Terms of Service

These Terms are a contract between you and CardFloor LLC ("CardFloor", "we", "us") covering every use of the CardFloor mobile app and the website at cardfloor.app, by any means, including automated means. By creating an account, using the app, or accessing any page of the website, you agree to them — whether or not you have an account. If you don't agree, don't use or access CardFloor.

Our Privacy Policy explains what we collect and is part of these Terms.

1. What CardFloor is — and is not

CardFloor is a record-keeping and reference tool for trading-card collectors and vendors. It helps you identify cards, estimate what they're worth, track inventory, and log the buying and selling you do at shows.

2. Prices are estimates, not advice

This is the most important section in this document, so it is in plain language.

Every price CardFloor shows you — including the "CardFloor Price", market prices, graded ladders, sold comparables, and any offer percentage the app calculates — is an estimate. It is produced from third-party data and public sales listings that we do not control and cannot verify. It may be out of date, incomplete, mismatched to the wrong card or the wrong printing, or simply wrong.

• Prices are informational only. They are not an appraisal, a valuation, an offer, a guarantee of resale value, or financial or investment advice.
• You are solely responsible for what you pay and what you charge. You should independently verify a card's identity, condition, and value before any transaction that matters to you. Do not treat a number in this app as a substitute for your own judgment.
• Card values are volatile. Past sales do not predict future prices.

3. Scanning, grading, and authenticity

CardFloor uses automated image recognition and text recognition to identify cards and to read information printed on graded slabs (such as a grading company, a grade, or a certification number).

• Identification can be wrong, including confidently wrong — it may return the wrong card, the wrong set, or the wrong printing.
• Reading a label is not authentication. CardFloor does not verify that a slab, label, certification number, or card is genuine, and it cannot detect a counterfeit or a tampered slab. Any verification indicator in the app reflects only what we could read and look up — never a guarantee of authenticity.
• CardFloor does not grade cards and any condition shown is your own entry or an automated guess.

Authenticity and grading are for the issuing grading company to determine. Verify certification numbers directly with that company before relying on them.

4. Changes and availability

CardFloor is under active development. It will contain bugs. It may change, break, or become unavailable without notice, and features may be added or removed. Data you enter may be lost, corrupted, or reset. Keep your own records of anything you cannot afford to lose — CardFloor is not a system of record for your business, your taxes, or your accounting.

5. Your account

• You must be at least 13 years old, and if you are under 18 you need a parent or guardian's permission.
• Keep your credentials secure. You're responsible for activity under your account.
• Give us accurate information and keep it current.

6. Your content, and the market index

You keep ownership of everything you put into CardFloor — your inventory, your photos, your deals, your notes. You grant us a licence to host, process, back up and display that content strictly to operate the app for you.

Separately, CardFloor builds an anonymized market index from completed sales: the card, its condition and printing, the price, and the date. These records contain no identifier for you — no name, no account id, no show, no location — and cannot be traced back to you or your business. We use them to make market prices reflect what cards actually trade for at real shows, and you get the benefit of everyone else's contributions in return.

You can turn this off at any time in Settings → Privacy → Contribute to the market index. Turning it off stops future contributions. Records already contributed are anonymous and cannot be identified or withdrawn afterwards, because nothing links them to you.

7. Our content and data

CardFloor — the app, the website, and everything we produce or compile, including the CardFloor Price and every other price estimate, price history, graded prices, sales data as we collect and present it, confidence ratings, card and set catalogues, images we host, and the selection and arrangement of all of it — belongs to CardFloor LLC or our licensors and is protected by copyright, database, trade-secret, and other laws.

We give you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to use CardFloor through our official app and website for your own collecting, or for your own business's buying and selling. Nothing else is licensed to you. The licence never covers anything section 8 prohibits, and it ends automatically the moment you breach these Terms.

8. No bots, scraping, or automated access

You may not, and may not help, instruct, or allow anyone else to:

• Use automation. Use any robot, spider, crawler, scraper, headless or automated browser, script, extension, AI agent, or other automated means to access, query, search, copy, download, or monitor any part of CardFloor — including card and set pages, prices, the CardFloor Price, price history, sales, graded prices, images, search results, or any API or endpoint.
• Harvest or compile data. Collect, extract, or compile CardFloor data — by any means, automated or manual — into any database, dataset, spreadsheet, feed, index, or service; or use it to build, train, fine-tune, test, or improve any product, pricing tool, or machine-learning or AI model.
• Use our systems outside the product. Call our APIs or backend services other than through our official app and website as they are designed to be used.
• Get around our limits. Bypass, disable, defeat, or interfere with any measure we use to limit or verify access — including human-verification checks (such as CAPTCHA or Cloudflare Turnstile), sign-in requirements, rate and daily-view limits, robots.txt, or IP blocks — or rotate IP addresses, proxies, devices, accounts, or user agents to avoid them.
• Multiply or share accounts. Create accounts by automated means, or create, buy, share, or use more than one account, to get around any limit.
• Republish or resell. Copy, frame, mirror, cache, archive, republish, sell, license, or redistribute any CardFloor data or content, or display it in any other website, app, or service.
• Reverse engineer. Decompile, disassemble, or reverse engineer the app, the website, or their network traffic, or attempt to access data you are not shown in the product.

Search engines. General-purpose public search engines may crawl the public pages of our website, in line with our robots.txt, solely to list them in search results. That permission does not extend to prices or other data for any other purpose — including datasets, archives, price comparison, or AI training — and we may withdraw it at any time.

Enforcement. We monitor for automated access. If we believe you have breached this section, we may, without notice: block your access; suspend or terminate any account; and serve limited, delayed, or altered data to traffic we believe is automated. Any breach of this section is a material breach of these Terms and access to our systems without authorization, and we may pursue every remedy available at law or in equity — including injunctive relief (you agree that a breach would cause us irreparable harm), damages, and recovery of our reasonable attorneys' fees and costs.

9. Acceptable use

Don't: break the law; infringe anyone's rights; upload malware; probe, scan, or test the vulnerability of, or overload, our systems or our providers' systems; submit deliberately false sales in order to distort the market index; impersonate anyone; or use CardFloor to defraud another user.

10. Third-party data and services

CardFloor depends on outside services for card catalogues, images, prices and sales data. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by any grading company, marketplace, publisher, or card manufacturer. Card names, set names, images and trademarks belong to their respective owners and appear here for identification only. Third-party services can change, restrict, or stop providing data at any time, which may degrade or remove features.

11. Paid features

CardFloor does not currently charge for any feature. If we introduce paid subscriptions, we'll tell you before charging, and billing will be handled by the Apple App Store or Google Play under their terms — including their refund policies, which we do not control.

12. Disclaimer of warranties

CARDFLOOR IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE", WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ACCURACY, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE APP WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE, OR THAT ANY PRICE, IDENTIFICATION, OR OTHER INFORMATION IT PROVIDES IS ACCURATE, COMPLETE, OR CURRENT.

13. Limitation of liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, CARDFLOOR LLC AND ITS OWNERS AND CONTRACTORS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOST PROFITS, LOST REVENUE, LOST BUSINESS, LOST DATA, OR TRADING OR PURCHASING LOSSES, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO YOUR USE OF CARDFLOOR — INCLUDING ANY DECISION YOU MAKE TO BUY, SELL, TRADE, PRICE, OR DECLINE A CARD BASED ON INFORMATION IN THE APP — EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY.

OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS RELATING TO CARDFLOOR WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US IN THE TWELVE MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM AROSE, OR (B) ONE HUNDRED US DOLLARS ($100).

Some jurisdictions don't allow certain limitations, so parts of this section may not apply to you. Nothing here limits liability that cannot lawfully be limited.

14. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless CardFloor LLC from claims, damages, and reasonable legal costs arising out of your use of the app or website, your content, your transactions with other people, any automated access or data collection by you or on your behalf, or your breach of these Terms.

15. Suspension and termination

You may stop using CardFloor and request deletion of your account at any time (see the Privacy Policy). We may suspend or terminate an account that breaches these Terms or creates risk for other users or for us. Sections 2, 3, 6, 7, 8, 12, 13, 14 and 17 survive termination.

16. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms. If the changes are material, we'll ask you to accept them in the app before you continue. The version and date at the top of this page always tell you which set is current.

17. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules, and the state and federal courts located in Massachusetts have exclusive jurisdiction.
