Terms of Service and Acceptable Use Policy

1. Agreement and the contracting party

This proposed initial Terms of Service and Acceptable Use Policy (the “Terms”) governs your access to and use of the RummageRail website, seller-inventory beta, applications, modules, APIs, uploads, integrations, and related features (together, the “Service”). Taylor James Richey is currently doing business as RummageRail. “RummageRail,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to Taylor James Richey doing business as RummageRail.

By creating an account, you must affirmatively accept the exact Terms version shown at signup. Before you use the private Service, you must also affirmatively accept the version then in effect. If you do not agree, do not create an account or use the private Service. The public policy page remains available without an account.

This is a proposed initial policy for a beta service, not legal advice and not a substitute for review by qualified legal counsel. The operative terms below are complete for the current service; the counsel-review items at the end identify facts and legal choices that still need review.

2. The Service and beta scope

RummageRail is a seller-inventory beta. Depending on what is enabled in your account, the Service can provide product profiles; seller-entered item and batch acquisition costs; seller-managed inventory and availability; seller-entered sales, expenses, and receipt records; a Command Center; channel listing preparation; and certain actions for a connected Shopify store.

Shopify actions are limited to the controls currently available for a seller’s connected store, such as preparing product details, explicitly creating or updating a Shopify product, checking supported product or inventory state, applying supported inventory values, and starting an order import. Availability depends on the current implementation, your connection, permissions granted by Shopify, and Shopify’s own systems. RummageRail does not publish every listing automatically. eBay manual listing-draft preparation and report cards are planned and are not currently available.

The Service is not a marketplace, does not buy or verify inventory, does not certify a product’s condition, ownership, provenance, safety, legality, or tax treatment, and is not a party to a sale between you and another person. Features may be incomplete, changed, limited, or unavailable during beta.

3. Eligibility, authority, and account information

You may use the Service only if you are legally able to enter into a binding agreement under the law that applies to you. If you use the Service for a business or another person, you represent that you have authority to bind that business or person to these Terms, and “you” includes that business or person.

You must provide accurate, current account information and keep it reasonably up to date. Do not impersonate another person, misstate your identity or authority, or create accounts to evade a restriction. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your credentials, using reasonable account-security practices, and promptly telling us if you believe your account has been accessed without authorization.

You are responsible for activity under your account, including activity by anyone you authorize to use it. You must ensure that each authorized user follows these Terms and has any authority or rights needed for their actions.

4. Seller responsibilities and external transactions

You are responsible for complying with laws and requirements that apply to your business, products, listings, sales, purchases, records, locations, and customers. This includes obtaining any seller permits or other authorizations that apply, calculating, collecting, reporting, and paying taxes when required, and keeping the records you need for your own business.

You are responsible for the products and records you enter, including their ownership, provenance, description, condition, safety, price, availability, acquisition cost, expenses, receipts, and sale details. You must independently review every listing, product detail, inventory change, order, and transaction before taking action in RummageRail or an external platform.

You remain responsible for your content, sales, external accounts, credentials, integrations, shipping, returns, customer communications, payments, disputes, and transactions with other people or platforms. RummageRail does not act as a broker, seller, buyer, escrow provider, payment processor, tax adviser, or legal adviser for those transactions.

5. Acceptable use and categorical prohibitions

These rules apply to the website, app, modules, APIs, integrations, listings, uploads, messages, records, and any text, image, or other content created, stored, transmitted, or used through the Service. You must not use the Service, or permit another person to use it, to list, sell, offer, advertise, promote, support, upload, transmit, store, or otherwise facilitate any of the following:

• Drugs or drug-related goods, services, instructions, or activity.
• Adult products, pornography, or inappropriate imagery of any kind.
• Weapons or explosives of any kind.
• Products, flags, symbols, or content associated with, supporting, or created by Nazi or other hate groups or gangs of any kind.
• Flags or products associated with, supporting, or created by any federally or state-designated foreign terrorist organization (FTO).
• Products or transactions involving sanctioned parties.
• Dark-web activity; tobacco; hacking, phishing, or ransomware tools; or fraud.
• Poisonous plants; endangered species or protected wildlife; animal venoms; poisonous fish or snakes; or other dangerous or unlawfully traded flora or fauna.

6. Other prohibited use

A historical, educational, collector, parody, artistic, research, or claimed lawful-use framing does not create an exception to the categorical prohibitions in Section 5. Relabeling, describing, categorizing, or presenting a prohibited item differently does not make it permitted.

You must not use the Service for conduct that is unlawful, deceptive, fraudulent, stolen, counterfeit, rights-infringing, privacy-invasive, threatening, abusive, or intended to evade access controls or another person’s security. You must not interfere with, probe, damage, overload, reverse engineer to bypass restrictions on, or gain unauthorized access to the Service or any account, system, API, integration, or data. You must not use the Service to violate another person’s rights or to facilitate conduct prohibited by these Terms.

You must not misuse an external platform, evade its fees or controls, scrape it without authorization, or use an integration in a way the platform does not permit. You are responsible for reviewing the external platform’s terms, permissions, and current requirements before connecting or acting through it.

7. Reports, review, and enforcement discretion

If an item’s association, legality, provenance, or category is uncertain, RummageRail prioritizes its reputation, progress, safety, and commitment to decency over a sale. We may decline or remove an item or content, restrict access to a feature or account, or suspend or terminate an account while we review information, even before a legal violation is proven.

You may report suspected prohibited content, rights violations, or abuse, and request review of a removal, restriction, or termination, by emailing rummagerail@polsia.app. We may review information we receive and decide whether to take an action reserved by these Terms. We do not promise active monitoring, automated or sanctions screening, an in-app reporting queue, a response deadline, an appeal outcome, or automatic detection of prohibited material.

8. Your content and limited service license

“User Content” means information, text, images, documents, receipts, product records, listings, messages, and other material that you or your authorized users submit, upload, connect, or make available through the Service. As between you and RummageRail, you or the applicable rights holder retain ownership of User Content. You represent that you have the rights, permissions, and authority needed to provide it and to grant the limited license in this section.

You grant RummageRail a nonexclusive, limited license to host, store, reproduce, transmit, display, and process User Content only as needed to provide, maintain, and secure the Service and to carry out integrations or other actions that you request. This license does not transfer ownership, authorize unrelated advertising or model training, or give RummageRail rights to User Content beyond those purposes.

To the extent legally owned or controlled by Taylor James Richey doing business as RummageRail, RummageRail’s own software, interface, text, branding, and service materials remain with their respective rights holders. The Service may also include material or services belonging to third parties, Polsia, or integration partners. Their names, software, content, marks, and other materials remain the property of their actual owners; these Terms do not claim ownership of, or grant a license in, those materials beyond rights RummageRail actually holds and makes available to you.

9. Data, security, and third-party boundaries

To provide and operate the Service, RummageRail may handle account information; seller-entered product, batch, inventory, sale, expense, and receipt records; uploads; support requests; integration credentials or tokens; and operational or analytics information as configured. We use this information to provide, operate, support, and secure the Service and to meet legal duties that apply to us.

Information may be processed by cloud, storage, email, analytics, authentication, and integration providers that help run the Service or carry out an action you request. Those providers and external platforms operate under their own terms and practices. RummageRail does not control an external provider’s service, security, availability, or handling of information after that provider receives it.

You are responsible for reviewing external actions before they are applied, protecting your integration credentials, and keeping your own copies of records you need. No system or transmission can be guaranteed secure or error-free. These Terms do not promise a particular retention, deletion, export, backup-purge, data-processing, or transfer period, or create a data-processing agreement or subprocessor list.

10. Legal process and disclosures

RummageRail may respond to a valid subpoena, court order, or other lawful government or law-enforcement demand. We will disclose only information legally required by the demand and provide notice only when legally permitted. The process, scope of disclosure, and any notice obligations may depend on the demand and the law that applies.

11. Service changes, availability, and beta limitations

RummageRail may modify or update, remove or delete, suspend, or discontinue the Service or any feature, module, integration, or listing. We may change functionality, prices, product limits, and listing limits, or suspend or terminate access for policy, security, legal, or operational reasons. A change may affect whether a feature or record is available or how it works.

The Service is provided in beta and may change, contain errors, be interrupted, or depend on third-party availability. We do not promise uninterrupted access, error-free operation, data accuracy, product condition or provenance, that a listing will be accepted or published, or that an external platform will remain available or accept an action.

We may publish an updated Terms version. If a new version is in effect, you must affirmatively accept that version before further private app use. The current version and its dates appear on the public policy page. We do not promise a fixed advance-notice period.

12. Trial, pricing, and payment

The current public offer includes a live 7-day free trial. Testing requires affirmative acceptance of the current Terms version. A credit card and payment obligation are not required to test. Paid pricing is coming soon, and no date has been announced. Checkout and billing are not connected, RummageRail is not currently collecting payment, and no charge begins automatically when the trial ends.

If billing is enabled later, before any charge we will present the applicable amount, currency, billing cadence, item or other limits, taxes, and payment and cancellation terms, and obtain any consent required for that charge. A future billing feature will not be governed by an undisclosed automatic conversion of this current trial.

13. Suspension, termination, and effect

You may stop using the Service at any time. RummageRail may suspend or terminate your access, remove or disable content, or discontinue all or part of the Service for the reasons described in these Terms. We may also take temporary steps while reviewing suspected prohibited use or a security, legal, or operational concern.

When access ends, you must stop using the Service and any access credentials or integration permissions that are no longer authorized. Termination does not transfer ownership of User Content or third-party materials. Sections that by their nature should continue— including user responsibilities, content rights, payment amounts already validly due, disclaimers, liability limits, indemnity, disputes, and general terms—continue to the extent applicable. These Terms do not promise a particular post-termination access, export, deletion, or retention period.

14. Warranty disclaimer

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the Service is provided “as is” and “as available,” without express, implied, or statutory warranties. RummageRail disclaims warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, noninfringement, availability, accuracy, and that the Service will meet your requirements or operate without interruption, error, or loss.

RummageRail does not warrant the accuracy or completeness of seller-entered or third-party information, the condition, provenance, ownership, safety, or legality of any item, the accuracy of a tax or financial calculation, a listing’s acceptance or publication, or an external platform’s performance. You must independently verify information and review each external action. Nothing in these Terms excludes a warranty or right that applicable law does not allow to be excluded.

15. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, RummageRail and its service providers will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages; lost profits, revenue, goodwill, business opportunity, or anticipated savings; or loss, corruption, or restoration of data, arising out of or related to the Service or these Terms, even if advised that such damages were possible.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the total aggregate liability of Taylor James Richey doing business as RummageRail and its service providers for claims arising out of or relating to the Service or these Terms will not exceed the greater of (a) USD $100 or (b) the amounts you paid to RummageRail for the Service during the 12 months before the event giving rise to the claim. Because RummageRail is not currently collecting payment, the USD $100 amount is the present minimum under this proposed formula.

These limits do not apply to liability or rights that cannot lawfully be limited or excluded, or to RummageRail’s own unlawful conduct to the extent a limitation is not permitted. Nothing in these Terms waives a nonwaivable consumer or other legal right. The cap and exclusions are proposed terms whose enforceability depends on applicable law and requires counsel review.

16. Your indemnity

To the extent permitted by law, you will defend and indemnify Taylor James Richey doing business as RummageRail and its service providers against third-party claims, demands, proceedings, damages, liabilities, and reasonable costs (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your User Content; your products, listings, sales, or transactions; your unlawful use of the Service; your breach of these Terms; or your violation of another person’s rights.

We will give you reasonably prompt notice of a covered claim when legally permitted. You may control the defense and settlement, but may not settle a claim in a way that admits fault by, imposes an obligation on, or restricts a right of an indemnified person without that person’s prior written consent. You will provide reasonable cooperation at your expense. An indemnified person may participate with counsel of its choice at its own expense. A delay in notice reduces your obligations only to the extent you are materially prejudiced by the delay. This indemnity does not apply to the extent a claim results from RummageRail’s own unlawful conduct or other liability that applicable law does not permit you to indemnify.

17. Disputes and governing law

If a dispute arises, you may contact RummageRail using the contact details in Section 18 to explain the issue. Disputes that are not resolved informally will proceed under otherwise applicable law before a court with jurisdiction. These Terms do not select a state or country’s governing law, choose a physical court or venue, require arbitration, or waive class or representative procedures. Nonwaivable rights and remedies remain available.

18. Reports and legal notices

Send reports of suspected prohibited content, rights violations, or abuse; requests for review of a removal, restriction, or termination; and legal or contract notices to rummagerail@polsia.app. Email is the contact path supplied for this proposed policy. No physical mailing address is stated here.

19. General terms

These Terms, together with any terms expressly presented for a feature you choose to use, are the entire agreement between you and RummageRail about the Service and replace prior agreements on that subject. If a provision is unenforceable, it will be limited to the minimum extent needed and the remaining provisions will continue. A failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of the right to enforce it later.

You may not transfer these Terms or your account without our prior written consent. RummageRail may transfer its rights and obligations as part of a business or service change to the extent permitted by law. These Terms do not create a partnership, agency, employment, fiduciary, or joint-venture relationship. Headings are for convenience and do not change the meaning of a provision.
