Terms of Use

Welcome to TCGScan: Trading Card Scanner, provided by Marcana B.V. (the "Company").

The following Terms of Use ("Terms") apply when you use the TCGScan app (the "App") or the service provided via the App (the "Service").

Please review these Terms carefully. By accessing or using the App, you show you agree to these Terms. If you don't agree to these Terms, you may not access or use the App.

About the App

TCGScan identifies Pokémon trading cards from a photo you take, shows market prices for them from TCGplayer and Cardmarket with links to those sites and to eBay, lets you build collections and see their total value, and lets you browse card sets and search for cards.

Card identification and prices are provided for information only. They are not a professional appraisal, and the Company does not guarantee that a card is identified correctly or that a price matches what a buyer will pay. Check the card and the listing yourself before you buy, sell or trade.

The App is under constant development, so features may be added, changed or removed.

Card Recognition

When you scan a card, the App sends the photo to an AI service that reads the card's name, HP and number, and then looks the card up in the App's card data. AI can make mistakes, so the App may show the wrong card or no match at all. The Privacy Policy explains what is sent and who receives it.

Third-Party Websites

The App links to TCGplayer, Cardmarket and eBay so you can view prices and listings there. These sites are run by other companies, and their own terms and privacy policies apply once you open them. The Company does not earn a commission from these links and is not responsible for those sites, their listings or any purchase you make there.

Your Collections

The collections you create are stored only on your device, so the Company cannot restore them if you delete the App or lose your device.

Subscriptions and Payments

TCGScan offers a premium subscription through Apple's App Store, billed weekly or yearly. The weekly plan may start with a free trial of 3 days. Subscriptions, including a free trial, renew automatically unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage or cancel your subscription in your Apple ID settings. Refunds are handled by Apple according to its policies.

Paid Services

Subscriptions and any in-App purchases are paid through Apple (the Company's "Billing Service Provider"). Apple collects your payment details; the Company does not receive them.

You authorize Apple to charge you according to the terms of your subscription until you cancel it, and you agree to pay any charges so incurred.

The Company reserves the right to change its fees. If the Company does change its fees, it will provide notice of the change within the App. Your continued use of the App after the fee change becomes effective constitutes your agreement to pay the changed amount.

To avoid being charged after a free trial, cancel at least 24 hours before the trial ends. Otherwise, you will be responsible for payment for the full term of the subscription period.

If you cancel your subscription, you will not be charged for future periods. The Company does not refund charges for the current period.

You acknowledge that if you elect to purchase a subscription your subscription is subject to automatic renewals and you hereby consent to and accept responsibility for all recurring charges to your applicable payment based on this automatic renewal feature without further authorization from you and without further notice except as required by law. You further acknowledge that the amount of the recurring charge may change if applicable tax rates change or if the fees have been increased.

Age Restriction

The App can be used by people of all ages.

Use Restrictions

Your permission to use the App is conditioned upon the following restrictions and conditions. You agree that you will not:

Monitoring and Compliance

Although the Company is not obligated to monitor access to or use of the App, it has the right to do so for the purpose of operating the Service, to ensure compliance with these Terms, and to comply with applicable law or other legal requirements. The Company reserves the right, but is not obligated, to remove or disable your access to the App, at any time and without notice, if it, at its sole discretion, considers your use of the App to be in violation of these Terms.

The Company has the right to investigate violations of these Terms or conduct that affects the Service. It may also consult and cooperate with law enforcement authorities to prosecute users who violate the law.
