These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your use of the TimeWarden: Watch Identifier mobile app, website, and related services (together, the “Service”), operated by TimeWarden AI, based in Texas, United States (“TimeWarden”, “we”, or “us”). By accessing or using the Service, you agree to these Terms, our Privacy Policy, and, if you subscribe, our Subscription Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.
1. Eligibility
You must be at least 18 years old and legally able to enter into a binding agreement to use the Service. You may use the Service only where it is lawful and where our third-party services are available.
2. Accounts and account security
You may use an anonymous account or register an email account. You agree to provide accurate information, protect your password and device access, and promptly notify us if you suspect unauthorized use. You are responsible for activity performed through your account except to the extent caused by our breach of duty.
An anonymous account may be associated with an Android device identifier so reinstalling the app does not reset usage limits. Signing out or uninstalling does not delete server records. Account deletion is described in our deletion instructions.
3. Limited license and ownership
Subject to these Terms, we grant you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable license to use the Service for personal, non-commercial purposes. The Service, including its code, design, databases, branding, and original materials, is owned by TimeWarden or its licensors and protected by applicable law. No rights are granted except those expressly stated here.
Watch manufacturers’ names, trademarks, and references belong to their respective owners and are used for descriptive identification. TimeWarden is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by any watch manufacturer unless expressly stated.
4. AI identifications, reports, and market information
TimeWarden’s AI analysis examines visible watch details and available reference and market evidence to identify watches and estimate attributes, authenticity indicators, rarity, condition-related observations, and market value. Results may be inaccurate, incomplete, duplicated, unavailable, or out of date. A photograph cannot establish authenticity, internal condition, provenance, title, or exact value.
TimeWarden is not a professional appraisal, authentication, grading, insurance, investment, legal, or purchasing service. Do not rely on it as the sole basis for buying, selling, insuring, servicing, or investing in a watch. Obtain an in-person assessment from an appropriately qualified professional.
5. Your photos, records, and generated artwork
You retain ownership of content you submit. You confirm that you have the rights and permissions needed to submit it and that it does not violate law or another person’s rights. You grant TimeWarden and its service providers a limited, worldwide license to host, transmit, reproduce, transform, and process that content only as reasonably necessary to operate, secure, support, and improve the requested Service features.
Watch photos submitted for scanning are handled as described in the Privacy Policy. Shared, de-linked watch catalogue information and validated watch artwork may be maintained separately from your account. Generated output may not be unique and may resemble output provided to others. Your ability to use generated output is subject to applicable law and third-party rights; we do not guarantee exclusive ownership or registrability.
6. Acceptable use
You must not, and must not assist anyone to:
- use the Service unlawfully, fraudulently, deceptively, or to violate another person’s rights;
- submit malicious code or content you do not have permission to process;
- bypass subscriptions, scan limits, rate limits, authentication, access controls, or safety measures;
- scrape, crawl, probe, overload, disrupt, or interfere with the Service or another user;
- reverse engineer, decompile, extract models or data, or create a competing dataset or service except where a restriction is prohibited by law;
- misrepresent automated output as a certified appraisal, authentication, or guarantee from TimeWarden; or
- use the Service in a manner that could expose TimeWarden or its providers to legal, security, or reputational harm.
7. Free service and subscriptions
The free tier may include scan and collection limits and advertising. Premium features are offered through Google Play and may be subject to fair-use and anti-abuse limits even when described as “unlimited”. Prices, trial eligibility, renewal timing, cancellation, and refund information are stated at purchase and in our Subscription Terms. Uninstalling the app or deleting a TimeWarden account does not cancel a Google Play subscription.
8. Service providers and links
We rely on specialized infrastructure and service providers for private storage, email, push notifications, advertising, and billing to operate TimeWarden. Their role in processing information is described in the Privacy Policy and Service Provider Notice. Technical implementation details are not part of these Terms and may change without notice.
Purchases and external websites may be governed by separate terms between you and the relevant provider. TimeWarden does not control third-party websites, app stores, networks, or services and is not responsible for their independent acts, content, or availability, except where applicable law provides otherwise.
9. Changes to features and availability
We may add, modify, suspend, or discontinue features; change free limits; update automated systems; or perform maintenance. We do not promise uninterrupted or error-free availability, permanent storage of shared catalogue content, or continued compatibility with every device. Where required, material changes to paid features will be communicated and applicable consumer rights will be honored.
10. Suspension and termination
You may stop using the Service and delete your account at any time. We may limit, suspend, or terminate access when we reasonably believe you violated these Terms, created risk or legal exposure, failed to pay, abused the Service, or when necessary to protect users or systems. Where appropriate and legally required, we will provide notice or an opportunity to appeal. Provisions that by their nature should survive termination will survive.
11. Disclaimer of warranties
To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Service and all results are provided “as is” and “as available”. TimeWarden disclaims express and implied warranties, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, non-infringement, accuracy, and uninterrupted availability. We do not warrant that any identification, authenticity observation, report, artwork, or value estimate is correct.
12. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, TimeWarden and its suppliers will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages; loss of profits, data, goodwill, or opportunity; or losses arising from reliance on an identification, report, authenticity observation, or value estimate. TimeWarden’s total liability arising from the Service will not exceed the greater of USD 50 or the amount you paid TimeWarden through the applicable app store during the 12 months before the event giving rise to the claim.
Some jurisdictions do not allow certain exclusions or limits. In those jurisdictions, these provisions apply only to the maximum extent permitted, and they do not limit rights that cannot lawfully be waived.
13. Indemnification
To the extent permitted by law, you agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless TimeWarden and its personnel from third-party claims, damages, and reasonable costs arising from your unlawful misuse of the Service, content you were not entitled to submit, or material violation of these Terms. This does not require you to indemnify us for our own unlawful conduct.
14. Disputes and governing law
Before filing a formal claim, please email support@timewardenai.app with a description of the dispute and requested resolution. We will try in good faith to resolve it informally within 30 days. Either party may bring an eligible matter in small-claims court.
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas, United States, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles. Subject to applicable consumer-protection law, disputes that are not resolved informally or in small-claims court will be brought in the state or federal courts with jurisdiction in Texas. Nothing in this section deprives you of mandatory rights or forums available under the law where you live.
15. General terms
- Entire agreement: these Terms, the Privacy Policy, the Subscription Terms, and terms presented at purchase form the agreement concerning the Service.
- Severability: if a provision is unenforceable, it will be limited to the minimum extent necessary and the remainder will continue.
- No waiver: failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver.
- Assignment: you may not transfer these Terms without our consent. We may transfer them as part of a reorganization, financing, merger, acquisition, or sale, subject to applicable law.
- Electronic notices: notices may be provided in the app, on the Service, or to the email associated with your account.
16. Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms. We will update the date above and provide additional notice when a change is material or legally requires it. Changes apply prospectively from their effective date. Continued use after that date means you accept the revised Terms, except where affirmative consent is required.
