(corporation number: 4825824) whose principal place of business is 228 Park Ave S, #48734, New York, NY, 10003, hello@yotoplay.com (Yoto, we or us) and covers your use of Yoto Club, our audio content subscription service. By using Yoto Club, you accept these terms and conditions.
*What is Yoto Club and how does it work? **
The 3 tiers of subscription plans for Yoto Club are:
Explorer: This includes access to Yoto Originals digital content only (excludes licensed content purchasable stand-alone in digital format).
- Collector: This includes Explorer access, 1 Yoto Club Credit credited to your account every month, or 12 Yoto Club Credits credited to your account annually. Yoto Club Credits are redeemable on applicable Yoto Cards and Yoto Card Packs. Other benefits may include free shipping (domestic only) and discounts on purchases. These other benefits may be subject to additional terms and conditions.
- Collector+: This includes Explorer access, 2 Yoto Club Credits credited to your account every month, or 24 Yoto Club Credits credited to your account annually. Yoto Club Credits are redeemable on applicable Yoto Cards and Yoto Card Packs. Other benefits may include free shipping (domestic only) and discounts on purchases. These other benefits may be subject to additional terms and conditions.
*Disclaimer: Please note that benefits may be subject to change or withdrawal in Yoto’s sole discretion, at any time during a subscription period.
When and how will I be charged? All Yoto Club subscription plans come in monthly and annual options. When you sign up, you’ll be charged straight away (unless there is a free trial offer), and then billed periodically based on your chosen plan. Monthly members will be charged on the same day each month and annual members will be charged on the same date each year.
From time to time, there may be a free trial available. If you sign up for a free trial, you will start being charged the day after the free trial ends, unless you have taken steps to cancel via your account (see below). The date that the free trial ends and the date from which you will be charged will be set out in your account settings.
Your subscription will renew automatically for the same period as your initial subscription (unless you take steps to cancel via your account), with charges at the current, non-promotional rate. Cancelling means your subscription will continue until the end of, but won’t automatically renew, after the current term and you will not be charged for another term. See further information about how to cancel your subscription below.
If there’s a problem with your payment, we’ll notify you via email to update your payment method and attempt the payment again. If we’re not able to resolve a payment problem, your subscription will be automatically deactivated. You can reactivate your Yoto Club subscription at any time by purchasing a new subscription at the current price.
When do I get access to the digital content?
For all 3 tiers of Yoto Club, you’ll gain access to the digital content collection on subscription. You can enjoy digital content in physical format by adding the content to your library in the Yoto App, connecting to a MYO card or playing via the Yoto App. You’ll also get access to new Yoto Club audio content as soon as it’s available in the Yoto App.
We’ll continue to provide access to digital content until your subscription is terminated by either you or us.
How do Yoto Club Credits work?
Monthly subscribers will receive Yoto Club Credits each month (1 or 2 depending on your tier). Annual subscribers will receive all annual subscription Yoto Club Credits upfront at the start of the subscription period and upon renewal (12 or 24 depending on your tier).
If you are logged into your account, you will be able to see how many Yoto Club Credits you have available to redeem.
Remember: Yoto Club Credits can only be redeemed against Yoto Cards labelled as part of the Yoto Club selection in our cardstore.
When you select your Yoto Cards and add them to your shopping cart, the Yoto Club Credit/s will automatically be applied and deducted from your total amount due for payment.
Once you have completed your transaction to redeem Yoto Club Credits, the content will automatically appear on your account in the Yoto App, granting you instant digital access. The physical Yoto Card will then be delivered by mail to the address provided when you place your order.
If you cancel your Yoto Club subscription, we will send you reminders that your Yoto Club subscription is due to expire at the end of your current subscription period; you are responsible for ensuring you redeem any unused Yoto Club Credits before they are removed from your account. You will not receive a refund for any Yoto Club Credits not used during your subscription period.
Please ensure to use any unused Yoto Club Credits before your subscription ends.

Your rights
If there’s a problem with Yoto Club, your right to cancel your subscription depends on what’s wrong, whether it’s our fault, and when it happens.

* cancel your Yoto Club subscription,
- get a refund, or
- have the issue fixed.
You can immediately cancel and get a full refund for these reasons:
* if there are unacceptable upcoming changes to Yoto Club or these terms and conditions, - errors in our pricing or description,
- significant delays to the Yoto Club service because of uncontrollable events,
- if Yoto Club, the Yoto Website or Yoto App is suspended for over 14 days due to technical reasons, or
- if you have a legal right to cancel because of our fault.
Yoto’s breach of these terms and conditions NOT APPLICABLE TO CONSUMERS IN QUEBEC AND IN OTHER JURISDICTIONS WHERE THE FOLLOWING PROVISION IS NOT ENFORCEABLE: If we fail to comply with these terms and conditions, Yoto will be liable for any foreseeable losses or damages you suffer as a direct result of our non-compliance. By “foreseeable”, we mean it was either an obvious consequence or something that both you and Yoto understood could potentially happen when entering this agreement. We will not be responsible for any unforeseeable losses or damages.
Yoto Club is intended for personal, non-commercial use only. Therefore, we can’t be held liable for any business interruption, lost earnings, or missed opportunities, even if we breach these terms and conditions.
To be clear, we don't limit our responsibilities in cases where doing so would be unlawful. Specifically, we don’t limit our liability for breaches of your consumer rights or for instances of death or personal injury caused by our negligence.
Changes to Yoto Club and these terms and conditions
We'll do our best to keep you up to date when we're making changes to our Services. We can change, update, pause, or discontinue any of the Yoto Club features at any time. We don't need to give you any notice beforehand, but we'll try to be reasonable and let you know when we can. As we grow and improve Yoto Club, we might need to introduce new terms relating to any new features. We might do this by uploading a new version of the Terms to our website, with a date to show when we uploaded them or provide them separately to these Terms. If we provide them separately, you'll need to agree to those terms before you can use the feature. If you carry on using our Services after we make changes to the Terms, it means you've agreed to them. The new version of the Terms will replace the old version.
Assignment
As Yoto grows and evolves, there’s a possibility that we may transfer the rights and responsibilities outlined in these terms and conditions to another organisation. However, rest assured that any transfer would be done in a way that does not significantly impact your rights as a user.
Governing law and jurisdiction
These terms and conditions are governed by the laws of the State of New York and the state and federal courts of New York will have exclusive jurisdiction over any claim. THIS PROVISION IS NOT APPLICABLE IN QUEBEC.
