⚖️ Gist

Terms of use

The rules for using Gist. By creating an account or using the service, you accept them.

Last updated: November 12, 2026

1. The service

Gist lets you create gift lists, share them with a link, let your loved ones reserve gifts without spoiling the surprise, and organize Secret Santas. The service is free.

Gist sells no products and takes no part in purchases: links lead to third-party shops, solely responsible for their products, prices and sales.

2. Your account

  • Your account details must be accurate. You are responsible for keeping your password confidential and for actions made from your account.
  • The service is meant for people aged 15 and over; below that age, with a parent's consent.
  • You can delete your account at any time from the “My account” page, or by writing to contact@gist-list.fr. Deletion erases your lists, the Secret Santas you organize and your participations.
  • An account without any sign-in for 3 years is deleted automatically, after a warning e-mail sent 30 days before.

3. Your content

You are responsible for what you publish (lists, wishes, letters, messages). Unlawful, insulting or discriminatory content, content infringing others' rights, and misleading or malicious links are prohibited.

You grant the publisher the right to host and display your content to the people you share it with, only to run the service.

4. Shared lists and reservations

  • Anyone with a list's link can view it and reserve a gift. Only share the link with people you trust; you can replace it at any time, and the old one then stops working.
  • A reservation is an indication between loved ones: it commits to no purchase, and Gist doesn't guarantee a reserved gift will be given.
  • Names, pictures and prices read from shop links are indicative and may be inaccurate or change.

5. Secret Santa

The organizer invites the participants and runs the draw, which is random and final. The budget is indicative. Gist isn't responsible for the gift exchanges between participants.

6. Fair use

Disrupting the service is prohibited: unauthorized access attempts, mass invitations, automated reservations, using link reading to visit addresses that aren't product pages, etc. The publisher may suspend or delete an account or content that breaks these rules.

7. Availability and liability

The publisher does its best to keep the service available and reliable, without being able to guarantee it: it may be interrupted for maintenance or technical issues. As the service is free, the publisher's liability is limited to direct damage caused by its fault, within the limits allowed by law.

8. Changes and end of the service

These terms may change; the update date is shown at the top of the page and significant changes will be announced. The publisher may change or stop the service, giving users reasonable notice.

9. Applicable law

These terms are governed by French law. In case of dispute, first contact contact@gist-list.fr to find an amicable solution. Failing that, the competent courts are those designated by law.
