Terms of Service

1. What this is

Stock-It Alerts is a notification service. You choose sealed Pokémon TCG products you want to watch. We read retailer product pages, and when one of your products changes from out of stock to in stock, we send a message to a Discord channel you nominate.

That’s the whole service. There is nothing else to it.

2. What this is not

We don’t buy anything. The service does not add items to a cart, complete a checkout, or purchase on your behalf. It does not automate any part of buying. If our site ever describes something as planned or being explored, that means it does not exist and is not part of what you are agreeing to here.

We aren’t a retailer and we aren’t affiliated with one. Target, Best Buy, Walmart, eBay, The Pokémon Company and Nintendo have no relationship with us and have not endorsed us. Pokémon and Pokémon TCG are trademarks of their owners. Any purchase you make is between you and that retailer, under their terms, and any problem with an order — payment, delivery, condition, returns, cancellation — is between you and them.

We don’t guarantee you’ll get anything. Popular drops involve far more buyers than units. A notification is information, not a reservation.

3. Your subscription

One subscription, one Discord server. A subscription sends alerts to a single destination. You can change which one, but you can’t run more than one destination from a single subscription.

A subscription is for your own use. It exists so you can watch products you’re personally interested in. It isn’t a feed to redistribute — please don’t republish our alerts to a wider audience, relay them into another service, resell them, or use them as the basis of your own alerting product.

We know the second of these is something we can’t observe from the outside. We’re stating it because it’s what the subscription is for, and because it’s the basis on which we’d end one.

If you breach either, we may end your subscription. That’s the consequence. We’re not claiming to monitor how you use your Discord server, and we’re not going to pretend otherwise.

You need to be 13 or older to use the service, matching Discord’s own minimum.

4. Your Discord webhook

You give us a webhook URL. We store it encrypted and use it for one purpose: sending you alerts about products on your watchlist. We never display it back to you or anyone else once it’s stored, and we don’t post anything to it other than your alerts and, if you ask us to, a test message.

Keep it to a channel you control. Anyone who can read that channel can read your alerts.

5. What we don’t promise

We’ll try to make this work well. We aren’t promising that it always will.

• We may miss things. A drop can begin and end between two of our readings, a retailer can change how their site works without telling anyone, our monitoring can be blocked, or our service can be down.
• We may be wrong. We read a product page twice before telling you anything, and that still isn’t a guarantee the item is really there or that the price we read is the price you’ll pay.
• Alerts go out in a queue. Where you sit in it isn’t for sale, and it isn’t something we let anyone pay to change. It also isn’t something we can promise a figure for.
• The service can change or stop. We may add or remove retailers, products, or features, and we may discontinue the service entirely.

To the extent the law allows, the service is provided as it is, and we aren’t liable for what you did or didn’t buy because of an alert we sent, sent late, or never sent.

[Limitation-of-liability and warranty-disclaimer wording is exactly the part that needs a lawyer. This paragraph is a placeholder for its intent, not final language.]

6. Affiliate links

Some links in our alerts are affiliate links. If you buy through one, we may earn a commission from the retailer at no extra cost to you. This never changes which products we watch, what we alert on, or what we tell you about them. We label these links where they appear.

7. Payment

Prices. Basic is $7.99 per month or $87.89 per year. Premium is $14.99 per month or $164.89 per year. The annual price is eleven months’ price for twelve months of service. All prices are in US dollars.

There is no free trial. Your card is charged when you subscribe, and on the same day of each following billing period.

Payment is handled by Stripe. Your card details go to Stripe and never reach us. We store an identifier for your customer record and your subscription, and nothing that resembles a card number.

Cancelling. You can cancel at any time from your account. Your subscription then runs to the end of the period you’ve already paid for, and is not renewed.

Refunds. We don’t refund part of a period. If you cancel in the middle of a month or a year, you keep access until that period ends and we don’t return a portion of what you paid. If you believe you’ve been charged in error, email us and we’ll look at it.

Price changes. If we change what a plan costs, we’ll say so before it applies to you, and you’ll have the chance to cancel before the new price is charged.

Taxes. Prices exclude any sales tax that may apply. Where tax is due it is added at checkout.

8. Your data

We hold the account you create, your watchlist, your encrypted webhook, and a record of alerts we sent you. We use it to run the service.

We don’t sell it. We don’t share it with advertisers.

You can delete your account, and when you do we remove your webhook and the identifiers that link click records back to you. Some records of activity remain in an anonymised form because affiliate commissions have to be reconciled against them.

[A separate privacy policy is likely required depending on where subscribers live — this section summarises, it doesn’t substitute.]

9. Ending it

You can stop any time — delete your account and nothing further is sent.

We can end your access if you breach these terms, if we think the service is being used to harm someone, or if we stop running the service.

10. Changes

If we change these terms we’ll say so on the site before the change takes effect, and the version and date at the top will change. Continuing to use the service after that means you accept the new version.

11. The service is provided as it is

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Stock-It Alerts is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied or statutory. We specifically disclaim any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement.

We do not warrant that the service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or secure; that any alert will be sent, will arrive, or will be accurate; or that any product described in an alert will be available, will be available at the price we read, or will still be available when you act on it.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties, so parts of this section may not apply to you.

12. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Stock-It Alerts and its owner will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, data, goodwill, or business opportunity, arising out of or relating to your use of the service — including any purchase you did or did not make because of an alert we sent, sent late, sent inaccurately, or never sent — whether the claim is based in contract, tort, negligence, strict liability or any other theory, and whether or not we were advised of the possibility of such damages.

Our total liability to you for all claims arising out of or relating to the service is limited to the amount you paid us in the twelve months before the event giving rise to the claim, or one hundred US dollars, whichever is greater.

Some jurisdictions do not allow these limitations, so parts of this section may not apply to you. Nothing here limits liability that cannot be limited by law.

13. Your responsibilities

You agree not to use the service to break the law, to interfere with its operation, to attempt to access parts of it you haven’t been given access to, or to resell or redistribute what it sends you.

You are responsible for anything done through your account and for keeping your Discord destination under your control.

14. General

These terms are the entire agreement between you and Stock-It Alerts about the service, and replace anything said before them.

If any part of these terms is found unenforceable, the rest stays in force.

If we don’t enforce a term, that isn’t a waiver of it.

You may not transfer your rights under these terms to anyone else. We may transfer ours if the service is sold or transferred, and we’ll say so on the site if that happens.
