Terms of use

Last updated November 5, 2026

By using Card Chaser you agree to these terms. They're short and in plain language.

Using the service

You must be at least 13. Keep your sign-in private and don't use the service to break the law, harass people, scrape it, or get around its limits (for example by creating automated accounts). Don't enter made-up purchases or trades or otherwise try to distort the shared prices. We may suspend accounts that do.

No affiliation

Card Chaser is an independent, fan-made tool. It is not affiliated with, endorsed or sponsored by Nintendo, Creatures Inc., GAME FREAK inc. or The Pokémon Company. Pokémon and its names, card images and artwork belong to their respective owners.

Prices, deals and scores are estimates

Market prices come from third-party sources and can be wrong or out of date. A listing's score is a guide to where to look first, not advice or a guarantee. Always check a listing's photos, condition, seller and price before you buy. Purchases happen on other sites, under their rules, and Card Chaser isn't a party to them.

Card Chaser Pro

Pro is an optional subscription, paid monthly or yearly through Stripe. It renews automatically at the price shown when you subscribed until you cancel, and we'll tell you before a price changes. Cancel any time in Settings, under Membership: Pro stays on until the end of the period you paid for. We don't refund part of a period unless the law requires it. What Pro and the free plan include may change, but we won't take away a Pro feature during a period you've paid for. Pro bought on the website also works in the iPhone app.

Shop accounts

A card shop or show dealer may claim a shop on their account (a Shop account). You must have the right to sell the cards you list, and a seller's permit where the law requires one. Your stock, shop name, table and hours are shown to collectors as you give them, so keep them true. Card Chaser matches your in-stock singles to collectors' want lists and links collectors to your own website or checkout: no money moves through Card Chaser, and Card Chaser isn't a party to any sale. A hold is a courtesy between you and a collector, not a contract; answer holds honestly and don't use them to collect anyone's details. We may remove the Verified Shop mark, a hold, or a shop that breaks these terms. The Shop membership is free for founding shops until March 31, 2027, then $29 a month, paid monthly through Stripe and cancelled any time in Settings; it stays on until the end of the period paid for. In-app checkout and fees (version two, 2027) will come with a merchant agreement of their own.

Affiliate links

Card Chaser may earn a small commission when you buy through links to eBay, at no extra cost to you. It never changes the price you pay or which deals we show.

Trading with other people

The public trade page and trade checker help people find each other and compare values. We don't verify anyone's identity or the condition of their cards, and we don't hold cards or money. Trade at your own risk: meet in a public place, inspect cards before you swap, and be careful with anyone who asks you to send something first.

Trade by mail

Trade by mail isn't open yet. These are the terms it will open with.

• Trades are between collectors.When you accept a trade, you and the other person agree to send each other the cards in it. Card Chaser isn't a party to the trade. We don't hold cards or money, inspect cards, or guarantee that anyone ships.
• Cards for cards.No money for cards changes hands through Card Chaser. Don't use trades to sell cards.
• Pro on both sides.Sending, countering and answering offers, and shipping through the app, need Card Chaser Pro.
• Ship tracked, within 7 days.Each side buys its own tracked label in the app, at what it costs us, and ships within 7 days of accepting. A label the carrier has scanned can't be refunded. Describe cards honestly, condition included, and pack them to arrive that way.
• The card on file.The payment card on your Pro membership pays for the labels you buy. We won't charge it for the value of any card, for anyone's losses, or for anything but fees we've told you about.
• When something goes wrong.A package lost in the mail is the carrier's to answer for, so insure valuable ones. If cards arrive wrong or damaged, report the trade within 30 days. We'll look at its record and may suspend trading for someone who doesn't ship or misdescribes cards, but we don't decide who owns what and we don't pay anyone.
• Your collection.If you choose, once you've both marked your cards received, the app moves them in your collection: what you sent comes off, what you got goes on.

Your content and your data

You keep ownership of what you add, such as your public trade page and notes. You give Card Chaser permission to host, display and use it as needed to run the service, for example showing your public trade page to anyone you share the link with.

If you choose to share prices, you also let us use that information, combined with other people's and with identifying details removed, to improve and build the service and to create statistics. We describe what's kept in the Privacy page. We don't sell personal information.

You're responsible for what you put on your public trade page and your highlights, and for having the right to share it. Don't post anything unlawful, misleading or abusive. We may remove content or public trade pages that break these terms.

Highlights you let us share

When you tick "Card Chaser may share it on its social pages" on a highlight, you give Card Chaser a free, non-exclusive, worldwide licence to copy and repost that clip on Card Chaser's social media accounts, crediting you by your handle. We may trim it or add our logo, but won't change what it shows. We don't pay for it, and you keep ownership of it.

• You confirm the clip is yours to share, that everyone who can be seen or heard in it is fine with it, and that you're 18 or older or have a parent's or guardian's permission.
• You can withdraw this anytime, from the highlight or in Settings. From then on we won't post it again, and we'll take down posts of it we control. We can't recall copies other people made on social networks before then.
• We choose what to post and may never post a clip.

Our data

Card Chaser's software, scores, statistics and the way its data is put together belong to us or our licensors. Don't copy, scrape or resell them, or use them to build a competing database. Card names and images belong to their owners and are shown only to identify cards.

The service as it is

Card Chaser is provided as is, without warranties of any kind, and it may change, pause or end at any time. To the fullest extent the law allows, we aren't liable for lost profits, lost cards, failed trades or other indirect damages, and our total liability for any claim is limited to the greater of $100 or what you paid us in the 12 months before it.

Ending your account

You can delete your account in Settings at any time. We may suspend or end accounts that break these terms.

Changes and contact

We may update these terms and will change the date above when we do. Continued use means you accept the update. Questions: catchem@cardchaser.app. These terms are governed by the laws of the State of California.
