Terms of Service

1. What OWNED does

OWNED identifies trading cards from a photograph, shows what comparable cards have sold for, and keeps a record of the cards you own. You photograph a card, we propose the printings it might be, you confirm which one it is, and we price that exact printing.

Identification currently covers Pokémon. Other families return no result rather than matching against a catalogue that does not describe your card — the current coverage is listed on our home page.

2. What OWNED is not

• Not a marketplace. You cannot buy or sell through OWNED. We are not party to any transaction and we take no commission.
• Not an escrow or payment service. We hold no funds.
• Not a vault. We never take custody of a card.
• Not a grading company. We are not affiliated with PSA, BGS, CGC or any grader, and nothing we show you is an official grade.
• Not investment advice. Prices we show are historical observations, not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold.

When we link to a marketplace such as TCGplayer or eBay, we may earn a commission if you buy. That is disclosed where the link appears. Your transaction is with them, under their terms, and we are not part of it.

3. What we promise about the numbers

Two commitments, because they are the point of the product:

• We do not fabricate a price. Where we have no data, we show that we have no data. Every value carries the source it came from and says when the evidence is stale.
• We do not guess a grade. Estimated grades are ranges, never single numbers; the worst observed flaw sets the range rather than an average; and where a photograph cannot support an estimate we decline to produce one.

An estimated grade is our reading of a photograph. It is not an official grade, it is not a prediction of what a grading company will return, and you should not submit a card, or decline to, on the strength of it alone.

4. Your account

You need an account to save cards. You are responsible for keeping access to the email address you sign in with. One account per person.

You must be at least 13 years old to create an account. See our Privacy Policy for how we check this and what we keep.

5. Your content

The photographs you scan and the collection you build are yours. We do not claim ownership of them. We use a photograph solely to identify the card in it, and we do not keep the photograph afterwards.

To identify a card we send your photograph to OpenRouter, a third-party artificial-intelligence processor. What happens to the image there, and how long anything is retained, is set out in our Privacy Policy — read it before you scan.

You can export your collection at any time and delete your account and everything in it.

6. Acceptable use

• Do not automate access, scrape the service, or attempt to exceed the limits on your plan by technical means.
• Do not upload photographs of anything other than trading cards.
• Do not attempt to identify, deanonymise, or interfere with other users.

7. Subscriptions

Nothing is currently for sale. There is no billing connected to this service, and no paid plan can be purchased. Our pricing page publishes the intended plan and price and says plainly that it is not yet available. These terms will be updated before any payment is taken.

8. Availability

We do not promise uninterrupted service. Identification depends on a third-party AI provider and pricing depends on third-party data sources; when one is unavailable, the affected feature reports that rather than substituting a guess.

9. Termination

You may stop using OWNED at any time and delete your account from your account settings. We may suspend an account that breaches section 6.

10. Disclaimers and liability

The service is provided as it is. OWNED is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties or conditions of any kind, whether express, implied or statutory, including any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, accuracy, and non-infringement, to the fullest extent permitted by law. We do not warrant that the service will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, error-free, or that any defect will be corrected.

We do not sell prices, appraisals, or valuations. OWNED is an information tool. We do not appraise cards, we do not originate prices, we do not guarantee that any card can be bought or sold at any price, and we are not a party to any sale. Nothing in the service is an offer, a solicitation, a quotation, an appraisal, a valuation, a certification, or a guarantee of value, liquidity, or authenticity. No fiduciary, advisory, agency, brokerage or professional relationship is created between you and us by your use of the service.

Identification may be wrong. OWNED proposes candidate printings from a photograph and asks you to confirm which one you own. That confirmation is yours. We do not warrant that a proposed candidate is correct, that the ranking is correct, that the catalogue is complete or current, or that your card appears among the candidates at all. A card we cannot identify is not a statement that the card is not genuine or not valuable.

Prices are third-party observations. Prices shown are historical sale and listing data obtained from third-party sources. They may be incomplete, delayed, mistaken at source, withdrawn, manipulated, or unrepresentative of what your particular copy would sell for in your market at any given time. We do not control, audit, or independently verify those sources, and we do not warrant their accuracy, completeness, timeliness, or availability. Where evidence is stale or absent, the service says so, and that statement is itself information rather than a valuation.

Estimated grades are an opinion about a photograph. An estimated grade is our software’s reading of the image you supplied. It is not an official grade, not a prediction of the grade any grading company will assign, not a guarantee of any outcome, and not a substitute for professional grading. Professional graders assess centering, surface, edges and corners under magnification and controlled light, and consider factors that cannot be determined from a photograph at all. Lighting, focus, angle, glare, resolution and the condition of the reverse all affect what our software can see. Where our software cannot support an estimate it declines to produce one, and a declined estimate is not a statement about the card’s condition.

Decisions you make are yours. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any loss arising from a decision you make, or decline to make, in reliance on an identification, a price, an estimated grade, a grader-label reading, or the absence of any of them. This includes grading submission and shipping fees, the difference between a price you accepted and a price you might have obtained, a purchase you would not otherwise have made, a sale you would not otherwise have made, and any change in the value of any item.

Exclusion of indirect damages. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary or punitive damages, or for lost profits, lost revenue, lost business, lost opportunity, lost goodwill, lost or corrupted data, or the loss in value of any collectible or collection, however caused and on any theory of liability, whether in contract, tort (including negligence), strict liability or otherwise, and whether or not we were advised of the possibility of such damages.

Cap on our total liability. To the fullest extent permitted by law, our total aggregate liability to you for all claims arising out of or relating to these terms or the service, in aggregate and not per claim, will not exceed the greater of (a) the total amount you paid us in the twelve months immediately before the event giving rise to the claim, and (b) one hundred United States dollars (US$100). You acknowledge that this limit reflects a reasonable allocation of risk, that the service is currently provided without charge, and that we would not provide the service on these terms without it.

These limits survive a failed remedy. The exclusions and limits in this section apply even if any limited remedy fails of its essential purpose, and they survive termination of these terms.

What this does not exclude. Nothing in these terms excludes or limits any liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited, including liability for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or any right or remedy that applicable consumer-protection law preserves for you. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties or the limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so some of the above may not apply to you, and in those jurisdictions our liability is limited to the greatest extent permitted by law.

Third parties. We are not liable for the acts, omissions, availability, pricing, content, policies or conduct of any marketplace, grading company, data provider, payment provider, or artificial-intelligence processor that we link to, rely on, or that you reach through the service. Any transaction you enter into with a third party is between you and them.

Your indemnity. You agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless OWNED, its owners, officers, employees and contractors from and against any claim, demand, liability, damages, loss, cost or expense (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or relating to your use of the service, your breach of these terms, your violation of any law or of the rights of a third party, any content you upload, or any transaction you enter into with a third party. We may assume the exclusive defence and control of any matter subject to this indemnity, in which case you agree to cooperate with us.

Time limit on claims. To the extent permitted by law, any claim arising out of or relating to these terms or the service must be brought within one (1) year after it arises, and is otherwise permanently barred.

11. Changes

We may update these terms. If a change is material we will say so on this page and update the effective date.

12. Governing law and disputes

Governing law. These terms, and any dispute arising out of or relating to them, the service, or your use of the service, whether in contract, tort or otherwise, are governed by the laws of the State of Florida, USA, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules, and excluding the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods.

Talk to us first. Before starting an arbitration or any other formal proceeding, you agree to send us a written notice describing the dispute and the relief you seek, and to give us thirty (30) days to resolve it informally. We will do the same before bringing a claim against you. This step is a condition of starting proceedings, and the limitation period is paused while it runs. Most problems are faster to fix this way, and we would rather fix them.

Binding individual arbitration. If we cannot resolve a dispute informally, you and we agree that it will be resolved by binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, rather than in court, except as set out below. The arbitrator has exclusive authority to resolve any dispute about the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of these terms, except that a court decides whether the class-action waiver below is enforceable. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. Arbitration will take place in Miami-Dade County, Florida, or, at your election, remotely or in the county where you reside.

Class-action and jury-trial waiver. You and we agree that each may bring claims against the other only in an individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, collective, consolidated, coordinated, private-attorney-general or representative proceeding. The arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims or preside over any form of representative proceeding. You and we also waive any right to a trial by jury for any claim that proceeds in court. If this paragraph is found unenforceable as to a particular claim or request for relief, that claim or request is severed and proceeds in court, and the remainder is arbitrated.

Your right to opt out of arbitration. You may opt out of the arbitration agreement and class-action waiver by sending us written notice within thirty (30) days of first accepting these terms, stating your name, the email address on your account, and that you opt out of arbitration. Opting out does not affect any other part of these terms, and it will not affect your use of the service in any way.

Exceptions. Either party may bring an individual claim in small-claims court if it qualifies. Either party may also seek injunctive or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to prevent or stop the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of its intellectual property or security, without first following the informal-resolution or arbitration steps above.

Where court claims are brought. For any dispute that is not subject to arbitration, or if the arbitration agreement is found unenforceable, you agree to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the state and federal courts located in Miami-Dade County, Florida, and you waive any objection based on inconvenient forum. Nothing in this section limits our right to bring proceedings against you in any other court of competent jurisdiction, including the courts of the place where you reside or where a breach occurred, or to seek enforcement of an award or judgment in any jurisdiction where you have assets.

Severability and survival. If any provision of these terms is found unenforceable, it is severed and the remainder continues in force. This section survives termination of these terms and any expiry of your account.
