Terms of Use

Draft for review. Not legal advice — have someone qualified read it before the app is published.

What this app is

Crate Cruiser: Vinyl Organizer identifies vinyl records from photographs of their spines and keeps track of where each one sits on your shelf.

Identification is a best guess

The app reads worn print in bad light and matches it against a database of millions of records. It will sometimes be wrong. Matches are shown as proposals you can accept, correct or reject, and you should treat them that way — particularly before buying or selling anything on the strength of one. Nothing here is a valuation or a guarantee of what a record is.

Your collection is yours

You keep every right in the photographs you take and the collection you build. If you sign in to an account, you grant permission to keep a copy of your shelf in it solely so that it can be shown to you on any device you sign in on and given back to you on a new one. It is not sold, shared or used to train anything. If you join the collector network, you also allow your shelf, wantlist and favourites to be counted into anonymous per-album totals shown to other signed-in users, as described in the privacy policy; leaving takes them out again.

Where the data comes from

Record data comes from the Discogs monthly data dumps, released under CC0, and from the Discogs API. Cover art is fetched from the Deezer API, Discogs and Apple's iTunes Search API and is the property of its respective owners. This app is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to Discogs, Deezer or Apple.

Premium subscriptions

• Premium is an auto-renewing subscription, sold through the App Store or Google Play at the price the app shows before you subscribe, and charged to the Apple or Google account you buy with. It renews at the end of each period, a year or a month, until you cancel.
• Cancel any time in your App Store or Google Play subscriptions (Settings › Premium › Manage subscription goes there). On the App Store, cancel at least 24 hours before the renewal date to stop the next charge. Premium stays on until the end of the period already paid for.
• Free trial. Where the store offers it, the yearly plan starts with a 7-day free trial, once per person: on the App Store, if you have not had a trial of Premium before; on Google Play, if you have not subscribed before. Nothing is charged during the trial. When it ends, the yearly price is charged and renews every year, unless you cancel before the trial ends (on the App Store, at least 24 hours before).
• Refunds. Premium is bought through the App Store or Google Play, so refunds follow that store's refund policy: ask Apple at reportaproblem.apple.com, or Google Play from your order history.
• None of this limits any right to a refund or to cancel that the law where you live gives you.

Fair use

Do not use the app to break the law, and do not attempt to extract the bundled database wholesale for redistribution.

No warranty

Provided as is, without warranty of any kind. To the extent the law allows, no liability is accepted for any loss arising from its use — including a record identified incorrectly.

Changes

These terms may change. Material changes will be shown in the app and you will be asked to agree again.
