By accessing or using PocketDex (the “Service”), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service (“Terms”). If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the Service. These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you and PocketDex (“we,” “our,” or “us”). We reserve the right to update these Terms at any time. Your continued use of the Service after any changes constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms. We encourage you to review these Terms periodically.

2.Description of Service

PocketDex is a trading card portfolio tracking application that allows users to track their collectible card collections, monitor estimated portfolio value, and connect with other collectors. The Service includes:
