Terms of Service

These terms are a contract between you and Nextform Holdings, which runs Rarity Ledger (“we,” “us,” or “our”).

If you visit the site, make an account, upload a photo, or pay for a plan, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, do not use the site.

We may update these terms. We will change the date at the top. If a change is big, we will try to tell you by email or a note on the site. If you keep using the site after a change, you accept the new terms.

Rarity Ledger is a search tool for collectibles. You can search by text or photo. You confirm the match. Then you can see old auction sales we have linked to that item in our list (our “catalog”).

We do not:

• Buy or sell collectibles.
• Grade your item.
• Give tax, legal, or investment advice.
• Promise that a piece will sell for a certain price.
• Act as a dealer, broker, or auctioneer.

Coverage starts with paper money and video games. Other categories may show up later. Missing data stays missing. We do not invent a price, a grade, or a population number we do not have.

This part matters. Please read it.

Rarity Ledger and Nextform Holdings are independent. We are not owned by, run by, or partners with the grading firms or auction houses whose names may appear on the site.

We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or an official partner of:

• Grading companies — including PSA, PCGS, NGC, PMG, CGC, Beckett / BGS, SGC, CAC, VGA, WATA, and other third-party graders.
• Auction houses and marketplaces — including Heritage Auctions, Stack’s Bowers, GreatCollections, Goldin, eBay, and other sale venues whose lots we join.
• Catalog publishers and price-guide brands — including any Friedberg, Pick, or similar numbering system we may show as a lookup aid.

Those names, logos, and grade labels belong to their owners. We show them only as facts about a sale or a graded holder when that information is in the record we linked. Seeing a name here does not mean that company backs us, checks our data, or works with us.

If a grader or auction house has its own terms, those terms apply to their services — not to us. Your use of their sites is between you and them.

Numbers on this site come from auction lots we have joined to a catalog id. A hammer price is what that lot sold for in that sale. Asking prices are not sales.

An estimate is a short summary of those past sales. Collectors call those sales “comps.” It is not an appraisal. It is not an offer. Condition, grade, timing, and the sale venue all change what a piece may bring next. A link can be wrong. Check the original auction page when the number matters.

Past sales do not promise future sales. Collectibles can lose value. You decide what to buy, sell, or hold. If you need advice, talk to a person who is licensed to give it.

We work to link lots with care. Records can have typos. Houses can change a listing.

You must be at least 18 to make an account or buy a plan. If you are under 18, you may only use the public search with a parent or guardian who agrees to these terms.

We do not aim this site at children under 13. See our Privacy Policy for more.

Some features need an account. You can sign up with email or Google. Tell us the truth. Keep your password private. You are responsible for what happens on your account.

Tell us right away if someone else uses your account. We may close or limit an account that looks unsafe, shared, or fake. Do not make extra accounts to dodge limits.

Text search is free. Photo ID has a monthly cap on Free. Hammer and Ledger unlock more auction history and more photo IDs. Current prices are on Pricing.

Paid plans bill through Square. By starting a plan, you let Square charge the card on file at each renewal until you cancel. Taxes may apply.

Plans renew on their own — monthly or yearly, based on what you picked. Cancel any time on your Account page. Cancel drops you to Free right away. Square should not charge the next period. You keep what you already paid for this period. We do not refund unused days unless the law says we must.

We do not refund unused time unless the law says we must, or we choose to. If we stop a paid plan for a reason that is not your fault, we may refund a fair share of the unused time.

If a payment fails, we may drop you to Free until it works again. We may change prices. We will post new prices on Pricing. A change applies at the next renewal, unless the law says we must do more.

If you upload a photo, you are asking us to try to identify it. We send the image to an AI company (Anthropic, often through Vercel’s AI Gateway) so it can read what is in the picture. We keep notes about the match (such as a title or catalog hint). We do not keep a photo album of your uploads. The AI company has its own rules about whether it learns from the image. Read theirs if that matters to you.

Only upload photos you have the right to use. Do not upload photos of other people, IDs, or private papers. Photo ID is capped each month. Do not try to beat the cap with tricks.

If you tell us a search result was right or wrong, we may use that note to improve matching.

We give you a limited, personal license to use Rarity Ledger for your own collecting. We can take that license back if you break these terms.

You may:

• Search, identify, and read pages for your own use.
• Keep reasonable notes or screenshots for a personal buying or selling decision.
• Link to a public page on our site in a fair way that does not pretend we endorse you.

You may not:

• Copy, scrape, or harvest our catalog, comps, population figures, or other data — by hand in bulk or with bots, spiders, or similar tools.
• Resell, share, or republish our data as a product, feed, or competing guide.
• Build a competing service by studying or copying our data, layout, or methods.
• Bypass paywalls, photo-ID caps, or account gates.
• Share a paid login. One person, one account, unless we say otherwise in writing.
• Break into the site, probe it for holes, or overload it.
• Upload malware, spam, or content that is illegal, hateful, or abusive.
• Pretend to be us, a grader, or an auction house.
• Use the site if the law in your place forbids it.

We may block access, cancel a plan without a refund, and tell the law if we believe you broke the rules or the law.

We own Rarity Ledger — the site, catalog structure, joins, text, design, and software — or we license it. You do not buy our data when you subscribe. You rent access while your plan is active.

Auction houses, graders, and other third parties own their names and much of the source listing content. We only show what we need to identify an item and report a sale.

If you send photos, feedback, or ideas, you keep your rights in them. You also let us use that material anywhere, for free, to run, fix, and improve the service. We do not pay for unsolicited ideas. If you do not want us to use an idea, do not send it.

The site may link to auction pages, graders, Google sign-in, Square checkout, and other tools. Those companies have their own terms and privacy rules. We do not control them. We are not responsible for what they do.

A logo or sale link is not an endorsement. If you buy, sell, or grade through someone else, that deal is only between you and them.

The catalog grows. Joins change. Features come and go. We may pause the site for repairs. We may cap a feature if it is abused or too costly to run.

We are not liable if the site is slow, wrong, or down. If you are unhappy, you can stop using it and cancel a paid plan.

You can stop any time. Cancel a paid plan on Account. You can also email us to ask us to close your account.

We can suspend or close an account if you break these terms, if we must follow the law, or if we shut the service down. If we shut the whole service, we will try to warn you first.

Rules that should last — like “who owns what,” estimates, no affiliation, limits on harm, and disputes — still apply after you leave.

We give you the site “as is.” That means we do not promise it is complete, correct, or always up. We do not promise a match is the right item. We do not promise a number is the market.

We already said the site is “as is.” That also means we do not extra-promise it will work for a job you have in mind, like pricing a collection for a loan. Some states do not let us drop those promises. If you live there, you may keep them.

Your main fix is to stop using the site and cancel. We do not pay for extra harm that follows a problem — like lost profits, a bad trade, a missed lot, or lost data — even if we were told it could happen.

If a court or arbitrator says we still owe you money, here is the cap. We will not pay more than what you paid us in the last 12 months. If you paid nothing, the cap is $50. “Liable” means “we owe you money for harm.” Some harms the law will not let us cap, such as harm we caused on purpose.

If you break these terms, break the law, or misuse the site, and that causes a claim against us, you will cover our reasonable costs (including lawyer fees) to the extent the law allows. This is sometimes called indemnity. It means you help pay if your actions get us sued.

Email us first at [email protected]. Tell us what went wrong and what you want. We will try to work it out for 30 days.

If email does not fix it, you and we each bring our own case. You cannot join a group case or a class action. You also cannot bring a case for other people (some states call that a “private attorney general” case). You may use small claims court if the case fits that court’s rules.

If small claims court does not fit, a neutral person — not a jury — decides. That is called arbitration. It follows the American Arbitration Association’s consumer rules. You can still win money for your own harm.

You can say no to arbitration. Email us within 30 days of first agreeing, with your name, account email, and the words “I opt out of arbitration.” If you opt out, courts in Floridawill hear the case, still one person at a time.

These terms follow the laws of the State of Floridaand U.S. federal law, except where a different law must apply. A U.S. law called the Federal Arbitration Act says arbitration deals like this one usually stick.

If you think something on the site uses your copyright without permission, email [email protected] with:

• Your contact info and a signature (typed is fine).
• What work you own, and where the copy sits on our site.
• A statement that you have a good-faith belief the use is not allowed.
• A statement that your notice is true, and that you are allowed to act for the owner.

That tracks the U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act. We may remove the material and, in repeat cases, close the account.

These terms are the whole agreement about the site. If one part cannot be enforced, the rest still stands. If we do not enforce a rule one time, we can still enforce it later. You may not assign these terms. We may assign them if we sell the business.

We are not liable for delays caused by things outside our control, such as outages, storms, or legal orders.
