Terms of Service

1. Acceptance of Terms

By creating an account, accessing, or using PokéPrice(the “Service”, “Platform”, “we”, “us”, or “our”), you (“User”, “you”) agree to be bound by these Terms. If you are using the Service on behalf of a business or other legal entity, you represent that you have the authority to bind that entity to these Terms. If you do not agree to all of these Terms, you must not access or use the Service.

You must be at least 18 years of age to create an account. By registering, you represent and warrant that you are at least 18 years old and that all information you provide is accurate, current, and complete.

2. Nature of the Platform — Marketplace Intermediary

PokéPrice is a technology platform and marketplace intermediary only. We provide tools that allow collectors and vendors of Pokémon trading cards and related collectibles to discover each other, display inventory, and facilitate introductions for potential trades and sales. We are not a buyer, seller, broker, auctioneer, or dealer of any cards or collectibles.

We are not a party to any transaction between users. When a trade or sale occurs between two users of this platform, that transaction is exclusively between those users. PokéPrice does not take title, possession, or custody of any item, and does not collect payment on behalf of any user in connection with a transaction between users.

PokéPrice does not verify, inspect, grade, or authenticate any item listed on the platform. We do not guarantee the accuracy of any listing description, card grade, PSA or other third-party grading score, price, or any other information posted by a user. You acknowledge and agree that you transact with other users entirely at your own risk.

3. No Liability for User Transactions

PokéPrice is expressly not liable for any dispute, loss, damage, harm, fraud, misrepresentation, breach of contract, or any other claim arising out of or in connection with any transaction, trade, sale, or other dealing between users of the platform, whether or not such dealing was facilitated through the Service.

This includes, without limitation:

• Transactions where a buyer or seller acts in bad faith, commits fraud, or fails to perform their obligations;
• Items that are misrepresented, counterfeit, altered, stolen, or of a different grade or condition than described;
• Failure of either party to complete a transaction after agreeing to do so;
• Disputes over price, condition, authenticity, or value of any item;
• Loss of funds, items, or time arising from a transaction gone wrong;
• Any harm resulting from meeting in person to conduct a transaction;
• Chargebacks, payment disputes, or payment processor issues between transacting users.

Users are encouraged to exercise caution, conduct due diligence, and use secure payment methods with buyer protections when completing any transaction. PokéPrice strongly recommends meeting in safe, public locations for in-person transactions, using reputable escrow or payment services, and independently verifying the grade and authenticity of any card before purchase.

By using this platform, you release PokéPrice and its officers, directors, employees, agents, and successors from any and all claims, demands, damages, losses, liabilities, and causes of action of every kind, known and unknown, arising out of or relating to any dispute between users or any transaction conducted through introductions made on the platform.

4. User Accounts and Registration

To use the Service, you must register for an account by providing a valid email address and verifying it via the confirmation link we send. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account.

You agree to notify us immediately at support@pokeprice.app if you suspect any unauthorized access to or use of your account. You agree not to share your login credentials with any third party. We are not liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to maintain the security of your account.

We reserve the right to terminate or suspend accounts that appear to be shared, compromised, or used in violation of these Terms.

5. User Roles

The platform supports two user roles:

• Collector — A user who maintains a personal collection, a trade binder of cards available for trade or sale, and a wants list of cards they are seeking. Collectors may make their profile publicly visible within the Poké Bazaar to facilitate trades.
• Vendor / Curator — A user who manages inventory for commercial or semi-commercial purposes, creates public listings with prices, generates QR codes for physical displays, and tracks sales.

All users in both roles agree that by making their profile, trade binder, wants list, or listings public, they grant other platform users the ability to view that information for the purpose of facilitating transactions. Public profile information may be indexed by search engines.

6. Prohibited Conduct

You agree that you will not use the Service to:

• List, offer, or sell counterfeit, stolen, fraudulently graded, or materially misrepresented items;
• Create false or misleading listings with intent to deceive other users;
• Engage in shill bidding, price manipulation, or any form of market manipulation;
• Harass, threaten, intimidate, or harm other users;
• Use the platform for any unlawful purpose, including but not limited to money laundering or tax evasion;
• Impersonate another person or entity, or falsely represent your affiliation with any person or entity;
• Scrape, crawl, or systematically extract data from the platform without our express written permission;
• Attempt to gain unauthorized access to any part of the Service or its underlying infrastructure;
• Introduce viruses, malware, or other harmful code into the Service;
• Circumvent, disable, or otherwise interfere with security features of the Service;
• Use the Service in any manner that could disable, overburden, or impair the Service;
• Reproduce, duplicate, copy, sell, resell, or exploit any portion of the Service without express written permission from us.

Violation of these prohibitions may result in immediate account suspension or termination and, where applicable, referral to appropriate law enforcement authorities.

Informal Resolution. Before initiating any formal dispute, you agree to first contact us at support@pokeprice.app and attempt to resolve the dispute informally. We will try to resolve the matter within 30 days of receiving your notice.

Binding Arbitration.If informal resolution fails, any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or your use of the Service (other than claims for injunctive or other equitable relief) shall be resolved by binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules. The arbitrator's decision shall be final and binding and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.

Class Action Waiver. YOU AND POKÉPRICE EACH AGREE THAT ANY DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCEEDING WILL BE CONDUCTED ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT IN A CLASS, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, you waive any right to a jury trial.

This arbitration clause does not apply to users located in the European Union, where applicable EU consumer protection laws may govern dispute resolution.

14. Governing Law

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the United States and the State of Delaware, without regard to its conflict-of-law provisions.

We reserve the right to suspend or permanently terminate your account at any time, with or without notice, if we believe you have violated these Terms, engaged in fraudulent activity, or if your account has been inactive for more than 24 consecutive months.

For non-material changes (such as typographic corrections or clarifications), we will update the “Last updated” date and post the revised Terms. Your continued use of the Service after material changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the new Terms.

Severability. If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that the remaining provisions remain in full force and effect.

Waiver. Our failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not be considered a waiver of that right or provision.

Assignment. You may not assign or transfer your rights under these Terms without our prior written consent. We may assign our rights and obligations without restriction.

Force Majeure. We will not be liable for any failure or delay resulting from circumstances beyond our reasonable control, including natural disasters, acts of government, internet outages, or third-party service failures.
