1. Acceptance of Terms

By downloading, installing, or using EZ Thrift ("the App"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the App. These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you and EZ Thrift ("we," "us," or "our").

2. Description of Service

EZ Thrift is a thrift store companion application available for iOS that helps users find thrift stores, consignment shops, and secondhand retailers in their area. The App provides store details including addresses, hours of operation, and website URLs. Users may also contribute new store listings and use an AI-powered feature to photograph items and receive estimated market valuations. The App is designed for personal, non-commercial use.

3. Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years of age to use the App. If you are under 18, you represent that your parent or legal guardian has reviewed and agreed to these Terms on your behalf. By using the App, you represent and warrant that you meet these eligibility requirements.

4. User Accounts and Data

The App may use your Apple ID and iCloud account to sync your data across your devices. You are responsible for maintaining the security of your Apple ID and any activity that occurs under your account. We do not create or manage separate user accounts for the App.

5. User Content

You retain ownership of all content you create within the App, including store submissions, photos, find history, and any other personal data you enter ("User Content"). By using the App, you grant us a limited license to store and process your User Content solely for the purpose of providing and improving the App's services.

Community Store Listings: When you submit a new store listing to the App's directory, you grant us a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide license to display, distribute, and make that store information available to other users of the App. Store listings may include the store name, address, hours of operation, website URL, and category. You represent that any store information you submit is accurate to the best of your knowledge.

You are solely responsible for your User Content. You agree not to submit any content that is false, misleading, unlawful, infringing, or otherwise objectionable.

6. AI Valuation Feature

The App includes an AI-powered feature that analyzes photographs of items to provide estimated market valuations. You acknowledge and agree that:

  • Estimates Only: All valuations provided by the AI are estimates based on available data and image analysis. They are not appraisals, guarantees of value, or professional assessments.
  • No Financial Advice: AI valuations do not constitute financial, investment, or purchasing advice. You are solely responsible for any buying or selling decisions you make.
  • Accuracy Limitations: Valuations may be inaccurate due to factors including but not limited to item condition, rarity, regional market variations, photo quality, and limitations of AI technology.
  • Photo Processing: Photos you submit for valuation may be processed by third-party AI services. Please refer to our Privacy Policy for details on how your photos are handled.
  • No Liability: We are not liable for any financial loss, missed opportunity, or other damages resulting from reliance on AI-generated valuations.

7. Subscriptions and Purchases

The App may offer a free tier with basic functionality and optional premium features available through in-app purchases or subscriptions ("Premium Features"). All purchases are processed through the Apple App Store and are subject to Apple's terms and conditions.

  • Subscription payments are charged to your Apple ID account upon confirmation of purchase.
  • Subscriptions automatically renew unless auto-renewal is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current billing period.
  • Your account will be charged for renewal within 24 hours prior to the end of the current period at the rate of the selected plan.
  • You can manage and cancel your subscriptions by going to your Account Settings on the App Store after purchase.
  • Any unused portion of a free trial period, if offered, will be forfeited when you purchase a subscription.

Refunds are handled by Apple in accordance with their refund policies. We do not process refunds directly.

8. Acceptable Use

You agree to use the App only for its intended purpose and in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations. You agree not to:
