If you are accessing the Service on behalf of a business or other legal entity, you represent that you have the authority to bind that entity to these Terms, in which case "you" refers to that entity.
3. The Service
G.G. Gambit is a trading card game marketplace, scanning, and inventory platform. The Service enables Users to (i) scan and identify Cards using image-recognition technology, (ii) maintain personal or organizational inventory and wishlist records, (iii) view pricing data aggregated from third-party sources, (iv) for eligible Users with the Dealer overlay activated, post and manage listings on the Marketplace and engage in peer-to-peer transactions, and (v) for eligible business Users, configure tier pricing and integrate with point-of-sale systems in accordance with applicable feature gates.
We may modify, add, or remove features of the Service at any time. We will use reasonable efforts to give you advance notice of material changes that adversely affect your use of the Service.
4. Accounts and Security
To use most features of the Service, you must create an Account. You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information, and to keep that information up to date. You are responsible for safeguarding your password and for all activity occurring under your Account. You must notify us promptly at support@nouvos.one if you suspect unauthorized access.
We may, in our sole and reasonable discretion, refuse to register, suspend, or terminate an Account that has provided false information, been used to violate these Terms or any applicable law, or otherwise creates risk to the Service or other Users.
5. Subscription Plans, Free Trials, and Billing
Certain features of the Service are available only under paid subscription plans (each, a "Plan"). Current Plans, included features, and prices are displayed in the Service. We may offer free trial periods; unless you cancel before the trial ends, your Plan will renew at the published rate.
Plans are billed in advance on a recurring basis (monthly or annually, as you select). By providing a payment method, you authorize us and our payment processor (currently Stripe, Inc.) to charge that method for all amounts due. You are responsible for any taxes associated with your Plan.
Auto-renewal. Your Plan will automatically renew at the end of each billing period at the then-current published rate, unless you cancel before the renewal date. You may cancel at any time through your Account settings or by contacting support@nouvos.one. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period; you retain access to paid features until that date.
Refunds. Except where required by applicable consumer-protection law, all fees are non-refundable. Partial-period refunds are not provided.
Price changes. We may change prices for any Plan with at least thirty (30) days' advance notice. If you do not agree to the new price, you may cancel before it takes effect.
6. Marketplace Transactions
The Marketplace is a venue that lets Users transact directly with one another. Nouvos is not a party to any sale, trade, or other transaction between Users and does not own, sell, buy, take title to, store, ship, authenticate, grade, or insure the Cards offered on the Marketplace. The complete terms applicable to the Marketplace are set forth in our Marketplace Disclaimer & Facilitator Agreement, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference.
7. Payments, Escrow, and Disbursement
When payment processing is enabled for Marketplace transactions, payments are handled by Stripe, Inc. and its affiliates ("Stripe") through Stripe Connect or an equivalent service. By using payment-processing features, you accept the applicable Stripe Services Agreement and acknowledge that Stripe (not Nouvos) is responsible for custody and disbursement of funds.
Sellers may be required to complete Stripe's identity-verification and know-your-customer (KYC) procedures before receiving payouts. Funds may be held in escrow until delivery is confirmed in accordance with our Marketplace processes. We charge a platform fee of 5.5% of the sale price on completed Marketplace transactions; current fee schedules are also displayed in the Service, and we may change this fee with reasonable advance notice.
8. User Content
You retain all ownership rights you have in your User Content. By submitting User Content to the Service, you grant Nouvos a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable, and transferable license to host, copy, reproduce, process, adapt, modify, publish, transmit, display, and distribute that User Content for the purposes of operating, providing, improving, and promoting the Service. This license terminates when you delete the relevant User Content, except (i) to the extent the User Content has been shared with other Users who have not deleted it, and (ii) for retained backups and audit records as described in our Privacy Policy.
You represent and warrant that: (a) you own or have all necessary rights, licenses, consents, and permissions to submit your User Content and to grant the license above; (b) your User Content does not and will not infringe, misappropriate, or violate any third-party right; and (c) your User Content does not violate the Acceptable Use Policy.
9. Card Images and Third-Party Intellectual Property
Card images and certain catalog metadata accessible through the Service are the intellectual property of their respective owners (including, without limitation, The Pokémon Company International, Inc.; Wizards of the Coast LLC; Konami Digital Entertainment Co., Ltd.; and other rights holders). Use of these materials within the Service is intended to fall within nominative or descriptive fair use for the purpose of identifying physical Cards in commerce. Nouvos is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by any of these third parties. All trademarks, service marks, and logos are the property of their respective owners.
10. Our Intellectual Property
The Service (excluding User Content and third-party materials) is owned by Nouvos and its licensors and is protected by United States and international copyright, trademark, patent, trade secret, and other intellectual property laws. Subject to your compliance with these Terms, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to access and use the Service for your personal, non-commercial purposes — except where a paid Plan expressly authorizes commercial use within the Marketplace or for business-account features.
You agree not to: (a) copy, modify, distribute, sell, lease, or create derivative works of any portion of the Service; (b) reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the Service; (c) scrape, crawl, or otherwise programmatically access the Service except through APIs we expressly make available; or (d) remove or alter any proprietary notices.
11. Acceptable Use
Your use of the Service is governed by our Acceptable Use Policy, which is incorporated by reference and which lists conduct that is prohibited. Violation of the Acceptable Use Policy may result in suspension or termination of your Account, removal of User Content, and other remedies available under these Terms and applicable law.
12. Copyright Infringement (DMCA)
Nouvos respects the intellectual property rights of others and responds to notices of alleged copyright infringement in accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). To submit a DMCA notice or counter-notice, see our DMCA Policy.
13. Privacy
Your privacy is important to us. Our handling of personal information is described in the Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference. By using the Service, you consent to that handling.
14. Third-Party Services and Integrations
The Service may integrate with or display content from third-party services, including Stripe (payments), Supabase (data and authentication infrastructure), Anthropic and other AI service providers (card-recognition and language inference), TCGPlayer (pricing data), the Pokémon TCG API, eBay (pricing and listings), and point-of-sale providers such as Shopify, Square, Lightspeed, and Clover. Your use of those services is governed by their own terms and privacy policies, and Nouvos is not responsible for those third-party services.
15. Suspension and Termination
You may terminate your Account at any time by following the deletion process in your Account settings or by emailing support@nouvos.one. Subject to our Privacy Policy, we will delete or anonymize your personal information following the procedures and within the timeframes described there.
We may suspend or terminate your Account, with or without notice, if we reasonably believe you have breached these Terms or the Acceptable Use Policy, created legal or reputational risk for the Service or other Users, or engaged in activity that is fraudulent, deceptive, or unlawful. We may also discontinue the Service in whole or in part with reasonable notice.
Sections that by their nature should survive termination (including Sections 8, 10, 16 through 20, and any accrued payment obligations) will survive.
16. Disclaimers
The Service is provided "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE" without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, statutory, or otherwise. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Nouvos disclaims all warranties, including without limitation implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, non-infringement, and any warranties arising from course of dealing or usage of trade.
We do not warrant that: (a) the Service will be uninterrupted, secure, or error-free; (b) pricing data, scan results, or recommendations will be accurate or complete; (c) Cards offered by other Users on the Marketplace will be authentic, in the represented condition, or delivered as promised; or (d) any defect in the Service will be corrected. Pricing displays are estimates derived from third-party data and are not offers, appraisals, or guarantees.
17. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, in no event will Nouvos, its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents, suppliers, or licensors be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages (including loss of profits, revenue, data, goodwill, or other intangible losses) arising out of or relating to your use of, or inability to use, the Service, even if Nouvos has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
In any event, Nouvos's aggregate liability for all claims relating to the Service is limited to the greater of (i) the total amount you paid to Nouvos in the twelve (12) months preceding the event giving rise to the claim, or (ii) one hundred United States dollars (US$100).
Some jurisdictions do not allow the limitation or exclusion of liability for incidental or consequential damages. In those jurisdictions, the limitations above apply only to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.
18. Dispute Resolution — Informal Negotiation, Mandatory Mediation, and Binding Arbitration; Class-Action Waiver
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT REQUIRES YOU AND NOUVOS TO RESOLVE MOST DISPUTES THROUGH INDIVIDUAL MEDIATION IN COOK COUNTY, ILLINOIS AND, IF NECESSARY, BINDING INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION ADMINISTERED BY JAMS. IT WAIVES YOUR RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION OR TO A TRIAL BY JURY.
18.1 Informal Negotiation
Before either party initiates mediation or arbitration, the party with a complaint shall send a written notice of the dispute to the other party (to legal@nouvos.one for Nouvos, or to the email address associated with your Account for you). The notice must describe the nature and basis of the claim and the specific relief sought. The parties shall negotiate in good faith for at least sixty (60) days from receipt of the notice before initiating any other dispute-resolution process under this Section.
18.2 Mandatory Mediation in Cook County, Illinois
If informal negotiation does not resolve the dispute, the parties shall submit the dispute to non-binding mediation administered by JAMS under the JAMS International Mediation Rules. The mediation shall take place in Cook County, Illinois, before a single mediator selected by mutual agreement of the parties or, failing such agreement within fifteen (15) days, by the mediation provider. Each party shall bear its own attorneys' fees and costs, and the parties shall share equally the mediator's fees and the administrative costs charged by the mediation provider. Mediation shall be completed within ninety (90) days after a demand for mediation is filed unless the parties agree in writing to an extension.
18.3 Binding Individual Arbitration
If mediation does not resolve the dispute, any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service (each, a "Dispute") shall be resolved exclusively by final and binding individual arbitration administered by JAMS under the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures (for claims exceeding $250,000) or JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures (for all other claims), as modified by these Terms. The arbitration shall take place in Cook County, Illinois, before a single arbitrator. The arbitrator's decision shall be final and binding, and judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. The Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §§ 1 et seq., governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Section, including the determination of arbitrability.
18.4 Class-Action Waiver
YOU AND NOUVOS EACH AGREE THAT ANY MEDIATION OR ARBITRATION UNDER THIS SECTION SHALL BE CONDUCTED ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT AS A CLASS, COLLECTIVE, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE OR JOIN MORE THAN ONE PERSON'S OR PARTY'S CLAIMS AND MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A CONSOLIDATED, REPRESENTATIVE, OR CLASS PROCEEDING. THE ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD RELIEF ONLY IN FAVOR OF THE INDIVIDUAL PARTY SEEKING RELIEF AND ONLY TO THE EXTENT NECESSARY TO PROVIDE RELIEF NECESSITATED BY THAT PARTY'S INDIVIDUAL CLAIM.
18.5 Jury-Trial Waiver
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, YOU AND NOUVOS EACH IRREVOCABLY WAIVE ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING, OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICE.
18.6 Exceptions; Small Claims; Injunctive Relief
Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may (a) bring an individual action in the small-claims court of competent jurisdiction (provided the action remains in such court and is not removed or appealed to a court of general jurisdiction); (b) pursue an enforcement action through the applicable federal, state, or local agency if that action is available; (c) seek injunctive or equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of intellectual-property rights; or (d) file suit in court to compel arbitration or to enforce an arbitration award.
18.7 Time Limitation
Any cause of action arising out of or related to these Terms or the Service must be commenced within one (1) year after the cause of action accrues; otherwise, the cause of action is permanently barred. This paragraph does not apply to claims for which a shorter or longer limitations period is required by applicable law and cannot be contractually shortened.
18.8 Thirty-Day Right to Opt Out of Arbitration
You may opt out of the arbitration agreement and class-action waiver set forth in Sections 18.3 and 18.4 by sending written notice of your decision to opt out to legal@nouvos.one within thirty (30) days after you first accept these Terms. The notice must include your full name, the email address associated with your Account, and a clear statement that you wish to opt out of arbitration. Opting out of arbitration does not affect any other provision of these Terms, including the mediation requirement in Section 18.2 and the exclusive venue election in Section 19.
19. Governing Law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Illinois, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles, except that the Federal Arbitration Act governs Section 18. Subject to Section 18, the courts located in Cook County, Illinois will have exclusive jurisdiction over any matter not subject to arbitration.
20. Indemnification
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Nouvos, its affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any claim, liability, damage, loss, and expense (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or in any way connected with: (a) your access to or use of the Service; (b) your User Content; (c) your violation of these Terms or any applicable law; (d) your violation of any third-party right, including intellectual-property or privacy rights; and (e) any dispute between you and another User arising from a Marketplace transaction.
21. Changes to These Terms; Re-Acceptance on Material Updates
Nouvos may modify these Terms from time to time. We will indicate the date of the most recent revision in the Effective Date at the top of these Terms and will assign each revision a Version identifier. For material changes — including but not limited to changes to the Platform Fee, the Dispute Resolution provisions, the Acceptable Use Policy, or the scope of license — we will provide notice through the Service (such as a banner or modal in the application) and, where reasonably practicable, by email to the address associated with your Account.
When we publish a material change, your continued use of the Service after the date the change takes effect requires that you re-accept the updated Terms. We will present the updated Terms in the application together with a check-box and acknowledgment button that you must complete to continue using paid or transactional features. We will record the version accepted, the timestamp, your User identifier, and the network address from which the acceptance was submitted, for each acceptance event. Both Collector and Store Account holders, including any User with the Dealer overlay activated, are subject to this re-acceptance requirement.
If you do not agree to a material change, you may terminate your Account in accordance with these Terms before the change takes effect. Continued use of the Service after the effective date of a material change, or completion of the in-app acknowledgment, will constitute your binding acceptance of the updated Terms.
22. International Use
The Service is operated from the United States. By using the Service from outside the United States, you consent to the transfer of your information to the United States and agree to comply with all applicable export-control and sanctions laws.
23. General Provisions
Entire Agreement. These Terms (together with the Privacy Policy, Acceptable Use Policy, Marketplace Disclaimer, DMCA Policy, Cookie Policy, and any Plan-specific or feature-specific terms referenced from within the Service) constitute the entire agreement between you and Nouvos regarding the Service.
No Waiver; Severability. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of our right to do so later. If any provision is held to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.
Assignment. You may not assign or transfer these Terms, by operation of law or otherwise, without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms in connection with a merger, acquisition, corporate reorganization, or sale of all or substantially all of our assets.
Notices. We may give notices to you by email to the address associated with your Account or by posting in the Service. You may give notices to us at legal@nouvos.one or by mail to on file with the Illinois Secretary of State; available on written request to legal@nouvos.one.
Force Majeure. Neither party will be liable for failure to perform any obligation under these Terms (other than payment obligations) due to causes beyond its reasonable control, including acts of God, war, terrorism, riots, embargoes, acts of civil or military authorities, fire, floods, accidents, pandemics, strikes, or shortages of transportation, facilities, fuel, energy, labor, or materials.
Contact. Questions about these Terms can be sent to legal@nouvos.one.
