Terms of Service

1. About Mintage

Mintage is a personal trading-card-game (TCG) collection tracker that lets you scan, organize, and follow the market value of physical cards you own across multiple TCG products, including but not limited to Pokémon TCG, One Piece Card Game, Magic: The Gathering, and Yu-Gi-Oh!. Mintage provides tools for personal record-keeping, price tracking, set-completion tracking, and AI-assisted narration of your collection.

2. Unofficial / Independent App

This includes, but is not limited to:

• The Pokémon Company International, Nintendo, Game Freak, and Creatures, Inc. (Pokémon TCG)
• Bandai Namco Entertainment, Toei Animation, and Eiichiro Oda (One Piece Card Game)
• Wizards of the Coast LLC and Hasbro, Inc. (Magic: The Gathering)
• Konami Group Corporation (Yu-Gi-Oh! Trading Card Game)
• All other TCG publishers, distributors, marketplaces, or rights holders

All trademarks, card names, character names, set names, artwork, logos, and other intellectual property associated with the above games belong to their respective owners. References to these games, sets, and cards within Mintage are made for the sole purpose of identification, cataloging, and market-price reference for cards that you physically own — a use we believe is consistent with nominative fair use under U.S. trademark law and analogous principles in other jurisdictions.

If you are a rights holder and have concerns about how your trademarks or content are referenced or displayed in Mintage, please contact us at support@mintagetcg.app and we will respond promptly.

3. Card Images and Pricing Data

Mintage may display low-resolution thumbnail images of trading cards for the sole purpose of identification and visual confirmation of cards in your personal collection. These images are sourced from publicly available datasets and TCG marketplace metadata.

Pricing and market data shown in Mintage are aggregated from third-party public marketplaces (including TCGplayer via the TCGCSV public dataset) and are provided for informational purposes only. We make no warranty as to the accuracy, completeness, or timeliness of pricing data, and real-world resale or purchase prices may differ. Mintage is not a marketplace and does not facilitate purchases or sales of trading cards.

4. Your Account

You sign in to Mintage via Sign in with Apple. We use the Apple-provided identifier to maintain your account and synchronize your collection across devices. You are responsible for maintaining the security of the device(s) you use to access your account.

You must be at least 13 years old to use Mintage. If you are between 13 and the age of majority in your jurisdiction, you must have the consent of a parent or legal guardian to use the app.

5. Your Content

Information you enter — cards in your portfolio, wishlist entries, conditions, acquired prices, notes — belongs to you. We store it on your behalf to deliver the service. You retain all rights to your collection data and may export or delete it at any time via the Profile screen.

6. Acceptable Use

You agree NOT to:

• Use Mintage for any unlawful purpose or in violation of any applicable laws or regulations.
• Scrape, mirror, or systematically extract Mintage's data, card metadata, or pricing data for redistribution.
• Reverse-engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract the source code of the app.
• Submit prompts to Brie (Mintage's AI assistant) that attempt to bypass safety guardrails or instruct her to perform off-topic, harmful, or deceptive tasks.
• Impersonate other users or misrepresent your affiliation with Mintage or any third party.
• Interfere with the operation of the app or its servers, including via automated requests, denial-of-service attempts, or vulnerability exploitation.
• Use Mintage to facilitate counterfeiting, money-laundering, or any commercial scheme involving fraudulent representation of card values.

7. AI Features (Brie)

Mintage includes "Brie", an AI assistant that summarizes your collection and answers questions about cards. Brie runs entirely on your device through Apple Intelligence Foundation Models. Your chat messages and the related collection metadata are processed locally on your iPhone and do not leave the device.

Brie's outputs are AI-generated and may be inaccurate, outdated, or incomplete. Brie's narrations are not financial advice. Do not make purchasing, selling, or investment decisions solely on the basis of Brie's output.

8. Subscriptions and Payments

Mintage may offer optional premium features in the future via in-app purchase. Pricing, terms, and refund policies for any paid features will be disclosed at the point of sale and are subject to Apple's App Store payment terms.

9. Disclaimers of Warranty

MINTAGE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ACCURACY, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT GUARANTEE THE ACCURACY OF CARD METADATA, MARKET PRICES, OR AI OUTPUTS. WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR LOSSES RESULTING FROM RELIANCE ON THE APP'S DATA.

10. Limitation of Liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL MINTAGE OR ITS DEVELOPERS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, OR GOODWILL, ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF — OR INABILITY TO USE — THE APP, 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 MINTAGE OR THESE TERMS, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STATUTE, OR OTHERWISE, IS LIMITED TO THE GREATER OF (A) THE TOTAL AMOUNT YOU PAID TO MINTAGE, IF ANY, IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM, OR (B) USD $25.00. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF CERTAIN DAMAGES, SO PORTIONS OF THIS LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

11. DMCA & Copyright Complaints

Mintage respects intellectual-property rights and responds to clear notices of alleged infringement that comply with the U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA, 17 U.S.C. § 512) and equivalent laws in other jurisdictions.

If you believe content displayed in or made available through Mintage infringes a copyright you own or control, send a written notice to support@mintagetcg.app with the subject line "DMCA Notice" containing all of the following:

We will review and respond to valid DMCA notices, remove or disable access to the allegedly infringing material where appropriate, and may terminate accounts of repeat infringers. Counter-notifications may be submitted to the same address with the subject line "DMCA Counter-Notice" and the elements required under 17 U.S.C. § 512(g).

14. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the jurisdiction in which Mintage's developer is based, without regard to its conflict-of-law provisions.
