Version 2.1 · Last updated September 15, 2026 · Effective September 15, 2026
ShowMate (the "Service") is operated by LDC Collectibles LLC, a Florida limited liability company doing business as "ShowMate" ("ShowMate," "we," "us," or "our"). Our address for notices is 12221 Towne Lake Dr, Ste A, PMB 110, Fort Myers, FL 33913, and our contact email is [email protected].
These Terms of Service (these "Terms") are a binding contract between you and LDC Collectibles LLC. They govern your use of the ShowMate application, the showmate.net website, and any related services we provide.
Our Privacy Policy is incorporated into these Terms by reference.
You accept these Terms by clicking "I agree" (or a similar control) when you first open the Service, when you create an account, or when you subscribe to Pro. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.
We may present updated Terms for your acceptance from time to time. Continuing to use the Service after we have given you notice of updated Terms, as described in Section 18, means you accept them.
You must be at least 18 years old and able to form a binding contract to use the Service. The Service is a business tool intended for use by trading card dealers, vendors, and retailers. It is not directed to children, and we do not knowingly permit anyone under 18 to use it. If you are using the Service on behalf of a business entity, you represent that you are authorized to bind that entity, and "you" refers to both you and that entity.
ShowMate is an offline-first inventory, pricing, and point-of-sale tool for trading card vendors. The core application runs on your device and stores your business data locally in your browser's storage. Optional paid "Pro" features require an account and an active subscription.
Availability and changes. We may add, modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Service, including any feature, tier, catalog, data source, or usage limit, at any time. Where a change materially reduces a feature you are actively paying for, we will give you reasonable advance notice by email and, if you do not wish to continue, you may cancel and receive a pro-rated refund of the unused portion of your then-current subscription term.
We do not guarantee that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or available at any particular time.
Subject to these Terms, we grant you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable license to install and use the Service for your own internal business purposes.
We and our licensors retain all right, title, and interest in and to the Service, including all software, source code, interface designs, catalog compilations, branding, and the name and logo "ShowMate." Nothing in these Terms transfers any ownership to you. All rights not expressly granted are reserved.
What you may do. You may export your own business records — your inventory, purchases, sales, trades, cost basis, and customer records — at any time, in full, using the built-in export tools, and you may use those exports for any lawful purpose. Those records are yours (see Section 8).
What you may not do. You may not:
The final restriction reflects obligations we owe to our own data providers and is not negotiable. It applies to the underlying reference data only. It does not restrict your export of your own business records, even where those records incorporate prices or card details you looked up in the Service.
Pro features require an account. You are responsible for maintaining control of the email address associated with your account and for all activity that occurs under it. You must provide accurate information and keep it current. Notify us promptly at [email protected] if you believe your account has been accessed without your authorization.
Accounts are for a single business. You may use your account across your own devices, but you may not share account credentials with, or resell access to, another business.
Pricing. Pro is offered on a recurring monthly or annual basis at the prices shown at checkout. Prices are in U.S. dollars and exclusive of any applicable taxes, which you are responsible for.
Automatic renewal. Your Pro subscription renews automatically. Unless you cancel before the end of your then-current term, it will renew for a further term of the same length, and the payment method on file will be charged the then-current price for that term. Monthly subscriptions renew each month; annual subscriptions renew each year.
Cancellation. You may cancel at any time from your account settings inside the Service, without contacting us and without completing any additional steps beyond those required to subscribe. Cancellation takes effect at the end of your current paid term, and you retain Pro access until then.
Price changes. We will give you at least 30 days' notice by email before any price increase takes effect. The new price applies from your next renewal. If you do not accept it, you may cancel before that renewal.
Refunds. Except as expressly stated in these Terms or required by applicable law, subscription fees are non-refundable, and we do not provide refunds or credits for partial periods. This does not affect any statutory right you may have.
Payment processing. Payments are processed by Stripe, Inc., subject to its own terms and privacy policy. We do not receive or store your full payment card details.
Failed payments. If a payment fails, we may retry it and may suspend or downgrade Pro access until payment succeeds.
Your business data is yours. We claim no ownership of your inventory, transaction, customer, or pricing records.
Because the core application stores your data locally on your device, you are solely responsible for maintaining your own backups. Clearing your browser storage, using private browsing, uninstalling the application, resetting your device, or losing your device may permanently delete your data. Use the built-in export tools regularly.
We cannot recover data that was never transmitted to us, and we are not responsible for its loss.
If you enable Pro device sync, we handle the synced data as described in our Privacy Policy.
You agree not to use the Service to violate any law or the rights of any third party, and not to:
Some features — including card image recognition and scanning, catalog refreshes, and price lookups — consume metered capacity that we purchase from third-party providers on your behalf. Your subscription entitles you to use these features at a level consistent with ordinary single-business use.
We may set, publish, and enforce reasonable limits on these features, including per-day or per-month caps on image recognition requests and catalog refreshes, and we may rate-limit, throttle, suspend, or require an upgraded plan where your usage is materially atypical, automated, or economically unreasonable relative to your subscription.
Where practical, we will notify you before taking any action that materially affects your access, and we will publish any standing limits in the Service or our documentation.
Card catalog information, images, market pricing, graded population data, and comparable sales figures are licensed by us from third-party data providers and bundled into the on-device snapshot you download. We are not the source of this information and do not independently verify it.
This data is provided for reference only. It may be inaccurate, incomplete, stale, or unavailable. Automated card identification and image recognition are probabilistic and may return incorrect matches. Market prices for collectibles are volatile and vary by venue, condition assessment, timing, and buyer. Pricing shown in the Service is a tool to inform your own judgment — you alone are responsible for the prices at which you buy, sell, and trade, and for your own assessment of any card's condition, grade, or authenticity.
We make no representation that any price shown reflects what any card will actually sell for, and neither we nor our data providers accept liability for your reliance on it. Our data providers disclaim all warranties as to their data, and those disclaimers flow through to you. Nothing in the Service should be treated as an appraisal, authentication, or grading opinion.
Dependence on third parties. Our access to catalog and pricing data depends on agreements with third-party providers, which may change, be suspended, or end on short notice and outside our control. If we lose access to a data source, catalog and pricing features may become limited, stale, or unavailable while we transition to an alternative. We will notify paying subscribers if this materially affects the Service and will apply Section 4 (advance notice and pro-rated refund) accordingly.
The Service includes features that calculate sales tax, cost basis, inventory valuation, profit, and similar figures. These are computational conveniences, not professional advice. The Service is not a substitute for a qualified accountant, tax professional, or attorney, and we do not provide tax, accounting, legal, appraisal, authentication, grading, or investment advice.
Tax rules vary by jurisdiction and change over time. You are solely responsible for determining and meeting your own tax, licensing, reporting, and recordkeeping obligations, and for verifying any figure produced by the Service before relying on it.
ShowMate is an independent product. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, or otherwise connected to The Pokémon Company International, Nintendo, Creatures Inc., GAME FREAK inc., Bandai Namco, Shueisha, Toei Animation, Wizards of the Coast, Disney, Professional Sports Authenticator (PSA), Beckett Grading Services (BGS), Certified Guaranty Company (CGC), TAG Grading, or any other card publisher, distributor, marketplace, or grading service.
Pokémon, One Piece, and all other product names, logos, set names, card names, character names, and grading company names referenced in the Service are trademarks of their respective owners. Card images and card text remain the property of their respective rights holders. They appear in the Service solely to allow vendors to identify, catalog, and price the genuine physical cards they own or are evaluating — a descriptive, identifying use we believe constitutes nominative fair use. We claim no ownership of, and assert no license to grant you rights in, any third-party intellectual property.

THE SERVICE, INCLUDING ALL CATALOG, IMAGE, RECOGNITION, AND PRICING DATA, IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND.
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, LDC COLLECTIBLES LLC AND ITS LICENSORS, DATA PROVIDERS, AND SUPPLIERS EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ACCURACY, AND RELIABILITY, AND ANY WARRANTIES ARISING OUT OF COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE.
WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE; THAT DEFECTS WILL BE CORRECTED; THAT ANY DATA, PRICE, IMAGE MATCH, OR CALCULATION WILL BE ACCURATE, COMPLETE, OR CURRENT; OR THAT THE SERVICE WILL MEET YOUR REQUIREMENTS.
SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF CERTAIN WARRANTIES, SO SOME OF THE ABOVE EXCLUSIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. IN THAT CASE, ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY IS LIMITED IN DURATION TO NINETY (90) DAYS FROM YOUR FIRST USE OF THE SERVICE.
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, LDC COLLECTIBLES LLC AND ITS MEMBERS, MANAGERS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, LICENSORS, DATA PROVIDERS, AND SUPPLIERS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, GOODWILL, BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY, OR DATA, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICE, WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT, TORT, STRICT LIABILITY, OR ANY OTHER THEORY, AND EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICE WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE TOTAL AMOUNT YOU PAID US IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM, OR (B) ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS ($100).
THESE LIMITATIONS APPLY EVEN IF A LIMITED REMEDY FAILS OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW CERTAIN LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY, SO SOME OF THE ABOVE MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
You acknowledge that the pricing, fee structure, and free tier of the Service reflect this allocation of risk, and that we would not offer the Service on these terms without it.
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless LDC Collectibles LLC and its members, managers, officers, employees, agents, licensors, data providers, and suppliers from and against any claim, demand, loss, liability, damage, fine, penalty, cost, or expense (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or relating to:
We may assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter subject to indemnification by you, at your expense, and you agree to cooperate with us.
By you. You may stop using the Service at any time and cancel any subscription as described in Section 7.
By us. We may suspend or terminate your access, with or without notice, if you breach these Terms, if we reasonably believe your use creates legal or security risk, if your use places our data provider agreements at risk, or if we discontinue the Service. If we terminate without cause, we will refund the unused portion of any prepaid subscription term.
Effect of termination. Sections 5, 8, and 11 through 23 survive termination. Export your data before terminating; we are not obligated to retain it.
Changes to these Terms. We may update these Terms. For non-material changes we will revise the "Last updated" date. For material changes we will give account holders at least 30 days' notice by email before the change takes effect and, where required, seek your affirmative acceptance. If you do not agree to a material change, your remedy is to stop using the Service and cancel your subscription before the change takes effect; we will refund the unused portion of your then-current term. We will not apply material changes retroactively to disputes that arose before the change.
These Terms and any dispute arising out of or relating to them or the Service are governed by the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply.
Subject to Section 20, you and we agree that the exclusive venue for any dispute is the state or federal courts located in Lee County, Florida, and each party consents to personal jurisdiction there.
Informal resolution first. Before starting a formal proceeding, you agree to contact us at [email protected] with a written description of the dispute and the relief you seek, and to allow us 30 days to resolve it informally.
Arbitration. If we cannot resolve the dispute informally, you and we agree that any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service will be resolved by binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, rather than in court. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this section. Arbitration will take place in Lee County, Florida, or, at your election, by telephone, video, or written submission. The arbitrator's award may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.
Exceptions. Either party may bring an individual action in small claims court. Either party may seek injunctive relief in court to protect intellectual property rights.
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, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. The arbitrator may not consolidate claims or preside over any form of representative proceeding. If this waiver is found unenforceable as to a particular claim, that claim — and only that claim — will proceed in court under Section 19.
Your right to opt out. You may opt out of this arbitration agreement by emailing [email protected] with the subject line "Arbitration Opt-Out," including your name and account email, within 30 days of first accepting these Terms. Opting out will not affect any other part of these Terms or your use of the Service.
The Service is intended for use in the United States. We make no representation that the Service is appropriate or available in other locations. If you access the Service from outside the United States, you do so at your own initiative and are responsible for compliance with local law.
Entire agreement. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, are the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Service and supersede all prior agreements and understandings on that subject.
Severability. If any provision is held unenforceable, it will be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, or severed, and the remaining provisions will remain in full force.
No waiver. Our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of our right to do so later.
Assignment. You may not assign these Terms without our prior written consent. We may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of substantially all of our assets.
Force majeure. We are not liable for any delay or failure to perform caused by events beyond our reasonable control, including natural disasters, hurricanes, power or internet failures, third-party service or data provider outages, labor disputes, or acts of government.
Third-party beneficiaries. Our data providers and licensors are intended third-party beneficiaries of Sections 5, 9, 11, 15, 16, and 17, and may enforce those sections directly against you. No other person has any right to enforce these Terms.
Relationship. Nothing in these Terms creates any partnership, joint venture, employment, or agency relationship between you and us.
Notices. We may give notice by email to the address associated with your account or by posting in the Service. You may give notice to us at [email protected] or at the mailing address in Section 1.
Headings. Section headings are for convenience only and do not affect interpretation.
