Terms of Service

These terms govern your use of ByUs (“ByUs,” “we,” “us”), a platform operated by Ryon Digital LLC that lets creators offer paid membership tiers, downloads, and other support options and lets fans support them. “ByUs” includes byusapp.com, our emails, private podcast feeds, and every other service we offer under the ByUs name. By creating an account or using ByUs, you agree to these terms and to our Privacy Policy. Creators also agree to the Creator Agreement and the Content Policy. Our Refunds & Cancellations page explains section 4 in plain words. If you don’t agree, please don’t use ByUs.

You need an account to create or support memberships. You’re responsible for keeping your login credentials secure and for anything that happens under your account. You must provide an accurate, working email address — we use it for account verification, receipts, and important notices about your account. Keep it up to date.

You must be at least 18 years old, or the age of majority where you live, to create an account.

One person per account. Don’t share your login or let anyone else use your account, and don’t sell, rent, or transfer an account to someone else. If you think someone has gotten into your account, change your password and email support@byusapp.com right away.

ByUs is a U.S. business and must follow U.S. sanctions laws. You can’t use ByUs if you are located in, or ordinarily live in, a country or region under comprehensive U.S. sanctions, or if you are on a U.S. government list of restricted people, such as the Treasury Department’s Specially Designated Nationals list. Creators must also be based in a country where ByUs supports payouts, which today is the United States and Canada.

What you can offer. Creators can publish public and subscribers-only posts, set one or more monthly or annual subscription tiers, and offer the other ways to support described in section 4.

Fees. ByUs’s all-in fee applies to each payment (memberships, tips, paid digital downloads, paid messages and video calls; gifts and tips sent during a live have their own rate, below) and is set each calendar month (UTC) by the creator’s total sales in the previous calendar month, net of refunds: 13% under $1,000; 12% at $1,000 or more; 11% at $1,500 or more; and 9% at $2,500 or more. The rate set at the start of a month applies to every payment in that month. It includes standard domestic and cross-border payment processing — ByUs, not the creator, absorbs Stripe’s additional charges for international cards and currency conversion. Founding creators receive a 10% rate for as long as they’re on ByUs, or the monthly rate above when it is lower, on every payment except gifts and tips sent during a live, which have the ByUs Live rate below. There are 50 founding spots, for creators based in the United States. Creators based in another country where ByUs supports payouts (today, Canada) can instead earn one of 50 international founding spots, the same way, which give an 11% rate (or the monthly rate above when it is lower) for as long as they’re on ByUs, because paying creators abroad costs ByUs more. Since October 10, 2026, a spot is earned automatically: the first creators to reach $250 in sales (net of refunds) within one calendar month get the next open spot, and the founding rate applies from their next payment. Spots reserved before October 10, 2026 keep their earlier terms: each is held until its setup date shown in the creator’s dashboard (no later than November 2026), and to keep it the creator must create a creator account and connect Stripe for payouts by then; otherwise the spot is released and becomes available to earn. A founding spot and its rate can also end for repeated non-delivery, as described in the Creator Agreement. Sales that are paid by you or for you, such as from your own or a related account, or payments arranged to reach the threshold, don’t count toward a founding spot; ByUs checks every newly earned spot and may remove one earned that way. Separate promotional fee credits may also apply. The rate actually charged is shown in the creator dashboard and checkout flow. Instant payouts, taxes, disputes, nonstandard payment methods, or other exceptional processor charges may still apply separately and will be disclosed where applicable.

ByUs Live rate. Live gifts are a separate feature with their own price. Live video costs ByUs for every minute it runs, unlike a creator page, so everything fans send during a live has its own rate: ByUs’s all-in fee on gifts and on tips sent during a live (including a showdown) is 30%, and the creator keeps 70%. This rate is the same for every creator, including founding and international founding creators, and it doesn’t change with monthly sales. Everything else a creator sells, including memberships, downloads and video calls bought from a card pinned to a live, stays at the rates above.

Payouts. Payments are processed through Stripe, and each creator connects their own Stripe account to receive payouts. ByUs routes the remaining proceeds to the creator’s connected Stripe account, and Stripe pays them out to the creator’s bank: weekly, on Mondays, for creators whose sales the previous calendar month were $100 or more, and monthly, on the 1st, otherwise. A monthly payout is sent once the available balance is at least $25; a smaller balance stays in the creator’s own Stripe balance until a later month, and any balance still waiting 90 days after the last payout is paid out regardless. Each payout costs ByUs a fee, which is why small balances are grouped. New accounts start on the monthly schedule, and Stripe may hold a new account’s first payout while it verifies the creator. ByUs may pause or delay payouts, or hold back part of a creator’s balance, when we reasonably believe it’s needed to cover refunds or disputes, to prevent fraud, because of a breach of these terms, because tax or identity information is missing, or because the law or a payment processor requires it. When we do, we’ll tell you why, unless the law or a processor doesn’t allow us to.

Taxes. You’re responsible for the income and other taxes on what you earn. ByUs or Stripe may ask for your tax information, report your earnings to tax authorities when the law requires (for example, on a Form 1099-K once U.S. reporting thresholds are met), and withhold tax when the law requires. Creators outside the United States give the tax information Stripe asks for in their country and may be asked to confirm they aren’t a U.S. taxpayer (for example, on IRS Form W-8BEN). Creators outside the United States are paid in their local currency; Stripe converts their earnings at its exchange rate when it pays them out, and ByUs covers the conversion cost. Any amount withheld and paid to a tax authority counts as paid to you. Keep your tax information accurate and up to date.

Your responsibility. You’re responsible for the content you post and for honoring what you promise subscribers. Content that is illegal, infringing, or that violates the content guidelines below can be removed, and repeated or serious violations can result in account suspension.

Creators also agree to the Creator Agreement and Content Policy, which are incorporated into these Terms.

Refunds and disputes. If a payment to you is refunded, reversed, disputed, charged back, or otherwise returned to a fan, you remain responsible for the creator portion of that transaction to the extent permitted by law and Stripe’s rules. ByUs may reverse or recover funds from your connected Stripe balance when appropriate, including when a dispute is lost or a refund is issued. Dispute fees charged by the payment processor are the creator’s cost and come out of the creator’s earnings, as described in the Creator Agreement. ByUs will not intentionally recover more than the creator share attributable to the affected transaction plus those dispute fees and, when a dispute is lost because the creator didn’t provide what was paid for, the card processing cost of that payment. Any recovery is subject to Stripe’s technical and legal limitations.

Conduct outside ByUs. Because creators earn money through ByUs, we may consider what a creator does outside ByUs when it creates a real legal, safety, or payment risk, such as fraud, impersonation, or using ByUs earnings for illegal activity.

New and test features. We keep improving ByUs, so we may add, change, test, or remove features, including early or test features offered to only some creators. Those can be turned on or off at any time and may have extra limits.

ByUs provides technology that lets independent creators publish content, offer memberships and digital products, and receive support from fans. Creators are not employees, agents, partners, joint venturers, or representatives of ByUs. ByUs does not create, control, endorse, or guarantee creator content, promises, products, qualifications, statements, or conduct. We review new creator pages, but we can’t confirm every creator’s identity or claims; please report a page that looks fake or misleading.

A transaction may be technically facilitated through ByUs, but each creator remains responsible for the legality, accuracy, quality, delivery, and fulfillment of what that creator offers, except for responsibilities that applicable law places directly on ByUs and does not permit us to transfer.

Each creator represents and warrants that they own their content or have every license, release, consent, and permission needed to upload, display, sell, and otherwise use it; that their content and offers are accurate and lawful; and that they will provide every promised membership benefit, product, or service.

Creators retain ownership of their content. They grant ByUs a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, store, reproduce, format, transmit, display, and distribute that content only as reasonably necessary to operate, secure, moderate, promote, and improve ByUs. This license ends when the content is deleted, except for reasonable backups, legal retention, and copies already shared at the creator’s direction. ByUs will never sell a creator’s work or use it for anything other than running and promoting ByUs and the creator’s page. ByUs does not use creators’ content, or anything fans post, to train artificial intelligence (AI) models, and does not sell or license it to anyone else to train them. ByUs does use automated tools to run the service, such as safety checks on photos and videos and automatic captions; these only process content to do that job.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, a creator will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Ryon Digital LLC, ByUs, and their owners, officers, contractors, and service providers from third-party claims, losses, liabilities, damages, judgments, and reasonable legal fees arising from that creator’s content, offers, conduct, breach of these Terms, violation of law, or infringement of another person’s rights. ByUs will provide reasonable notice of a covered claim and may participate in its defense. A creator may not settle a claim in a way that admits fault by or imposes obligations on ByUs without our written consent.

Subscription pricing and billing frequency are shown before purchase. Unless a tier includes a free trial, your first payment is charged when checkout completes. Subscriptions renew automatically at the displayed monthly or annual interval until you cancel. If a free trial applies, the recurring charge begins after the trial ends unless you cancel before then.

Prices, taxes, and payment methods. Prices are in U.S. dollars. Where the law requires sales tax or VAT, it’s added on top of the price and shown before you pay. ByUs accepts debit and credit cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and, for fans in the U.S., Cash App Pay. If your card is from another country, your bank may charge its own foreign transaction fee; ByUs doesn’t set that fee or receive any of it. A tier’s price doesn’t change after you join: if a creator wants a different price, they create a new tier, and you keep paying what you signed up for unless you choose to switch. If you switch to another tier of the same creator from your dashboard: moving up, the difference for the rest of the current billing period is charged right away and you get the new tier straight away; moving down, you keep your current tier until the period you paid for ends, then move to the cheaper tier and pay its price from then on. Upgrades during a free trial open once the trial ends. You see what happens before you confirm.

Failed payments. If a renewal payment fails, it may be retried. We’ll let you know, and you normally keep access for 7 days while you update your card. After that, your access to members-only content may pause until the payment goes through, and the membership may end if the payment can’t be collected. You can update your card with Manage billing on your dashboard.

Pausing. A monthly membership can be paused for 1 or 2 months from your dashboard. You keep access until the end of the period you already paid for; during the pause you aren’t charged and don’t have access to members-only content. Billing and access start again on their own when the pause ends. Resuming early during a pause starts a new billing period that day and charges for it.

What you get access to. When you join or buy, the creator gives you a personal, non-transferable permission to view what you paid for, for your own non-commercial use, while your access lasts. You can lose access if your membership ends or a payment fails, if the creator removes a post, stops offering a tier, closes their page, or blocks you, or if ByUs removes the creator or your account. If you lose something you paid for in a way that seems unfair, ask for a refund as described below and we’ll review it.

You can manage or cancel a subscription at any time from your dashboard. Cancelling prevents future renewal charges but does not automatically refund a payment that has already been processed.

Membership payments and one-time tips are generally non-refundable once processed. This does not limit any refund, cancellation, or dispute rights you may have under applicable law or card-network rules. ByUs may also issue a refund when we determine one is appropriate, including for duplicate charges, unauthorized payments, technical failures, or failure to provide the purchased access.

Single posts, paid messages, and video calls. A creator may let you buy one members-only post, or a bundle of members-only posts, without joining; that purchase gives you access to those posts only. Paid messages and video calls use a card hold: when you send a paid message or book a call, your card is authorized for the price shown but not charged. A paid message is charged only if the creator replies within 6 days; otherwise the hold is released. A video call is charged after the scheduled time if the creator joined the call, including when you did not join. If the creator does not join or cancels the call, or you cancel at least 1 hour before it starts, the hold is released and you are not charged. Your bank may show a released hold as pending for a few days.

Gift memberships. You can buy 3, 6 or 12 months of a creator’s membership for someone else, paid once at checkout. A gift never renews and the recipient is never charged. We email it to the address you enter on the date you choose (up to 90 days ahead), and its months start when the recipient claims it. The claim link works for one year after delivery. Gifts are final sale, except where the law requires otherwise or as described above; you can change the recipient’s email from your dashboard until the gift is claimed. If a gift payment is refunded or reversed, the gift membership ends.

Group memberships. Where a creator offers it, one person can buy a membership for 2 to 10 people (including themselves) as a single subscription, billed to the buyer at the price and any group discount shown before purchase. The buyer may invite, remove and replace people at any time; access for everyone in the group follows the buyer’s subscription and ends when it ends. Cancelling or refunds work the same as for any membership and apply to the whole group.

Breaks and limited tiers. A creator may take a break of up to 60 days. During a break, monthly renewals that fall before the creator’s return date are not charged, and members keep access to content already posted; yearly memberships continue as normal. A creator may also limit how many members a tier can have; a full tier can’t be joined or gifted until a spot opens.

Asking for a refund. If you believe you were charged in error, did not authorize a payment, or did not receive the access you purchased, use Request a refund on your dashboard or contact support@byusapp.com so we can investigate promptly. ByUs, not the creator, decides refund requests.

Private messages and video calls are between you and the other person, and the same rules apply to them as everywhere else on ByUs, including our Content Policy. ByUs is not an adult platform: sexual content, nudity, and adult services are not allowed in messages or on calls, paid or free.

Do not record, screenshot, or share a video call or a private message without the other person’s permission and where the law allows it. Do not use messages or calls to harass anyone, to ask for or offer payment outside ByUs for anything sold on ByUs, or to collect someone’s personal information for another purpose. Video calls run through our video provider and are not recorded by ByUs. Either person can block a conversation, and you can report a message or a call to us.

Members-only posts, photos, videos, and downloads are for your own personal use. Do not copy, share, resell, or publish them. Members-only photos and videos show a watermark with your display name and a short account code, so a copy can be traced to the account it came from. Do not remove, crop, blur, cover, or otherwise get around the watermark or the download protections, or help anyone else do so; that is a serious violation of these Terms, and we may suspend or close the account right away. Your private podcast feed link is just for you; don’t post or share it. We may reset a feed link that appears to be shared, and we may suspend accounts that share members-only content.

Members’ meetings. Creators can host group video meetings for their members. The same rules as video calls apply to everyone in the meeting: no sexual content or adult services, no harassment, and no recording, screenshots or sharing of the meeting or anyone in it without their permission and where the law allows it. Meetings run through our video provider and are not recorded by ByUs. The creator hosts the meeting and can mute or remove anyone, and you can report a meeting to us. Joining a meeting is part of your membership; it isn’t sold separately, and a missed or canceled meeting doesn’t change what you paid.

Live chat and showdowns. People watching a live can chat, send free cheers, and tip. Chat follows these Terms and our Content Policy: no harassment, hate, sexual content, spam or links. The creator can remove messages and mute anyone from their live chats. In a showdown, a creator invites another creator to join their live side by side for 5-minute rounds, and anyone signed in to ByUs can watch, cheer, tip and chat on the showdown page. Free cheers and tips move a scoreboard; points have no cash value, and nobody has to pay to take part. Each tip goes to the creator you chose, win or lose, under the same rules as any other tip, and is never moved to the other creator. The host may switch on a prize for a round, paid for by ByUs: the round’s winner keeps ByUs’s fee on the tips their fans sent during that round, except the card processing cost, which ByUs keeps. Tips that are refunded or disputed don’t count toward it. A tie means no prize. Otherwise a win is bragging rights only.

Live gifts. Where gifts are offered, you can open a gift tab during a live: ByUs places a hold for the amount you choose on your card, and each gift you send is counted against it. When the live ends (or within a few hours at most), you’re charged one payment for the gifts you actually sent, and the rest of the hold is released; if the total is under 50¢, nothing is charged. Gifts are tips to the creator you send them to, under the same rules as other tips and at the ByUs Live rate (section 3), and are generally non-refundable. ByUs doesn’t sell coins or keep a balance for you. Creators who join a showdown agree to appear on the other creator’s live, including the safety copy ByUs keeps of every live.

Guests on camera. During a live, a viewer can ask to join the creator on camera, and the creator can let up to three guests on at once and take anyone off at any time. A guest appears and is heard in the live by everyone watching, and is part of the safety copy ByUs keeps of every live. Guests follow the same rules as the creator (these Terms and our Content Policy): no sexual content, no harassment or hate, nothing illegal or dangerous, and no recording or sharing anyone without their permission. Breaking them can mean being taken off, losing chat or guest access, or losing your account. A creator’s gift menu (what a gift gets you) is the creator’s own promise to fans, like any other offer they make.

Selling during a live. A creator can pin one of their offers (a download, a membership, or video calls) to their live, and may give a pinned download a flash price for a few minutes. A flash price is the price shown on the card when you start checkout; once the timer ends, the regular price applies. Buying from a pinned card is the same purchase, under the same rules and refund terms, as buying from the creator’s page, and your name may show in the live’s chat (for example, “Kim bought …”).

Live auctions for video calls. A creator can auction one 1:1 video call during a live, starting at their own price for that call. Bidding is free and nobody is charged during the live; a bid is your promise to book and pay that amount if you win. The highest bid when the timer ends wins (a bid in the last 10 seconds adds time), and the winner is shown in the live. The winner has 24 hours to book a time at the winning price; booking holds your card the same way as any video call (section 4): you’re charged only after the call, and if the creator doesn’t join, the hold is released and you pay nothing. If the winner doesn’t book in time, the call may be offered to the next-highest bidder at their own bid. Winning and repeatedly not booking, or bidding with no intention to pay, can mean losing the ability to bid. Auctions are only for video calls on ByUs; creators can’t auction physical items or anything delivered outside ByUs.

Creator Lounge. The Creator Lounge is a discussion space for signed-in ByUs creators. Posts, replies, and photos there follow these Terms and our Content Policy, the same as anything else on ByUs. Other creators can see what you post, so don’t share anyone’s private information or members-only content there. Don’t use the Lounge for spam, harassment, or asking for payment outside ByUs. You can report a post or reply, and ByUs may remove posts and limit or end Lounge access for anyone who breaks these rules.

Don’t post content that is illegal, that infringes someone else’s intellectual property or other rights, or that harasses or endangers others.

ByUs is not an adult platform. Pornography, sexually explicit material, adult services, and any other content whose primary purpose is sexual gratification are not allowed anywhere on ByUs, in any tier or format. Content that sexualizes or otherwise endangers minors is never allowed, under any circumstances.

This includes linking off-platform to adult or sexually explicit content — in your bio, your posts, or anywhere else on your ByUs page. Directing people to adult websites or services from ByUs is itself a violation of these terms, even if the explicit content isn’t hosted on ByUs directly, and results in an immediate account ban.

Content that engages in, encourages, promotes, or celebrates unlawful violence, or hate speech targeting any group based on race, religion, disability, gender, sexual orientation, national origin, or any other immutable characteristic, is never allowed on ByUs and results in an immediate account ban.

Every photo or video you post must be your own work, or something you have clear rights and permission to share — including the permission of anyone else who appears in it. Content depicting a real person without their consent, including non-consensual intimate imagery, secretly recorded footage, or a deepfake or other manipulated media that portrays a real person in a sexual, violent, or misleading way, is never allowed, regardless of where it was originally created or hosted, and results in an immediate account ban.

We use automated screening — including keyword and link filtering — to catch violations of this section before content is published, in addition to manual review. New creator accounts go through a one-time initial review before their first payout. Until it’s cleared, a new creator’s payouts are held, and if the review finds a problem, ByUs may refund the payments they received.

We can remove content or suspend accounts that violate this, and we may report unlawful content to appropriate authorities where required. You can report anything that breaks these rules with the Report option on a creator page, post, comment, or message.

ByUs expects creators to only post content they own or are otherwise authorized to use. If you believe something on ByUs infringes your copyright, use the “Report” option on the relevant creator’s page, or send a notice to our designated agent:

Ryon Digital LLC (dba ByUs)
Copyright Agent
Email: support@byusapp.com
Registered with the U.S. Copyright Office, Designation No. DMCA-1080725

A notice must substantially comply with 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3), including a physical or electronic signature; identification of the copyrighted work; identification and location of the allegedly infringing material; sufficient contact information; a good-faith statement that the disputed use is not authorized; and a statement, under penalty of perjury, that the notice is accurate and the sender is authorized to act.

We review copyright notices and remove or restrict access to material we determine infringes. A creator whose content is removed this way can respond with a counter-notice, using the same contact method above, if they believe the removal was a mistake or misidentification. A counter-notice must substantially comply with 17 U.S.C. § 512(g)(3), including a signature, identification of the removed material, a statement under penalty of perjury, and consent to the appropriate federal court’s jurisdiction and service of process. We may forward notices and counter-notices to the affected parties. In appropriate circumstances, accounts of repeat infringers will be terminated.

Automated, fraudulent, or duplicate account creation, and any attempt to circumvent our account-verification or rate-limiting protections, is not allowed and may result in account termination.

Also don’t: impersonate anyone; use stolen cards or test cards; scrape ByUs or use bots to collect information; try to break into, overload, or reverse-engineer ByUs; get around a block, suspension, or limit; or use ByUs for something it isn’t built for, such as general file storage or moving money for others. These terms can’t list every possible kind of abuse. If someone finds a new way to harm ByUs, creators, or fans, we may act to stop it even if it isn’t named here.

You can stop using ByUs at any time. To delete your account, email support@byusapp.com from the email on your account; cancel any memberships first so you aren’t charged again.

We can suspend or terminate accounts, remove content or offers, and cancel memberships when an account violates these terms or creates a real legal, safety, or payment risk. Where reasonably possible we’ll give notice first, but we may act immediately for serious violations. If we remove a creator, we may cancel their memberships so fans aren’t charged again. If you think we made a mistake, use the appeal form and we’ll review it.

Decisions we make about someone else’s account or content are between ByUs and that person, and you can’t bring a claim against ByUs over them. Parts of these terms that by their nature should continue after an account closes, such as money owed, refunds and recoveries, licenses for copies already shared, limits on liability, and how disputes are handled, keep applying.

The service. ByUs is provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of any kind, to the fullest extent the law allows. We work to keep ByUs running, secure, and accurate, but we don’t promise it will always be available, error-free, or that content will never be lost, so keep your own copies of anything important.

Kinds of loss we don’t cover. To the fullest extent the law allows, ByUs isn’t liable for indirect, incidental, special, exemplary, punitive, or consequential damages, or for lost profits, revenue, data, goodwill, or business opportunities, arising from these terms or from using, or being unable to use, ByUs.

Creators’ offers and outside agreements. Each creator is responsible for what they offer (section 3A). ByUs isn’t liable for losses caused by a creator who doesn’t provide a benefit, product, reply, call, or content they promised, or for losses caused by an agreement you have with someone else, such as a contract with a label, publisher, agency, employer, or another platform, that conflicts with how you use ByUs. This doesn’t take away a fan’s right to the refunds described in section 4, or ByUs’s right to recover those amounts from the creator under the Creator Agreement.

The most ByUs will owe. To the fullest extent the law allows, ByUs’s total liability for all claims relating to these terms or to ByUs is limited to the greater of (a) $100 or (b) the fees ByUs kept from your payments or sales during the 12 months before the event that led to the claim. For a fan, that means ByUs’s share of what you paid, not the creator’s share; for a creator, it means the platform fees ByUs kept from your sales. A refund you’re owed under section 4 isn’t limited by this.

Who this protects. These limits also cover Ryon Digital LLC and its owners, officers, employees, contractors, agents, and service providers.

Some places don’t allow some of these limits. Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability that the law doesn’t allow us to exclude or limit, and your rights as a consumer under the law where you live still apply.

These Terms are governed by Florida law, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Unless applicable law requires otherwise, claims that are not resolved informally will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts serving the Florida county where Ryon Digital LLC maintains its principal office, and each party consents to those courts’ jurisdiction. Before filing, please contact us at support@byusapp.com and allow 30 days for a good-faith attempt to resolve the dispute.

We may update these terms as ByUs evolves. When we do, we update the date at the top of this page and list every important change in plain words on our What changed page. For an important change we also email account holders and show a notice in your dashboard, and creators are asked to confirm that they agree.

Changes to fees, payouts, or what ByUs may recover from a creator’s earnings apply to existing accounts 30 days after we announce them. Other changes apply when they are posted, and changes needed for safety, fraud prevention, a payment processor, or the law may apply right away. New accounts agree to the version in place when they sign up. If you don’t agree to a change, you can stop using ByUs and close your account before it applies to you; continuing to use ByUs after a change applies means you accept it.

To the fullest extent the law allows, if someone makes a legal claim against Ryon Digital LLC or ByUs because of content you posted, how you used ByUs, or your breaking these terms or the law, you will cover the resulting losses and reasonable costs, including legal fees. We’ll tell you about the claim within a reasonable time, and you’ll cooperate with the defense. Creators make a fuller promise in section 3B.

You may connect other services to ByUs, such as signing in with Google or Apple, receiving payouts through Stripe, linking Discord or Telegram for member access, or adding your private feed to a podcast app. When you do, we share only what’s needed to make that connection work, as described in our Privacy Policy. Those services have their own terms and privacy policies, and ByUs isn’t responsible for how they work. You can disconnect them at any time from your settings or from the other service.

What fans post. You keep ownership of the comments, messages, and other things you post on ByUs. You give ByUs the same limited permission creators give in section 3B: to store, show, and deliver what you post only as needed to run ByUs, ending when it’s deleted (except for reasonable backups, legal retention, and copies already delivered to others).

Our name and site. The ByUs name, logo, website, and software belong to Ryon Digital LLC and are protected by law. Creators may use the ByUs name and logo to tell people where to find them on ByUs, as long as it doesn’t suggest ByUs sponsors or endorses them. Any other use needs our written permission.

Feedback. We love hearing ideas and bug reports. If you send us feedback, we may use it to improve ByUs without owing you anything for it.

When ByUs offers text alerts and you sign up for them, you agree to receive automated text messages from ByUs at the number you give us, such as alerts about new posts from creators you support and notices about your account. Signing up is never required to buy anything. Message frequency varies, and message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP to stop or HELP for help. Carriers aren’t responsible for delayed or undelivered messages.

The whole agreement. These terms and the pages they incorporate are the whole agreement between you and ByUs about using ByUs, and they replace any earlier agreement on the same subject. The “In short” summaries and headings are for convenience; the full text controls.

If part doesn’t hold up. If a court finds part of these terms unenforceable, that part will be enforced as far as the law allows and the rest stays in effect. If we don’t enforce a right right away, we haven’t given it up.

Transfers. ByUs may transfer these terms if ByUs or Ryon Digital LLC is sold, merged, or reorganized, and they’ll keep protecting you the same way. You may not transfer your rights or account under these terms without our written permission.

Notices. You agree that we can send you notices, receipts, and agreements electronically, by email to the address on your account or in your dashboard, and that these count as being in writing.

Things outside our control. ByUs isn’t responsible for delays or failures caused by events beyond our reasonable control, such as outages at our providers, natural disasters, or government action.

Accessibility. We want ByUs to work for everyone. If something is hard to use with a screen reader or other assistive tool, email support@byusapp.com and we’ll help.
