Terms of Service

• You must be at least 18 years old and capable of entering into a binding contract to use the Service.
• You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials and for all activity under your account.
• You agree to provide accurate information and to keep your account details up to date.

GearDex is a subscription-based inventory management tool for camera gear and related equipment. Features may include gear tracking, maintenance scheduling, loan management, analytics, and other tools as described on geardex.app.

We may update or change features from time to time. Where changes are material, we will provide reasonable notice via the Service or email.

• GearDex offers a free Starter tier and paid subscription tiers (such as Pro and Studio) billed on a recurring monthly or annual basis.
• When you subscribe to a paid plan, your payment method is charged in advance for the applicable billing period via our billing provider, Stripe.
• Automatic Renewal: paid subscriptions automatically renew at the end of each billing period unless you cancel before the renewal date. The recurring amount and frequency are displayed during checkout and in your billing settings.
• You can manage or cancel your subscription at any time through the in-app billing section or the Stripe customer portal. If you cancel, you will generally retain access until the end of the current billing period unless otherwise specified.
• Pricing, features, and plans may change. If we materially change pricing for existing subscribers, we will provide advance notice and an opportunity to cancel before the new pricing takes effect.

For more detail on how billing, refunds, and trials work, see the Billing & Refund Policy in Settings → Data & Privacy or at /legal/billing.

From time to time, we may offer free trials or promotional periods for paid plans. The specific terms (duration, included features, and what happens at the end of the trial) will be shown at signup.

Our detailed refund and billing practices are described in the Billing & Refund Policy available on geardex.app, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference.

When you downgrade or cancel a paid plan, your access to paid features may be limited or removed. We generally retain your underlying gear data, but you may lose access to certain advanced features or higher limits (for example, item counts) unless you upgrade again.

You agree not to:

• Use the Service for any illegal or unauthorized purpose.
• Attempt to circumvent technical or usage limits, security controls, or subscription tiers.
• Interfere with or disrupt the Service, its infrastructure, or other users' access.
• Upload malicious code, attempt to gain unauthorized access, or reverse engineer the Service.

• You retain ownership of the content and data you submit to the Service (such as gear records, photos, and notes).
• You grant us a limited, non-exclusive license to store, process, and display your content solely as needed to operate and improve the Service.
• You are responsible for ensuring you have the necessary rights to the content you upload and that it does not violate any third-party rights.

You may stop using the Service at any time and may cancel your subscription via the billing settings. We may suspend or terminate your access if:

• You materially breach these Terms.
• We are required to do so by law or by one of our service providers.
• We reasonably believe your use of the Service presents a security or operational risk.

Upon termination, your right to use the Service will cease. Certain sections of these Terms (including payment obligations already incurred, disclaimers, limitations of liability, and governing law) will survive termination.

The Service is provided on an "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE" basis without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement.

We do not guarantee that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that data will always be available or recoverable. You are responsible for maintaining your own backups of critical information.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, in no event will GearDex or its owners be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenues, data, or use, arising out of or related to your use of the Service.

Our total liability for any claims arising out of or relating to the Service or these Terms will not exceed the amounts you have paid to us for the Service in the six (6) months preceding the event giving rise to the claim, or one hundred U.S. dollars (US$100), whichever is greater.

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict of law principles. Any disputes arising out of or related to these Terms or the Service will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in California, and you consent to the jurisdiction of those courts.

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will update the "Last updated" date above. If we make material changes, we may also provide additional notice, such as email or in-app notifications.

Your continued use of the Service after the changes become effective constitutes your acceptance of the updated Terms.
