Terms of Service
Effective Date: April 29, 2026
Last Updated: July 15, 2026
1. Agreement to Terms
By accessing or using the Yapture website and any Yapture application, client, API, or related feature that we make available (collectively, "the Services"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). Product descriptions and previews are not representations that a feature is publicly available. See release status for current availability. If you disagree with any part of these Terms, you may not access the Services.
These Terms apply to all visitors, users, and others who access or use the Services. The Services are owned and operated by Capswan Studio LLC ("Company," "we," "us," or "our").
2. Use License
Subject to your compliance with these Terms, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the Services for your personal or business use.
Restrictions
You may not:
- Copy, modify, or distribute any closed-source component of the Services
- Reverse engineer or attempt to extract the source code of closed-source components
- Transmit viruses, worms, or malicious code
- Use the Services for any illegal or unauthorised purpose
- Violate any applicable laws or regulations
- Interfere with or disrupt the functionality of the Services
- Circumvent rate limits or scope restrictions on the API
Several Yapture components — including @yapture/nlp and @yapture/types — are
published under permissive open-source licenses; their use is governed by those licenses, not by these
Terms.
3. User Accounts
Account Creation
To access certain features, you may need to create an account. You must:
- Provide accurate and complete information
- Maintain the security of your password and OAuth credentials
- Notify us immediately of any unauthorised use
- Be at least 13 years old to create an account
Account Responsibility
You are responsible for all activities that occur under your account, including activity by OAuth clients or agents you have authorised. We reserve the right to terminate accounts that violate these Terms.
4. User Content
Your Content
You retain ownership of any content you submit through the Services ("User Content"), including yaps, lists, attachments, comments, and chat messages. By submitting User Content, you grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use, reproduce, modify, and distribute your content solely for operating and improving the Services.
Content Standards
You agree not to post User Content that:
- Is unlawful, harmful, threatening, abusive, or defamatory
- Violates any intellectual property rights
- Contains personal information of others without consent
- Is spam or unsolicited advertising
- Impersonates any person or entity
5. Privacy
Your use of the Services is also governed by our Privacy Policy. Please review it carefully — it explains what we collect, how we use it, and your rights.
6. Purchases and Payments
Yapture does not currently offer a verified paid production plan or accept production subscription payments. If paid Services are introduced, the price, billing period, cancellation terms, and any additional purchase terms shown at checkout will apply to that purchase.
Subscriptions
Any future recurring subscription will continue until cancelled under the terms disclosed at purchase. Refunds and cancellation timing will be governed by those disclosed terms and applicable law.
Payment Processing
If payment processing is enabled, it may be handled by a third-party payment processor. We do not intend to store full payment-card numbers. The processor's terms and privacy notice will also apply.
7. Intellectual Property
Our Property
The closed-source portions of the Services and their original content, features, and functionality are and will remain the exclusive property of Capswan Studio LLC and its licensors. The Services are protected by copyright, trademark, and other laws. Our trademarks may not be used without our prior written consent.
Open-Source Components
Yapture publishes several components under permissive open-source licenses (see each repository for the applicable license). Use of those components is governed by their respective licenses.
DMCA Notice
If you believe your copyright has been infringed, please contact support@yapture.com with:
- Description of the copyrighted work

- Your contact information
- A statement of good-faith belief
- A statement of accuracy under penalty of perjury
8. Agents and API Use
OAuth clients and automated agents are subject to scope restrictions, rate limits, and audit logging. You are responsible for the actions of any agent you authorise. You may not authorise an agent that violates these Terms or attempts to bypass rate limits or scope checks.
9. Termination
We may terminate or suspend your account immediately, without prior notice or liability, for any reason, including breach of these Terms. Upon termination, your right to use the Services will cease immediately. You may export your data at any time before termination.
