Terms of Service

These Terms are a contract between you and [the operator — not yet configured] ("we", "us") governing your use of AuctionAlerts at auctionalertspro.com. By creating an account or using the service, you agree to them.

Independent tool — not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by eBay Inc. AuctionAlerts helps you monitor public eBay listings. Your use of eBay remains subject to eBay's own terms.

1. The service

AuctionAlerts monitors eBay listings that match the searches you save and notifies you when matching items appear. Optional features include an AI search assistant and, where available and approved, automated bidding ("Sniper"). Features may change as the service evolves.

2. Your account

You must provide accurate information and keep your credentials secure. You are responsible for activity under your account.
You must be at least 16 and able to form a binding contract.
If you connect your own eBay developer keys, you are responsible for complying with eBay's developer terms and any usage limits.

3. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

Use the service to violate any law or the terms of eBay or any other platform;
Attempt to disrupt, overload, reverse-engineer, or gain unauthorized access to the service;
Resell or redistribute the service without our written permission.

4. Plans, billing & cancellation

Paid plans are billed in advance on a recurring basis through our payment processors (Stripe or PayPal) until cancelled.
You can cancel at any time; cancellation stops future renewals and takes effect at the end of the current billing period.
Except where required by law, payments are non-refundable. We may change prices with reasonable notice.

5. Alerts & automated bidding — no guarantee

Alerts and any automated bidding are provided on a best-effort basis and depend on third parties (notably eBay's APIs, email, and SMS providers) that we do not control. We do not guarantee that every matching listing will be detected, that an alert will arrive within any particular time, or that a bid will be placed or won. Where you enable Sniper, you set your maximum bid and remain solely responsible for the resulting purchase obligations on eBay.

6. Intellectual property

We own the AuctionAlerts software and brand. You retain ownership of the searches and content you create, and grant us the limited licence needed to operate the service for you.

7. Disclaimers

The service is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind to the fullest extent permitted by law, including any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.

8. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, missed listings, or unsuccessful bids. Our total liability for any claim relating to the service will not exceed the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim.

9. Termination

You may stop using the service and delete your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate accounts that breach these Terms or create risk to the service or other users.

10. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of [jurisdiction — not yet configured], without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. The courts located there will have jurisdiction, except where mandatory local law provides otherwise.

11. Changes

We may update these Terms; material changes will be posted here with a new effective date. Continued use after a change means you accept the updated Terms.
