whose terms we have to follow, or where reasonably necessary to protect other people, OurStash or ourselves. Where we reasonably can, we will tell you why and give you a chance to respond. We may act without notice when necessary to prevent harm or when notice is not allowed.
  • If we close your account for breaking these terms, you are not entitled to a refund of any Plus period from us; you may still ask Apple. If we close your account for another reason while you have Plus, we will support your refund request to Apple for the unused part of your current period, because only Apple can issue the refund.
  • When your account ends, your content is deleted as described in the Privacy Policy, and the licence you gave us ends subject to the retention periods described there. The sections on your content (as to copies kept by others), reporting, copyright, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnity, disputes and general terms continue to apply.

Disclaimers

OurStash is provided "as is" and "as available". To the fullest extent the law allows, we make no promises or warranties of any kind about OurStash, express or implied, including that it will be available, uninterrupted, secure, accurate or free of errors, that any content saved by you or others will be preserved, that reminders will be delivered on time, or that links and embedded content from other platforms will keep working. To the same extent, we disclaim implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title and non-infringement.

Some places do not allow some of these disclaimers. In particular, if you are a consumer, nothing in this section takes away warranties or rights that your law says cannot be excluded (in Massachusetts, this includes your rights under the consumer protection statute, General Laws chapter 93A, and rules that limit the exclusion of implied warranties in consumer transactions). In those places, the disclaimers apply only as far as the law allows.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent the law allows:

  • We are not liable to you for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary or punitive damages, or for any loss of data, content, profits, revenue, goodwill or opportunities, however caused, arising out of or connected with OurStash, these terms, or content, ads or links saved, shared, published or supplied by other people, advertisers or platforms, even if we were told it was possible.
  • Our total liability to you for all claims arising out of or connected with OurStash or these terms is limited to the greater of (a) the amounts you paid for OurStash Plus in the 12 months before the event giving rise to the claim and (b) 50 US dollars.

These limits do not apply to liability that cannot be limited by law, including liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, for gross negligence or wilful misconduct, or for breaches of consumer protection law that cannot be waived (including, in Massachusetts, General Laws chapter 93A). If you are a consumer in the European Economic Area or the UK, nothing in these terms affects your statutory rights, and we remain liable to you under your country's mandatory consumer law. The limits in this section apply only to the extent they are permitted where you live, and each part of this section is meant to be enforced separately.

Your responsibility to us

To the extent the law allows, you agree to compensate and defend us against claims, demands, losses and reasonable costs (including reasonable legal fees) brought by a third party that arise from your content, from your use of OurStash in breach of these terms or the law, or from your infringement of someone else's rights. This does not apply to the extent a claim results from our own negligence or breach of these terms, and it does not require you to compensate us beyond what consumer law in your country allows. We will tell you about any such claim promptly and let you take part in its defence.

Disputes

We would always rather talk first. If you have a problem with OurStash, email support@ourstash.app and we will try to sort it out with you.

Step one: talk to us (everyone)

Before starting arbitration or a court case (other than a small-claims case), you and we agree to try to resolve the dispute informally. The person with the complaint sends the other a written notice describing the problem and what they want done (you can email us at the address above; we will email you at your account's address). If the dispute is not resolved within 60 days of that notice, either side may go ahead as described below. This step pauses any time limit for bringing the claim.

If you live in the United States: individual arbitration

Agreement to arbitrate. You and we agree that any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to these terms, the Privacy Policy or OurStash (including whether a dispute is arbitrable, and including claims that arose before you accepted these terms) will be resolved by binding individual arbitration, not in court, except as set out in "Exceptions" below.

How arbitration works. The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules in force when the arbitration starts (available at https://www.adr.org), as modified by this section. The arbitrator is a neutral decision-maker who applies the same law a court would and can award the same individual relief a court could. Hearings, if any, take place by video or telephone, or in person in the county where you live, as you prefer. Filing and arbitrator fees are allocated under the AAA's consumer rules and fee schedule, which cap what a consumer pays; if those fees would stop you from bringing a claim and you ask, we will pay them, except where the arbitrator finds your claim frivolous. Each side pays its own lawyers unless the law or the arbitrator says otherwise. The Federal Arbitration Act governs this section, and a court with jurisdiction may enter judgment on the award.

No class actions. You and we agree to bring claims only in an individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any class, consolidated or representative action. The arbitrator may not combine another person's claims with yours or award relief to anyone other than you, except that the arbitrator may award public injunctive relief where the law requires. If this paragraph is found unenforceable for a particular claim or request for relief, that claim or request (and only that one) will be decided by a court, as described in "Courts and governing law" below, after the rest of the dispute has been arbitrated.

Many similar claims. If 25 or more people bring materially similar claims against us with the same or coordinated lawyers within 90 days, the AAA will administer them in batches of up to 50, with one arbitrator and one set of fees per batch, and the informal step above applies to each claim. This paragraph is intended to make arbitration efficient and fair for everyone, not to deny anyone a hearing.

Exceptions. Either of us may bring an individual claim in small-claims court (in the county where you live, or in Suffolk County, Massachusetts) if it qualifies there, and either of us may ask a court for an injunction to stop the unauthorised use or infringement of intellectual property or unauthorised access to OurStash. Nothing in this section stops you from reporting a matter to a government agency, such as a state attorney general or the Federal Trade Commission, which may seek relief against us on your behalf.

Your right to opt out. You can reject this arbitration agreement by emailing support@ourstash.app within 30 days of first creating your OurStash account, with the subject "Arbitration opt-out" and the email address on your account. Opting out does not affect any other part of these terms, and you will not be treated differently for opting out. If you opt out, disputes are resolved in court as described below.

Changes. If we change this Disputes section after you accepted these terms, you may reject the change by emailing us within 30 days of the change taking effect; the version you accepted will then continue to apply.

No jury. To the extent a dispute goes to court rather than arbitration, you and we each waive the right to a jury trial, as far as the law allows.

Courts and governing law

These terms, and any dispute between us, are governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, USA, and the United States, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules, except that the Federal Arbitration Act governs the arbitration agreement. Any dispute that is not subject to arbitration (including if you opted out) will be brought in the state or federal courts located in Suffolk County, Massachusetts, and you and we accept those courts' jurisdiction, except that you may instead bring an individual claim in small-claims court where you live.

If you live outside the United States, the arbitration agreement does not apply to you. You may bring a claim in the courts of the country where you live if its laws give you that right, and you keep the protection of your country's mandatory consumer laws; in all other cases the Massachusetts courts above have jurisdiction. If you are a consumer in the European Union or the UK and your country's law says so, your country's law governs these terms as far as it is mandatory.

Export and sanctions

OurStash is subject to United States export, sanctions and trade laws. You may not use OurStash if you are located in, or are a resident or national of, a country or region subject to comprehensive United States sanctions, or if you are on a United States government list of prohibited or restricted parties, and you may not use OurStash for any purpose prohibited by those laws.

General terms

  • Changes to these terms. We may update these terms as OurStash or the law changes. We will change the effective date at the top. If a change is significant, we will tell you in the app or by email at least 14 days before it takes effect, unless the change is needed sooner for legal or security reasons. If you keep using OurStash after a change takes effect, you accept the new terms; if you do not agree, stop using OurStash and delete your account before then.
  • Assignment. You may not transfer your account or these terms to anyone else. We may transfer them to a company we create or to a successor who takes over OurStash, and we will tell you when that happens.
  • Entire agreement. These terms, the Privacy Policy and any additional terms we show you for a specific feature are the whole agreement between you and us about OurStash. They replace any earlier agreement.
  • Severability. If any part of these terms is found invalid or unenforceable, that part is enforced to the extent allowed (or replaced by a valid part that comes as close as possible to its purpose) and the rest stays in effect, subject to the specific rule in "No class actions" above.
  • No waiver. If we do not enforce a part of these terms right away, we can still enforce it later.
  • Events beyond our control. We are not responsible for delays or failures caused by events outside our reasonable control, such as outages at our providers or the platforms whose content you save.
  • Independent parties. Nothing in these terms makes you and us partners, employer and employee, or agents of each other.
  • Language. These terms are written in English. Any translation is for convenience, and the English version governs.
  • Notices. We may give you notices by email to your account address or inside the app. You can give us notice at the contact details below.
