Terms of Service

By accessing or using PokeTrace's API services ("Services"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use our Services.

Subject to your compliance with these Terms, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access and use our API services within your plan limits. We may revoke API access at our sole discretion. The separate permission to retain and continue using previously obtained statistical data is governed by the conditions below.

You agree to:

• Use the API only for lawful purposes and in accordance with these Terms
• Not exceed the rate limits associated with your subscription plan
• Not attempt to circumvent any security measures, rate limits, or access controls
• Not resell datasets or operate a standalone data feed or competing data API, except with separate written authorization; the end-user uses described in this section are permitted
• Maintain the security of your API keys and credentials
• Not share, transfer, or expose your API keys to unauthorized parties
• Not use automated systems to abuse, overload, or interfere with our infrastructure

API Monitoring:

We actively monitor all API usage for abuse, suspicious patterns, and Terms violations. We reserve the right to immediately suspend or terminate access without prior notice if we detect any activity that we deem, in our sole discretion, to be abusive, fraudulent, or in violation of these Terms.

Free access is limited as described in section 2. Paid subscription fees are billed in advance on a monthly or annual basis.

• Prices are subject to change with 30 days' notice
• You are responsible for all applicable taxes
• Failure to pay may result in suspension or termination of your account
• You may cancel your subscription at any time

All payments are processed by Paddle.com as our Merchant of Record. You have the right to cancel your purchase and receive a full refund within 14 days of your purchase date, no questions asked.

To request a refund, please contact Paddle directly at paddle.net or email us at contact@poketrace.com and we will assist you.

Refunds will be processed using the same payment method used for the original purchase. For full details, please refer to Paddle's Terms and Conditions.

While we strive to provide accurate and up-to-date Pokemon card pricing data, we make no warranties or guarantees regarding the accuracy, completeness, or reliability of the data provided through our API.

THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND.

PokeTrace retains its rights in its own software, website design and branding. Third-party content and intellectual property remain subject to their respective owners' rights. The scope of permission to use PokeTrace's analytical pricing data is defined in section 2.

PokeTrace is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by Nintendo, The Pokémon Company, Creatures Inc. or GAME FREAK.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, POKETRACE SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS OR REVENUES, WHETHER INCURRED DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY.

You may not use our Services to:

• Violate any applicable laws or regulations
• Infringe upon the rights of others
• Distribute malware or harmful code
• Engage in any automated data collection beyond your plan's rate limits
• Attempt to gain unauthorized access to our systems or other users' accounts
• Resell, sublicense or distribute bulk datasets, or provide a standalone data feed or competing data API, without separate written authorization; this does not prohibit the statistical-data uses expressly permitted in section 2
• Scrape, crawl, or harvest data in a manner that degrades service for other users
• Use multiple accounts to circumvent rate limits or plan restrictions
• Reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract source code from our API
• Use the API in any way that could damage, disable, or impair our infrastructure
• Mask or misrepresent your identity or the origin of API requests

Any violation of these prohibited uses will result in immediate termination of your access without refund and may result in legal action.

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your API access at any time, with or without cause or notice, at our sole discretion. When API access ends, you must stop making API requests. The permission in section 2 to retain and continue using previously lawfully obtained statistical data survives the end of the subscription or API access, including revocation or termination by PokeTrace, except when PokeTrace terminates your access for breach of these Terms. The restrictions in section 2 continue to apply.

Immediate Termination for Abuse:

If we detect any API abuse, suspicious activity, rate limit violations, or breach of these Terms, we may immediately and permanently terminate your access without prior warning. In such cases:

• Your API keys will be immediately revoked
• We may retain logs and data related to the abuse for legal purposes
• We reserve the right to pursue legal action for damages caused
• You may be permanently banned from creating new accounts

Our determination of what constitutes "abuse" is made at our sole discretion and is final.

We may modify these Terms at any time. We will notify you of material changes by posting the updated Terms on our website. Your continued use of the Services after such changes constitutes acceptance of the new Terms.

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the jurisdiction in which PokeTrace operates, without regard to its conflict of law provisions.
