Welcome to Binde, a card collection tracking and social community app operated by Binde LLC. By creating an account or using Binde, you agree to these Terms of Service. Please read them carefully before using the app.
By accessing or using Binde, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to these Terms, you may not use Binde. These Terms apply to all users, including users who are minors aged 13 to 17.
You must be at least 13 years old to create an account. By creating an account, you represent that you are at least 13 years of age. If you are under 18, you represent that your parent or legal guardian has reviewed these Terms and consents to your use of Binde. We reserve the right to terminate any account we determine belongs to a user under 13.
You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account and for all activity that occurs under your account. You agree to notify us immediately of any unauthorized use of your account. We are not liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to protect your account credentials.
You may only maintain one account. Creating multiple accounts to evade a suspension or ban is prohibited.
Binde is a community for card collectors. You agree to use Binde only for lawful purposes and in accordance with these Terms and our Community Guidelines.
You agree not to:
You retain ownership of content you create and upload to Binde, including posts, comments, and card photos. By uploading or posting content, you grant Binde LLC a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide license to store, display, and distribute that content within the app for the purpose of operating the service.
You represent and warrant that you own or have the necessary rights to any content you upload, and that your content does not infringe the intellectual property or other rights of any third party.
We reserve the right to remove any content that violates these Terms or our Community Guidelines, without notice.
Binde provides in-app tools to report posts, comments, and messages that violate these Terms. We review all reports and may take action including content removal, account suspension, or permanent termination. We are not obligated to take any particular action in response to a report.
You may block other users at any time from their profile page. Blocking removes the follow relationship and hides that user's content from your feed.
Card names, images, and related data displayed in Binde are the property of their respective owners, including card game publishers, sports leagues, and other rights holders. Binde LLC is an independent tool and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by any card game publisher, sports organization, or rights holder.
The Binde name, logo, and app design are the intellectual property of Binde LLC. You may not use them without our prior written permission.
Any card prices or estimated values shown in Binde are sourced from third-party pricing data and are provided for informational purposes only. They are not guaranteed to be accurate, current, or reflective of actual market values. Binde LLC is not responsible for any financial decisions made based on these values.
Binde offers features that allow users to mark cards as available for trade or sale, discover nearby collectors, and arrange in-person meetups at designated Safe Spot locations. These features are designed to foster local, in-person collector communities — not to function as an online marketplace or e-commerce platform. The following terms apply to these features.
Binde is not a marketplace. Binde does not facilitate payments, hold funds, take a commission, or act as a party to any transaction between users. All trades and sales are private arrangements made entirely between the users involved. Binde's role is limited to helping collectors discover each other and connect — Binde is built around local, community-based collecting, not online commerce.
Local radius requirement. Trading and selling features are limited to collectors within approximately 250 miles of each other. This applies to all users, including collectors who follow each other. This is a deliberate design choice: Binde's trading and selling features exist to help you connect with other collectors in your area and arrange in-person exchanges, not to operate as a shipping-based marketplace or facilitate remote commerce. You will not be able to discover, message about, or arrange a trade or sale with a user outside this radius through these features.
Public profile and Discover. Trading and selling listings are surfaced to other collectors through the Discover feed, which only shows Public profiles — if your profile is set to Private, your listings will not appear in Discover and other collectors will not be able to find you through it. This does not prevent you from trading or selling with collectors you already follow or who follow you: mutual connections can still view each other's listings and arrange trades or sales regardless of privacy setting. You can change your profile visibility at any time in Settings.
Location services required. Trading and selling features require location services to be enabled, for all users and regardless of follow status, in addition to and separately from the Discover feed. Binde uses your approximate location solely to enforce the radius requirement described above and to show you nearby collectors; see our Privacy Policy for details on how location data is collected and used. If location services are disabled, trading and selling features will not be available to you.
No guarantee of transactions. Binde makes no representations or warranties regarding the accuracy of any listing, the condition or authenticity of any card, or the reliability of any user. All trades and sales are conducted entirely at your own risk. Binde LLC is not responsible for any loss, damage, fraud, dispute, or dissatisfaction arising from a transaction arranged through the platform.
Safe Spots. Certain card shops and businesses may be designated as "Safe Spots" within Binde to serve as suggested meetup locations for in-person trades. These are independently owned and operated third-party businesses. Binde LLC does not own, operate, manage, or control any Safe Spot location. Binde makes no guarantee regarding the safety, security, staffing, or suitability of any Safe Spot, and is not liable for any incident, injury, loss, theft, or harm that occurs at or in connection with a Safe Spot location. Safe Spot designations may be added or removed at any time without notice.
Safe Spot businesses. By registering as a Safe Spot on Binde, a business acknowledges that it is an independent third party, that Binde LLC is not responsible for events occurring at its location, and that it consents to being listed within the app as a suggested meetup location.
Users under 18. Users between the ages of 13 and 17 may not list cards as available for trade or sale without verifiable parental or guardian consent. By permitting a minor to use Binde, the parent or guardian accepts full responsibility for any transactions the minor initiates or participates in through the platform.
Your responsibility. By using the trading, Discover, and Safe Swap features, you agree that you are solely responsible for any transaction you enter into, any meetup you arrange, and your personal safety when meeting another user in person. Binde strongly recommends meeting only at designated Safe Spot locations during normal business hours, and never alone.
Your use of Binde is also governed by our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference.
We may suspend or permanently terminate your account at any time, with or without notice, if we determine that you have violated these Terms, our Community Guidelines, or for any other reason at our sole discretion. You may delete your account at any time from within the app.
Upon termination, your right to use Binde ceases immediately. Provisions of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination will survive, including sections on intellectual property, disclaimers, and limitation of liability.
Binde is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, either express or implied. We do not guarantee that the service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that your data will never be lost. We strongly recommend maintaining your own records of your collection.
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Binde LLC and its officers, employees, and agents shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including loss of data, loss of profits, or loss of goodwill, arising out of or related to your use of Binde.
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of North Carolina, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. Any dispute arising from these Terms or your use of Binde shall first be attempted to be resolved informally by contacting us at the email below. If informal resolution fails, disputes shall be resolved through binding arbitration in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association, except that either party may seek injunctive relief in a court of competent jurisdiction.
We may update these Terms from time to time. We will notify you of material changes by updating the date at the top of this page. Your continued use of Binde after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms.
