PackBuddy

Terms of Service

Effective date: June 3, 2026 · Last updated: June 3, 2026

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the PackBuddy iPhone app and the packbuddy.io website (collectively, the "Service"). The Service is operated by an independent developer based in the United States ("PackBuddy", "we", "us", or "our").

By installing or using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not install or use the Service.

1. The Service

PackBuddy is a hobbyist tool for tracking your Pokémon Trading Card Game ("TCG") collection. It identifies cards from your iPhone's camera, records the cards you've pulled, displays estimated market values, and lets you export pack-opening videos.

PackBuddy is not a marketplace, brokerage, appraisal service, custodian, or financial advisor. We do not buy or sell cards, and we are not party to any transactions you may engage in with third parties.

2. Eligibility and accounts

You must be at least 13 years old to create a PackBuddy account. Children under 13 may use the Service only with verifiable parental consent and under direct adult supervision. See our Privacy Policy for our policy regarding children's data.

You are responsible for safeguarding your account password and for any activity that occurs under your account. You agree to notify us immediately at support@packbuddy.io if you suspect any unauthorized access.

You may register only one account per person. You may not create an account using another person's identity.

3. Subscriptions and billing

3.1 Free trial and Hobbyist subscription

PackBuddy offers an introductory free trial. After the trial, full access to PackBuddy ("Hobbyist") is available for a subscription fee. Subscription pricing is displayed inside the App at the time of purchase. As of the date of these Terms, Hobbyist pricing is:

Prices may change. You will be notified of any price change before it takes effect on your subscription.

3.2 Auto-renewal

Subscriptions purchased through Apple's In-App Purchase system automatically renew unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your iTunes Account will be charged for renewal within 24 hours prior to the end of the current period.

3.3 Cancellation

You can cancel your subscription at any time through your Apple ID's Subscriptions settings on your iPhone (Settings → [your name] → Subscriptions). Cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing period; you retain access to Hobbyist features until then.

Deleting the App from your device does not cancel your subscription. You must cancel through the Apple Subscriptions interface.

3.4 Refunds

All purchases through the Apple App Store are subject to Apple's refund policy. PackBuddy does not directly issue refunds; you must submit refund requests to Apple via reportaproblem.apple.com.

4. Price information

PackBuddy displays estimated market values for cards in your collection, sourced from third-party data providers (currently pokemontcg.io and Scrydex). These prices are estimates only and are not appraisals or guarantees of value. Actual sale prices vary based on condition, demand, regional differences, grading, and many other factors.

You should not rely on PackBuddy's displayed prices as the sole basis for any purchase, sale, trade, or insurance decision. PackBuddy makes no representation that any displayed price is current, accurate, or achievable on any specific marketplace.

PackBuddy does not provide financial, investment, tax, or legal advice. Use of the Service does not establish any fiduciary, professional, or advisory relationship between you and PackBuddy.

5. Your content

Your collection data — the cards you have scanned, your portfolio totals, and your pack-opening videos — belongs to you. We do not claim ownership over your collection data.

You grant us a limited license to host, process, and display your collection data inside the App, and to back it up to our service providers, solely for the purpose of operating the Service for you. This license terminates when you delete your account.

We will never sell, license, or use your collection data for any purpose other than operating the Service for you.

6. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these terms, with or without notice.

7. Intellectual property

PackBuddy, the PackBuddy logo, and all original software, design, text, and visuals comprising the Service are owned by us and protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws.

"Pokémon", "Pokémon TCG", the Pokémon character names, the Pokémon logo, set names, and the trade dress of Pokémon TCG cards are trademarks and copyrights of Nintendo, The Pokémon Company, Game Freak, Creatures Inc., and their licensees. PackBuddy is an independent third-party application and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, or specifically approved by any of these entities.

Card images displayed in the App are sourced from publicly available databases (pokemontcg.io) and used under fair-use principles for the purpose of identifying cards already owned by the user. We do not redistribute or sell these images.

8. Third-party services

The Service integrates with third-party providers including Apple, Supabase, RevenueCat, Cloudflare, Sentry, Render, Resend, pokemontcg.io, and Scrydex. Your use of those services through PackBuddy is also subject to those providers' own terms of service and privacy policies. We are not responsible for third-party services.

9. Disclaimers

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NONINFRINGEMENT, OR ACCURACY OF DATA.

WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR- FREE, OR FREE OF VIRUSES OR OTHER HARMFUL COMPONENTS. WE DO NOT WARRANT THE ACCURACY, CURRENCY, OR COMPLETENESS OF ANY CARD PRICE DATA OR CARD IDENTIFICATION RESULT.

10. Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL PACKBUDDY OR ITS OPERATORS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOST PROFITS, LOST DATA, LOSS OF GOODWILL, OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE, WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

OUR TOTAL CUMULATIVE LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICE SHALL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU HAVE PAID US FOR THE SERVICE DURING THE TWELVE MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM, OR (B) US$25.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages, so the above limitations may not apply to you.

11. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless PackBuddy and its operators from any claim, damage, or expense (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from your misuse of the Service, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any law or third- party right.

12. Termination

You may stop using the Service at any time by deleting your account from within the App. We may terminate or suspend your account if you violate these Terms or if continued provision of the Service to you becomes impractical.

Upon termination, your right to use the Service immediately ends. Sections of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination (including Sections 4, 7, 9, 10, 11, and 13) will survive.

13. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the United States and the State of Delaware, without regard to its conflict-of-law principles. You and PackBuddy agree that any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service shall be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Delaware, USA, and you consent to personal jurisdiction in those courts.

If you are a consumer resident in the European Economic Area or another jurisdiction whose laws grant you the right to bring claims in your local courts under mandatory consumer-protection law, nothing in this section limits that right.

14. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. We will post the updated version at this URL with a new "Last updated" date. Material changes will also be announced inside the App. If you continue to use the Service after the effective date of the updated Terms, you accept the updated Terms.

15. Apple-specific terms

You acknowledge that these Terms are between you and PackBuddy only, and not with Apple Inc. ("Apple"). Apple is not responsible for the App or its content. Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support for the App. In the event of any failure of the App to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price of the App to you (if applicable); to the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation with respect to the App. Apple is a third-party beneficiary of these Terms and may enforce them against you.
