Terms of Service

1. Agreement to these Terms

These Terms of Service (the “Terms”) constitute a binding agreement between you and Page Craft LLC, a North Carolina limited liability company (“Carded”, “we”, “us” or “our”), and govern your access to and use of the Carded mobile application (the “App”), the associated backend services, and the website at which these Terms are posted (together, the “Service”). These Terms also serve as the end user license agreement for the App. By creating an account, or by accessing or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms and by our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated herein by reference. If you are entering into these Terms on behalf of a venue, company, or other entity, you represent and warrant that you have authority to bind that entity, and “you” refers to that entity. If you do not agree to these Terms, you must not use the Service.

2. Definitions

• “Operator” means a venue owner, manager, or member of door staff authorised to use the Service on behalf of a venue.
• “Guest” means an individual whose identification document is scanned by an Operator using the App.
• “Verdict” means the age assessment computed by the App from the data encoded in a document's barcode.
• “Subscription” means a paid, auto-renewing right to use the Service as described in Section 9.
• “Content” means the software, text, graphics, and other materials comprising the Service.

3. Eligibility and accounts

You must be at least eighteen (18) years of age and acting on behalf of a lawfully licensed venue to hold an Operator account. Owners authenticate using Sign in with Apple; door devices join a venue using a join code or pairing code and operate under anonymous sessions rather than personal accounts. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your credentials and venue codes and for all activity that occurs under your account or venue. You agree to notify us promptly at hello@pagecraftllc.com of any unauthorised use.

4. License grant and restrictions

Subject to your compliance with these Terms, we grant you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable license to download and use the App on Apple-branded devices that you own or control, and to use the Service, solely for your venue's internal business purposes for so long as your account remains active. You agree that you will not, and will not permit any third party to:

• copy, modify, adapt, translate, or create derivative works of the App or the Service;
• reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or otherwise attempt to derive the source code of the App, except to the extent such restriction is prohibited by applicable law;
• rent, lease, lend, sell, resell, sublicense, distribute, or otherwise commercialize the Service;
• remove, obscure, or alter any proprietary notices, or use our trademarks without our prior written consent; or
• circumvent, disable, or interfere with security-related features of the Service.

5. The Service and its limitations

The App reads the PDF417 barcode encoded on a United States driver's license or state identification card on the device in order to compute a Verdict against a venue's configured age threshold, and provides venue owners with aggregate reporting regarding their doors. The Service reads the data encoded in a barcode. It does not inspect the physical document, does not authenticate it, and does not determine whether an identification document is genuine, borrowed, or altered. The Service is presently offered for use with United States identification documents only.

6. No guarantee; Operator responsibility

This is the most important term. The Service assists a human decision; it does not replace it.

• A Verdict is a machine assessment of the data contained in a barcode, and is not a warranty that an identification document is authentic, that it belongs to the person presenting it, or that a Guest is of legal age.
• You and your staff remain solely responsible for every admission, refusal, and service decision, and for compliance with all applicable liquor-licensing, age-verification, anti-discrimination, and other laws.
• The Service is a tool to support your judgment, and is not a substitute for it and not a legal defense to any obligation to which you are subject.

7. Acceptable use and prohibited conduct

You agree that you will not, and will not permit any Operator to:

• use the Service for any purpose other than lawful age checks at your venue;
• attempt to extract, retain, export, or repurpose scanned document data outside the App's intended flow;
• use the Service to unlawfully discriminate against any person;
• interfere with, disrupt, or impose an unreasonable load on the Service or its infrastructure, or attempt to gain unauthorised access to it; or
• use the Service in violation of any applicable law or these Terms.

8. Abuse prevention and rate limiting

We employ automated systems that monitor use of the Service in order to protect the stability, security, and integrity of our infrastructure and the broader user community. Where our systems detect activity that appears abusive, excessive, or harmful, we may temporarily or permanently restrict, throttle, or suspend access without prior notice. If you believe your access has been restricted in error, please contact hello@pagecraftllc.com.

9. Guest data and privacy

Guest identification documents are read on the device and are not retained by the Service; no name, date of birth, document number, or image is retained. You are responsible for scanning identification documents only where you are lawfully entitled to do so, and for providing any notice to Guests that applicable law requires. Our handling of data is described in the Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into and forms part of these Terms.

10. Subscriptions, billing, and auto-renewal

The Service is offered as an auto-renewable Subscription sold through the Apple App Store — currently $14.99 per venue per month, or $79 per venue per year, covering unlimited doors, devices, staff, and manager accounts. The price displayed in the App Store at the time of purchase governs. By purchasing a Subscription, you acknowledge and agree that:

• payment will be charged to your Apple ID account upon confirmation of purchase;
• the Subscription automatically renews for successive periods of the same length unless auto-renewal is turned off at least twenty-four (24) hours before the end of the then-current period;
• your account will be charged for renewal within twenty-four (24) hours before the end of the then-current period, at the then-applicable price;
• you may manage or cancel the Subscription, and turn off auto-renewal, in your Apple ID account settings after purchase; and
• cancellation takes effect at the end of the current period, and amounts already paid are non-refundable except where required by law or by Apple's applicable policies.

Purchases through the App Store are also subject to Apple's applicable terms. We may change Subscription pricing on reasonable notice; changes apply to the next billing cycle.

11. Refunds and the App Store

Refund requests for App Store purchases are handled by Apple in accordance with Apple's policies. If you request a refund, you acknowledge that we may share limited Subscription and transaction information with Apple as reasonably necessary to review the request and to help ensure that claims are assessed fairly.

12. Device responsibilities and connectivity

You are responsible for maintaining your device and keeping it secure, charged, and updated, and we recommend that you do not jailbreak or root any device used with the App, as doing so may compromise its security and cause the App to malfunction. Certain features require an active internet connection; while the App supports offline scanning, we are not responsible for reduced functionality resulting from a lack of connectivity. You are responsible for any mobile-carrier data or roaming charges you incur while using the Service, and if you are not the bill payer for the device, we assume you have the bill payer's permission to use the Service.

13. Updates

We may release updates to the App from time to time and may require you to install them in order to continue using the Service. We do not warrant that we will continue to update the App or that it will remain compatible with every version of iOS you may have installed.

14. Intellectual property; feedback

The Service and all Content, and all trademarks, copyrights, database rights, and other intellectual property rights therein, are and remain the property of Page Craft LLC and its licensors. Except for the limited license granted in Section 4, no right, title, or interest in the Service is transferred to you. You retain rights to your own venue data. If you provide us with suggestions or feedback regarding the Service, you grant us a perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free license to use it without restriction or obligation to you.

15. Third-party services

The Service relies on services provided by third parties, including Apple (for Sign in with Apple and App Store billing) and Supabase (for backend infrastructure). Your use of such services may be subject to their respective terms, and we are not responsible for the acts or omissions of such third parties.

16. Availability and modifications to the Service

We work to keep the Service reliable, but we do not guarantee that it will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, or error-free. We may modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Service, with or without notice, and we may impose limits on certain features. We will not be liable to you or any third party for any such modification, suspension, or discontinuance.

17. Disclaimer of warranties

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE”, WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. Without limiting the foregoing, the Service reads the data encoded in a barcode; it does not inspect the physical document and does not determine whether an identification document is genuine, borrowed, or altered. Verdicts are based solely on the data encoded in the barcode, may be incorrect, and we do not warrant that they will be error-free. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties, so some of the above exclusions may not apply to you.

18. Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, CARDED AND ITS OFFICERS, MEMBERS, AND AGENTS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS OR REVENUES, OR FOR ANY FINES OR PENALTIES ARISING FROM ADMISSION OR LICENSING DECISIONS, WHETHER OR NOT 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 OR THESE TERMS WILL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNTS YOU PAID US IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM. These limitations form an essential basis of the bargain between us.

19. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Page Craft LLC and its officers, members, and agents from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or in any way connected with your use of the Service, your admission and licensing decisions, your violation of any law, or your breach of these Terms.

20. Term and termination

These Terms remain in effect while you use the Service. You may cancel at any time and may delete your account and venue from within the App. We may suspend or terminate your access, in whole or in part, for breach of these Terms or non-payment, or as otherwise permitted herein. Upon termination, the license granted to you ends and you must cease using the App; provisions that by their nature should survive (including Sections 6, 14, 17, 18, 19, 21, 22, and 23) will survive.

21. Notice regarding Apple

This Section applies to your use of the App obtained through the Apple App Store.

• Acknowledgement. These Terms are between you and Page Craft LLC only, and not with Apple Inc. (“Apple”). Apple is not responsible for the App or its content. To the extent these Terms provide for usage rules for the App that are less restrictive than the applicable Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions, the latter will apply.
• Scope of license. The license granted to you is limited to a non-transferable license to use the App on Apple-branded products that you own or control, as permitted by the Usage Rules in the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions.
• Maintenance and support. We are solely responsible for providing any maintenance and support for the App. Apple has no obligation to furnish any maintenance or support services.
• Warranty. We are solely responsible for any product warranties, whether express or implied by law, to the extent not effectively disclaimed. In the event of any failure of the App to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple may refund the purchase price (if any); to the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation with respect to the App.
• Product and IP claims. We, and not Apple, are responsible for addressing any claims relating to the App, including product-liability, regulatory, and consumer-protection claims, and any third-party claim that the App infringes intellectual property rights.
• Legal compliance. You represent and warrant that you are not located in a country subject to a U.S. Government embargo, and that you are not listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
• Third-party beneficiary. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and, upon your acceptance, will have the right to enforce these Terms against you.

22. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of North Carolina, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules, and, where applicable, by the United States Federal Arbitration Act. Subject to Section 23, the state and federal courts located in North Carolina will have exclusive jurisdiction, and you consent to their personal jurisdiction and venue.

23. Dispute resolution; arbitration; class-action waiver

Please read this Section carefully. It affects your legal rights.

• Informal resolution. Before commencing any formal proceeding, you agree to first contact us at hello@pagecraftllc.com and to attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute for a period of at least thirty (30) days.
• Binding arbitration. Except as provided below, any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service that is not resolved informally will be resolved by final and binding arbitration administered under the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association, seated in North Carolina.
• Class-action and jury-trial waiver. To the maximum extent permitted by law, disputes will be resolved only on an individual basis, and you and we each waive the right to a trial by jury and the right to participate in any class, consolidated, or representative action.
• Exceptions. Either party may bring a claim in small-claims court, and either party may seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to protect its intellectual property or confidential information.
• Opt-out. You may opt out of this arbitration provision by sending written notice to hello@pagecraftllc.com within thirty (30) days of first accepting these Terms.

24. Export controls

You agree to comply with all applicable United States and other export-control and sanctions laws in your use of the Service, and you represent that you are not prohibited from using the Service under any such laws.

25. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “Last updated” date above and post the revised Terms at this location. Where changes are material, we will provide additional notice as appropriate. Your continued use of the Service after the revised Terms take effect constitutes your acceptance of them.

26. General provisions

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Service and supersede all prior agreements on the subject. If any provision of these Terms is held unenforceable, that provision will be limited or severed to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect. Our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of it. You may not assign or transfer these Terms without our prior written consent, and any attempt to do so is void; we may assign these Terms without restriction. We will not be liable for any delay or failure to perform resulting from causes beyond our reasonable control. Headings are for convenience only and do not affect interpretation.
