Terms of Service

Last updated: March 21, 2026

1. Introduction

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your use of Youfiliate (“the Service”), operated by Youfiliate (“we,” “us,” or “our”), located in Lisbon, Portugal.

By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

2. Description of Service

Youfiliate is a smart links platform for content creators and affiliate marketers. The Service provides:

  • Smart Links — geo-targeted, app-opening affiliate links with branded short URLs (youfil.to).
  • Geo-Routing — automatic redirection of visitors to their local storefront based on geographic location.
  • Deep Linking — opening merchant apps on mobile devices instead of mobile browsers.
  • Click Analytics — tracking click data including country, device type, and referrer.
  • Link Health Monitoring — automated detection of broken or degraded destination URLs.
  • YouTube Auto-Migration — bulk conversion of affiliate links in YouTube video descriptions to smart links, with the creator’s explicit authorization via YouTube OAuth.

3. Eligibility

You must be at least 16 years old to use the Service. By using the Service, you represent that you meet this requirement.

4. Account Registration

To use the Service, you must create an account with a valid email address and password, or sign in via Google OAuth. You are responsible for:

  • Maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials.
  • All activity that occurs under your account.
  • Notifying us immediately at andrew@youfiliate.com if you suspect unauthorized access.

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms.

5.1 youfil.to Short URLs

When you create a smart link, the Service generates a short URL on the youfil.to domain. These URLs redirect visitors to your configured destination based on their location and device.

Smart links you create are associated with your account. You are responsible for the destination URLs you configure. You may not use smart links to redirect to illegal, harmful, or deceptive content.

We reserve the right to deactivate smart links that violate these Terms. Deactivated links will return a 404 response.

6. YouTube Integration

6.1 OAuth Authorization

The YouTube Auto-Migration feature requires you to authorize Youfiliate to access your YouTube account via OAuth. This grants the Service permission to:

  • Read your video titles and descriptions to identify affiliate links.
  • Update video descriptions to replace affiliate links with smart links.

6.2 User Control

  • You initiate all migrations explicitly through a multi-step wizard.
  • You can preview all changes before confirming.
  • You can roll back any migration to restore original video descriptions.
  • Only the description field is modified. Titles, tags, thumbnails, and other metadata are never changed.

6.3 Disconnecting

You can disconnect your YouTube account at any time from the Settings page. This revokes our access and deletes stored OAuth tokens.

7. Subscriptions and Payment

7.1 Plans and Pricing

The Service offers free and paid subscription plans. Details of available plans and pricing are displayed on our website and may be updated from time to time. Price changes will not affect your current billing period.

7.2 Billing

Paid subscriptions are billed in advance on a recurring basis (monthly or annually, depending on your selected plan). Payment is processed securely by Stripe, Inc. By subscribing, you authorize us to charge your payment method on each billing cycle.

7.3 Free Trials

We may offer free trials at our discretion. At the end of a trial period, your account will be charged for the selected plan unless you cancel before the trial ends.

7.4 Cancellation

You may cancel your subscription at any time through your account settings. Upon cancellation:

  • You will retain access to the paid features until the end of your current billing period.
  • No refunds will be issued for partial billing periods.
  • Your account will revert to the free plan (if available) or become inactive.

7.5 Refunds

We generally do not offer refunds. If you believe you have been charged in error, contact us at andrew@youfiliate.com within 14 days of the charge, and we will review your request.

8. Acceptable Use

  • Use the Service for any unlawful purpose.

  • Use automated tools (bots, scrapers, etc.) to access the Service outside of its intended functionality.
  • Resell, sublicense, or redistribute access to the Service without our written consent.
