Mobile App Terms of Service

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of the PixelBroker mobile application and related services (collectively, "the Service"), operated by Josep Sensarrich("we", "us", "our"), an individual based in the Province of Barcelona, Spain.

By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Service.

1. The Service

PixelBroker is a consultation app for retro video game collectors. It allows users to:

• Search a catalog of retro video games and view market prices.
• Build and maintain a personal collection of games and a watchlist.
• Record sales of games from their collection and view sales history.
• View the daily evolution of their collection's estimated value over time.
• Configure price alerts ("Sniper") for specific games.
• Scan UPC barcodes with their device camera to look up games in the catalog and contribute missing UPCs to expand coverage (available to all registered users).
• Access market trend analytics including top movers, hidden gems, and hype indicators (PRO feature).
• Optionally subscribe to PRO to unlock advanced features and remove advertisements.

PixelBroker is provided for informational and reference purposes only. The App is not investment advice. Game prices are estimates based on data from third-party sources and may not reflect actual transaction prices. We make no guarantees about the accuracy, completeness, or timeliness of any data shown.

2. Eligibility

To use the Service, you must:

• Be at least 13 years old (or the higher age of digital consent in your jurisdiction).
• Have the legal capacity to enter into binding agreements.
• Not be prohibited from using the Service under applicable law.

If you are under 18, you confirm that you have the consent of a parent or legal guardian to use the Service.

3. Account Registration

To access most features, you must create an account by providing a valid email address and a password. You are responsible for:

• Providing accurate and up-to-date information.
• Maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials.
• All activities that occur under your account.

You must notify us immediately at support@pixelbroker.io if you suspect unauthorized use of your account.

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms or that are inactive for extended periods, with reasonable notice where practical.

4. Acceptable Use

You agree to use the Service only for lawful purposes. You will not:

• Use the Service to engage in any illegal activity.
• Attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Service, our servers, or other users' accounts.
• Use automated systems (bots, scrapers, crawlers) to access the Service without our prior written consent.
• Reverse-engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract the source code of the App, except as expressly permitted by applicable law.
• Upload or transmit malware, viruses, or any harmful code.
• Misrepresent your identity or impersonate any person or entity.
• Use the Service to harass, threaten, or harm other users.
• Resell, sublicense, or commercially exploit the Service or its data without our written consent.

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these rules.

5. Subscriptions and Payments (PixelBroker PRO)

Some features of the Service are available through a paid subscription called PixelBroker PRO. PRO unlocks:

• Advanced market analytics: top movers (largest price increases and decreases), hidden gems, and hype indicators across the catalog.
• Ad-free experience: no advertisements are displayed in the App.

Subscriptions are managed through:

• Google Play Billing for in-app purchases.
• RevenueCat for subscription management on our backend.

By subscribing, you agree to:

• Pay the subscription price displayed at the time of purchase.
• Automatic renewal at the end of each billing period unless you cancel before the renewal date.
• The terms of Google Play's billing policies.

You can cancel your subscription at any time through your Google Play account settings. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period; you will retain PRO access until then. We do not provide refunds for partial billing periods, except where required by law.

6. Advertising

The free version of the Service displays advertisements provided by Google AdMob. By using the free version, you accept that ads may be shown. To remove ads, subscribe to PixelBroker PRO. See our Privacy Policy for details on how advertising data is handled.

7. Intellectual Property

7.1 Our Rights

The Service, including its software, design, branding, text, graphics, and underlying technology, is owned by Josep Sensarrich or licensed to us. All rights are reserved. Nothing in these Terms grants you any rights to our trademarks, logos, or proprietary content beyond what is necessary to use the Service.

7.2 Third-Party Content

Game cover art, metadata, prices, and related information displayed in the App are sourced from third-party providers including PriceCharting and TheGamesDB. These materials remain the property of their respective owners. We display them under license or fair-use principles for informational purposes. Game titles, console names, and publisher names are trademarks of their respective owners.

7.3 Your Content

When you add games, notes, or preferences to your collection, you retain ownership of that data. You grant us a limited license to store, process, and display this data solely to provide the Service to you.

8. Third-Party Services

The Service integrates with third-party services including Firebase (Google), Google AdMob, RevenueCat, PriceCharting, TheGamesDB, Cloudflare, and Hetzner. Your use of the Service is also subject to the terms of these providers, where applicable. We are not responsible for the actions, content, or privacy practices of third parties.

9. Disclaimers

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT.

WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT:

• The Service will be uninterrupted, secure, or error-free.
• The information provided (prices, trends, availability) is accurate, complete, or current.
• Defects will be corrected.
• The Service is free from viruses or harmful components.

Game prices shown in the App are estimates based on third-party data and should not be used as the sole basis for purchase, sale, or investment decisions. You are solely responsible for verifying prices and conditions before any transaction.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties, so the above exclusions may not apply to you in full. Where mandatory consumer protection laws apply, you retain all statutory rights that cannot be waived.

10. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law:

• We shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including loss of profits, data, or goodwill, arising from your use of the Service.
• Our total cumulative liability for any claim arising out of or relating to the Service shall not exceed the total amount you have paid us in the 12 months preceding the event giving rise to the claim, or fifty euros (€50), whichever is greater.

This limitation applies regardless of the legal theory of liability (contract, tort, negligence, or otherwise) and even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

Nothing in these Terms limits liability for fraud, gross negligence, willful misconduct, or any other liability that cannot be excluded under applicable law (including the rights of consumers under Spanish and EU law).

11. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Josep Sensarrich from any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, or expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from:

• Your use of the Service in violation of these Terms.
• Your violation of any third party's rights.
• Your violation of any applicable law or regulation.

12. Termination

You may terminate your account at any time by deleting it from within the App (Settings → Account → Delete Account) or by emailing support@pixelbroker.io.

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service at any time, with or without notice, if:

• You violate these Terms.
• We are required to do so by law.
• We discontinue the Service.

Upon termination, your right to use the Service ceases immediately. Sections of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination (such as intellectual property, disclaimers, limitation of liability, and dispute resolution) will continue to apply.

13. Changes to the Service

We may modify, suspend, or discontinue the Service (or any feature of it) at any time, with or without notice. We are not liable to you or any third party for any modification, suspension, or discontinuation, except where prohibited by law.

We may add new features, change existing features, or remove features over time. Significant changes will be communicated through the App or by email when reasonably possible.

14. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we make material changes, we will:

• Update the "Last Updated" date at the top.
• Notify users through the App or by email when changes are significant.

Your continued use of the Service after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms. If you do not agree to the new Terms, you must stop using the Service and may delete your account.

15. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

These Terms are governed by the laws of Spain, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. Any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service shall be submitted to the competent courts of Barcelona, Spain.

If you are a consumer residing in the European Union, this clause does not deprive you of the protection afforded by mandatory provisions of the law of your country of residence, and you may also bring proceedings in the courts of your country.

EU residents may also access the European Commission's Online Dispute Resolution platform.

16. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect. The invalid provision will be replaced by a valid one that most closely matches the original intent.

17. Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any other notices we provide, constitute the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Service. They supersede any prior agreements or understandings.
