HitLegend Terms of Service

Effective date: September 29, 2026. Operator: Unobstructed, LLC ("Unobstructed", "we", "us"). Contact: support@hitlegend.com.

Please read section 17. It says most disputes are decided by individual arbitration, not in court or as a class action, and explains how to opt out within 30 days.

1. What HitLegend is

HitLegend is a trading-card collection service: you photograph cards, we identify and file them, estimate their value from market data, organise them into binders and sets, and help you complete collections. It is available as a website and an iOS app (together, the "Service"). By creating an account or using the Service you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy (hitlegend.com/privacy).

2. Who may use it

You must be at least 13 years old (16 where local law requires) and able to form a binding contract, except for a kid profile: a parent or legal guardian may make a kid profile for their child under 13 (see the Privacy Policy, "Children"). The parent accepts these Terms for that profile, is responsible for its use, and decides what it may do on each shelf. You may not use the Service if the law forbids you to, or if we have previously terminated your account for breaching these Terms. If you use the Service for a business, you represent that you may bind that business. Accounts are personal; keep your credentials secure and tell us at once about unauthorised use. You are responsible for activity on your account.

3. Your content

You keep every right to the photos you upload and the records you create ("Your Content"). You grant Unobstructed a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to host, process, reproduce and display Your Content only to operate, secure and improve the Service for you — including sending card images to the service providers that identify and read cards for us — to show it to the people you choose to share it with (sections 10 and 11), and to comply with law. The licence ends when you delete Your Content, except for copies we must keep under section 12. We do not sell Your Content and we do not use it to train third-party models.

Photo training (optional). If you turn on photo training in Settings, you also grant Unobstructed a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to copy your card photos (not the whole page photo) into a training store and use them to develop and train HitLegend's own models for recognising card condition and finish, as described in the Privacy Policy (section 3a). You can turn it off at any time; we then delete those copies and stop using them for new training, but models already trained on them are not affected. This licence is separate from the one above. It is given by the shelf's owner and covers the card photos on their shelves, including ones added by kid profiles they created; a kid profile cannot give it. *Draft for counsel.*

You may export Your Content at any time (Settings → Download shelf export) and delete it by deleting cards or your account.

4. Content standards

Your Content, and anything you share through the Service, must be about collectibles and must not:

• infringe anyone's copyright, trade mark, privacy or publicity rights;
• be unlawful, hateful, harassing, sexual, violent or exploitative, or show or endanger a minor;
• include other people's personal information (for example a photo of a person, an address or a phone number);
• be false or misleading about a card's identity, grade or condition in a way meant to deceive someone else;
• carry malware or spam.

We may remove content or disable a showcase that breaks these standards or the law, with or without notice.

5. Values, estimates and market data

Card values, HitValue, HitTarget, "last sold", "listed now", trade verdicts and every derived figure are estimates for information only. They are built from third-party market data and sales records, carry a stated confidence and methodology, and can be wrong or out of date. They are not appraisals, offers, financial, tax or investment advice, or a guarantee of what a card will sell for. Listing prices shown from marketplaces are asking prices, shown as such, and are never blended into our estimates. You are responsible for your own buying, selling, trading and insurance decisions.

6. Identification

Identification is automated (computer vision, machine reading of the card, catalogue matching) and reviewed by you. It can misidentify a card, a printing, a condition or a grade. The Service shows you how each card was identified and gives you the tools to correct it; a card you have not checked should be treated as unconfirmed. We are not liable for losses caused by a misidentification you did not check.

7. Plans, payments and automatic renewal

Free and paid plans are described at hitlegend.com/pricing, including each plan's price, billing period and what it includes.

• Automatic renewal. A paid plan renews automatically at the end of each billing period, at the price then in effect, and is charged to your payment method until you cancel.
• Cancelling. On the web, cancel online at any time from Settings; it takes effect at the end of the current paid period and you keep access until then. If you subscribed through Apple's In-App Purchase, cancel in your Apple account settings; Apple's terms govern that billing, refunds and cancellation.
• Trials and reminders. If a plan starts with a free trial or introductory price, we show the date and amount of the first full charge before you subscribe, and we send the reminders the law requires before a trial converts or an annual plan renews.
• Price changes. We give at least 30 days' notice of a price change; it applies from your next renewal, and you may cancel before then.
• Refunds. Except where the law or Apple requires otherwise, payments are non-refundable and partial periods are not credited.
• Taxes. Prices include applicable taxes only where stated.

Quotas (for example photo scans per month) are part of the plan you chose and reset each billing period.

8. Fair use

The Service is shared by every collector on it. To keep it fast and fair, we may set or enforce reasonable limits on use, such as scans, uploads, exports, API calls or storage, and may slow down or pause use that is far outside normal collecting activity or that harms the Service for others. We will tell you if a limit affects your account and, where we can, how to stay within it.

9. Acceptable use

Do not: break, probe or overload the Service; get around a quota, limit or security measure; scrape, crawl or bulk-export data that is not yours, including the catalogue and price data; resell, sublicense or commercially exploit the Service or its data; reverse-engineer it except where the law allows; create accounts by automated means or to evade a ban; sell or transfer your account; use it to infringe others' rights; upload malware; impersonate anyone; stalk or harass anyone; or use automated agents against the Service except through interfaces we publish for that purpose.

10. Shelves and members

You may invite others to a shelf. Members see that shelf's cards according to their role. You are responsible for whom you invite; the shelf owner may remove members at any time. Cards a member adds belong to the shelf's owner.

11. Showcases, trades and trade circles

Showcases. A showcase is a public page: anyone who has its link can see it without signing in, including the shelf and binder name, the cards, your photos of their fronts and, if you turn them on, their values. We ask search engines not to index showcases, but we cannot stop someone who has the link from sharing it or saving what they see. You can turn a showcase off at any time, and the link then stops working.

Trades and trade circles. The Trade Analyzer compares values; it is an estimate (section 5), not advice. Members of a trade circle you join can see the cards you mark for trade and the cards you need. Any trade, sale or meeting between collectors is between you and them. Unobstructed is not a party to it, does not hold cards or money, does not check the other person, and is not responsible for what happens. Use care, especially when meeting in person or shipping cards. Kid profiles cannot use showcases, trades or trade circles.

12. Suspension, termination and deletion

You may delete your account at any time in Settings (web) or Profile (app).

We may remove content, or suspend or terminate an account, that breaches these Terms, creates risk for others or the Service, or where the law requires. We give notice where reasonable, unless notice would create risk or break the law.

Deletion timing. When you delete your account:

• we take your shelves, cards, photos and records out of the Service straight away;
• we remove them from our live systems within 30 days;
• copies in our backups age out within a further 30 days.

When we keep data. We keep data longer only where:

• the law requires it (for example invoices and tax records);
• it is needed to investigate fraud, abuse, a security incident or a legal claim;
• we receive a lawful request to preserve it.

In those cases we keep only what is needed, only for as long as it is needed.

Sections 3 (the licence, to the extent needed to complete deletion), 5, 6, 11 (the paragraph on trades), 13 and 15–19 survive termination.

13. Intellectual property and independence

The Service, its software, design, catalogue structure and trade marks (including HitLegend, HitScan, HitMap, HitList, HitValue and HitTarget) belong to Unobstructed or its licensors. We grant you a personal, revocable, non-transferable licence to use the Service under these Terms.

HitLegend is independent. It is not affiliated with, sponsored by or endorsed by any card publisher, sports league, players' association, athlete, grading company or marketplace. That includes The Pokémon Company, Nintendo, Wizards of the Coast, Konami, Bandai, Topps, Panini, Upper Deck, PSA, Beckett and CGC. Card names, artwork, set information, player names and trade marks belong to their owners. We use them only to identify and describe the cards you own.

If you send us ideas or feedback, we may use them without obligation to you.

14. Copyright complaints

If you believe content on the Service infringes your copyright, send a notice to our designated agent at copyright@hitlegend.com. The notice must include:

1. your physical or electronic signature;
2. identification of the copyrighted work;
3. the content you want removed and where it is on the Service (for example the showcase link);
4. your contact details;
5. a statement that you believe in good faith the use is not authorised by the owner, its agent or the law;
6. a statement, under penalty of perjury, that the notice is accurate and that you are the owner or authorised to act for the owner.

Counter-notices. If your content was removed and you believe that was a mistake, you may send a counter-notice to the same address. It must include:

• your signature;
• identification of the removed content and where it was;
• a statement under penalty of perjury that it was removed by mistake or misidentification;
• your name, address and telephone number;
• your consent to the jurisdiction of the federal court for your address (or, outside the U.S., any judicial district where we may be found);
• your agreement to accept service from the person who sent the notice.

We terminate, in appropriate circumstances, the accounts of repeat infringers.

15. 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 merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy or completeness of identification, valuation or catalogue data, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, secure or error-free, or that data will never be lost; keep your own export of anything you cannot afford to lose.

16. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Unobstructed and its officers, employees and suppliers are not liable for any of the following arising from the Service or from dealings between users:

• indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages;
• loss of profits, data or goodwill;
• the value of any card.

Our total liability for any claim is limited to the greater of the amount you paid us in the twelve months before the claim or US$100. Some jurisdictions do not allow these limits; they apply only to the extent permitted.

17. Disputes: informal resolution, arbitration and class-action waiver

Talk to us first. Before starting any claim, email support@hitlegend.com with your name, your account email, a description of the dispute and what you want. Both sides will try in good faith to resolve it within 60 days.

Arbitration. If the dispute is not resolved in that time, you and Unobstructed agree that any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service will be resolved by binding individual arbitration:

• administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules;
• before one arbitrator;
• by video or phone, or in person in the county where you live if you prefer.

For claims under US$10,000 we pay the AAA filing, administration and arbitrator fees beyond the amount you would pay to file in court, unless the arbitrator finds your claim frivolous.

Class-action waiver. You and Unobstructed may bring claims only individually, not as a plaintiff or class member in any class, consolidated or representative action, and the arbitrator may not combine claims or award relief to anyone other than the individual party.

Mass filings. If 25 or more similar demands are filed by or with the help of the same law firm or group, they will be administered in batches of up to 50 under the AAA's Mass Arbitration Supplementary Rules, and the parties will cooperate in good faith to resolve them efficiently.

Exceptions. Either side may bring an individual claim in small-claims court. Either side may also go to court for an injunction to stop infringement or misuse of intellectual property. If the class-action waiver is found unenforceable for a claim, that claim goes to court, not arbitration.

Your right to opt out. You may opt out of this section by emailing support@hitlegend.com within 30 days of first accepting these Terms. Include your name, your account email and a statement that you opt out of arbitration. Opting out does not affect the rest of these Terms.

Where claims are heard. Claims not subject to arbitration are brought only in the state or federal courts located in Minnesota, and both sides consent to their jurisdiction. Any claim must be brought within one year of when it arose, where the law allows that limit.

18. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Minnesota, USA, and the Federal Arbitration Act, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Nothing here limits consumer rights that cannot be waived under the law where you live.

19. General

These Terms and the Privacy Policy are the whole agreement between you and us about the Service. If a part is unenforceable, the rest still applies. Our not enforcing a term is not a waiver. You may not transfer these Terms; we may transfer them to a successor to the Service. We are not responsible for delays caused by events outside our reasonable control.

20. Changes

We may update these Terms. Material changes are announced in the Service or by email at least 14 days before they take effect; continued use after that date is acceptance. A change to section 17 does not apply to a dispute we were already told about. The current version is always at hitlegend.com/terms.

21. Apple-specific terms (iOS app)

These Terms are between you and Unobstructed, not Apple. Apple has no obligation to furnish maintenance or support, is not responsible for product claims, IP claims or legal compliance, and is a third-party beneficiary entitled to enforce these Terms against you. You confirm you are not in a U.S.-embargoed country or on a prohibited-party list.
