Terms of Service
By accessing, downloading, installing, or using the ComiCollector application and related services (the “Services”), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service (the “Terms”). If you do not agree, you must not use the Services.
1. Use of the Services
The Services are provided to help users catalogue, organize, value, and manage comic books and related collectibles.
ComiCollector may be used by collectors, dealers, retailers, auction participants, consignors, and other users in connection with the lawful purchase, sale, valuation, insurance, inventory management, and collection of comic books and related collectibles.
You agree to use the Services in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations. You are responsible for maintaining backups of your locally stored collection data.
2. Collection Information
Information relating to your comic book collection is stored primarily on your device. ComiCollector is designed to operate using a local-first approach and does not guarantee the recoverability of locally stored data once deleted.
3. Privacy Policy
Your use of the Services is also governed by the ComiCollector Privacy Policy, which describes how information is collected, used, protected, retained, and deleted.
ComiCollector operates on a minimal data model. Personal information is limited to device-based identifiers, optional contact information, such as an email address when submitting a support request, and limited operational metadata required for subscription validation and system functionality.
Images, collection databases, and core collection information remain stored locally on your device and are not centrally retained.
ComiCollector does not sell personal information and does not engage in cross-app or cross-site advertising tracking.
4. Data Retention and Deletion
ComiCollector is designed to minimize the collection and retention of personal information.
Collection information is stored locally on your device and may be deleted at any time using the functionality provided within the Services.
Limited server-side operational information, such as subscription status, quota usage, and anonymized identifiers, is retained only for as long as necessary to operate the Services and is deleted upon request or when no longer required.
Users may request deletion of any personal information retained by ComiCollector through the data deletion request form available at Comi-Collector.com.
ComiCollector does not maintain centralized repositories of personal collection data and cannot recover locally stored data once it has been deleted.
5. Valuations and ComiCollector Intelligence
ComiCollector Intelligence is automated and provided for informational purposes only.
ComiCollector Intelligence does not constitute financial, insurance, investment, appraisal, legal, or professional advice and should not be relied upon as the sole basis for purchasing, selling, insuring, or valuing collectibles.
6. Subscription and Billing
Access to the Services requires an active subscription. Your subscription grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access and use the Services for the duration of your active subscription.
Subscriptions may automatically renew unless cancelled in accordance with the policies of the platform through which the subscription was purchased.
Payments are non-refundable except where required by applicable law or the policies of the applicable app marketplace.
7. Ownership of ComiCollector Intelligence
ComiCollector Intelligence is created using ComiCollector's proprietary databases, historical market information, methodologies, analytical processes, and automated systems.
All ComiCollector Intelligence, together with the underlying methodologies, market intelligence, classifications, databases, analytical processes, and other proprietary information used to produce it, remains the sole and exclusive property of ComiCollector.
Your subscription grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access and use ComiCollector Intelligence in connection with your own lawful comic collecting, purchasing, valuation, inventory management, insurance, and sales activities. No ownership rights in ComiCollector Intelligence are transferred to you.
By requesting or accessing ComiCollector Intelligence through the Services, you acknowledge and agree that ComiCollector may retain, reproduce, cache, aggregate, analyze, validate, improve, and otherwise use ComiCollector Intelligence and the underlying analytical information for the purpose of operating, improving, validating, enhancing, and commercializing the Services and any future products or services offered by ComiCollector.

- reverse engineer, decompile, or otherwise attempt to discover the underlying analytical methodologies or proprietary processes used by the Services; or
- circumvent subscription controls or interfere with the normal operation of the Services.
Nothing in these Terms prohibits you from relying on ComiCollector Intelligence when making your own purchasing, collecting, inventory, valuation, insurance, or sales decisions.
9. Third-Party Intellectual Property
The Services may display comic book covers, trademarks, logos, publisher names, character names, and other intellectual property owned by third parties.
All such intellectual property remains the property of its respective owners. Nothing in these Terms grants you any ownership rights in third-party intellectual property.
10. Disclaimer of Warranties
THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY.
