7. Scope of Services

7.1 Physical Products — Descriptions, Condition, and Use

We strive to provide accurate descriptions, measurements, and high‑resolution photos for each physical item. Because inventory is vintage or pre‑owned, normal wear, patina, imperfections, and age‑related characteristics are expected and are not considered defects. Physical items are sold as collectible or decorative pieces and are not intended for modern functional use. If you have questions about an item, contact us before purchasing.

7.2 Digital Products — Access, License, and Restrictions

Digital/Virtual Products are delivered as account access through your RummageRunner account and are not provided as downloadable files unless explicitly stated. Digital/Virtual Products are licensed, not sold. All access is provided on a revocable, account‑based basis and may be modified, suspended, or discontinued at any time.

License: On purchase you receive a personal, non‑exclusive, non‑transferable, revocable license to use the Digital Product for your personal or internal business purposes only.

Prohibited Uses: You may not share credentials; reproduce, resell, or redistribute content; publish content publicly; use content to train AI models; include content in commercial datasets; or create derivative works for sale.

No Scraping / No Automation: Automated querying, scraping, data mining, or extraction of content is prohibited without express written consent.

Reverse Engineering: Decompilation, disassembly, or reverse engineering of software or algorithms is prohibited.

Living Products & Updates: Digital Products are living, server‑side resources. We may update content at any time; we are not obligated to maintain prior versions.

Refunds: All Digital Product sales are final once access is granted, except where the product is materially non‑functional and we cannot resolve the issue within a reasonable timeframe. Report access issues to support@rummagerunner.com within 30 days of purchase.

Termination of Access: We may suspend or revoke access for license violations without refund.

7.3 Platform (SaaS) — License, Use, and Data

License Grant: We grant a limited, non‑exclusive, non‑transferable, revocable license to access and use the Platform for your personal or internal business use.

Prohibited Actions: You may not reverse engineer, scrape, harvest, or extract Platform data; use bots or automation without written permission; attempt unauthorized access; interfere with system integrity; or use the Platform for fraud, abuse, or illegal activity. You agree not to circumvent, bypass, or attempt to replicate the Service, including its data, structure, or functionality, for commercial purposes.

Acceptable Use: You must not send spam, distribute malware, violate IP or privacy rights, or engage in deceptive practices. We may remove content, suspend accounts, or report violations at our discretion.

Data Ownership & Processing: You retain ownership of your uploaded data. You grant RummageRunner LLC a limited license to process your data solely to provide and improve the Platform. We will not sell your content; we may share data with subprocessors as described in Section 12.

Data Loss & Backups: We implement reasonable safeguards but are not responsible for data loss, corruption, or unauthorized access beyond our reasonable control. Maintain backups of critical data.

7.4 RummageMate OS™ — Forensic Evidence Generation

RummageMate OS™ is a forensic seller protection operating system that generates cryptographically sealed evidence records (“Notary Records”) for marketplace transactions. This section governs your use of RummageMate OS™ specifically.

7.4.1 Nature of the Service

RummageMate OS™ is a forensic evidence generation and documentation tool. It produces:

  • SHA‑256 cryptographic hashes of item photographs, weight logs, and environmental integrity data;
  • Chain‑of‑custody records (“Notary Records”) that link a specific item’s condition, weight, and environmental status to a unique Notary ID;
  • Dispute response materials, evidence bundles, and formal notices of policy violation (“Evidence Materials”);
  • Optionally, blockchain‑anchored timestamps that embed a Notary Record’s chain hash into a public blockchain for independent, third‑party timestamp verification.

7.4.2 Notary Records — Legal Status

RummageMate Notary Records are commercial timestamped evidence records generated by automated software. They are:

  • NOT a legal notarization under any state’s notary public laws;
  • NOT a guarantee of any dispute outcome;
  • NOT legal advice, legal representation, or a legal opinion;
  • PROVIDED as a tool to assist sellers in documenting the facts of their transactions, which may be submitted to marketplaces, payment processors, banks, or other third parties at the seller’s sole discretion and risk.

The acceptance, weight, and admissibility of any Notary Record or Evidence Material in any dispute, chargeback, arbitration, or legal proceeding is solely at the discretion of the reviewing platform, financial institution, arbitrator, or court. RummageRunner LLC makes no representation or warranty that any Notary Record will be accepted or will result in a favorable outcome.

7.4.3 Blockchain Anchoring

When enabled, RummageMate OS™ may embed a cryptographic hash of a Notary Record into a public blockchain via a separate, hardened signing service. The blockchain anchor:

  • Serves as an independent, third‑party timestamp verification that the hash existed at a specific point in time;
  • Is provided for additional evidentiary support at the seller’s option;
  • Does not constitute a legal notarization, certification, or guarantee;
  • May involve third‑party blockchain networks over which RummageRunner LLC has no control, and RummageRunner LLC is not liable for blockchain network congestion, failures, forks, or transaction delays.

7.4.4 Seller’s Responsibility

You acknowledge and agree that:

  • You are solely responsible for the accuracy and completeness of all data you input into RummageMate OS™, including item descriptions, photographs, weights, condition statements, and environmental certifications.
  • You are solely responsible for ensuring that your marketplace listings, transactions, and business practices comply with the terms, policies, and selling requirements of each respective marketplace.
  • RummageMate OS™ does not replace your own diligence, judgment, or professional advice. You should independently verify all AI‑generated content, including item identifications, authenticity assessments, pricing suggestions, and dispute materials.
  • RummageMate OS™ is not a substitute for legal counsel. For legal disputes, you should consult a licensed attorney.

7.4.5 Limitation on Evidence Guarantees

RummageRunner LLC does not guarantee that:

  • Any Notary Record will be accepted by any marketplace, payment processor, bank, arbitrator, or court;
  • Any dispute, chargeback, or claim will be resolved in your favor;
  • Any Evidence Material will result in the removal of negative feedback, reversal of a chargeback, or any other specific outcome;
  • The Platform will prevent fraud, scams, or buyer misconduct.

7.4.6 Data Retention and Deletion

Notary Records are retained for 180 days from the date of generation (“Vault Retention Period”), after which they are automatically purged. Blockchain anchors are permanent and cannot be deleted once confirmed. It is your responsibility to download and retain copies of any Notary Records or Evidence Materials you wish to keep beyond the Vault Retention Period.

8. Accounts & Security

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activity under your account. Notify us immediately of unauthorized use. We may suspend or terminate accounts for suspicious activity, non‑payment, or violations of these Terms. We may suspend, restrict, or permanently terminate access to any account at our sole discretion, with or without notice, and without liability.

9. Shipping & Delivery (Physical Products)

Orders placed before 11:00 AM EST on a business day generally ship the same business day; otherwise they ship the next business day. Shipping costs are calculated at checkout. Unless stated otherwise, physical items ship with tracking and insurance. Delivery times are estimates and may vary due to carrier delays, weather, or customs. International buyers are responsible for customs duties and import fees.

10. Returns, Refunds & Cancellations

10.1 Physical Products — Returns

Because items are vintage and one‑of‑a‑kind, we do not accept returns for buyer’s remorse. We offer a 30‑day return window only if an item arrives damaged in transit or is materially different from the listing. To initiate a return, contact us within 48 hours of delivery with photos of the item and packaging. Unauthorized returns will not be accepted. Return shipping instructions and liability will be provided for approved returns.

10.2 Digital Products

All Digital Product sales are final once access is granted, except as set out in Section 7.2.

10.3 SaaS Subscriptions

Cancellations take effect at the end of the current billing period. No prorated refunds are provided. We may suspend or terminate access for non‑payment or violations.

10.4 Order Cancellations

Physical orders may be canceled before shipment. Once handed to the carrier, orders cannot be canceled. Digital orders cannot be canceled once access is granted.

11. Intellectual Property

All content on our sites and Services — text, images, logos, graphics, product descriptions, Digital Product content, prompt text, organizational structures, example outputs, interface design, source code, algorithms, and forensic documentation structures — is owned by RummageRunner LLC and protected by U.S. and international copyright law. This includes, without limitation:

  • The RummageMate OS™ name, brand, and logo;
  • The Notary Record structure and format (NTR‑YYYYMMDD‑NNN);
  • The Letter of Marque format and content;
  • The forensic chain‑of‑custody documentation methodology;
  • All original software code, including the PHP plugin, frontend application, blockchain anchor microservice, and related components.

Purchase grants only the limited license described above. You may not copy, reproduce, distribute, publicly display, create derivative works, or use content for AI training without express written permission. We actively monitor and enforce our IP rights. For licensing inquiries, contact support@rummagerunner.com.

We process personal data only to provide and improve the Services, and as otherwise instructed by you.

12.4 Subprocessors

12.5 Data Subject Rights

We will assist with access, deletion, correction, and portability requests to the extent required by law.

12.6 Data Breach

We will notify you of confirmed data breaches affecting your data within a reasonable timeframe.

12.7 Data Retention & Deletion
