1. The agreement
These Terms of Use (“Terms”) are an agreement between you and Paul Jarrell (“ChaseBinder,” “we,” “us”), the developer of the ChaseBinder iPhone app (the “App”) and the website at chasebinder.app (together, the “Service”). By downloading, installing or using the Service, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you don’t agree, please don’t use the Service.
2. Who can use ChaseBinder
You must be at least 13 years old to use the Service. If you’re under 18, or under the age of majority where you live, you may use it only with the permission of a parent or guardian, who agrees to these Terms on your behalf and is responsible for your use, including any purchases.
3. Your license to the App
The App is licensed to you, not sold. Subject to these Terms, we grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the App on Apple-branded devices that you own or control, as permitted by the Usage Rules in Apple’s Media Services Terms and Conditions. If you got the App from Apple’s App Store, Apple’s Licensed Application End User License Agreement also applies; if it conflicts with these Terms, it controls only as to the license to the App itself.
4. Accounts
You don’t need an account to use ChaseBinder. Where we offer sign-in, you can sign in with Apple or Google. You’re responsible for activity under your account and for keeping your devices secure. You can delete your account at any time in the App (tap the Pro chip at the top of your Collection, then Delete account). Deleting your account doesn’t cancel a subscription — see section 5.
5. ChaseBinder Pro subscriptions
Free use
Without Pro, you can use every part of the App for all supported games, with 25 card scans per calendar month and up to 2 binders. A scan is any card sent to the scanner for identification — a camera shot or a photo from your library. Retrying a card and searching by name don’t count. Unused scans don’t roll over, and the allowance resets on the 1st of each month.
What Pro includes
ChaseBinder Pro is an auto-renewing subscription, offered monthly (US$4.99) or yearly (US$39.99), or the equivalent price in your country shown in the App Store before you buy. Pro currently includes unlimited card scans, unlimited binders, binder page scans, Select (adding many cards from a binder or set checklist at once), backup and sync of your collection, wishlist and binders, and the gold look and app icons. We may add Pro features over time; the App’s upgrade screen lists what Pro includes when you subscribe.
Billing and renewal
- Payment is charged to your Apple ID when you confirm the purchase.
- Your subscription renews automatically for the same period and price unless you turn off auto-renew at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your Apple ID is charged for renewal within the 24 hours before the current period ends.
- You can manage or cancel your subscription in your iPhone’s Settings › your name › Subscriptions. If you cancel, Pro continues until the end of the period you’ve paid for.
- If we ever offer a free trial, any unused portion of it ends when you buy a subscription.
- If the price of Pro changes, Apple will notify you in advance and, where required, ask for your consent before the new price applies.
Refunds
Purchases are processed by Apple, so we can’t issue refunds ourselves. You can request a refund from Apple at reportaproblem.apple.com; refunds are subject to Apple’s policies.
When Pro ends
If your subscription lapses or is canceled, the App returns to the free limits. Nothing you’ve saved is deleted, and you can always view and edit your cards. Binders you made while you had Pro stay and keep working, and an app icon you picked stays.
6. Card identification and prices
The scanner suggests which card you’re holding; you confirm before anything is saved. Identification is automated and can be wrong, so check the cards that matter to you.
Market prices come from third-party sources, depending on the game: Scrydex, and TCGplayer market prices (through Scryfall and Lorcast). Prices may be delayed, incomplete or wrong, and don’t account for your card’s exact condition. They’re provided for information only and are not an appraisal, an offer to buy or sell, or financial, investment, tax or insurance advice. Don’t rely on them alone when buying, selling, insuring or valuing cards.
7. Your content
The photos you take and the collection data you enter belong to you. They’re stored on your device, and your photos are never uploaded to us. If you use a feature that stores your content on our servers, such as backup and sync, you give us a limited permission to host, copy, process and display it only to provide that feature to you, and you can delete it by deleting your account. You’re responsible for having the right to any content you add.
8. Acceptable use
When using the Service, you agree not to:
- copy, modify, distribute, sell or lease the App, or reverse engineer it, except where the law allows this despite these Terms;
- get around scan limits, subscription checks or security features;
- scrape, overload or interfere with our servers, or use the App to misuse the third-party card databases it relies on;
- use the Service for anything unlawful, or in a way that infringes anyone else’s rights;
- resell or commercially exploit the Service.
9. Third-party services and trademarks
The Service relies on third-party services, including Apple, Google and the card databases listed in our Privacy Policy. Their services have their own terms, and we’re not responsible for them or for the accuracy of the data they provide.
ChaseBinder is an independent app. It isn’t affiliated with, endorsed or sponsored by The Pokémon Company, Nintendo, Creatures, GAME FREAK, Wizards of the Coast, Hasbro, Disney, Ravensburger, Bandai, Shueisha, Toei Animation, Sotsu, Sunrise, Riot Games, TCGplayer, or any card database we use. Pokémon, Magic: The Gathering, Disney Lorcana, One Piece Card Game, Gundam Card Game, Riftbound, League of Legends and related names, logos, card images and marks belong to their respective owners. They appear in the Service only to identify the cards and games it supports.
10. Our rights
The App, the website, and the ChaseBinder name, logo and design are owned by us and protected by intellectual property laws. These Terms don’t give you any rights to them beyond the license in section 3. If you send us feedback or ideas, we may use them without any obligation to you.
11. Changes to the Service
We’re always improving ChaseBinder, so features may change, and the Service may sometimes be unavailable. Third-party data sources can also change or stop providing data. We’ll try to give notice before we make a change that significantly reduces what Pro includes.
12. Ending these terms
You can stop using the Service at any time, and you can delete your account in the App. We may suspend or end your access to the Service if you seriously or repeatedly break these Terms, or if we’re required to by law. Sections 6 through 10 and 13 through 19 continue to apply after these Terms end.
13. 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 warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title and non-infringement, and any warranty that the Service will be uninterrupted or error-free, or that identifications or prices will be accurate.
Some places don’t allow these disclaimers, so some of them may not apply to you. Nothing in these Terms limits rights you have as a consumer that can’t be limited by contract.
14. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, we won’t be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, data or goodwill, arising from or related to the Service. Our total liability for any claim relating to the Service is limited to the greater of the amount you paid for the Service in the 12 months before the claim arose, or US$50.
These limits don’t apply where the law doesn’t allow them, such as for liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraud.
15. Governing law and disputes
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Missouri, USA, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. If you have a concern, please contact us first at [email protected] — most issues can be solved quickly that way. Any dispute that can’t be resolved informally will be decided exclusively by the state or federal courts located in Missouri, and you and we consent to their jurisdiction. If you live in the European Union, the United Kingdom or another place whose consumer laws give you the right to bring a claim in your local courts or under your local law, nothing in this section takes that away.
16. Apple App Store terms
If you downloaded the App from Apple’s App Store, you also agree that:
- These Terms are between you and us only, not Apple. We, not Apple, are solely responsible for the App and its content.
- Apple has no obligation to provide any maintenance or support for the App.
- If the App fails to meet any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price, if any, for the App. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation for the App, and any other claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs or expenses caused by a failure to meet a warranty are our responsibility, to the extent not disclaimed in these Terms.
- Apple is not responsible for addressing any claims by you or any third party relating to the App or your possession or use of it, including product liability claims, claims that the App fails to meet any legal or regulatory requirement, and claims under consumer protection, privacy or similar laws.
- If a third party claims that the App or your possession and use of it infringes their intellectual property rights, we, not Apple, are solely responsible for the investigation, defense, settlement and discharge of that claim.
- You represent that you are not located in a country subject to a US Government embargo or designated by the US Government as a “terrorist supporting” country, and that you are not on any US Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
- Questions, complaints or claims about the App should be sent to us at [email protected].
- Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms, and once you accept them, Apple has the right to enforce them against you as a third-party beneficiary.
17. Changes to these terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. We’ll post the new version on this page and update the effective date, and if a change is significant, we’ll let you know in the App or on this website before it takes effect. If you keep using the Service after a change takes effect, you accept the updated Terms.
18. General
These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy and, where it applies, Apple’s Licensed Application End User License Agreement, are the whole agreement between you and us about the Service. If any part of these Terms can’t be enforced, the rest stays in effect. If we don’t enforce a part of these Terms right away, we haven’t waived our right to do so later. You may not transfer your rights under these Terms; we may transfer ours to someone who takes over the Service, provided your rights under these Terms aren’t reduced.
