Terms of service

By accessing or using the brick'em website (brickem.io), dashboard (dashboard.brickem.io), mobile application, or any related services (collectively, the "Service" or "Licensed Application"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree to these Terms, you may not use the Service.

brick'em LLC ("brick'em," "we," "us," or "our") reserves the right to update these Terms at any time. We will notify you of material changes by posting the updated Terms on this page and updating the "Last updated" date. Your continued use of the Service after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms.

You must be at least 13 years of age (or 16 in the EU/EEA) to use the Service. If you are under the age of majority in your jurisdiction, you may only use the Service under the supervision of a parent or legal guardian who agrees to be bound by these Terms.

By using the Service, you represent and warrant that: (a) you meet the age requirement above; (b) you have the legal capacity to enter into these Terms; (c) you are not barred from using the Service under the laws of the United States or any other applicable jurisdiction; and (d) all information you provide is accurate and complete. The Service is intended for personal and business use by LEGO sellers and collectors.

brick'em is a tool that helps LEGO collectors and sellers identify minifigures and parts through photo scanning, look up pricing information, manage inventory, and export data to third-party selling platforms. The Service is available via web browser and mobile application.

The Service uses image recognition technology powered by third-party AI services (Google Cloud Vision API and Brickognize) to identify LEGO items from photos. Identification results are AI-generated estimates and may not always be accurate. Pricing data is sourced from our internal database and is provided for reference only. You should independently verify all identification results and pricing before making buying or selling decisions.

• You must provide accurate and complete registration information.
• You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account credentials.
• You are responsible for all activity that occurs under your account.
• You must notify us immediately of any unauthorized use of your account.
• You may not share, sell, or transfer your account to another person.
• We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms.

5.1 Plans and pricing

brick'em offers both free and paid subscription plans. Details of available plans and their features are listed on our pricing page. We reserve the right to change our pricing at any time, with 30 days' notice to existing subscribers.

5.2 Billing

Paid subscriptions are billed on a recurring basis (monthly or annually) through Stripe. By subscribing to a paid plan, you authorize us to charge your payment method on a recurring basis until you cancel. Subscriptions are managed directly through brick'em and Stripe, not through Apple's in-app purchase system.

5.3 Cancellation

You may cancel your subscription at any time through your account settings or the Stripe billing portal. Upon cancellation, you will retain access to paid features until the end of your current billing period. No refunds will be issued for partial billing periods, unless otherwise required by applicable law.

5.4 One-time purchases

Certain offerings (such as one-time deals) are non-refundable after purchase unless otherwise required by applicable law.

5.5 Free tier

Free accounts receive a limited number of scans and features. Additional capabilities require a paid subscription. We reserve the right to modify free tier limits at any time.

You agree that all agreements, notices, disclosures, and other communications we provide electronically satisfy any legal requirement that such communications be in writing.

Transactional communications are a necessary part of the Service and cannot be opted out of while your account is active. You may opt out of optional marketing emails at any time using the unsubscribe link in those messages or by contacting [email protected].
