What Is a 'Lifetime Access' Membership to Yoyo Chinese Exactly?

The 'lifetime' in lifetime access means lifetime access to your account on YoyoChinese.com for the entire lifetime of Yoyo Chinese as a business and not your individual lifetime. In other words, as long as Yoyo Chinese is operating as business and the website/app is available for use, you will have access to your Yoyo account without needing to pay a recurring subscription fee and according to the access terms outlined here and elsewhere on Yoyo Chinese. The 'access' in lifetime access means access to your account and the stipulated video content and web/app features on YoyoChinese.com (and/or any mobile app version of YoyoChinese.com).
