Who publishes the service

Yearn is in a closed testing phase. The service works and earnings are real, but interruptions and corrections may occur.

Yearn is published and operated by Jonathan Ibor (Kola Studio), a sole trader established in France and registered in the Sirene register under SIREN 130 984 743. The yearn.fr website and the Yearn app are hosted by OVH SAS, 2 rue Kellermann, 59100 Roubaix, France.

What Yearn is, and what it is not

Yearn lists paid offers provided by partner networks: surveys, and games that pay by milestone reached. For each offer, the app displays a real hourly return in euros based on the time actually reported by users who completed it before you.

• Yearn does not create surveys and does not decide their content, availability or validation. Those decisions belong to the network and its advertiser.
• The displayed rate is an observation, not a promise. It describes what others have seen; it does not guarantee what you will get. A screenout during a survey remains possible on any offer.
• Yearn is not an employer and does not pay wages. Taking an offer is your own choice, with no subordination, imposed schedule or obligation.

Your account

• You must be at least 18 years old. You declare your date of birth during registration; if that date indicates that you are under 18, no account can be created.
• Only one account is allowed per person. Multiple accounts distort the rates shown to everyone and are treated as fraud by networks.
• You sign in with Google or Facebook, depending on the methods available and linked to your Yearn account. You are responsible for securing those accounts and your email inbox: access to them allows sign-in or confirmation of operations.
• The time you report must be honest: it feeds the rate other users will see.

How earnings are created

When you complete an offer, the network sends Yearn a conversion notification. Only that notification triggers a credit: no screen or message in the app counts as validation before it. The credited amount is the amount sent by the network, converted to euros if needed, and appears first in your pending balance.

This delay exists because an advertiser can cancel a conversion afterwards, for example because answers are considered inconsistent, the survey was completed twice, or fraud is detected later.

The survey provider may reverse a conversion up to 60 days later, so Yearn keeps earnings from these offers pending for 60 days to limit reversals after redemption. The game platforms have documented no reversal window: 30 days are kept for their offers, and that delay will be corrected here if their answer calls for it.

A survey can screen you out partway through, and the network then sometimes pays a small bonus for the time given. Yearn passes it on in full, keeping nothing: it is credited as an earning, with the same delay, and the app tells you so when you return from the questionnaire. A screenout without a bonus gives no right to any compensation.

A cancellation debits the relevant amount and is shown with its reason. It never happens silently. If you dispute it, write to me: each conversion keeps its evidence file so the dispute can be raised with the network.

Yearn cannot force a network to reverse its decision. What is guaranteed is that the record exists and can be held against them as it can against you. A successful dispute leads to a manual correction of your balance.

Referral terms

Referrals are available to Yearn account holders aged 18 or over. Only one account per person is allowed; referring yourself is prohibited.

You can enter a code in Account → “Got a code?”, even after installing the app, before your first validated earnings and provided you do not already have a referrer. Only one referrer can be attached to an account; this choice is permanent. Sharing a Google Play link does not apply the code automatically: it must be entered in the app.

Thresholds use cumulative earnings from partner offers, net of reversals and excluding bonuses. First stage: when the referred person reaches €5 in validated earnings, the referrer receives €0.50. These earnings may still be subject to retention. Confirmation: at €30 in cumulative earnings that have become available after retention has elapsed, the referrer receives a further €2 and the referred person receives €1. Spending the balance does not reset these totals.

A referrer can be rewarded for 50 referred people at each stage, with a separate cap for each of the two stages. The referred person’s €1 bonus does not depend on this cap or on the referrer keeping their account.

The referral is eligible for 180 days from code entry. On expiry, an unconfirmed referral is no longer processed and no further stage is awarded. Bonuses already paid are not removed solely because of this expiry.

Bonuses are credited automatically through periodic processing and may not be immediate. They are bonuses on the Yearn balance, usable for gift cards under the general redemption terms, with no cash payment.

The general rules against multiple accounts and fraud apply to referrals. A suspension is explained and can be challenged at jonathan@yearn.fr under the account suspension section. Referrers see aggregate counts, not the identity or individual earnings of referred people.

Redeeming your balance

Your available balance can be redeemed for gift cards when the product is offered and in stock. The current catalogue offers Amazon.fr cards of €10 and €25, subject to stock. Each exchange request undergoes an automated anti-fraud check, which may refuse it. If refused, your balance is not debited and no card code is issued. You can request a human review from the app. The check and the available remedies are described in the automated decision section of the privacy policy.

No cash payment, bank transfer or PayPal payment is offered. Amounts are shown in euros because it is the honest unit of account, not because they are transferred as cash.

A delivered code cannot be taken back, refunded or exchanged. The use of the card is governed by the issuer’s own terms, not by Yearn.

What may lead to account suspension

• Several accounts held by the same person.
• Automated, random or obviously dishonest survey answers.
• Use of a VPN, emulator or any method intended to mislead a network about your identity or location.
• Attempting to obtain a credit without completing the corresponding offer.
• Obviously false declarations about time spent.

A suspension is notified with its reason. You may dispute it at the contact address above; held earnings are released if the dispute succeeds. An anonymising network observed at the time of an exchange does not suspend an account on its own: it weighs on that check only.

Closing your account

You can delete your account from the app at any time. Account deletion is final: it causes the loss of the remaining balance, whether available or pending. The app therefore asks you to confirm the exact amount you abandon.

The app refuses deletion if that amount changed between display and confirmation. Redeem your available balance before deleting the account.

What remains after deletion, and why, is described in the Privacy Policy. Nothing that remains allows you to be identified.

Service availability

Yearn is provided as is, with no guarantee of continuous availability. The service depends on third-party networks, whose unavailability, offer removals or partner withdrawals are outside my control.

An interruption does not erase a balance: the ledger is kept so every amount remains linked to its source event.

Ownership

The app, the website and their content are protected by copyright. Google, Amazon, partner networks and other named brands belong to their owners; mentioning them does not imply partnership or endorsement.

Changes to these terms

Any material change will be announced in the app before taking effect. The date at the top of the page indicates the applicable version. Continuing to use the service after that date means acceptance.

Applicable law

These terms are governed by French law. In case of a dispute, an amicable solution will be sought first: write to me before taking further action.
