FlipWorthy Terms of Service

Effective date: November 9, 2026 · Version: 2026-11-09

These Terms of Service ("Terms") are an agreement between you and [COMPANY LEGAL NAME] ("FlipWorthy", "we", "us"), the operator of the FlipWorthy app and related services (the "Service"). By creating a profile, subscribing, or using the Service, you agree to these Terms, our Privacy Policy and our Community Guidelines. If you don't agree, don't use the Service.

1. Who can use FlipWorthy

• FlipWorthy is for adults only. You must be at least 18 years old (or the age of majority where you live, if higher) to use FlipWorthy, create a profile, list items or send messages. We ask for your date of birth to enforce this. Giving a false date of birth breaks these Terms, and we will close accounts that belong to anyone under 18.
• You may not use the Service if we have previously banned you, or if the law where you live doesn't allow it.

2. Your profile and account

• You sign in with your email address and a one-time code. Keep access to your email secure; anyone who can read your email can sign in as you.
• Your username must be unique, and must not impersonate another person, brand or FlipWorthy staff, or contain offensive words. We may reclaim or change a username that breaks these Terms or that is needed to resolve a trademark claim.
• Your profile photo must be a photo or image you have the right to use, and must follow the Community Guidelines.
• Your date of birth is set once. If you entered it incorrectly, contact us at [CONTACT EMAIL].
• You are responsible for activity on your account. Tell us right away at [CONTACT EMAIL] if you think someone else has used it.
• You can delete your account at any time in the app (Settings → your profile → Delete profile and messages). See the Privacy Policy for what is deleted and what we keep.

3. FlipWorthy Pro subscriptions

• Some features (such as unlimited scans, bulk scanning, value updates, price history and price alerts, folders, exports, listings and messaging) require a FlipWorthy Pro subscription. The free version includes a limited number of scans each month.
• Fair use. "Unlimited" scans are subject to fair-use limits that stop automated or excessive use: currently up to 100 scans a day, 1,000 scans a month, 80 online value checks a month and 20 fresh web lookups a month for value updates for Pro, daily and monthly limits on new searches, and lower limits for the free version and for each device and network. Prices from card databases and PriceCharting, values already looked up and searches already made do not count toward these limits. When a limit is reached, the app tells you which limit it is and when it resets. We may change these limits to keep the Service available and affordable; changes that reduce Pro limits will be announced in the app before they apply.
• Subscriptions are sold through the Apple App Store or Google Play and are billed by them to the account you use there. Subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each period at the then-current price unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the period ends. You can cancel in your App Store or Google Play account settings; deleting the app does not cancel a subscription.
• If a free trial is offered, you will be charged when the trial ends unless you cancel before then.
• Refunds are handled by Apple or Google under their policies. We may change prices with advance notice as required by the store and by law; changes apply from your next renewal.

4. Values, rarity and identification are estimates

• Market values, retail and cover prices, rarity ratings and condition-based estimates are estimates based on third-party data and our own formulas. They are not appraisals, certified grades, offers to buy, or financial or investment advice. Prices change, and data can be incomplete or wrong.
• No price is guaranteed. All prices, values and estimates shown in the Service, including prices set by other users in their listings, are provided for general information only and are not guaranteed under any circumstances. We make no representation that any item can be bought or sold at any price shown. You are solely responsible for any decision you make based on a price or value shown in the Service.
• Photo identification and search results for comics, games, figures and some cards use automated tools, including artificial intelligence, and can be wrong. Always check the match (issue, edition, printing, variant and year) before relying on it.
• Value updates and price alerts (Pro) are provided as is. Card values are usually updated daily; other values are updated when newer sales data is available, which may take a month or longer. Updates and alerts may be delayed, missed or wrong, for example when you're offline or your phone limits background activity. An alert is information only, not advice to buy or sell.
• Some price data comes from third parties such as PriceCharting, TCGplayer (through TCGdex, Scryfall and YGOPRODeck) and others. FlipWorthy is not affiliated with or endorsed by them. When no price data is available, a value may be estimated automatically from public sales and listing information found on the web; these estimates show a range, a confidence level and links to their sources, and they may be incomplete or wrong. Each price in the app says where it comes from. The app may link to Amazon so you can check its current price there; FlipWorthy does not show Amazon prices itself unless they come from Amazon's own service with the time they were checked. Links to Amazon may become affiliate links (as an Amazon Associate, we would earn from qualifying purchases), and the app will say so where they appear. We are not responsible for third-party websites, products or prices.

5. Messaging, listings and dealing with other users

• Messaging lets Pro members who have turned messaging on contact each other by username. You choose whether to allow messages, and you can turn it off, block anyone, or report anyone at any time.
• Listings. Pro members with messaging turned on can list items marked “Flip it (for sale)” so other signed-in users can find them. A listing shows only your username, your country (unless you hide it), the item, its condition and the price you set. You are responsible for your listings being accurate, for owning what you list and for being allowed to sell it. Listings must follow the Community Guidelines. We may remove any listing, and listings come down automatically when you uncheck them, change the item to Keeping, delete it, lose Pro or turn off messaging.
• FlipWorthy doesn't sell items and is not a party to any deal between users. Listings are only a way for users to find each other. We do not verify users' identities, the items they own or describe, payments, shipping or condition. Any sale, trade or meeting you arrange with another user is solely between you and them, at your own risk. We do not provide escrow, buyer protection or dispute resolution for user deals.
• Your decision, your risk. Whether to accept another user's price, description, payment method, shipping or other terms of sale is entirely at your own discretion. FlipWorthy does not set, approve, guarantee or enforce the terms of any deal between users.
• Conduct outside the app. Communications, payments, shipping, meetings and any other conduct that takes place outside the Service are beyond our control, and we have no authority or obligation to enforce any agreement or resolve any dispute arising from them. We may still take action on an account under Section 8 based on credible reports of conduct outside the Service.
• Release. To the fullest extent permitted by law, FlipWorthy is not responsible for, and will not provide financial restitution, refunds, reimbursement or damages of any kind for, any loss arising from a transaction or interaction between users, including any scam, fraud, non-payment, non-delivery, counterfeit item, or misrepresentation of an item's identity, condition, grade, authenticity, ownership or value. If you have a dispute with one or more users, you release FlipWorthy and its owners, officers, employees, agents and suppliers from all claims, demands and damages (actual and consequential), known and unknown, arising out of or in any way connected with that dispute. If you are a California resident, you waive California Civil Code § 1542, which says: "A general release does not extend to claims that the creditor or releasing party does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release and that, if known by him or her, would have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor or released party." Residents of other places waive any similar law to the extent permitted.
• Use protected payment methods, never send gift cards or share sign-in codes, and meet only in safe public places. See the safety tips in the Community Guidelines.
• Messages are not end-to-end encrypted. We store them so they can be delivered and so we can keep the Service safe. We may review messages when they are reported, when we have reason to believe the Service is being misused, or when the law requires it.

6. Your content

• "Your content" means your username, profile photo, messages, reports, listing photos, item photos you share and anything else you submit. You keep ownership of your content.
• You give us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, store, copy, transmit, display and process your content only as needed to run, secure and improve the Service (for example, to show your profile photo to other users and deliver your messages). This license ends when your content is deleted, except for copies we must keep for safety, legal or backup reasons, as described in the Privacy Policy.
• You promise that you have the rights to your content and that it doesn't break the law or these Terms.
• Photos you scan to identify items are sent to our servers and our identification provider to return a result. We don't add scan photos to your public profile or share them with other users unless you choose to share one (below).
• Sharing an item photo. If you choose "Share my photo" for an item, the photo becomes that item's picture for everyone who looks the item up in FlipWorthy. It isn't shown with your username. For shared item photos, you give us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, copy, resize, display and distribute the photo within the Service to identify and illustrate that item, and this license continues after your account is deleted only for copies we must keep for safety, legal or backup reasons. Only share photos you took yourself of an item you have, with no people, personal information or other content in them. You can remove a photo you shared at any time, and we may remove any shared photo for any reason.
• Listing photos. A photo you add to a listing is shown with that listing to users who see it in Sales, until you remove it or end the listing.

7. Rules of conduct

You agree not to:

• harass, threaten, bully, stalk, or intimidate anyone, or post hateful, violent, sexual or sexually suggestive content;
• contact or attempt to contact anyone under 18 through messaging, or misrepresent your age;
• scam, defraud or mislead anyone, including by selling counterfeit, stolen or misrepresented items, or asking for payment outside protected methods to avoid accountability;
• impersonate any person, business or FlipWorthy;
• share anyone's personal information (such as address, phone number or financial details) without their consent;
• send spam, chain messages, unsolicited advertising or referral links;
• use the Service for anything illegal, or to promote illegal goods or activities;
• interfere with the Service, try to get around limits, security or safety features (including blocks), scrape it, reverse-engineer it, or access it with automated tools we haven't approved;
• infringe anyone's intellectual property or privacy rights.

We have zero tolerance for objectionable content and abusive users. We review reports and may remove content and suspend or ban accounts that break these Terms or the Community Guidelines, usually within 24 hours of a report.

8. Reporting, blocking and enforcement

• You can block or report any user from their profile, from a chat, or from Settings → Report / block user. Reports about someone you've chatted with include a copy of your recent messages with them so we can review what happened.
• We may, at our discretion and without prior notice where appropriate: remove or hide content, reset a username or profile photo, turn off messaging for an account, suspend or permanently ban an account, and report illegal activity (including any content that exploits children) to law enforcement and the appropriate authorities.
• Suspensions and appeals. If we suspend your account, we'll tell you why by email and in the app. Your collection on your phone keeps working, but messaging, listings and your profile are turned off. A suspension applies to your email address, including any new account made with it. You can appeal in the app (Settings → Your account is suspended). A person reviews each appeal. You may send up to three appeals per suspension, one at a time. Whether to lift a suspension is at our sole discretion, and our decision is final.

9. Intellectual property

• The Service, including the app, design, logos and software, belongs to us or our licensors and is protected by law. We give you a personal, non-transferable, revocable license to use the app for its intended purpose under these Terms.
• Item names, cover art, characters and trademarks shown in the Service belong to their respective owners. Their appearance doesn't imply endorsement.
• Copyright complaints: if you believe content on the Service infringes your copyright, send a notice with the information required by the U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. § 512) to our designated agent: [DMCA AGENT NAME], [MAILING ADDRESS], [CONTACT EMAIL].

10. Ending your use

You may stop using the Service and delete your account at any time. We may suspend or end your access if you break these Terms, if required by law, or if we stop offering the Service.

Termination for violations. If you misrepresent any item, attempt to defraud or mislead another user, or otherwise violate these Terms or the Community Guidelines, we may suspend or permanently terminate your account immediately, with or without notice. To the fullest extent permitted by law and the policies of the applicable app store, you will not be entitled to any refund, credit or proration of subscription fees already paid, including for any unused portion of a subscription period. Because subscriptions are billed by Apple or Google, a terminated account's subscription is not cancelled automatically: you must cancel it in your App Store or Google Play account to stop future renewals. Sections that by their nature should survive (such as content licenses needed for retained copies, disclaimers, limits of liability and dispute terms) survive termination.

11. Disclaimers

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE." TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ACCURACY AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DON'T PROMISE THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE OR SECURE, OR THAT VALUES, RARITY RATINGS OR IDENTIFICATIONS WILL BE ACCURATE. WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE CONDUCT OF ANY USER, ONLINE OR OFFLINE.

12. Limitation of liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, FLIPWORTHY AND ITS OWNERS, EMPLOYEES AND SUPPLIERS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, GOODWILL OR ITEMS, ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE OR ANY DEALINGS WITH OTHER USERS. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM RELATING TO THE SERVICE IS LIMITED TO THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US IN THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM AND (B) US $50. SOME PLACES DON'T ALLOW THESE LIMITS, SO THEY MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

13. Indemnity

To the extent permitted by law, you agree to defend and hold harmless FlipWorthy from claims, losses and costs (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your content, your use of the Service, your dealings with other users, or your breach of these Terms.

14. Disputes and governing law

Please contact us first at [CONTACT EMAIL]; most issues can be resolved quickly. These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of [STATE], USA, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute that isn't resolved informally will be brought in the state or federal courts located in [COUNTY], [STATE], and you and we consent to their jurisdiction, except that either of us may bring an individual claim in small-claims court. If you live in a country that gives you the right to bring claims in your local courts or under your local laws, nothing in these Terms takes that right away.

15. Apple App Store terms

If you downloaded the app from the Apple App Store: these Terms are between you and us, not Apple. Apple has no obligation to provide support or maintenance for the app and is not responsible for addressing any claims relating to the app (including product liability, legal compliance or intellectual property claims). If the app fails to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price (if any); to the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and may enforce them against you. You represent that you are not located in a country subject to a U.S. Government embargo or listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.

16. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. If a change is material, we will tell you in the app or by email before it takes effect, and may ask you to accept the new Terms to keep using profiles and messaging. The version and effective date are shown at the top.
