  • By accessing or using the Service, creating an account, or submitting a show, shop, or claim, you agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.
  • We may update these Terms from time to time as described in Section 15 below.

2. Eligibility

  • You must be at least 13 years old to create an account or use the Service. If you are between 13 and 18 years old, you represent that you have your parent or guardian's permission to use the Service.
  • You must provide accurate, current, and complete information when creating an account or submitting a listing, and keep that information up to date.
  • You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account.

3. Description of Service

  • Card Shows Nearby is a directory and discovery platform for card show, trade night, and card shop listings across the United States. Browsing listings, creating a profile, saving shows, and submitting listings are currently offered free of charge.
  • We do not process payments, sell tickets, or act as a party to any transaction between you and an event organizer, vendor, or shop. Any admission fees, table fees, or purchases you make in connection with a listed show or shop are solely between you and that organizer or shop.
  • We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Service at any time, with or without notice.

4. Show and Shop Submissions

  • All show and shop submissions are reviewed before publication. We may edit, deny, or remove a listing at our sole discretion, including for inaccurate, misleading, incomplete, or inappropriate content.
  • By submitting a show or shop listing, you represent that you have the right to list it, or are authorized to submit it on behalf of the organizer or shop, and that the information you provide is accurate to the best of your knowledge.
  • Show details (dates, times, locations, pricing) are provided by organizers and are subject to change. We are not responsible for the accuracy of organizer-submitted information, and you should confirm event details directly with the organizer before attending.

5. Organizer and Shop Claims

  • Claiming an organizer or shop profile is a representation that you are the legitimate operator of, or are authorized to manage, that organizer's shows or that shop's listing.
  • We may request reasonable verification before approving a claim, and may deny or revoke a claim at our discretion, including if we later determine the claim was inaccurate, unauthorized, or made in bad faith.
  • Approving a claim links all shows or shops publicly associated with that organizer or shop name to your account. You are responsible for the accuracy of listings under your claimed profile.

6. Acceptable Use

  • You agree not to: post false, misleading, defamatory, abusive, harassing, discriminatory, or obscene content; impersonate another person or organization; share another person's private contact information without their consent; use the Service to spam, scrape, or harvest data; interfere with or disrupt the Service, its servers, or other users' access to it; or attempt to circumvent any content moderation, security, or access-control feature.
  • We reserve the right to remove content, suspend, or terminate accounts that violate these Terms, at our sole discretion and without prior notice.

7. User Content and License

  • "User Content" means any information, text, images, or other material you submit to the Service, including profile information, show and shop listings, photos, and messages.
  • You retain ownership of your User Content. By submitting User Content, you grant Card Shows Nearby a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable license to host, store, reproduce, display, and distribute that content as necessary to operate and promote the Service (for example, displaying a submitted show listing publicly, or a profile photo on your public profile).
  • You represent that you own or have the necessary rights to the User Content you submit, and that it does not infringe any third party's intellectual property or other rights.

8. Third-Party Sign-In

  • You may sign in using a third-party account (such as Google). Your use of that third-party service is governed by that provider's own terms and privacy policy, and we are not responsible for the practices of third-party sign-in providers.

9. Intellectual Property

  • The Service, including its design, text, graphics, logos, and underlying software (excluding User Content), is owned by Card Shows Nearby or its licensors and is protected by intellectual property laws. You may not copy, modify, distribute, or create derivative works from the Service without our prior written consent.

  • We will investigate valid notices and may remove or disable access to allegedly infringing material at our discretion. Repeat infringers may have their accounts terminated.

11. Disclaimers

  • THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, OR THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE.

12. Limitation of Liability

  • TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, CARD SHOWS NEARBY AND ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, OR GOODWILL, ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
  • TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING FROM THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICE WILL NOT EXCEED ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS ($100).
  • Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages, so some of the above limitations may not apply to you.

  • Provisions that by their nature should survive termination (including Sections 9–13 and 16) will survive.

15. Changes to These Terms

  • We may revise these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date below. Your continued use of the Service after changes take effect constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms.

16. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution
