Terms of Service

By creating an account or using BOB the collector (“the Service”), you agree to these Terms of Service. If you do not agree, you must not use the Service. Continued use constitutes ongoing acceptance.

The Service is offered as a monthly subscription at $9.00 USD per month, billed through Stripe. Fees are billed in advance and recur automatically until cancelled. Free trials may be offered at the Service’s discretion.

You may cancel at any time. Cancellation becomes effective at the end of the current billing cycle. No refunds are issued for partial periods, unused time, or unaccessed features.

You retain full ownership of all data and content you upload, including photos, descriptions, provenance records, and custom fields.

You grant the Service a limited license to store and process your content solely to operate the platform.

Administrators do not have direct access to your data. Access may occur only:

• through automated systems required to operate the Service, or
• if you explicitly request support that requires temporary access.

You are solely responsible for the accuracy, legality, and backup of your data.

You agree that:

• You are fully responsible for all activity under your account.
• You will not upload unlawful, infringing, harmful, or malicious content.
• You will maintain the security of your login credentials.
• You will independently verify any valuations, grades, or assessments generated by the Service.

The Service does not provide professional appraisal, legal, financial, or investment advice.

The Service is provided “AS IS” and “AS AVAILABLE” without any warranties, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, noninfringement, or accuracy of valuations.

All AI-generated outputs are informational only.

To the maximum extent permitted by law:

• The Service owner, employees, contractors, and affiliates shall not be liable for any damages of any kind, including loss of data, loss of profits, loss of goodwill, or any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages.
• You acknowledge that you are solely responsible for maintaining independent backups of your collection data. The Service may experience outages, corruption, cyberattacks, discontinuation, or other failures that could result in data loss.
• The total cumulative liability of the Service for any claim shall not exceed the amount you paid in the preceding three (3) months.
• You agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Service from any claims, damages, liabilities, or expenses arising from your use of the Service, your content, or your violation of these Terms.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to your use of the Service or these Terms shall be resolved exclusively through binding individual arbitration, not in court.

You waive your right to a judge or jury trial.

Arbitration shall be conducted by a recognized arbitration provider under its applicable rules.

Any arbitration or legal proceeding shall be conducted solely on an individual basis. You waive any right to participate in:

• class actions
• class arbitrations
• private attorney general actions
• consolidated or representative proceedings

If this waiver is found unenforceable, the entire arbitration clause is void.
