Last Updated: July 1, 2026
1. INTRODUCTION
These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the Shirt Nerds mobile application, our companion website at shirtnerds.io, and related services (together, the "App"). By downloading, installing, creating an account, or using the App, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the App.
2. IMPORTANT NON-AFFILIATION NOTICE
Shirt Nerds is an independent, fan-made collection and trading companion tool. It is not owned, operated, sponsored, authorized, or endorsed by RSVLTS, its parent or affiliated companies, or by any other brand, manufacturer, or licensor whose products may be referenced in the App. Any references to RSVLTS or to other brands, licensed properties, characters, or products are used for descriptive and identification purposes only and do not imply any affiliation, sponsorship, approval, or endorsement. All brand names, logos, product names, designs, and related intellectual property are the property of their respective owners.
3. ELIGIBILITY AND ACCOUNTS
- You must be at least 13 years old to use the App. If you are at least 13 but under the age of majority in your jurisdiction (typically 18), you may use the App only with the involvement and permission of a parent or legal guardian. The App is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly permit anyone under 13 to create an account or use the App. If we learn we have collected information from a child under 13, we will delete it. (See also the Children's Privacy section of our Privacy Policy.)
- You agree to provide accurate, current information and to keep it updated.
- You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials and for all activity under your account. Notify us promptly of any unauthorized use.
- One account per person. You may not impersonate any person or entity, and you may not choose a username that impersonates Shirt Nerds, its team, or any brand, or that is offensive or misleading. We may reject or reclaim usernames at our discretion.
4. LICENSE TO USE THE APP
We grant you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the App for your own lawful, personal, non-commercial use. You may not copy, modify, create derivative works from, sell, rent, sublicense, reverse engineer, or interfere with the App, except where such restrictions are prohibited by law. We reserve all rights not expressly granted.
5. NO TRANSACTION FACILITATION; DEALINGS BETWEEN USERS; ASSUMPTION OF RISK
This is important. Please read it carefully.
Shirt Nerds is a coordination and information tool only. We do not buy, sell, trade, broker, process payments, hold funds, provide escrow, ship items, verify users or items, appraise value, or otherwise participate in or facilitate any transaction between users.
- Any buying, selling, or trading you arrange is solely between you and the other user, off-platform. You deal directly with each other, including any communication and any payment (for example, through third-party payment services you choose).
- You are solely responsible for your own dealings, including vetting the other party, verifying items and condition, agreeing on terms, and sending or receiving money or items. Do your own due diligence before sending money or items to anyone.
- We are not responsible or liable for any user's conduct or any transaction, including non-delivery, misrepresentation, counterfeit or damaged items, fraud, scams, theft, chargebacks, payment disputes, or any resulting loss. Any dispute arising from a transaction is between the users involved.
- Prices, conditions, "sold" information, and other details that users enter are self-reported and not verified by us. They are provided for general informational purposes only, "as is," and you should not rely on them as accurate, complete, or as an appraisal or guarantee of value.
6. USER CONTENT
The App lets you submit content such as item photos, profile photos, notes, set and list names, listings, and (in the future) posts, messages, and ratings ("User Content").
- You retain ownership of your User Content. You grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, store, reproduce, display, adapt (for example, resizing or formatting), and distribute your User Content for the purposes of operating, providing, and improving the App — including showing it to other users where you choose to make it visible, using submitted photos as representative catalog images where appropriate, and developing and improving App features such as collection organization and item-identification ("scan") functionality. This license ends when you delete the content or your account, except for copies retained in routine backups, already incorporated into App features, or as required by law.
- You represent and warrant that you created the User Content yourself, or otherwise own or have obtained all rights, consents, and permissions needed to submit it and to grant the license above, and that it does not infringe anyone's rights or violate any law. Do not upload photos you did not take or do not have permission to use — for example, images copied from a brand's website or from another person's post.
- You are responsible for your User Content. We may remove, disable, or restrict any content we believe violates these Terms or is unlawful, infringing, or objectionable, at our discretion.
7. ACCEPTABLE USE
You agree not to:
- Harass, threaten, stalk, defame, or impersonate any person or entity.
- Upload or share content that is unlawful, infringing, deceptive, obscene, or otherwise objectionable.
- Engage in fraud, scams, or deceptive listings, or attempt to defraud other users.
- Offer or solicit anything illegal, counterfeit, or that you do not have the right to sell or trade.
- Spam, send unsolicited promotions, or post unauthorized advertising.
- Scrape, harvest, or extract data from the App or its users by automated means, or create fake or automated accounts.
- Reverse engineer, interfere with, disrupt, or attempt unauthorized access to the App or its systems.
We may investigate suspected violations and take appropriate action, including removing content, suspending or terminating accounts, and reporting conduct to authorities.
8. COMMUNITY FEATURES AND USER INTERACTIONS
As community features (such as messaging, posts, listings, and ratings) become available, you understand that you interact with other users at your own risk. Before engaging privately with another user, you may be asked to acknowledge a safety notice reminding you to use caution and do your own due diligence. We may provide tools to report or block other users and to flag content, and we may, but are not obligated to, review, moderate, or remove content or accounts. We are not responsible for the conduct of any user.
9. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
- The App itself — including its software, design, interface, original text, graphics, and the Shirt Nerds name and logo — is owned by us or our licensors and protected by law.
- Brand names, logos, product designs, characters, and other materials relating to RSVLTS or any other referenced brand are the property of their respective owners and are used in the App only to help users identify and organize their collections. We claim no ownership of them.
- If you believe content in the App infringes your intellectual property rights, contact us at the email below so we can address it (including any applicable takedown process).
10. SUSPENSION AND TERMINATION
We may suspend, restrict, or terminate your account or access to the App at any time if we believe you have violated these Terms or applicable law, or to protect the App or its users. You may stop using the App and delete your account at any time. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (including Sections 5, 6, 9, 11, 12, 13, and 16) will survive.
11. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES
THE APP IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ACCURACY. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE APP WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR SECURE, OR THAT ANY INFORMATION (INCLUDING USER-REPORTED PRICES, CONDITIONS, OR VALUES) IS ACCURATE OR RELIABLE. YOU USE THE APP AT YOUR OWN RISK. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain disclaimers, so some may not apply to you.
12. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE AND OUR OWNERS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AND CONTRACTORS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, GOODWILL, OR — FOR THE AVOIDANCE OF DOUBT — ANY LOSS ARISING FROM A TRANSACTION OR DEALING BETWEEN USERS. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS RELATING TO THE APP WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US (IF ANY) IN THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM OR ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS ($100). Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so some may not apply to you.
13. INDEMNIFICATION
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Adaptive Apps, LLC and its owners, officers, employees, and contractors from claims, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of your use of the App, your User Content, your dealings with other users, or your violation of these Terms or any law or third-party right.
14. THIRD-PARTY SERVICES
The App may link to or rely on third-party services (for example, payment apps you use with other users, or hosting and support providers). We do not control and are not responsible for third-party services, and your use of them is subject to their own terms and policies.
15. CHANGES TO THE APP AND THESE TERMS
We may modify or discontinue the App, in whole or in part, at any time. We may also update these Terms; when changes are material, we will update the "Last Updated" date and may provide additional notice. Your continued use after changes take effect means you accept the updated Terms.
16. GOVERNING LAW AND DISPUTE RESOLUTION
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to conflict-of-law rules.
16.1 Informal Resolution First. Before starting an arbitration or any legal proceeding, you agree to first contact us at support@shirtnerds.io and describe your dispute so we can try to resolve it informally. You and we agree to make a good-faith effort to resolve the dispute for at least sixty (60) days after notice. Many disputes can be resolved this way.
16.2 Binding Individual Arbitration. If we cannot resolve the dispute informally, you and we agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the App (including their existence, breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation, or validity) will be resolved exclusively by final and binding individual arbitration, rather than in court, except as provided in Section 16.4. This includes disputes that arose before you accepted these Terms. You and we are each giving up the right to a trial by jury and the right to have disputes decided by a judge.
16.3 Arbitration Procedure. The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules then in effect, as modified by these Terms. The AAA's rules are available at www.adr.org. The arbitration will be conducted by a single arbitrator. Unless you and we agree otherwise, any in-person arbitration hearing will take place in Osceola County, Florida, though the arbitrator may allow proceedings to be conducted by phone, video, or written submissions. The arbitrator's decision will be final and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. The arbitrator, and not any court, has exclusive authority to resolve any dispute about the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of this arbitration agreement, except that a court may decide whether the Class Action Waiver in Section 16.5 is enforceable.
16.4 Exceptions. Notwithstanding the above, either party may (a) bring an individual claim in a small-claims court if it qualifies and remains in that court, and (b) seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to protect its intellectual property or to stop unauthorized access to or misuse of the App. Any claim not subject to arbitration will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Osceola County, Florida, and you and we consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts.
16.5 Class Action Waiver. You and we agree that each may bring claims against the other only in an individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, collective, consolidated, or representative proceeding. The arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims and may not preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. The arbitrator may award relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to resolve that party's individual claim. If this Class Action Waiver is found unenforceable as to a particular claim, that claim (and only that claim) will be severed and brought in court, while all other claims remain in arbitration.
16.6 Opt-Out. You may opt out of this arbitration agreement (Sections 16.2–16.5) within thirty (30) days of first accepting these Terms by sending written notice to support@shirtnerds.io with your username and a clear statement that you wish to opt out of arbitration. Opting out will not affect any other part of these Terms. If you opt out, or if the arbitration agreement is found not to apply, the disputes covered by it will be resolved exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Osceola County, Florida.
16.7 Severability. If any part of this Section 16 (other than the Class Action Waiver, which is governed by its own terms above) is found invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Section will remain in effect.
17. SEVERABILITY AND ENTIRE AGREEMENT
If any provision is found unenforceable, it will be enforced to the maximum extent permitted and the rest will remain in effect. These Terms and our Privacy Policy are the entire agreement between you and us regarding the App and supersede prior agreements on the subject.
