Terms of Service

Last updated: 23 May 2026

1. Agreement

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your use of the GridCollector mobile application and website (together, the “Service”), operated by Acacia Labs Ltd, a company registered in England and Wales (“we”, “us”, “our”).

By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

2. The Service

GridCollector is a collection-tracking tool for Formula 1 trading card collectors. The Service allows you to browse a catalogue of cards, log cards you own, track collection progress, create digital binders, and share your collection.

We may update, modify, or discontinue features of the Service at any time. We will make reasonable efforts to notify you of significant changes.

3. Accounts

You must create an account to use the Service. You are responsible for keeping your login credentials secure. You must not share your account or let anyone else access it.

You must be at least 13 years old to create an account. By creating an account, you confirm that you meet this age requirement.

You may delete your account at any time from the Profile screen in the app. When you do, all of your personal data will be removed in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

4. Your content

You retain ownership of any content you submit to the Service, including card photos, notes, and binder layouts (“Your Content”).

By submitting Your Content, you grant us a limited licence to store, display, and process it as necessary to provide the Service to you. If you opt in to sharing card photos with the community catalogue, you grant us an additional licence to display those photos to other users, subject to our manual review process. You can change this preference at any time to stop new photos being shared. The lifecycle of community photos that have already been verified and published is described in our Privacy Policy.

You represent and warrant that you own or have the necessary rights to upload and share Your Content, and that Your Content does not infringe the rights of any third party. You must not upload content that is illegal, infringes intellectual property rights, or contains malicious code.

We may remove content that we reasonably believe infringes intellectual property rights, violates these Terms, or is otherwise inappropriate for the Service.

5. Catalogue data

The card catalogue (card names, set information, parallel details) is provided for informational and collection-tracking purposes. We make reasonable efforts to keep it accurate and up to date, but we do not guarantee completeness or accuracy.

Card names, team names, driver names, and related trademarks belong to their respective owners. All trademarks, logos, and brand names used in the catalogue are the property of their respective owners. GridCollector is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Formula 1, Topps, or any card manufacturer.

6. No valuation, authentication, or investment advice

GridCollector does not provide card valuation, authentication, grading, investment advice, or guarantees regarding rarity, print runs, market value, or authenticity. Any catalogue information is provided for general informational and collection-tracking purposes only.

You should not rely on information from the Service when making purchasing, selling, trading, or investment decisions. We are not responsible for any losses you incur from acting on information found in the catalogue or elsewhere in the Service.

7. User interactions and trades

GridCollector is a collection-tracking tool. We are not a marketplace, broker, auctioneer, payment intermediary, escrow service, or trading platform.

Any transactions, trades, communications, or arrangements between users — whether arising from binders, wanted lists, or any other social use of the Service — are solely between those users. We are not responsible for disputes, losses, fraud, or misconduct arising from them, and we have no obligation to mediate.

8. Reporting copyright or trademark infringement

If you believe content on the Service infringes your copyright or other intellectual property rights, you can notify us so we can review and, where appropriate, remove it.

Send a notice to hello@gridcollector.app (please use the subject line “IP Notice” so we can triage it quickly) including:

  • Your name, address, and contact details.
  • A description of the work you believe has been infringed.
  • A description of the material on the Service you claim is infringing, and where it can be found (e.g. the card or community photo URL).
  • A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use of the material is not authorised by the rights-holder, its agent, or the law.
  • A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notice is accurate and that you are authorised to act on behalf of the rights-holder.
  • Your physical or electronic signature.

We will review valid notices promptly and may remove or restrict access to the material in question. We may share the notice (including your contact details) with the user who uploaded the content, who may submit a counter-notice. We may suspend or terminate accounts of users who repeatedly infringe.

These provisions mirror the United States Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) safe-harbor framework where applicable and the United Kingdom's notice-and-takedown principles under the Electronic Commerce (EC Directive) Regulations 2002 (as retained in UK law).

9. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

  • Use the Service for any unlawful purpose or in violation of these Terms.
  • Attempt to access other users' accounts or data.
  • Reverse-engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract the source code of the Service.
  • Use automated scripts, bots, or scrapers to access the Service.
  • Interfere with or disrupt the Service or its infrastructure.
  • Upload content that is abusive, hateful, harassing, discriminatory, or deliberately misleading.
  • Impersonate any other person or misrepresent your affiliation with any person or organisation.
  • Use the Service to send spam, phishing attempts, or to promote scams or fraudulent schemes.
  • Offer for sale or otherwise distribute counterfeit cards, or post listings or descriptions that you know to be false or misleading.
  • Engage in any activity that is illegal under the laws of your jurisdiction or the United Kingdom.

10. Feedback you provide

If you send us suggestions, feedback, feature requests, or other ideas about the Service, you grant us a worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free licence to use and incorporate them into the Service or any future product without compensation or attribution. You are not required to send us feedback, but if you do, you confirm that you have the rights to share it and waive any claim to credit or payment for ideas we adopt.

11. Subscriptions and payments

The Service is currently provided free of charge. We may introduce paid subscription tiers in future releases; if and when we do, payment will be handled through the Apple App Store or Google Play Store, whose terms apply to all purchases (including refunds, cancellations, and renewals).

Any subscription introduced in the future would renew automatically unless cancelled before the end of the current billing period, and would be manageable through your device's app store settings.

12. Availability and changes

We aim to keep the Service available at all times, but we do not guarantee uninterrupted access. The Service may be temporarily unavailable due to maintenance, updates, or circumstances beyond our control.

Certain features may be experimental, incomplete, or subject to change. We may modify or remove features at any time as the Service evolves. We do not guarantee that any specific feature will remain available, or that the Service itself will continue indefinitely.

13. Data loss and backups

You are responsible for maintaining your own backups of important information. We do not guarantee that Your Content or collection data will never be lost, corrupted, or unavailable.

We may delete inactive accounts or associated data after extended periods of inactivity, subject to our Privacy Policy.

14. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Service is provided “as is” without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied. We do not warrant that the Service will be error-free, secure, or available at all times.

We shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages arising from your use of the Service, including loss of data, loss of goodwill, loss of collection information, missed opportunities, or financial losses arising from reliance on catalogue information. Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits our liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud, or any other liability that cannot be excluded under English law.

15. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Acacia Labs Ltd, its directors, officers, employees, and agents from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) to the extent caused by:

  • Your breach of these Terms or any applicable law;
  • Your Content, including any claim that Your Content infringes a third party's rights;
  • Your use of the Service in a way not authorised by these Terms.

This indemnity does not apply to claims arising from our own gross negligence or wilful misconduct, or to any liability that cannot be limited or excluded under English law.

16. Termination and moderation

We reserve the right to remove content, restrict features, suspend accounts, or terminate access at our discretion where reasonably necessary to protect the Service, comply with legal obligations, prevent abuse, or protect other users.

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service if you breach these Terms. We will make reasonable efforts to notify you and explain the reason, except where prohibited by law or where immediate action is necessary to protect the Service or other users.

You may stop using the Service and delete your account at any time.

17. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top of this page tells you when they were last changed. If we make significant changes, we will notify you through the app. Continued use of the Service after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.

18. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. Any disputes will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales, without prejudice to any mandatory consumer protection laws that may apply in your jurisdiction.

19. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect. The invalid provision will be replaced, to the extent possible, with a valid provision that most closely reflects the original intent.

20. Entire agreement

These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and Acacia Labs Ltd regarding the Service. They supersede any prior agreements, communications, or understandings between us with respect to the subject matter. No waiver of any term shall be deemed a waiver of any other term or a continuing waiver of that term.
