Terms & Conditions

Last updated February 2023

The Terms of Use and the underlying notices and processing guidelines are an agreement between you, the user of our file sharing services transmitted via this website or the ysendit apps and nweber.de, the provider of this file sharing service, further referred to as ysendit.

By accessing or using any part of our service, you fully agree to these Terms of Use. In the event that ysendit becomes aware of or is notified of any alleged unlawful activity, ysendit reserves the right to follow the procedure described in this Terms of service. For more information about how ysendit processes personal information and cookies, please see our Privacy Policy.

Services

ysendit provides you with the infrastructure and facilities to transfer and receive digital data up to 5 terrabytes (TB) per transfer to others and/or yourself via our website and apps under the terms and conditions set out in this Agreement. ysendit transfers all types of data, subject to these terms and conditions.

Users can share files via link and mail for free through the public instance, or can purchase an own dedicated file sharing instance (further referred to as "private instance") for a fee. Both use cases are covered in and are subject to these terms.

Fair use policy

The following fair use policy only applies to the public ysendit Instance.

Users can share all types of files without a file size restriction. ysendit doesn't limit the number of downloads of a Transfer either. However, we ask users to don't use the instance for commercial and bandwidth-hungry purposes and not to store data on it:

  • Do not store dead files like backups or archiving documents
  • Do not share large commercial movies
  • Do no illegal stuff

Data processing

For both instance types, uploaded data are stored and can be downloaded from ysendit’s servers for the selected duration. After this time, files will be permanently deleted. Transfer data of private instances is stored isolated. Each file can be sent via link or email to an unlimited number of recipients per transfer (each email is sent separately to each recipient for privacy reasons). If you have shared the file transfer by email, the recipients will receive an email with the download link of their transfer (for privacy reasons each recipient will receive a separate email). If a recipient has downloaded the Transfer, you will receive a notification by mail.

Service availability

We make every effort to ensure a trouble-free service with high availability. However, there is no claim to this.

Private instances are not monitored by us. If a private instance goes down or doesn't work as normal, ysendit makes every effort to restore its functionality after ysendit has been informed about the issue by the owner of the instance. However, there is no claim to this. If we can't repair the instance, you have the right to cancel the subscription prior to the end of the current billing circle and to get a refund for billed months after the current month.

Data ownership, permissions and responsibility

ysendit does not claim any ownership rights to the content of the data you transmit via our service. You are fully and solely responsible for the data you send via our service.

By using our Service, you warrant that you have all necessary permissions, including copyright and other intellectual property rights, for each file to be distributed, transmitted, stored and/or made available online as part of our Service.

Confidentiality

Every file transfer between you and the recipients is kept confidential. ysendit does not provide a public search function, catalog or listing to locate transfers. A listing of your transmissions can only be viewed through yourself on the ysendit.com website and the owner of the ysendit instance. For the public instance, this is ysendit, for private instances, this is the purchaser of the instance. ysendit will not look into your Transfers or files shared over the public instance unless it is necessary and in accordance with our privacy policy, for example to be able to provide you with (technical) support on your request. Please pay attention to who you give the download links to - whoever has them will get access to these Transfers (files).

Your emails, files and personal data will not be resold or otherwise used.
