Terms of Service

These terms govern your use of Dear Yesterday, the website at dearyesterday.co, and the weekly newsletter delivered by email. By signing up, you agree to these terms. If you don’t agree, please don’t sign up — no hard feelings.

What Dear Yesterday Is

Dear Yesterday is a free personalized newsletter that delivers weekly historical content tied to your age and the life of someone you choose — a loved one, a historical figure, or your own past. We generate this content using historical records and AI-assisted writing.

Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old to use Dear Yesterday. By signing up, you confirm that you meet this age requirement and that the information you provide is accurate.

Your Account

You are responsible for providing accurate information at signup. One subscription per email address. If you need to update your information or have questions about your account, email us at hello@dearyesterday.co.

Our Content

The newsletters, website copy, design, and branding of Dear Yesterday are our intellectual property. You’re welcome to share individual newsletters with friends (we encourage it), but please don’t republish, redistribute, or resell our content in bulk.

Our newsletter content is generated using historical records and AI-assisted writing. While we strive for accuracy, we don’t guarantee that every historical detail is perfectly correct. Dear Yesterday is meant to be interesting and thought-provoking, not a primary reference source. If you spot an error, we’d love to hear about it.

AI-Generated Content

Portions of each newsletter are composed with the assistance of AI language models. We curate the inputs (verified historical data), review the outputs, and take responsibility for what we publish — but we want you to know that AI is part of the process.

Sponsored Content & Affiliate Links

Our newsletters may contain sponsored content or affiliate links. These are always identified. When you click an affiliate link and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. This helps keep Dear Yesterday free. See our Sponsorship & Affiliate Disclosure for details.

Unsubscribing

You can unsubscribe at any time using the link at the bottom of any newsletter. It takes effect immediately. You can also email us to unsubscribe or to request full deletion of your data. See our Privacy Policy for details on data handling.

Acceptable Use

Please don’t use Dear Yesterday to submit false information, attempt to disrupt the service, sign up other people without their knowledge, or use automated tools to create bulk accounts. We reserve the right to terminate accounts that violate these terms.

Disclaimer & Limitation of Liability

Dear Yesterday is provided “as is” without warranties of any kind, either express or implied. We do our best to deliver a reliable, enjoyable product, but we don’t guarantee uninterrupted service, perfect historical accuracy, or that every newsletter will arrive exactly on schedule.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Dear Yesterday and its operator shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages arising from your use of the service.

Changes to These Terms

We may update these terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we will notify subscribers by email. Continued use of the service after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.

Governing Law

These terms are governed by the laws of the United States. Any disputes will be resolved in accordance with applicable federal and state law.
