Terms of Service
1. Eligibility & Authority
You must be at least 18 years of age (or the age of majority where you live) and capable of forming a binding contract. If you use the Service on behalf of an entity, you represent that you have authority to bind that entity, and “you” includes that entity.
2. Description of the Service; No Professional Services
Cheatbuy provides consumer decision-support tools, which may include game-cartridge authenticity analysis (including beta AI features), product reliability reporting and statistics, and cost / energy / expected-value calculators. The Service provides informational estimates and automated opinions only. It is not legal, financial, appraisal, authentication, engineering, insurance, or other professional advice, and it is not a certification, warranty, guarantee, or insurance product.
3. Accounts; Security
Some features require authentication (e.g., Google or Apple sign-in). You must provide accurate information, keep credentials confidential, and promptly notify us of unauthorized use. We may suspend or terminate access to protect the Service, other users, or to enforce these Terms.
4. Acceptable Use
Your use must comply with our Acceptable Use Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms. Prohibited conduct includes unlawful use, scraping without permission, fraud, false reliability reports, and misuse of verification outputs as certified authentication.
5. Artificial Intelligence & Automated Outputs
Certain features use machine learning and third-party AI providers. You acknowledge that:
- outputs may be wrong, incomplete, biased, or outdated;
- AI authenticity results are not formal authentications or certificates;
- images and prompts you submit may be processed by us and subprocessors to perform the requested analysis and to maintain and secure the Service;
- you must independently verify material decisions (purchases, sales, insurance, collections).
We disclose AI involvement in feature UIs (including Game Verifier Beta). Deceptive reliance on or misrepresentation of AI outputs is prohibited.
6. User Content License
If you submit content (reports, images, notes, feedback), the User Content Waiver applies and is incorporated here. You grant Chillcoders LLC the licenses stated there and represent you have rights to grant them.
7. Intellectual Property
The Service (software, branding, layout, and Company-created content) is owned by Chillcoders LLC or its licensors and protected by U.S. and international IP laws. We grant you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to access the Service for lawful personal or internal business use. No other rights are granted.
8. Third-Party Services
The Service may depend on third-party APIs, models, identity providers, hosting, and datasets. We are not responsible for third-party services. Your use of them may be subject to their terms and privacy policies.
9. Privacy
Our collection and use of personal information is described in the Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy, which are incorporated by reference. California residents also have rights described under “Your Privacy Choices.”
10. Disclaimers (AS IS)
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ACCURACY, COMPLETENESS, OR UNINTERRUPTED / ERROR-FREE OPERATION. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT AI OUTPUTS, RELIABILITY STATISTICS, OR CALCULATOR RESULTS WILL MEET YOUR EXPECTATIONS OR BE FREE FROM ERROR.
11. Limitation of Liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, CHILLCODERS LLC AND ITS MEMBERS, MANAGERS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, AND AFFILIATES SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, GOODWILL, OR BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE SERVICE OR THESE TERMS, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STRICT LIABILITY, OR OTHERWISE, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY.
OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS RELATING TO THE SERVICE SHALL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNTS YOU PAID TO US FOR THE SERVICE IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM AROSE OR (B) ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS (US $100).
Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations; in those cases, our liability is limited to the maximum extent permitted by law. Nothing in these Terms excludes liability that cannot be excluded under applicable law (including for fraud or willful misconduct where such exclusion is prohibited).
12. Indemnification
You will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Chillcoders LLC and its members, managers, officers, employees, and agents from and against any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or related to: (a) your use of the Service; (b) your User Content; (c) your violation of these Terms or law; or (d) your infringement of any third-party right.
13. Release
To the fullest extent permitted by law, you release Chillcoders LLC from claims arising from disputes with other users, reliance on Service outputs, or third-party transactions. If you are a California resident, you waive California Civil Code § 1542 (and similar laws elsewhere) to the extent applicable to this release.
14. Dispute Resolution; Binding Arbitration; Class Waiver
Informal resolution first. Before filing a claim, you agree to email [email protected] a written description of the dispute and to attempt informal resolution for 30 days.
Binding arbitration. Except for (i) small-claims court actions within jurisdictional limits and (ii) claims for injunctive or other equitable relief for IP infringement or unauthorized access, any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service shall be resolved by binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Consumer Arbitration Rules. The Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq.) governs interpretation and enforcement of this arbitration agreement. Venue for arbitration shall be Wilmington, Delaware, unless the AAA rules or the arbitrator require otherwise, or the parties agree to a remote hearing.
Class action waiver. YOU AND CHILLCODERS LLC AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.
Jury trial waiver. IF A CLAIM PROCEEDS IN COURT RATHER THAN ARBITRATION, YOU AND CHILLCODERS LLC WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.
Opt-out. You may opt out of the arbitration agreement by emailing [email protected] within 30 days of first accepting these Terms, with subject “Arbitration Opt-Out,” stating your name and that you opt out. Opting out does not affect other Terms.
15. Governing Law; Venue
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, excluding conflict-of-law rules, except that the Federal Arbitration Act governs the arbitration agreement. Subject to arbitration, exclusive venue for permitted court actions lies in the state or federal courts in Wilmington, Delaware, and you consent to personal jurisdiction there—except where mandatory consumer protection laws of your residence require otherwise.
16. DMCA
Copyright complaints are handled under our DMCA Policy.
17. Changes; Termination
We may modify these Terms by posting a new version with an updated version identifier. Material changes affecting existing users will be effective no sooner than the stated effective date. Continued use of gated features after you accept the new version constitutes assent. We may suspend or discontinue the Service at any time. Sections that by nature should survive (IP, disclaimers, limits, indemnity, arbitration, etc.) survive termination.
18. Severability; Entire Agreement
If any provision is held unenforceable, it will be modified to the minimum extent necessary, and the remainder will remain in effect. These Terms (including incorporated policies) are the entire agreement between you and Chillcoders LLC regarding the Service and supersede prior understandings on that subject. No waiver is effective unless in writing.
