PathBinder Terms of Service
Last updated: June 23, 2026
These Terms of Service ("Terms") are a binding agreement between you and PathBinder LLC ("PathBinder," "we," "us," or "our") governing your use of the PathBinder website at pathbinder.gg and our mobile and web applications (the "Service").
By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to these Terms, our Privacy Policy, Marketplace & Seller Terms, Refund & Buyer Protection Policy, and Prohibited Items & Acceptable Use Policy, each incorporated by reference. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.
1. Eligibility and accounts
You must be at least 18 years old to buy or sell on the Service. Users 13 or older may create an account to browse and maintain a collection only with the consent and supervision of a parent or legal guardian, who agrees to be bound by these Terms on the minor's behalf. The Service is not available to anyone under 13.
You are responsible for the accuracy of your account information, for keeping your credentials secure, and for all activity under your account. Notify us promptly at support@pathbinder.gg of any unauthorized use.
2. The Service
PathBinder provides tools to catalog and value trading-card and related collectibles, a card/product scanner, price tracking and alerts, collection organization, a peer-to-peer marketplace, trading tools, and shipping integration. We may add, change, or discontinue features at any time.
3. Subscriptions and billing
PathBinder offers free and paid subscription tiers (e.g., Collector, Enthusiast, Vendor, Shop). Current tiers, prices, features, and limits are shown in the app and may change with notice.
- Billing. Paid subscriptions are billed in advance on a recurring basis (monthly or annual) through our payment processor or, where you purchase through a mobile app store, through that store's billing system. Subscriptions auto-renew until cancelled.
- Cancellation. You may cancel at any time; cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period, and you retain tier access until then. If you purchased through an app store, manage and cancel the subscription through that store.
- Changes. Upgrades may be prorated immediately; downgrades take effect at the next renewal.
- Refunds. Subscription fees are non-refundable except where required by law or expressly stated. Marketplace order refunds are governed by the Refund & Buyer Protection Policy.
4. Marketplace
Purchases and sales between users are governed by the Marketplace & Seller Terms and Refund & Buyer Protection Policy. PathBinder is a venue that connects buyers and sellers; except as expressly stated, PathBinder is not the buyer or seller of items listed by users and is not a party to those transactions.
5. User content
You retain ownership of content you submit (listings, photos, profile information, messages, ratings, and reviews — "User Content"). You grant PathBinder a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, store, reproduce, display, and distribute your User Content as needed to operate and promote the Service. You represent that you have the rights to your User Content and that it does not violate law or these Terms.
You must comply with the Prohibited Items & Acceptable Use Policy. We may remove content and suspend or terminate accounts that violate it.
6. Acceptable use
You agree not to: violate any law; infringe others' intellectual property or privacy; post false, misleading, infringing, or objectionable content; list prohibited items; circumvent fees or payment systems; scrape or overload the Service; introduce malware; or attempt to gain unauthorized access. We have zero tolerance for objectionable content and abusive behavior and may act on reports, including removing content, restricting features, and terminating accounts.
7. Intellectual property
The Service, including its software, design, logos, and content (excluding User Content and third-party card imagery/trademarks owned by their respective owners), is owned by PathBinder and protected by intellectual-property laws. We grant you a limited, revocable, non-transferable license to use the Service for its intended purpose. Card names, images, and game trademarks are the property of their respective owners; PathBinder is not affiliated with or endorsed by them.
8. Third-party services
The Service integrates third-party services (including Stripe for payments, Shippo for shipping, and others). Your use of those services may be subject to their own terms. We are not responsible for third-party services.
9. Disclaimers
THE SERVICE AND ALL CONTENT, INCLUDING MARKET PRICES AND VALUATIONS, ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. Price estimates and valuations are informational only and are not guarantees of value or appraisal advice. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, secure, or error-free.
10. Limitation of liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, PATHBINDER AND ITS OWNERS, EMPLOYEES, AND SUPPLIERS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST PROFITS, DATA, OR GOODWILL. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICE WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNTS YOU PAID PATHBINDER IN THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM, OR (B) USD $100. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so some of the above may not apply to you.
11. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless PathBinder from claims, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of your User Content, your transactions with other users, your use of the Service, or your violation of these Terms or applicable law.
12. Termination
You may stop using the Service and delete your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access for any violation of these Terms or for conduct that we reasonably believe harms the Service or other users. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (including ownership, disclaimers, liability limits, indemnification, and dispute resolution) survive.
13. Governing law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of North Carolina, USA, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules, except that the Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of the arbitration provision below.
14. Dispute resolution; binding arbitration; class-action waiver
Please read this section carefully — it affects your legal rights.
- Informal resolution first. Before filing a claim, you agree to contact us at support@pathbinder.gg and attempt to resolve the dispute informally for at least 30 days.
- Binding arbitration. Except as noted below, any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service will be resolved by final and binding arbitration administered by a recognized arbitration provider under its consumer rules, conducted in or near North Carolina, or by video/phone where available, rather than in court.
- Class-action waiver. Disputes will be resolved only on an individual basis. You and PathBinder waive any right to participate in a class, collective, or representative action.
- Exceptions. Either party may bring an individual claim in small-claims court, and either party may seek injunctive relief for intellectual-property infringement or unauthorized access.
- Opt-out. You may opt out of arbitration within 30 days of first accepting these Terms by emailing support@pathbinder.gg with your account email and a clear statement that you opt out.
15. Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. We will post the updated version with a new "Last updated" date and, for material changes, provide additional notice. Continued use after changes take effect constitutes acceptance.
16. App store terms
If you download PathBinder from the Apple App Store or Google Play, you also agree to that store's terms, and the applicable store is a third-party beneficiary of these Terms with the right to enforce them. Apple and Google are not responsible for the Service or for support, and any app-store-purchased subscriptions are managed through that store.
