Terms of Service

The service is provided by TCG Card Scanner, a private hobby project (“we”). You can reach us at support@tcgcardscanners.com.

TCG Card Scanner uses AI to identify Pokémon cards and sealed products such as booster boxes, Elite Trainer Boxes and tins from photos you take. The app can also assess authenticity, estimate condition (Pre-Grading), show market values and let you keep a collection and a watchlist. The service is under development, and features may be added, changed or removed.

• The AI analysis can be wrong. Identification, authenticity assessment and condition are automated estimates, not guarantees.
• An authenticity assessment doesn't confirm that a card is genuine or fake. Pre-Grading is an estimate from a photo and doesn't replace a grade from PSA, BGS, CGC or similar.
• Market values are indicative. They come from third parties such as TCGplayer and Cardmarket, can be delayed or wrong, and are converted to your currency at European Central Bank rates. The real price in a purchase or sale can differ greatly.
• Nothing in the service is financial or investment advice. Don't base buying, selling or investment decisions on the app alone.

• You must be at least 13. If you are under 18 you need a parent's or guardian's permission to buy anything.
• Use a real email address you have access to. An account is personal and may not be shared or transferred.
• Keep your password secret. You are responsible for what is done with your account.
• You can delete your account at any time in the app under Profile → Account settings → Delete account.

• Free tier: every account gets a number of free scans per month and mode. The numbers are shown in the app and may change.
• Monthly subscriptions: Standard and Premium give more scans per month. A subscription renews automatically every 30 days until you cancel it. Cancelling takes effect at the end of the period you have already paid for. Unused monthly scans don't carry over to the next period.
• Premium gives unlimited Quick Scans and authenticity checks for personal use, within the limits in section 7, and a fixed number of Pre-Grading scans per month.
• Scan packs (Scan Credits): one-time packs for a given mode never expire. They are used only once that month's scans in the same mode run out. The scans belong to your account, can't be transferred or exchanged for money, and end if the account is deleted.
• Referral bonus: for each friend who signs up with your code you get 10 free scans, for up to 10 friends. When you reach 10/10 you also get a one-time bonus of 5 authenticity checks and 1 Pre-Grading scan, given once per account. Referral scans have no cash value.
• Current prices, quotas and contents are shown in the app's shop before you buy.

• Purchases are processed and handled by the Apple App Store, Google Play or Stripe, depending on where you buy. Their terms apply to the payment itself, and a subscription bought there is cancelled there.
• Purchases are final. Refunds are handled by the store or payment provider you bought through, under their rules, except where the law gives you a right to a refund.
• Scans and subscriptions are delivered as soon as you buy. By buying, you agree to immediate delivery and accept that the right of withdrawal for digital content ends once delivery has started.
• This doesn't affect your mandatory rights as a consumer.
• During the beta, purchases are switched off in the app.

The service is for personal use by a human. You may not:

• use bots, scripts or other automated means to send scans or requests to the service;
• retrieve, copy or collect catalog, price or image data from the service in bulk (scraping);
• get around quotas, purchase rules or technical protections, or decompile or reverse engineer the app, except where the law expressly allows it;
• create several accounts or fake referrals to get more free scans or bonuses;
• resell or hand out access to the service or its results;
• overload or disrupt the service;
• upload photos that are illegal, offensive or show other people, or that you have no right to use.

With unusually heavy use, Premium included, we may slow requests down or use a lighter analysis to keep the service available to everyone. If you break these rules we may limit, suspend or close your account. When an account is closed for serious or repeated breaches, unused scans are not refunded, to the extent the law allows.

• The app, the website and their content belong to us or our licensors. You get a personal, non-exclusive right to use the app under these terms.
• Pokémon and related names are trademarks of Nintendo, Creatures Inc., GAME FREAK and The Pokémon Company. TCG Card Scanner is not made, reviewed or endorsed by them.
• Card and product images belong to their respective owners and are shown only to identify cards and products.
• The photos you take are yours. You allow us to process them to provide the service, as described in the privacy policy.

The service relies on data and services from third parties such as TCGplayer, Cardmarket, Pokémon TCG API, TCGdex and Anthropic. We are not responsible for their content, availability or terms.

• The service is provided “as is” and as available. We give no guarantee that it is error-free, always available, or that results and prices are correct.
• During the beta, data may be lost.
• We are not liable for indirect damage, lost profit, or losses caused by relying on an identification, authenticity assessment, condition estimate or market value.
• Our total liability is limited to what you have paid us in the last 12 months.
• These limits don't apply to intent or gross negligence, nor to the extent mandatory law, such as consumer law, doesn't allow them.

You can stop using the service and delete your account at any time. We may close the service or your account under section 7, or if we shut the service down. If we shut it down, we'll announce it well in advance and handle prepaid periods as the law requires.

We may change these terms, for example when the service changes or the law requires it. The date at the top shows the latest change. We announce significant changes in the app or on the website before they take effect. If you keep using the service after that, the new terms apply.

These terms are governed by Swedish law. As a consumer you keep the protection the law of your home country gives you. If you are unhappy, contact us first and we'll try to sort it out. Consumers in Sweden can also turn to the National Board for Consumer Disputes (ARN). Otherwise, disputes are settled by the Swedish courts.
