Hot Yards™ Terms of Service (For People Who Enjoy Fine Print) ⸻ 1. Introduction Welcome to Hot Yards™, your slightly questionable digital companion for finding and promoting yard, garage, estate, and other probably-legal sales. By using our website or mobile app (the “Service”), you agree to these Terms of Service (the “Terms”). If you disagree, that’s fine — you’re free to print flyers and staple them to telephone poles like it’s 1992. ⸻ 2. You, the User By accessing Hot Yards™, you agree to be: • At least 18 years old • Not using the platform to sell illegal fireworks or haunted ventriloquist dolls (again) • Responsible for any content or listings you post ⸻ 3. We’re a Platform, Not a Cash Register Hot Yards™ is not a party to any transaction. We: • Do not sell or resell any items • Do not process or handle payments between users • Do not guarantee the existence, quality, price, or emotional baggage of any item listed If you pay a stranger $20 through the app for a ceramic clown and it turns out to be full of bees, that’s between you and the clown person. ⸻ 4. Boost Subscriptions & Boosted Listings We offer optional paid services (like "Boost" access or boosted visibility). When you pay us: • You get digital perks (no, not a toaster) • You agree that fees are non-refundable, unless your sale got eaten by a tornado (in which case, email us something dramatic) We may change features or pricing at any time. Don’t @ us — but we’ll try to let you know. ⸻ 5. Payment Tools – For Sellers If you're a "Boost" user, we may offer tools that help buyers pay you directly via third-party platforms (e.g., PayPal, Venmo, Stripe, etc.). This does not make us your bank, accountant, or emotional support animal. We: • Do not process, transmit, or guarantee payment • Are not liable if your buyer vanishes after scanning your QR code • Cannot (and will not) issue refunds for any transaction between you and another user ⸻ 6. User-Posted Content If you post a listing, photo, or sale description: • You grant us a non-exclusive license to display and promote it • You swear it’s not stolen, misleading, or covered in raccoon blood • We can remove it for any reason, including if it upsets our legal team or our aesthetic ⸻ 7. Liability Limitation (aka “Don’t Sue Us”) To the fullest extent allowed by law, Hot Yards, LLC is not liable for: • Lost items • Bad deals • Broken yard sale dreams • Your inability to tell a real Furby from a cursed one The platform is provided “as-is,” without warranties, guarantees, or the promise that someone will buy your lava lamp. ⸻ 8. Termination We may suspend or terminate your account for: • Violating these Terms • Posting illegal or disturbing content • Repeatedly listing expired canned goods as “vintage” You can also delete your account any time. But your listings may still haunt the platform for a little while. ⸻ 9. Changes to These Terms We may update these Terms occasionally. We’ll post the new version and maybe email you. Or not. Depends on how annoying it is that day. ⸻ 10. Governing Law These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Florida because that's where we live and where our lawyers feel safe. ⸻ 11. Contact Us Questions? Complaints? Want to confess that you once bought a copy of Shrek 2 at a yard sale and felt spiritually changed? Email: support@hotyards.com Or don’t. That’s your right as a human. ⸻ TL;DR VERSION (UNOFFICIAL): We made a fun app. We don’t handle your money. Don’t sell illegal stuff. Don’t be weird. Actually, be weird — just not lawsuit weird.
