These terms govern your access to and use of CardProof™ and the services available at cardproof.io.
CardProof™ provides a neutral technical system for generating, displaying, and verifying system-generated records associated with physical items that are presented to the CardProof™ system by users at a specific point in time. CardProof™ does not determine, certify, or guarantee legal ownership, title, authenticity, value, condition, grade, or provenance of any item.
A CardProof™ record reflects that: • A physical item was presented to the system by a user • The user asserted possession or control of the item at the time of capture • The item was captured and recorded using CardProof™ tools • A timestamped system record was generated A CardProof™ record does not represent or guarantee: • Legal ownership or title • Authenticity or originality • Grade, condition, completeness, or market value • Provenance prior to the record timestamp • Continued possession, custody, or control after record creation All records are informational only and reflect circumstances at the time of capture.
CardProof™ is not an authentication service, grading service, appraisal service, escrow provider, custodian, or marketplace. CardProof™ does not perform expert inspections or professional evaluations, including those typically conducted by third-party grading or authentication organizations. Any imagery, metadata, analysis, or identifiers displayed by CardProof™ are provided solely for informational and recordkeeping purposes and should not be relied upon as professional determinations.
If a Proof ID or verification link does not exist in the CardProof™ system, no record will be returned. CardProof™ does not generate placeholder records, inferred matches, probabilistic verifications, or partial results. The absence of a record does not, by itself, indicate fraud, authenticity, ownership status, or wrongdoing. It only indicates that no corresponding record exists in the CardProof™ database.
Users are solely responsible for: • The accuracy and completeness of submitted information • The physical items they present to the system • Maintaining custody or control of items after record creation • Sharing correct, complete, and unaltered verification links • Compliance with applicable laws, regulations, and marketplace rules CardProof™ does not monitor, facilitate, or enforce private transactions between parties.
Records may be transferred, restricted, revoked, or invalidated under certain circumstances, including but not limited to: • User-initiated transfers • Reported disputes or claims • Detected misuse, manipulation, or policy violations • Actions required to preserve system integrity Such actions may be taken in CardProof™'s reasonable discretion and in accordance with applicable law and platform policies.
Buyers, sellers, marketplaces, and other third parties access CardProof™ information at their own risk. CardProof™ makes no representations or warranties regarding how third parties interpret, rely upon, or use CardProof™ records. All transaction decisions and risk assessments remain solely between the parties involved.
CardProof™ is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. To the maximum extent permitted by law, CardProof™ disclaims all warranties, express or implied, including but not limited to warranties of: • Merchantability • Fitness for a particular purpose • Accuracy, completeness, or reliability of records • Non-infringement
To the fullest extent permitted by law, CardProof™ shall not be liable for: • Losses arising from reliance on CardProof™ records • Disputes between buyers and sellers • Market value fluctuations • Fraud, misrepresentation, or third-party conduct • Indirect, incidental, consequential, or special damages Except where prohibited by law, CardProof™'s total aggregate liability for any claim shall not exceed the lesser of: • The amount paid to CardProof™ for the applicable service, or • One hundred U.S. dollars (USD $100) This limitation does not apply to liability resulting from CardProof™'s willful misconduct or gross negligence where such exclusions are not permitted by law.
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless CardProof™, its officers, directors, employees, and affiliates from any claims, losses, damages, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or related to: • Your use of the platform • Items or information you submit • Your transactions or representations • Your violation of these terms or applicable law This indemnification does not apply to claims arising solely from CardProof™'s willful misconduct or gross negligence.
CardProof™ may retain records related to proof creation, verification attempts, transfers, and system activity for security, audit, compliance, and operational purposes, subject to applicable law and the CardProof™ Privacy Policy. Such records do not constitute legal documentation of ownership or title.
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.
CardProof™ may update these terms from time to time. Continued access to or use of the platform constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.
