3. Use License

Permission is granted to temporarily download one copy of the materials (information or software) on YawdFinds for personal, non-commercial transitory viewing only. This is the grant of a license, not a transfer of title. Under this license, you may not:

  • Modify or copy the materials;
  • Use the materials for any commercial purpose, or for any public display (commercial or non-commercial) without our express written consent;
  • Attempt to decompile, reverse engineer, or "scrape" any software or data contained on the YawdFinds website or app;
  • Remove any copyright or other proprietary notations from the materials; or
  • Transfer the materials to another person or "mirror" the materials on any other server.

This license shall automatically terminate if you violate any of these restrictions and may be terminated by YawdFinds at any time.

5.2 Promoted Ads

You may purchase credits to promote/boost your listings.

  • No Refunds: Fees for Promoted Ads are non-refundable once the promotion has started, regardless of whether the item sells.
