YardShopper is a listing and discovery platform that allows users to post and browse yard sales, garage sales, estate sales, and similar events.

YardShopper:

• Does not host, manage, supervise, or attend sales

All interactions and transactions occur solely between users, and use of the Service is at your own risk.

To use the Service, you must:

• Be at least 18 years old
• Have the legal capacity to enter into these Terms
• Provide accurate and complete account information

We may suspend or terminate accounts that do not meet these requirements.

• All activity that occurs under your account

You agree to notify us immediately of any unauthorized access or use.

You may request deletion of your account by contacting us at yardshopperapp@gmail.com.

Certain information may be retained as required by law or for legitimate business purposes, as described in our Privacy Policy.

5. Listings, Credits, and Payments

Listing Tiers & Pricing

YardShopper offers the following listing tiers:

• Standard: Free. Basic yard sale listing with address, date/time, and description. Categories and photos are not included.
• Featured: $5 per listing. Includes everything in Standard, plus photo uploads, category selection, and enhanced visibility on the map.
• Estate Sale Subscription: $49 per month. Unlimited estate sale listings with full Featured benefits. Subscription renews monthly until canceled. You may manage or cancel your subscription through your account settings.

Community Sales

• Community sales are $29 per listing. Community sales allow organizers to host neighborhood-wide sales with multiple participating homes.
• Individual sellers may add their sale to an existing Community Sale. Participation terms (including any participation fees) are determined by the Community Sale organizer, not YardShopper.

Claiming a Sale

YardShopper may auto-detect yard sales from public data sources. You may claim an auto-detected sale as a free Standard listing. You may optionally upgrade to a Featured listing during the claim process for $5.

Credits

• Paid listings are purchased using virtual credits associated with your account.
• Credits have no cash value, are non-transferable, and may not be redeemed for cash.

Payment Processing

Payments are processed by third-party payment providers. YardShopper does not store full payment card details and receives only limited payment-related identifiers necessary to manage credits and transactions.

No Refunds

Once a listing is submitted or published, payments and credits are non-refundable, including but not limited to:

• User error
• Weather conditions
• Low attendance
• Sale cancellation
• Incorrect addresses or dates

This policy applies regardless of whether the purchase was made through the website, Apple App Store, or Google Play.

6. Local Sponsor Advertising

YardShopper may offer advertising placements to local businesses and sponsors. Advertising rates vary and are determined on an individual basis under separate written agreements. YardShopper does not guarantee specific results, impressions, or engagement from sponsor placements.

Sponsor content is clearly marked as such. YardShopper reserves the right to reject or remove any sponsor content that violates these Terms or our content standards.

7. Location Information

Location data displayed in YardShopper is derived from addresses provided by users and processed through third-party mapping services. YardShopper does not continuously track user location in the background.

Listings are public by design, and location information is visible to other users to enable discovery and navigation.

11. Content Moderation & Removal

We reserve the right to:

• Remove or disable listings at any time
• Suspend or terminate accounts for violations of these Terms
• Remove content that poses legal, safety, or operational risk

We are not required to provide notice, explanation, or refunds.

13. Third-Party Services

The Service relies on third-party providers, including Stripe (payments), Google Maps (mapping, geocoding, address autocomplete, directions, and route planning), Resend (transactional email), and AI/large language model providers (used to assist with address parsing for community sale listings and multi-stop route optimization), as well as analytics and infrastructure hosting providers.
