Terms of use

Agreeing to these terms

These terms of use (“terms”) govern your use of yemez.com (the “site”), which is run by Utlyze (“Utlyze,” “we,” “us” or “our”). By using the site, you agree to these terms and to our privacy policy. If you do not agree, do not use the site.

If you use the site for a company or other organization, you confirm that you can accept these terms for it, and “you” includes that organization.

What Yemez is, and is not

Yemez is an informational site and an AI agent connection layer. It explains how AI agents and AI assistants can order background checks from a consumer reporting agency (CRA), and it points them to that CRA’s live connection details.

Yemez does not prepare or furnish consumer reports and is not a consumer reporting agency. Background checks are prepared and delivered by the CRA that fulfils them. Today, that is Vuplicity.

When you order a check, you order it from the CRA, under the CRA’s own terms, its privacy policy and the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). For Vuplicity, read its terms of service and privacy policy.

The site does not take orders or payments. Prices on the site are the CRA’s published prices, shown for information. The CRA’s live catalog and terms decide what a check costs.

Ordering background checks

If you order background checks from a CRA, yourself or through an AI agent, you are responsible for using them lawfully. In particular, you must:

• have a permissible purpose under the FCRA for every report, such as evaluating a candidate for employment;
• before you get a report for employment purposes, give the candidate a clear and conspicuous written disclosure that you may get a consumer report for employment purposes, in a document that consists only of that disclosure, and get the candidate’s written authorization (the CRA’s hosted consent flow is built for this step);
• if you use a report for employment purposes, then before you take adverse action based in whole or in part on it, give the candidate a copy of the report and a summary of their rights under the FCRA;
• after you take adverse action based in whole or in part on a report, send the adverse action notice the FCRA requires;
• follow the state and local laws that apply to background checks and hiring, including laws that limit when and how you may consider criminal history;
• give the CRA the certifications it asks for, and follow its terms; and
• keep candidates’ sensitive details out of AI agent chats, and send candidates to the CRA’s hosted flow instead.

Your AI agents act for you

You are responsible for what the AI agents you connect order and do, as if you had done it yourself. Set them up so that they order a check only when you have a permissible purpose, and so that they never make or imply a hiring decision.

Hiring decisions stay with the employer

The employer makes every hiring decision. Neither Yemez nor any AI agent makes it.

Not legal advice

The site gives general information. Nothing on it is legal advice, and using the site does not create a lawyer and client relationship. Hiring and background check rules vary by state, county and city, and they change. Ask your own legal counsel about your hiring policies and decisions.

Using the site

You may use the site to learn about Yemez and to connect your AI agents to the services it describes. AI agents and AI assistants may read and summarize the site, including llms.txt, as long as they do not overload it or misstate what it says.

You must not:

• break the law, or use the site to help anyone else break it;
• try to reach parts of the site or its systems that are not public, or interfere with how the site works;
• send automated traffic that overloads the site; or
• pretend to be Yemez or Utlyze, or suggest that we endorse you when we do not.

Other sites and services

The site links to websites and services that run under their own terms, including Vuplicity’s website, sign-up page, developer documentation, API and MCP server, and the booking page on utlyze.com. Their terms, not these, govern your use of them. We are not responsible for their content, availability or practices.

The connection details on the Connect page are Vuplicity’s. Vuplicity decides who can use them, what they cost and whether they are available.

Content and trademarks

The site’s text, graphics, design and code, and the Yemez name and wordmark, are protected by copyright, trademark and other laws. You may view, print and share pages from the site for your own personal or internal business use. You may also copy the code examples on the Connect page to connect your AI agents. Do not otherwise copy, change, sell or reuse the site’s content without our written permission.

Vuplicity and other product and company names on the site belong to their owners.

Disclaimers

We work to keep the site accurate, but it may contain mistakes or information that is out of date. Prices, packages, connection details and features can change. The CRA’s live catalog, documentation and terms control.

The site is provided “as is” and “as available.” To the fullest extent the law allows, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title and non-infringement. We do not promise that the site will always be available or free of errors or harmful code.

We do not guarantee the result, accuracy or timing of any background check, or that any use of a check meets the law. Those are matters between you and the CRA that fulfils the check, and your own legal duties.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent the law allows, Utlyze will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, data or business opportunities, arising out of or related to the site or these terms.

Our total liability for any claim arising out of or related to the site or these terms will not be more than the amount you paid Utlyze to use the site in the 12 months before the claim.

Some places do not allow some of these limits. Where that is the case, they apply only as far as the law allows. Nothing in these terms limits liability that the law does not allow us to limit.

Your responsibility for claims

If someone brings a claim against Utlyze because of your misuse of the site, your breach of these terms, or your violation of the law or of someone else’s rights, including through a background check that you or your AI agents ordered, you agree to cover Utlyze’s resulting losses and reasonable costs, including reasonable legal fees, to the extent the law allows.

Governing law and disputes

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Utah, without regard to its conflict of law principles. Any dispute arising under these terms will be resolved in the state or federal courts located in Utah, and you and we agree to the jurisdiction of those courts.

Before either of us starts formal legal action, we both agree to try to resolve the dispute through good faith negotiation for at least 30 days.

Changes to the site and these terms

We may change, suspend or stop any part of the site at any time. We may also update these terms. When we do, we will post the new version on this page and change the “Last updated” date. Changes take effect when they are posted, and if you keep using the site after that, you accept them. This version takes effect on September 29, 2026.

General terms

These terms and our privacy policy are the whole agreement between you and Utlyze about the site. If you have a separate written agreement with Utlyze or with a CRA, that agreement governs the services it covers.

If a court finds any part of these terms unenforceable, the rest stays in effect. If we do not enforce a term right away, we have not given up the right to enforce it later. You may not transfer these terms to anyone else. We may transfer them as part of a sale, merger or reorganization.
