TCGValuer

Terms and conditions

Effective as of 17 September 2026

These terms and conditions apply to the TCGValuer app for mobile devices (the "Application") and the website tcgvaluer.com (the "Website"), together with any related services operated by Filin Apps (collectively, the "Services"). Filin Apps is hereby referred to as the "Service Provider".

By downloading or using the Application, or by using the Website, you agree to these Terms and Conditions. You should read them carefully before using the Services. If you do not agree, do not use the Services.

What the Services are and are not

The Services are reference and organisation tools for trading card collectors. They do not appraise cards, do not authenticate them, do not grade them and do not act as a broker, dealer or agent in any transaction. Nothing in the Services is financial, investment, legal or tax advice, and no card is presented as an investment.

Decisions about buying, selling, grading, insuring or valuing a card are yours. Card identification by the Application can be wrong, and calculator results are only as good as the numbers entered — check the card and the source before acting.

Market values, fees and other figures

The Website does not publish third-party card price data. Any market value shown in the Application is an estimate based on third-party market data at a point in time: it is not an appraisal, not an offer to buy and not a guarantee of what a card will sell for. Grading fees, marketplace fees and other figures on the Website are quoted from the publisher's own pages with the date they were read, and they can change without notice.

License to use the Application

Subject to your compliance with these Terms, the Service Provider grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to install and use the Application on a mobile device for personal or internal business purposes. You may not reproduce, distribute, modify, create derivative works from, reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the Application, except as and only to the extent that such activity is expressly permitted by applicable law.

Intellectual property

The Service Provider retains all intellectual property rights in the Application, including its code, design, trademarks, service marks, trade names, logos, and branding (the "IP"). Nothing in these Terms grants you any license or right to use the Service Provider's trademarks, logos, or branding for any purpose. You agree not to remove, alter, or obscure any copyright, trademark, or other proprietary notices displayed in or on the Application.

Unauthorized copying, modification of the Application, any part of the Application, or the Service Provider's trademarks is strictly prohibited. Any attempts to extract the source code of the Application, translate the Application into other languages, or create derivative versions are not permitted. All trademarks, copyrights, database rights, and other intellectual property rights related to the Application remain the property of the Service Provider.

The same applies to the Website: its text, calculators, design and software belong to the Service Provider, except for the third-party material described below. Quoting a section of the Website with a link back is welcome. Republishing pages wholesale, scraping the Services, or reusing their text, calculators or data in another product is not permitted without written permission.

Third-party trademarks and intellectual property

Pokémon, the Pokémon Trading Card Game and all related names, characters, card artwork, set symbols and rarity symbols are the property of Nintendo, Creatures Inc., GAME FREAK inc. and The Pokémon Company. PSA, Beckett, BGS, CGC, SGC, TCGplayer and every other company, product or service named in the Services are trademarks or property of their respective owners.

The Service Provider claims no ownership of, license to or other right in any of these trademarks, names, characters, artworks or symbols, and nothing in these Terms transfers any such right to you. They are used only descriptively — to identify the cards, games, companies and services being discussed — and only as far as that identification requires. The Services do not use third-party logos as branding, and the TCGValuer name is not derived from any third-party mark.

The Website does not reproduce card images. Facts taken from third-party sources, such as grading standards, fees and marketplace rules, are quoted briefly, attributed and linked to the original, and remain the property of their publishers.

No affiliation

TCGValuer is independent. The Services are not affiliated with, sponsored by, endorsed by or otherwise connected to Nintendo, Creatures Inc., GAME FREAK inc., The Pokémon Company, The Pokémon Company International, Wizards of the Coast, PSA, Beckett, CGC, SGC, TCGplayer, eBay or any other company named in the Services, and nothing in the Services should be read as suggesting otherwise.

Notices from rights holders

If you own rights in material referenced in the Services and believe it is used improperly, email [email protected] with the address of the page or the part of the Application concerned, a description of the material and the right you hold, your contact details, and a statement that you believe in good faith the use is not authorised. The Service Provider reviews every notice and removes or corrects material where the concern is valid.

Eligibility

By accessing and using this Application, you represent that you are legally permitted to use it in your jurisdiction. You must be at least 16 years of age (the age of digital consent in your jurisdiction) to use the Application. If you are below 16, a parent or legal guardian must review and accept these Terms on your behalf.

User-generated content and acceptable use

If this Application allows users to post, share, or upload content, you agree not to post content that:

The Service Provider reserves the right to:

Content submitted through the Application may be visible to other users or to the public, depending on how the Application functions.

If you believe content violates these Terms, infringes your rights, or is unlawful, you may report it to the Service Provider at [email protected]. The report should include enough information for the Service Provider to identify the content, evaluate the complaint, and contact you if follow-up is required.

Where the Application provides such features, you may also report content, block other users, or mute notifications directly through the Application's interface. The Service Provider will review in-app reports with the same standards described in these Terms.

The Service Provider may review reported content, request additional information where necessary, remove or restrict access to content, and take action against the responsible account where appropriate. Users affected by moderation decisions may contact the Service Provider at [email protected] to request further review. The Service Provider will respond to appeals within a reasonable period and provide the reasons for any upheld moderation decision, subject to applicable law.

By submitting User-Generated Content you grant the Service Provider a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to use, reproduce, distribute, prepare derivative works of, display and perform the content in connection with the Application and the Service Provider's business. This license does not grant the Service Provider the right to sell or sublicense your content to third parties independently of the Application. You represent and warrant that you own or control all rights in the content you post and that use of the content does not violate these Terms or applicable law.

Your content may include personal data. Processing of personal data related to User-Generated Content is governed by the Privacy Policy. Do not post personal data of others without their consent.

Changes to the Services, charges, purchases and subscriptions

The Service Provider is dedicated to ensuring that the Application is as beneficial and efficient as possible. As such, they reserve the right to modify the Application or charge for their services at any time and for any reason. The Service Provider assures you that any charges for the Application or its services will be clearly communicated to you.

Downloading the Application, and any purchases or subscriptions inside it, are also subject to the terms of the App Store or Google Play. Payments are processed by the store, and subscriptions are managed and cancelled in your store account settings.

Your data and device security

The Application stores and processes personal data that you have provided to the Service Provider in order to provide the Service. It is your responsibility to maintain the security of your mobile device and access to the Application. You are responsible for the information you add to the Application, such as your collection and notes.

The Service Provider strongly advises against jailbreaking or rooting your mobile device, which involves removing software restrictions and limitations imposed by the official operating system of your mobile device. Such actions could expose your mobile device to malware, viruses, malicious programs, compromise your mobile device's security features, and may result in the Application not functioning correctly or at all.

Third-party services

The Application uses third-party services that have their own terms:

The Services also link to grading companies, marketplaces, app stores and other third-party sites. Those sites are not controlled by the Service Provider, and their own terms and privacy policies apply once you arrive.

Internet connection, data charges and your device

Please be aware that the Service Provider does not assume responsibility for certain aspects. Some functions of the Application require an active internet connection, which can be Wi-Fi or provided by your mobile network provider. The Service Provider cannot be held responsible if the Application does not function at full capacity due to lack of access to Wi-Fi or if you have exhausted your data allowance.

If you are using the application outside of a Wi-Fi area, please be aware that your mobile network provider's agreement terms still apply. Consequently, you may incur charges from your mobile provider for data usage during the connection to the application, or other third-party charges. By using the application, you accept responsibility for any such charges, including roaming data charges if you use the application outside of your home territory (i.e., region or country) without disabling data roaming. If you are not the bill payer for the device on which you are using the application, they assume that you have obtained permission from the bill payer.

Similarly, the Service Provider cannot always assume responsibility for your usage of the application. For instance, it is your responsibility to ensure that your device remains charged. If your device runs out of battery and you are unable to access the Service, the Service Provider cannot be held responsible.

Nothing in these Terms shall limit any rights you have under applicable consumer protection laws that cannot be lawfully excluded.

No warranty

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Services are provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including warranties of accuracy, completeness, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Service Provider shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including but not limited to lost profits, data loss, or business interruption, even if advised of the possibility of such damages.

However, the Service Provider retains full liability for:

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the total liability of the Service Provider for any claim shall not exceed the amount paid by you to the Service Provider for the Application in the 12 months preceding the claim, or the minimum amount that must be paid under applicable law, whichever is greater. If the Application is provided free of charge, this means the Service Provider's liability is limited to the minimum amount permitted by applicable law.

The Service Provider accepts no liability for any loss, direct or indirect, that you experience as a result of relying entirely on third-party information provided through this Application, or for inaccuracies in content provided by third parties. This includes any decision to buy, sell, grade, insure or value a card made in reliance on the Services.

Indemnification

To the fullest extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Service Provider, its affiliates, officers, directors, employees and agents from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses and expenses, including reasonable legal fees, arising out of or directly related to your breach of these Terms or your intentional misuse of the Application, including User-Generated Content you submit in violation of these Terms.

This indemnification does not apply to claims arising from the Service Provider's own negligence, breach of these Terms, or violation of applicable law. In jurisdictions where consumer indemnification is restricted by law, this clause shall be limited to the maximum extent permitted.

Updates and termination

The Service Provider may wish to update the application at some point. The requirements for the operating system (and for any additional systems they decide to extend the availability of the application to) may change, and you will need to download the updates if you want to continue using the application. The Service Provider does not guarantee that it will always update the application so that it is relevant to you and/or compatible with the particular operating system version installed on your device. You should accept updates when offered; if you choose not to, the Service Provider may cease to support earlier versions and the Application may not function properly. The Service Provider may also wish to cease providing the application and may terminate its use at any time without providing termination notice to you. Unless they inform you otherwise, upon any termination, (a) the rights and licenses granted to you in these terms will end; (b) you must cease using the application, and (if necessary) delete it from your device.

The Service Provider may suspend your access to the Application or services if you materially breach these Terms. The Service Provider will provide you with written notice of the breach and, where the breach is capable of cure, you will have 14 days from receipt of notice to remedy the breach. If you fail to cure the breach within that period, the Service Provider may terminate your access.

The Service Provider may suspend or terminate your access immediately without notice if you violate applicable law, infringe intellectual property rights, or engage in activity that could cause harm to other users or the Service Provider.

Upon termination, your right to use the Application will end and you must delete all copies from your devices.

Governing law and jurisdiction

These Terms and Conditions are governed by the laws of the jurisdiction in which the Service Provider is established, excluding conflict of law rules, except to the extent mandatory consumer protection laws provide otherwise.

Any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms will be brought before the courts that have jurisdiction under applicable law. Nothing in this clause limits any rights you may have to bring a claim in a court that is competent under mandatory law.

DSA compliance (Digital Services Act)

If and to the extent the Services qualify as an intermediary service under the Digital Services Act (Regulation (EU) 2022/2065, "DSA"), the Service Provider will comply with the DSA obligations that apply to it. Depending on how the Services are classified and on the size of the Service Provider, those obligations may include the following.

Points of contact. The address [email protected] serves as the point of contact for EU authorities and for recipients of the service (Articles 11 and 12 of the DSA). Where the Service Provider is established outside the European Union and the DSA requires it, the Service Provider will designate a legal representative in the EU in accordance with Article 13 and make the representative's details available.

Notice and action. Where the Services host content provided by users, anyone may submit a notice of allegedly illegal content to the address above. Notices will be processed in a timely, diligent, non-arbitrary and objective manner, in accordance with Article 16 of the DSA.

Statement of reasons. Where the Service Provider restricts access to content, suspends or terminates an account, or otherwise limits the availability of the Services because of content a user provided, it will give the affected user a clear and specific statement of reasons as required by Article 17 of the DSA, including the redress options available.

Complaints and out-of-court dispute settlement. Where the Services qualify as an online platform, users affected by a moderation decision may use the review process described in these Terms and may refer the dispute to an out-of-court dispute settlement body certified under Article 21 of the DSA. Using such a body does not affect your right to seek a remedy in court.

Transparency reporting. Where the transparency reporting obligations of Articles 15 and 24 of the DSA apply to the Service Provider and no exemption applies, such as the exemption for micro and small enterprises, reports will be published or made available as the DSA requires.

These DSA provisions apply only to the extent that the Services qualify as an intermediary service under the DSA, and they do not replace or limit any rights or obligations under applicable consumer protection or data protection law.

Severability

If any provision of these Terms and Conditions is held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, such provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable, and the remaining provisions of these Terms shall remain in full force and effect.

Entire agreement

These Terms and Conditions, together with the Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and the Service Provider concerning your use of the Services, superseding any prior agreements or understandings.

Changes to these Terms and Conditions

The Service Provider may periodically update their Terms and Conditions. Therefore, you are advised to review this page regularly for any changes. The Service Provider will notify you of any changes by posting the new Terms and Conditions on this page.

Previous versions of these Terms and Conditions will be maintained and made available upon request by contacting the Service Provider at [email protected].

These terms and conditions are effective as of 2026-09-17.
