Terms of Service – Yokee
Welcome to Yokee (the "Platform" or "APP"). The Platform is provided and operated by GUANGZHOU ZHIZHE HUI CO., LTD,
with its legal address at Room 106, Building 1, No. 28 Qinglan Street, Xiaoguwai Street, Panyu District, Guangzhou
City. These Terms of Service ("Terms") are written in English (US) and constitute the agreement between you and
GUANGZHOU ZHIZHE HUI CO., LTD for your use of Yokee.
This is an agreement between Yokee Team (the owner and operator of Yokee, including all content available through
the Yokee Website at https://Yokee.app, Yokee Client, and related services) and you ("you" or "User"), a user of the
Service. Yokee has zero tolerance for objectionable content or abusive users. If you do not agree to any of these
Terms, you may not use the Service.
Yokee Service
These Terms apply to all users of the Yokee Service. Status information provided by Yokee may contain links to
third-party websites not owned or controlled by Yokee. Yokee has no control over, and assumes no responsibility for,
the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party websites. Additionally, Yokee will not and cannot
censor or edit the content of any third-party site. By using the Service, you expressly acknowledge and agree that
Yokee shall not be liable for any damages, claims, or other liabilities arising from or related to your use of any
third-party website.
Yokee Access
Subject to your compliance with these Terms, Yokee grants you permission to use the Service, provided that:
(1) Your use of the Service is limited to personal, non-commercial purposes only;
(2) You will not duplicate, transfer, share, copy, or distribute any part of the Service in any medium without
Yokee's prior written authorization;
(3) You will not attempt to reverse-engineer, alter, or modify any part of the Service;
(4) You will otherwise comply with these Terms.
To access and use the Service's features, you acknowledge and agree that you must provide Yokee with your phone
number, as well as the phone numbers of third parties with whom you wish to use the Service. When providing phone
numbers, you must furnish accurate and complete information. You hereby expressly consent to Yokee using the phone
numbers provided to facilitate your access to and use of the Service. You may never use another person's phone
number without their permission. You are solely responsible for the status message displayed for your phone number.
You must notify Yokee immediately of any security breach or unauthorized use of your phone. Although Yokee will not
be liable for losses caused by unauthorized use of your account, you may be liable for losses incurred by Yokee or
others due to such unauthorized use.
Intellectual Property Rights
The design of the Yokee Service, along with all text, scripts, graphics (including stickers), interactive features,
and related materials made available through the Service (collectively, the "Yokee Client and Content"), except for
all User Status Submissions (as defined below), and the trademarks, service marks, and logos contained therein
("Marks"), are owned by or licensed to Yokee, protected by copyright and other intellectual property rights under
the laws of the United Arab Emirates, foreign jurisdictions, and international conventions. Subject to these Terms,
you are granted a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable, limited license to install and use the Yokee
Client and Content solely in connection with the Service for personal, non-commercial purposes. The Service,
including the Yokee Client and Content, is provided "as is" for your information and personal non-commercial use.
Yokee reserves all rights not expressly granted herein. You agree not to use, copy, distribute, or otherwise exploit
any part of the Yokee Client and Content except as expressly permitted, including any commercial use of User Status
Submissions from third parties obtained through the Service. You further agree not to use the Yokee Client and
Content in a manner that infringes or violates third-party rights, and acknowledge that Yokee shall not be
responsible for any such use by you.
Sensitive Information Feedback
Yokee has zero tolerance for objectionable content or abusive users.
Yokee uses AI technology to automatically identify pornographic content. Any user who posts pornographic material in
their profile, background, or room will be blocked within 24 hours.
Yokee administrators have the right to supervise and investigate. Users may immediately report abusive, suspicious,
or inappropriate online behavior. User accounts may be banned based on the severity of the behavior.
To prevent harassment, users have the right to remove other users from their room and add them to a blacklist.
User Status Submissions
The Yokee Service allows you and other users to submit status text and other communications ("User Status
Submissions") and host, share, and/or publish such submissions. As clarified below, you retain ownership of your
User Status Submissions. You understand that whether or not such submissions are published, Yokee does not guarantee
confidentiality for any submissions.
You are solely responsible for your User Status Submissions and the consequences of posting or publishing them.
Since Yokee acts only as a data repository, user-submitted statuses do not necessarily reflect Yokee's views or
opinions, and Yokee makes no guarantees regarding the validity, accuracy, or legality of any status. In connection
with User Status Submissions, you affirm, represent, and/or warrant that:
(i) You own or hold the necessary licenses, rights, consents, and permissions to use and authorize Yokee to use all
patent, trademark, trade secret, copyright, or other proprietary rights in your User Status Submissions, enabling
their inclusion and use as contemplated by the Service and these Terms;
(ii) You have obtained the written consent, release, and/or permission of each identifiable individual in the User
Status Submission to use their name or likeness as required for such inclusion and use.
To be clear: you retain all ownership rights in your User Status Submissions, but you must first hold the necessary
rights. By submitting User Status Submissions to Yokee, you grant Yokee a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free,
sublicenseable, and transferable license to use, reproduce, distribute, prepare derivative works of, display, and
perform the submissions in connection with the Yokee Service and Yokee's (and its successors') business, including
promoting and redistributing part or all of the Service (and its derivative works) in any media format. You also
grant each subscriber to your status on the Yokee Service a non-exclusive license to access your User Status
Submissions through the Service, email, and mobile phone, and to display parts of the submissions as permitted by
the Service's functionality and these Terms. This license terminates once you remove or delete a User Status
Submission from the Yokee Service.
In connection with User Status Submissions, you further agree not to:
(1) Submit material subject to copyright, trade secret, or other third-party proprietary rights (including privacy
and publicity rights) unless you are the owner or have permission from the rightful owner to post the material and
grant Yokee all licenses herein;
(2) Publish falsehoods or misrepresentations that could damage Yokee or any third party;
(3) Submit material that is unlawful, obscene, defamatory, libelous, threatening, harassing, hateful, racially or
ethnically offensive, or encourages conduct constituting a criminal offense, giving rise to civil liability,
violating any law, or otherwise inappropriate;
(4) Post advertisements or business solicitations;
(5) Impersonate another person;
(6) Send or store material containing software viruses, worms, Trojan horses, or other harmful code;
(7) Interfere with or disrupt the integrity or performance of the Service or its data;
(8) Attempt unauthorized access to the Service or its related systems or networks.
Adult content must be clearly identified. Yokee does not endorse any User Status Submission or any opinion,
recommendation, or advice expressed therein, and expressly disclaims all liability related to User Status
Submissions. Yokee prohibits copyright infringement and intellectual property violations via its Service and will
remove all Content and User Status Submissions upon proper notification of infringement. Yokee reserves the right to
remove Content and User Status Submissions without prior notice. Yokee may also terminate a user's access to the
Service if they are determined to be a repeat infringer or for any reason, including being deemed annoying. A
"repeat infringer" is a user notified of infringing activity more than once and/or whose User Status Submissions
have been removed more than twice. An "annoying person" is anyone determined to be so by authorized Yokee personnel.
Yokee also reserves the right to decide whether content or a User Status Submission is appropriate and complies with
these Terms for violations other than copyright infringement (e.g., excessive length or limited interest). Yokee may
remove such submissions and/or terminate a user's access for violations at any time, without prior notice and in its
sole discretion.
You understand that using the Yokee Service exposes you to User Status Submissions from various sources, and Yokee
is not responsible for the accuracy, usefulness, safety, or intellectual property rights of such submissions. You
further acknowledge that you may encounter inaccurate, offensive, indecent, or objectionable submissions and agree
to waive any legal or equitable rights against Yokee in this regard. You agree to indemnify and hold Yokee, its
owners/operators, affiliates, and licensors harmless to the fullest extent allowed by law for all matters related to
your use of the site.
Yokee permits you to link to materials on the Service for personal, non-commercial purposes only. Commercial use
requires separate licensing and terms. Yokee reserves the right to discontinue any aspect of the Service at any
time. YOUR USE OF THE YOKEE SERVICE IS AT YOUR SOLE RISK. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, YOKEE, ITS
OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, REGARDING THE SERVICE AND
YOUR USE THEREOF. YOKEE MAKES NO WARRANTIES OR REPRESENTATIONS ABOUT THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE SERVICE'S
CONTENT AND ASSUMES NO LIABILITY FOR:
(I) ERRORS, MISTAKES, OR INACCURACIES IN CONTENT;
(II) PERSONAL INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE ARISING FROM YOUR ACCESS TO OR USE OF THE SERVICE;
(III) UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS TO OR USE OF OUR SERVERS AND/OR PERSONAL/FINANCIAL INFORMATION STORED THEREIN;
(IV) INTERRUPTION OR CESSATION OF TRANSMISSION TO/FROM THE SERVICE;

(VI) ERRORS OR OMISSIONS IN CONTENT OR ANY LOSS/ DAMAGE INCURRED FROM USE OF CONTENT POSTED, EMAILED, TRANSMITTED,
OR MADE AVAILABLE VIA THE YOKEE SERVICE.
Yokee does not warrant, endorse, guarantee, or assume responsibility for any product or service advertised via the
Service, third-party websites, User Status Submissions, or other advertising, and will not monitor transactions
between you and third-party providers. As with any product/service purchase, use your best judgment and exercise
caution. AND AGAIN, USE THIS JUST FOR FUN.

IN NO EVENT SHALL YOKEE, ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, OR AGENTS BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT,

THIS LIMITATION OF LIABILITY SHALL APPLY TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW. YOU SPECIFICALLY ACKNOWLEDGE THAT
YOKEE SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR USER SUBMISSIONS OR DEFAMATORY, OFFENSIVE, OR ILLEGAL CONDUCT OF THIRD PARTIES, WITH
THE RISK OF HARM RESTING ENTIRELY WITH YOU. YOU AGREE NOT TO USE THE PRODUCT WHILE OPERATING A MOTOR VEHICLE, FOR
TIME-CRITICAL/EMERGENCY SERVICES, OR ANY OPERATION WHERE INJURY, DEATH, OR ECONOMIC DAMAGE COULD OCCUR. Yokee makes
no representations that the Service is appropriate or available for use in all locations. Those accessing the
Service from other jurisdictions do so at their own risk and are responsible for complying with local laws.
Indemnity
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Yokee, its parent corporation (if any), officers, directors,
employees, and agents from and against all claims, damages, obligations, losses, liabilities, costs, debts, and
expenses (including attorney's fees) arising from:

(ii) Your violation of any term of these Terms;
(iii) Your violation of any third-party right (including copyright, property, or privacy rights);

This defense and indemnification obligation survives these Terms and your use of the Service. Yokee does not support

Assignment
These Terms, and any rights and licenses granted herein, may not be transferred or assigned by you, but may be
assigned by Yokee without restriction.
General
You agree that:
(i) The Yokee Service shall be deemed a passive server, and does not create personal jurisdiction over Yokee
(whether specific or general) in jurisdictions other than the British Virgin Islands (BVI);
(ii) In the event of any legal dispute, you agree to submit to the jurisdiction of Hong Kong.
These Terms shall be governed by the internal substantive laws of Hong Kong, without regard to conflict of laws
principles. Any claim or dispute arising from or related to the Yokee Service shall be decided exclusively by a
court of competent jurisdiction in Hong Kong. Privacy and other legal notices published by Yokee constitute the
entire agreement between you and Yokee regarding the Service. If any provision of these Terms is deemed invalid by a
court, the invalidity shall not affect the remaining provisions, which shall remain in force. No waiver of any term
shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver, and Yokee's failure to assert any right shall not constitute a
waiver. Yokee reserves the right to amend these Terms at any time, and it is your responsibility to review them for
changes. Your use of the Service following any amendment signifies your assent to the revised terms. YOU AND YOKEE
AGREE THAT ANY CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING FROM THE SERVICE MUST COMMENCE WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER THE CAUSE ACCRUES;
OTHERWISE, IT IS PERMANENTLY BARRED.
Legal Jurisdiction
This Policy shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Hong Kong, without regard to choice of
law principles. Any dispute arising out of or in connection with these Terms (including regarding their existence,
validity, or termination) shall be referred to and finally resolved by arbitration administered by the Hong Kong
International Arbitration Centre ("HKIAC") in accordance with its then-current Arbitration Rules, which are deemed
incorporated by reference. The seat of the arbitration shall be Hong Kong.
