Last Updated: May 3, 2026

1. Acceptance of Terms

These Terms of Service ("Terms") are a legally binding agreement between you ("User", "you") and FindAlert ("we", "us", "our"), an independent online service operated by a single individual based in Japan.

By creating an account, accessing, or using FindAlert (the "Service"), you confirm that:

• You are at least 18 years old or have legal capacity to enter into binding contracts in your jurisdiction;
• You have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms;
• You agree to our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated by reference.

2. Description of Service

FindAlert is an automated tool that aggregates publicly available listing information from third-party online marketplaces (including but not limited to eBay, Reverb, Etsy, Discogs, and others) and delivers email notifications based on user-defined search criteria.

FindAlert is not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, or partnered with any third-party marketplace. All third-party trademarks, logos, and brand names are the property of their respective owners.

3. Eligibility and Account

• You must provide accurate, current, and complete information during registration.
• You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activities under your account.
• You must verify your email address before accessing protected features.
• One account per individual. Multiple accounts, disposable email accounts, or fraudulent registrations will be terminated without notice.
• We reserve the absolute right to refuse, suspend, or terminate any account at our sole discretion, with or without cause, with or without notice, and without any liability to you.

4. Acceptable Use

You agree not to, and not to permit any third party to:

• Use the Service in any manner that violates any applicable law, regulation, or third-party right;
• Reverse engineer, decompile, scrape, or attempt to extract source code or data from the Service;
• Bypass, disable, or interfere with security features, rate limits, or access controls;
• Use automated tools (bots, scripts, crawlers) without our express written permission;
• Resell, redistribute, sublicense, or commercially exploit any data, alerts, or content obtained from the Service;
• Impersonate any person or entity, or misrepresent your affiliation;
• Transmit malware, harmful code, or content that infringes intellectual property rights;
• Harass, abuse, threaten, or harm any other user or third party;
• Use the Service to facilitate any illegal transaction, including but not limited to trafficking in stolen, counterfeit, or prohibited goods.

Violation of this section results in immediate termination without refund and may result in legal action at our discretion.

5. Pricing, Billing, and Refunds

• FindAlert offers a Free plan and paid subscription plans (Pro, Premium, Business). Paid plans are billed monthly in U.S. dollars (USD).
• Subscriptions automatically renew at the end of each billing period unless cancelled prior to renewal. You authorize us to charge your payment method for each renewal.
• You may cancel at any time through your account settings. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period.
• ALL PAYMENTS ARE NON-REFUNDABLE. We do not provide refunds, credits, or pro-rated charges for partial billing periods, downgrades, unused features, account termination, or service interruptions.
• We may change prices, plan features, or billing terms at any time. Continued use after changes take effect constitutes acceptance.
• You are responsible for all applicable taxes, including VAT, sales tax, and similar charges in your jurisdiction.
• Failed or chargeback transactions may result in immediate account suspension and recovery of associated fees.

6. Notifications and Service Performance

FindAlert delivers notifications on a best-effort, "as available" basis. We do not guarantee, and you acknowledge that:

• Not every matching listing will be detected, identified, or delivered;
• Notifications may be delayed, missed, undelivered, or incorrect;
• Third-party marketplaces may change their APIs, terms, or behavior at any time, affecting our ability to operate;
• Email delivery depends on factors outside our control (your email provider, spam filters, network conditions);
• The Service may experience downtime, maintenance windows, or unplanned outages;
• Listing information shown may be outdated, inaccurate, or removed by the original source.

Notification frequency, monthly caps, and feature availability depend on your plan and may be modified at any time without notice.

7. Third-Party Marketplaces and Listings

FindAlert displays publicly available data from third-party marketplaces. When you click any listing, you leave FindAlert and any subsequent transaction, communication, or relationship is solely between you and the third party.

We make no representation or warranty whatsoever regarding:

• The accuracy, completeness, or currency of listing information;
• The condition, authenticity, legality, or quality of any item;
• The reliability, identity, or conduct of any seller or buyer;
• The availability of any listing at the time you click;
• The terms, policies, or practices of any third-party marketplace.

You assume all risk of using third-party marketplaces. We are not a party to any transaction and bear no responsibility for losses, fraud, disputes, or damages arising from such transactions.

8. Intellectual Property

The FindAlert name, logo, design, source code, original content, and all related intellectual property are owned by us. You receive a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the Service solely as permitted by these Terms.

You may not copy, modify, distribute, sell, or create derivative works without our prior written permission.

Listing data, photos, descriptions, and prices belong to their original sources. Display through our Service does not transfer any rights to you.

9. User Data and Privacy

Your use of the Service is governed by our Privacy Policy. By using FindAlert, you consent to our collection, use, and storage of personal data as described therein.

You retain ownership of search criteria and watch configurations you create. You grant us a worldwide, royalty-free license to process this data solely to operate the Service.

10. DISCLAIMERS

The Service is provided strictly on an "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE" basis, with all faults and without warranty of any kind.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, express, implied, statutory, or otherwise, including but not limited to:

• Implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, non-infringement, accuracy, completeness, or quiet enjoyment;
• Warranties arising from course of dealing, course of performance, or trade usage;
• Warranties that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, or virus-free;
• Warranties regarding the results obtainable from use of the Service, including but not limited to financial gain, profitable arbitrage opportunities, or successful purchases.

No advice or information, oral or written, obtained from us creates any warranty not expressly stated in these Terms.

11. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, in no event shall FindAlert, its operator, affiliates, or licensors be liable for any:

• Indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages;
• Loss of profits, revenue, business opportunity, goodwill, or anticipated savings;
• Loss of data, information, or use;
• Damages arising from missed opportunities, delayed notifications, or undetected listings;
• Damages from transactions with third parties (sellers, buyers, marketplaces);
• Damages from unauthorized access to or alteration of your account or data;
• Damages from service interruption, modification, or termination.

Our total cumulative liability for any and all claims arising out of or relating to the Service shall not exceed the lesser of: (a) the total amount you paid us in the six (6) months immediately preceding the claim, or (b) USD 50.00.

This limitation applies regardless of the legal theory (contract, tort, strict liability, or otherwise) and even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages. The Service is offered at a price that reflects this allocation of risk.

12. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless FindAlert, its operator, and affiliates from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or related to:

• Your access to or use of the Service;
• Your violation of these Terms;
• Your violation of any law or third-party right;
• Any content or information you submit to the Service;
• Any transaction or interaction between you and a third party arising from your use of the Service.

13. Termination

You may terminate your account at any time by deleting it through the Service. We may terminate or suspend your account immediately, without prior notice or liability, for any reason whatsoever, including without limitation if you breach these Terms.

Upon termination, your right to use the Service ceases immediately. Sections 4, 5, 7, 8, 10, 11, 12, 14, 15, 16, 17, and 18 shall survive any termination.

14. Modifications to the Service

We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue the Service (or any part or feature thereof) at any time, with or without notice, and without liability to you or any third party.

15. Modifications to These Terms

We may revise these Terms at any time by posting an updated version. Material changes will be communicated via email or in-Service notice. Continued use of the Service after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

You are responsible for reviewing these Terms periodically.

16. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Japan, without regard to its conflict of law principles. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply.

17. Dispute Resolution and Class Action Waiver

17.1 Informal Resolution. Before filing any claim, you agree to attempt to resolve the dispute informally by contacting us at support@findalert.app. We will attempt to resolve the dispute within 60 days of receipt.

17.2 Binding Arbitration. If the dispute is not resolved informally, any claim arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service shall be resolved through final and binding arbitration administered by the Japan Commercial Arbitration Association (JCAA) in Tokyo, Japan, in accordance with its rules then in effect. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

17.3 Class Action Waiver. You and we agree that any claim shall be brought solely in your individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, collective, or representative action. You expressly waive any right to participate in a class action, class arbitration, or representative proceeding.

17.4 Time Limit. Any claim must be brought within one (1) year after the cause of action accrues, or it is permanently barred.

18. General Provisions

• Entire Agreement. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Service.
• Severability. If any provision is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.
• No Waiver. Our failure to enforce any right or provision is not a waiver of such right or provision.
• Assignment. You may not assign or transfer these Terms without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms freely.
• Force Majeure. We are not liable for failure or delay caused by events beyond our reasonable control, including acts of God, government actions, internet outages, third-party service failures, or pandemics.
• No Agency. No agency, partnership, joint venture, or employment relationship is created by these Terms.
• Headings. Section headings are for convenience only and have no legal effect.
