Givym Terms of Use

Version 1.1.1, effective from 16 October 2026.

Welcome to Givym. These Terms of Use ("Terms") are a contract between you and Givym and apply to the app (iOS and Android), the website givym.com, the public pages at list.givym.com and all related services (together, the "Service").

By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use Givym.

1. Who we are

Givym is the name of a service operated by an individual in Brazil. The person responsible for the operation and personal data processing is identified in the Privacy Policy. No company has been incorporated.

Contact: [email protected].

2. What Givym is

Givym is a social gift-list service. You add the things you would like to receive (usually through a store link), share them with friends, groups and events, and the people who want to give you a gift can reserve an item or mark it as bought without you seeing it. We also offer event organisation, Secret Santa draws and dependant profiles (for example, your children) that you manage.

Givym does not sell products, does not process payments and does not deliver gifts. Purchases happen directly at the third-party stores you choose.

3. Account and eligibility

• You must be at least 13 years old to create an account. In countries where the law sets a higher age for consenting to the use of personal data (for example, 16 in parts of the European Union), that age applies. We check this using the country and date of birth you provide at sign-up.
• You can sign in with Google, with Apple or with a code sent to your e-mail. We do not use passwords.
• You are responsible for keeping access to your e-mail and your device secure, and for everything that happens in your account.
• Provide accurate information and keep it up to date. One person, one account.
• If you create a dependant profile, you confirm that you are the parent or legal guardian of that person (or the owner of the pet) and that you are allowed to add their name, photo and date of birth. Dependants do not have their own account or login; everything goes through you.

4. Your content

"Content" means everything you create or upload on Givym: items, links, titles, images, notes, group and event descriptions, event conversations and shared lists, Secret Santa messages, your gift profile, and profile and dependant photos.

• Your content is yours. You keep all rights to it.
• Licence to Givym. For the Service to work, you grant us a free, worldwide, non-exclusive, limited licence to host, store, reproduce, adapt (for example, resize images or generate share previews) and display your content to the people you share it with, and publicly when you set an item or list as public. This licence ends when you delete the content or your account, except for the time needed for backups (up to 14 days) and for anything already legitimately shared by other people (for example, a preview sent on WhatsApp).
• You are responsible for your content. Only post what you have the right to post and what does not breach these Terms or the Community Guidelines.
• Visibility. You control who sees each item: specific friends, all friends, groups, events or the public. Public items appear on an open link with no login; anyone with the link can see them.
• We may remove content that breaches these Terms or the law, and we may generate previews (title, image, price) from the links you paste.

5. Prohibited conduct

You agree not to:

• use Givym for illegal, fraudulent or deceptive purposes;
• harass, threaten, humiliate or discriminate against other people, including through the anonymous Secret Santa chat;
• post illegal content, sexual content involving minors, content that incites violence or hatred, or content that infringes third-party rights;
• impersonate someone else or create fake accounts;
• add people to groups, events or draws without their consent, or misuse other people's contact details;
• use malicious, misleading or scam links;
• send spam or unsolicited advertising, or use Givym for commercial prospecting;
• try to access accounts, data or systems without authorisation, circumvent limits, rig draws or uncover the hidden identity of whoever reserved or bought an item;
• scrape data, reverse-engineer or overload the Service;
• sell, rent or resell access to Givym.

The Community Guidelines explain what we expect and how to report.

6. Reservations, purchases and Secret Santa

• Reserving an item or marking it as bought is a notice to the other participants. It is not a purchase, a payment or an obligation. Givym does not guarantee that whoever reserved an item will buy it, or that the gift will be delivered.
• By default, the list owner never sees that an item was reserved or bought, or by whom. Group and event admins can change this rule for their context; when they do, it is shown in the group or event settings.
• Secret Santa. The draw is made by our system at random, respecting the configured exclusions, and can be verified by participants after the exchange. The organiser is responsible for adding only people who agreed to take part. If someone is added by name only (without an account), the organiser is responsible for the use of that person's e-mail or phone number.
• Prices, budgets and event rules are for information only and are set by users themselves.

7. Third-party stores and affiliate links

• Item links lead to third-party stores and websites. We do not control those sites, their prices, stock, delivery times, policies or the security of your purchases. Any purchase is a contract between you and the store.
• Titles, images and prices may be entered by you or obtained from available, authorised sources. They may be incomplete, outdated or wrong. Always check the store before buying.
• Affiliate disclosure. Givym uses approved links from programmes it has joined, currently Mercado Livre and Amazon. We may earn a commission from qualifying purchases, at no extra cost to you. Attribution depends on the store’s rules, product eligibility, attribution window and completion of the purchase; cancelled or returned orders may not earn a commission. Suggested products may be selected by our team and by store campaigns. Your personal wish list contains the items you add. As an Amazon Associate, Givym earns from qualifying purchases.

8. Givym Plus (when available)

We may offer a paid subscription, Givym Plus, with extra features. The subscription is purchased through the App Store or Google Play, renews automatically until cancelled in the store's settings, and follows Apple's or Google's refund rules. Prices and features are shown before purchase. You can cancel at any time; the subscription remains active until the end of the period already paid.

9. Intellectual property

The Givym name, brand, mascot, design, texts, code and everything that makes up the Service (except your content) belong to Givym or its licensors and are protected by law. You receive only a personal, limited, revocable and non-transferable licence to use the app and website under these Terms. Store and product trademarks shown in items belong to their owners.

If you believe content on Givym infringes your copyright or trademark, write to [email protected] with the link, a description of the work and your contact details.

10. App stores

When available through the App Store (Apple) or Google Play (Google), the app also follows those stores’ terms. Apple and Google are not parties to these Terms, have no obligation to provide support or maintenance for the app, and are not responsible for claims related to it. You must also follow the stores' terms.

11. Suspension and termination

• By you. You can delete your account at any time in Settings → Delete account. Access ends immediately and your data is anonymised within 30 days (see the Privacy Policy).
• By us. We may suspend or terminate your account, remove content or limit features if you breach these Terms or the Community Guidelines, if there is a risk to other people or to the Service, or if the law requires it. Whenever possible, we will tell you why, and you can reply at [email protected].
• We may also discontinue the Service as a whole with reasonable notice. In that case, you will be able to export your data first.

12. Disclaimers and limitation of liability

• Givym is provided "as is". We do our best to keep the Service available and secure, but we do not guarantee that it will work without interruptions or errors, or that previews, prices and links are always correct.
• We are not responsible for purchases, payments, deliveries, returns or the quality of products from third-party stores; for gifts that did not arrive; for disputes between participants of groups, events or Secret Santa; or for content posted by other users.
• To the maximum extent permitted by law, Givym is not liable for indirect damages, lost profits or loss of data, and our total liability for any claim is limited to the amount you paid Givym in the previous 12 months (or USD 20 if you paid nothing).
• If you are a consumer, nothing in these Terms excludes or reduces rights that the law of your country guarantees and that cannot be waived. In Brazil, the Consumer Defence Code applies; in the European Union and the United Kingdom, local consumer-protection laws apply.

13. Indemnity

To the extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to hold us harmless from third-party claims arising from your content or from your use of Givym in breach of these Terms or the law.

14. Changes

We may change these Terms to reflect changes in the Service or in the law. If the change is material, we will notify you in the app and by e-mail at least 15 days in advance and ask you to accept the new version to keep using Givym. Minor corrections take effect on publication. The current version is always at givym.com/legal.

15. Governing law and jurisdiction

• Brazil. These Terms are governed by the laws of Brazil. If you are a consumer, you may bring claims in the courts of your place of residence.
• European Union, United Kingdom and other countries. The laws of Brazil apply, but you keep the protection of the mandatory rules of the country where you live and may bring claims in the courts of that country.
• United States. The laws of Brazil apply, without prejudice to the rights guaranteed by the law of your state.

Before any dispute, please contact us at [email protected]. Most problems can be solved by talking.

16. General

• If any clause is found invalid, the others remain in force.
• These Terms, the Privacy Policy and the Community Guidelines form the entire agreement between you and Givym.
• You may not transfer your rights under these Terms. Givym may transfer them to the company that comes to operate the Service, keeping these Terms.
• The documents are available in Portuguese, English and Spanish. In case of conflict, the Portuguese version prevails for users in Brazil and the English version for everyone else.
