4. Acceptable Use & Prohibited Items
You may use the Services only in compliance with these Terms and all applicable laws and marketplace rules. You agree not to:
- Violate laws, including consumer protection, product safety, tax, intellectual property, sanctions, export, or anti‑money‑laundering laws.
- Upload unlawful, fraudulent, misleading, defamatory, or infringing Content.

We may update this list from time to time.
5. Marketplace Role & Listings
- Platform role. Crateed provides tools to create, prepare and manage listing information for use on Crateed and third-party marketplaces. Unless stated otherwise, Crateed is not the seller of record, does not take title to items, and does not guarantee a sale.
- Your responsibilities. You are responsible for the accuracy of Listings (titles, descriptions, pricing, condition), compliance with category and attribute requirements, and fulfillment (shipping, returns, customer service) on each destination marketplace.
- Marketplace policies. Your Listings must comply with the terms and policies of each marketplace you use (e.g., eBay, Vinted, Blocket, Depop, and 157+ others). If you become aware that a listing has been removed, restricted, sold or otherwise changed on a destination marketplace, you are responsible for updating its status in Crateed and on any other marketplace where it appears.
- Payment processors. Payments are handled directly between you and the destination marketplace or their processors. Their terms apply to those transactions.
- Data submission. Crateed provides assisted tools that help you prepare and transfer listing information. You choose what information to copy, review, and submit to each destination marketplace. Crateed does not automatically publish listings to third-party marketplaces through the currently available assisted workflows. See Section 11.
- Cross-listing scope. Crateed may prepare listing content and provide assisted listing tools, but it does not automatically create, publish, modify, or remove listings on third-party marketplaces through the currently available workflows. You remain responsible for reviewing and submitting listing information and for complying with each destination marketplace's requirements.
- P2P trades. Crateed is not a party to trades between users and does not guarantee the authenticity, condition, ownership, delivery, or performance of any traded item. All trades are conducted directly between users at their own risk.
6. Your Content & Licenses
- Ownership. You retain ownership of Content you upload to the Services.
- License to us. You grant Crateed a worldwide, non‑exclusive, royalty‑free license to host, store, reproduce, modify (e.g., for formatting, resizing, transcoding), publicly display, and distribute your Content as necessary to operate, improve, and market the Services (including to marketplaces and end‑buyers).
- Feedback. If you provide ideas or suggestions, you grant us a perpetual, irrevocable license to use them without restriction.
- Removal. We may remove or disable Content that we reasonably believe violates these Terms or law.
- Backups. You are responsible for backing up your Content.
- Public storefronts. You are solely responsible for all content displayed on your public profile, storefront, collections, custom pages, external links, affiliate links, embedded content, and media blocks. Public collections are subject to the same content rules as profiles. Crateed may remove or disable any public content that violates these Terms or applicable law.
7. AI Features & Valuations
- AI outputs. Our AI may generate product recognition, suggested attributes, titles/descriptions, and estimated values. Outputs may be inaccurate or incomplete. You must review and approve before publishing.
- Valuations. Vault valuations are estimates based on available data and do not guarantee resale value or transaction outcomes.
- No financial advice. Market data, price estimates, buy signals, sell signals, trend indicators, price alerts, forecasts, and valuation insights are informational tools only. They do not constitute financial, investment, tax, or professional advice. You rely on them entirely at your own risk.
- Data quality. Market data may be delayed, incomplete, inaccurate, or unavailable. Analytics metrics may differ from third-party platform reporting due to differences in measurement methodologies. Alert delivery is not guaranteed and may be delayed. Third-party market data remains the property of its respective owners and is subject to their terms.
- Vault ownership. You represent that you have lawful possession of items added to the Vault and the legal right to sell, trade, or otherwise distribute items listed through the Services.
- Usage permissions. You authorize us to process your Content with AI models (our own or third‑party) to provide and improve features.
8. Integrations & Third‑Party Terms
- Integrations (e.g., marketplaces, analytics, shipping, messaging) are provided “as available.” Third‑party terms, privacy notices, and fees may apply.
- Crateed is not responsible for third‑party services and does not control their availability or policies.
- Marketplace workflows. You initiate marketplace actions directly using Crateed's assisted listing tools. Third-party terms, privacy notices, availability requirements and fees apply.
- Shipping. Crateed provides tools to compare carrier rates, purchase labels, and track shipments as a convenience. Crateed is not a carrier or shipping provider and is not responsible for carrier performance, delivery delays, lost or damaged shipments, incorrect tracking information, or disputes between you and the carrier. All shipping contracts are between you and the carrier.
- API & webhooks. For Business plan API and webhook access, Crateed may rate-limit, suspend, or revoke access that negatively impacts platform stability, security, or fair use.
- Sponsored content. Certain areas of the Services may contain sponsored content, advertisements, promoted listings, or paid placements. Such content may be displayed based on relevance, user activity, or commercial arrangements. Sponsored content does not constitute endorsement by Crateed.
9. Paid Plans, Subscriptions, Add-ons and Taxes
Crateed offers Free, Plus, Pro and Business plans, together with optional add-ons such as Custom Domain. The features currently included in each plan are described on the Pricing page and in the purchase interface. Features identified as previews, planned features, beta features or "coming soon" are not guaranteed to be available at the time of purchase.
Mobile subscriptions purchased through the Apple App Store or Google Play are processed and billed by the applicable store. Crateed does not receive your complete payment-card details. The price, billing period, currency and applicable taxes are displayed by the store before you confirm the purchase.
Paid subscriptions automatically renew for additional billing periods unless cancelled before the renewal date shown by the applicable store. Apple or Google may notify you of price changes and may require your consent where applicable.
The Free plan includes a limited AI scan allowance. Eligible Free users may obtain additional scans by completing rewarded advertisements, subject to the limits, cooldowns and availability shown in the app.
Plus provides unlimited AI scans and removes rewarded scan advertisements. Sponsored listings, promoted content and general marketplace advertising may remain visible on Free, Plus, Pro and Business plans unless expressly stated otherwise in the purchase interface.
Pro and Business include the features shown as available for those plans. Certain Business services may require separate onboarding, configuration, usage limits or an order form.
Custom Domain is a separate recurring add-on and may need to be cancelled separately from the main subscription. You are responsible for maintaining ownership of your domain and correctly configuring any required DNS records.
10. Cancellation, Expiration, Refunds and Withdrawal Rights
You may manage or cancel a mobile subscription through the Apple App Store or Google Play account used to purchase it. Uninstalling the app or deleting your Crateed account does not automatically cancel a subscription billed by Apple or Google.
Unless the applicable store states otherwise, cancellation stops future renewals and paid access continues until the end of the current billing period. When the subscription expires, your account will return to the applicable lower plan and paid features may become unavailable.
You may restore eligible purchases using the restore-purchase functionality provided in the app. Access to paid features is subject to successful verification of the purchase and subscription status.
Refund requests for purchases processed by Apple or Google are handled under the applicable store's refund procedures and applicable law. Nothing in these Terms limits any mandatory refund, conformity, withdrawal or other consumer right that cannot legally be excluded.
If you are an EEA or UK consumer, you may have a 14-day statutory right to withdraw from a new contract. Where you expressly request that a service begins during the withdrawal period, you may be required to pay a proportionate amount for services supplied before withdrawal. Where legally applicable to digital content supplied immediately, loss of the withdrawal right will occur only after the required express consent and acknowledgment have been obtained. See Section 22.
11. Data Protection & Privacy
- Your use of the Services is subject to our Privacy Policy.
- Where you act as a controller and Crateed processes personal data on your behalf (e.g., buyer details for orders), a data processing addendum (DPA) may apply upon request.
- You must have a lawful basis to upload personal data to the Services and to instruct us to process it.
12. Security & AML/KYC
- We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards. However, no method is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
- We may, directly or via partners, perform identity verification (KYC) and monitor transactions for anti‑money‑laundering (AML) and fraud prevention. If you fail verification or we suspect unlawful activity, we may limit or suspend your access.
13. Intellectual Property; Takedowns
- The Services and all related IP (excluding your Content) are owned by Crateed or its licensors.
- If you believe Content infringes your rights, you may submit a notice to ip@crateed.com with sufficient detail to locate the material and proof of rights. We may remove or disable access where appropriate and notify the uploader.
- We may terminate repeat infringers’ accounts.
- Market data. Market data, valuation models, pricing signals, analytics, rankings, trend indicators, and derived datasets generated by Crateed remain the intellectual property of Crateed and its licensors. You may not scrape, redistribute, or commercialise this data without our written consent. Third-party market data (e.g., eBay, Tradera) remains the property of its respective owners and is subject to their terms.
14. Sanctions & Export Controls
You represent that you are not located in, under the control of, or a resident or national of any country or person subject to embargoes or sanctions, and you will not use the Services for restricted end‑uses.
15. Warranties
To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Services are provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non‑infringement, and uninterrupted or error‑free operation.
16. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Crateed will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits, revenues, data, goodwill, or business interruption. Our aggregate liability for all claims relating to the Services will not exceed the greater of (a) the amounts paid by you to Crateed for the Services in the 12 months preceding the event giving rise to liability, or (b) 100 USD.
Nothing in these Terms excludes liability that cannot be excluded by law (e.g., for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraud).
17. Indemnification
You will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Crateed and its affiliates from and against any claims, losses, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from or relating to your Content, your Listings, your breach of these Terms, or your violation of law.
18. Suspension & Termination
- We may suspend or terminate your access immediately for material breach, legal risk, or harm to others.
- We may reclaim or reassign usernames and public profile URLs associated with accounts that have been inactive for an extended period, or following account deletion.
- Upon termination, your license to use the Services ends. Some provisions survive termination (e.g., payment obligations, IP, indemnities, disclaimers, and limitations of liability).
19. Changes to the Services or Terms
- We may modify the Services (including adding or removing features). For material changes to these Terms, we will provide notice (e.g., by email or in‑product message). Continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance.
20. Governing Law & Disputes
These Terms are governed by the laws of Sweden, without regard to conflict‑of‑laws principles. The courts of Stockholm, Sweden will have exclusive jurisdiction, except that consumers may bring claims in their country of residence where required by law.
21. Miscellaneous
- Communications. You consent to receive service notices electronically.
- Assignment. You may not assign these Terms without our consent. We may assign to an affiliate or in connection with a merger, acquisition, or asset sale.
- Entire agreement. These Terms, the Privacy Policy, and any order forms/DPA constitute the entire agreement.
- Severability. If any provision is unenforceable, the remainder remains in effect.
- No waiver. Failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver.
- Language. If these Terms are translated, the English version controls in case of conflict.
22. Regional Terms (EEA/UK/CH)
- Consumer rights. If you are a consumer, you have statutory rights that cannot be excluded. Nothing in these Terms affects those rights.
- Right of withdrawal (EEA/UK). You may withdraw from a new subscription within 14 days of purchase. Where you expressly request that a service begins during the withdrawal period, you may be required to pay a proportionate amount for services supplied before withdrawal. Where legally applicable to digital content supplied immediately, loss of the withdrawal right will occur only after the required express consent and acknowledgment have been obtained. If applicable, refunds will be provided in accordance with law.
