Terms of Use

These Terms of Use (“Terms”) are an agreement between you and Lots & Found (“Lots & Found,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) governing your access to and use of the Lots & Found mobile application and related services (collectively, the “Service”). By creating an account or otherwise using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

The Service is provided by Jake Leffler, a sole proprietor operating Lots & Found in Missouri, United States. References to “Lots & Found,” “we,” “us,” or “our” in these Terms refer to Jake Leffler operating Lots & Found. You can contact us at curator@lotsandfound.app.

You must be at least 13 years old to use the Service (16 in the European Union and United Kingdom). If you are under the age of majority in your jurisdiction, a parent or legal guardian must review and agree to these Terms on your behalf and is responsible for your use of the Service.

Lots & Found is a private collectibles cataloguing app. It helps you organize physical items — graded trading cards, coins, vinyl records, video games, Lego, and more — into named “Lots,” track condition and professional grading, view estimated market prices, and use AI-assisted scanning to identify items. The Service is intended for personal, non-commercial cataloguing of your own collection. Lots & Found does not have public profiles, social feeds, trading, or marketplace features — your collections and Lots are private to your account unless you choose to export or share them outside the app.

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account. You agree to provide accurate information when creating your account and to notify us promptly at curator@lotsandfound.app if you suspect unauthorized use of your account. We are not liable for any loss arising from unauthorized access resulting from your failure to safeguard your credentials.

Lots & Found offers the following subscription tiers:

• Free — 10 AI scans per month.
• Pro — $4.99/month, 100 AI scans per month.
• Collector — $11.99/month, 500 AI scans per month and access to all pricing sources.

The market prices, value estimates, price history, and any “value analysis” shown in the Service are aggregated from third-party sources — including eBay sold and active listings, Discogs, PriceCharting, and AI-assisted search — and are provided “as is,” for general informational purposes only.

• Displayed prices and value figures are estimates — not an appraisal, a formal valuation, an offer to buy or sell any item, or financial, investment, insurance, or tax advice.
• We make no warranty, express or implied, as to the accuracy, completeness, or timeliness of any pricing or valuation information. Collectibles values fluctuate, and third-party pricing data may be delayed, incomplete, unrepresentative, or inaccurate.
• You should not rely on any price, value estimate, or projected return-on-investment figure shown in the Service as a guarantee of what an item is, or will be, worth.
• You are solely responsible for any decision to buy, sell, insure, trade, submit for grading, or otherwise act on an item, and should independently verify current value — including obtaining a professional appraisal where appropriate — before doing so.

Lots & Found is not liable for any loss or decision made in reliance on pricing or valuation information displayed in the Service.

The Service uses artificial intelligence (including models provided by Anthropic) to power scan identification, item summaries, condition estimates, and the AI Pre-Grade feature described below (together, “the Curator”). These outputs are automated and best-effort.

You retain ownership of the photos, descriptions, and other content you upload to your collection (“Your Content”). By uploading Your Content, you grant Lots & Found a limited, non-exclusive license to host, store, process, and transmit Your Content — including to the third-party services described in Section 10 — solely as necessary to provide and improve the Service to you.

You represent that you own or have the necessary rights to any content you upload and that it does not infringe the rights of any third party.

You agree not to:

• Use the Service for any unlawful purpose or in violation of these Terms;
• Reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract the source code of the Service;
• Scrape, harvest, or use automated means to access the Service or its data beyond normal personal use;
• Circumvent, disable, or attempt to bypass scan limits, subscription tiers, or other access controls;
• Resell, sublicense, or redistribute the Service, or any pricing or grading data obtained through it;
• Upload content you do not have the right to upload, or content that is illegal, infringing, or harmful.

Paid subscription tiers may advertise monthly giveaway entries. Any giveaway, sweepstakes, or other promotion we run will be governed by separate official rules published at the time it runs, which will include eligibility requirements, a free method of entry (“no purchase necessary”), odds of winning, and sponsor identification, and which will control over these Terms for that promotion. Participation in any giveaway is void where prohibited by law.

[PLACEHOLDER — official giveaway/sweepstakes rules, including a free method of entry, eligibility, odds disclosure, and sponsor identity, must be drafted and reviewed by counsel before any giveaway is run.]

The Service relies on third-party providers, including Apple, Google, Supabase, Anthropic, eBay, Discogs, PriceCharting, RevenueCat, and Expo, to operate. Your use of the Service may be subject to those providers' own terms of service. Lots & Found is not responsible for the availability, content, or accuracy of any third-party service or data, and does not control changes those providers make that may affect the Service.

The Service, including its software, design, the Lots & Found name, the “the Curator” brand, and all related content (excluding Your Content and third-party pricing data), is owned by Lots & Found or its licensors and is protected by intellectual property laws. Subject to these Terms, we grant you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the Service for your own personal cataloguing purposes. You receive no rights to our trademarks or branding beyond this limited license.

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ACCURACY, OR THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE, TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, LOTS & FOUND WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY DECISION YOU MAKE IN RELIANCE ON PRICING INFORMATION OR AI-GENERATED OUTPUTS FROM THE SERVICE. OUR AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THE SERVICE WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNTS YOU PAID US IN THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM AROSE, OR (B) FIFTY U.S. DOLLARS ($50).

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages, so some of the above limitations may not apply to you.

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Lots & Found from any claims, damages, losses, or expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your misuse of the Service, your violation of these Terms, or Your Content.

You may stop using the Service at any time and may delete your account in-app from Profile → Delete Account. We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service if you violate these Terms or if we reasonably believe your use poses a risk to the Service or other users. Upon termination, your right to use the Service ends; provisions of these Terms that by their nature should survive (including Sections 5, 6, 7, 11, 12, 13, 14, and 17) will survive.

We may modify or discontinue features of the Service, and we may update these Terms from time to time. If we make a material change, we will notify you in the app or by email at least approximately 30 days before the change takes effect where practicable. Your continued use of the Service after a change takes effect constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.

These Terms will be governed by the laws of [PLACEHOLDER: state/country], excluding its conflict-of-laws rules.

[PLACEHOLDER — the governing state/country and the venue or method for resolving disputes (e.g., courts or arbitration, and whether a class-action waiver applies) must be confirmed by the founder and reviewed by counsel before publication.]

• Entire Agreement. These Terms and the Privacy Policy are the entire agreement between you and Lots & Found regarding the Service and supersede any prior agreements.
• Severability. If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in full force and effect.
• No Waiver. Our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of our right to do so later.
• Assignment. You may not assign these Terms without our consent. We may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, on notice to you.
• Force Majeure. We are not liable for any failure or delay caused by events beyond our reasonable control.
• Electronic Communications. You consent to receive communications from us electronically (in-app or by email), and agree that electronic notices satisfy any legal requirement that such communications be in writing.
