Terms of Service

1. Who we are

snkrvalue is operated by:

Daniel Kopanev
Ansbacher Straße 8
10787 Berlin
Germany
Email: snkrvalue.online@gmail.com
Website: snkrvalue.online

Unless expressly stated otherwise, references to “snkrvalue”, “we”, “us”, or “our” mean Daniel Kopanev as sole proprietor.

2. Scope

These Terms of Service govern your access to and use of snkrvalue, including our website, scan tools, account features, paid scan plans, referral program, and related support services.

If you are a consumer, mandatory consumer protection law remains unaffected by these Terms.

If you are using snkrvalue mainly for your trade, business, or profession, some consumer-specific sections of these Terms may not apply to you.

3. Eligibility and accounts

• You must be at least 16 years old to create an account or use paid features, unless a parent or legal guardian has validly consented where required by law.
• You must provide a valid email address.
• You may keep only one account per person unless we expressly allow otherwise.
• You are responsible for keeping access to your email account secure, because we use email-based login links.
• We may refuse or restrict access if we reasonably suspect fraud, abuse, automated misuse, or a violation of these Terms.

4. What snkrvalue does

snkrvalue is a web-based tool that helps sneaker resellers estimate resale value.

Our core service may include:

• image-based sneaker identification
• estimated brand, model, colorway, SKU, and release year
• price aggregation from third-party data sources
• estimated fair value, quick-sell value, and maximum price
• platform fee and profit calculations
• AI-generated listing suggestions
• trend, fake-risk, and platform recommendation outputs

snkrvalue is an informational software service. We do NOT buy or sell sneakers, we do NOT act as a marketplace, broker, auctioneer, or payment intermediary for sneaker transactions, and we do NOT authenticate physical shoes.

5. Important limitations of the service

Our outputs are estimates only. This means:

• prices and trends may be inaccurate, delayed, incomplete, or stale
• AI identification may be wrong
• fake-risk flags are not authenticity certificates
• listing text may contain mistakes
• third-party market data can change at any time
• we do not guarantee that you will make a profit, achieve a sale, or obtain a particular market price

You remain responsible for verifying sneaker details, authenticity, platform rules, fees, and any listing you publish on third-party platforms.

6. Free and paid use

6.1 Anonymous free scan

We may allow one anonymous scan per IP address within a 24-hour period.

6.2 Registered free use

Registered users may receive 3 lifetime free scans.

6.3 Paid scan plans

We may offer one-time scan products or prepaid scan credit packs. The current plans, features, and prices shown on the pricing page and checkout page at the time of purchase apply.

Unless stated otherwise at checkout, prepaid purchased scan credits do not expire while your account remains open. Promotional credits, referral bonuses, or free credits may be subject to separate limits or removal in cases of abuse or fraud.

6.4 Subscription plans

No subscription products are currently offered. If we offer subscription plans in the future, they will renew automatically until cancelled, and we will provide a dedicated cancellation flow on our website in accordance with §312k BGB.

7. Prices, taxes, and payment

All prices are shown in EUR.

All prices are final prices. No VAT is charged pursuant to §19 UStG.

Payments are processed by Stripe or another payment provider shown at checkout. We do not receive or store your full card details.

Accepted payment methods are shown during checkout.

You authorize us and our payment provider to charge the selected payment method for the selected plan.

If a payment fails, we may suspend access to paid features until payment is completed.

8. How contracts are concluded online

When you buy a paid plan on our website, the ordering process generally works as follows:

1. You select a plan.
2. You enter or confirm the required details.
3. You can review and correct your entries before final submission.
4. You place the order by clicking the payment button.
5. You receive an electronic confirmation of your order.

The contract language is English.

You can identify and correct input errors before submitting your order by using the checkout interface and your browser's navigation tools before final confirmation.

We may store order records for internal and legal purposes, but you should save or print your order details and these Terms when placing your order.

9. Right of withdrawal for consumers

9.1 General rule

If you are a consumer and buy from us at a distance, you generally have a statutory right to withdraw from the contract within 14 days without giving any reason, unless a legal exception applies. For digital services and digital content supplied online, the withdrawal period generally begins when the contract is concluded.

9.2 How to exercise the right of withdrawal

To withdraw, you must send us a clear statement of your decision to withdraw, for example by email to: snkrvalue.online@gmail.com

You may use the model withdrawal form at the end of these Terms, but you do not have to.

9.3 Immediate performance before the 14-day period ends

Because snkrvalue is a digital service that users usually want to access immediately, we ask you during checkout to expressly request that we begin performing the contract before the withdrawal period ends.

If you make that request and then withdraw within the 14-day period:

• for multi-use service packages (credit packs), we may keep an amount corresponding to the value of the service already provided up to the time of withdrawal
• for a single-use service or another service that has already been fully performed, your withdrawal right may expire once the service has been fully performed, if the legal requirements for this have been met

9.4 Refunds after withdrawal

If you validly withdraw, we will reimburse payments due to you using the same payment method you used for the original transaction, unless we expressly agree otherwise.

If you requested immediate performance and used part of the service before withdrawing, we may deduct the legally permitted value of the service already provided.

9.5 No effect on mandatory statutory rights

Nothing in this section limits any mandatory withdrawal rights or other mandatory consumer rights you may have under applicable law.

10. Cancellation of subscriptions

Note: This section only applies while subscription products are offered. No subscriptions are currently active.

If a subscription is offered, you can cancel it at any time with effect for the end of the current billing period, unless you exercise a statutory withdrawal right earlier.

If a subscription is concluded on our website, we will provide an online cancellation option on our website as required by applicable law.

Cancelling a subscription stops future renewals. It does not retroactively cancel completed billing periods, except where mandatory law gives you that right.

11. Refund policy outside statutory withdrawal rights

11.1 Prepaid scans

If you buy a prepaid scan product and no paid scan from that purchase has been used, you may contact support within 14 days and we will review your request under the applicable statutory withdrawal rules and our published refund process.

If paid scans from a multi-scan purchase have already been used, any refund will be handled in line with mandatory consumer law, including any legally permitted deduction for the value already provided.

11.2 Founding Pledges (Vorbereitungsphase)

snkrvalue befindet sich aktuell in der Vorbereitungsphase. Founding Pledges (Beträge €5–€1.000) sichern lebenslange reduzierte Marktplatz-Provisions-Konditionen, deren kommerzielle Aktivierung in Phase 1.5 der öffentlichen Roadmap geplant ist (voraussichtlich Q3/Q4 2026, abhängig von Gewerbeanmeldung, Stripe-Connect-Aktivierung und DAC7-Registrierung).

Garantierte Rückerstattung bei Nicht-Aktivierung: Sollte der Provisions-Marktplatz nicht innerhalb von 18 Monaten nach Pledge-Datum aktiviert werden (also spätestens 18 Monate nach Zahlungseingang), hat der Käufer Anspruch auf Vollerstattung des Pledge-Betrags durch formlose Email an snkrvalue.online@gmail.com.

Unabhängig davon gilt das gesetzliche 14-Tage-Widerrufsrecht (siehe Abschnitt 9). Pledge-bezogene Founding-Member-Badges, Discord-Zugang und ähnliche sofort gewährte Vorteile entfallen bei Widerruf.

11A. EU-Streitbeilegung & §36 VSBG

Die Europäische Kommission stellt eine Plattform zur Online-Streitbeilegung (OS) bereit: https://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr. Unsere Email-Adresse für entsprechende Anfragen: snkrvalue.online@gmail.com.

Wir sind nicht bereit oder verpflichtet, an Streitbeilegungsverfahren vor einer Verbraucherschlichtungsstelle teilzunehmen (§36 VSBG).

12. User-Content und Repost-Lizenz

12.1 Hochgeladene Inhalte

Du kannst Bilder und Videos auf snkrvalue hochladen — unter anderem als Profilbild, Collection-Foto via “Add to Collection”, Sneaker-Identifikations-Foto via “Photo to Identify” oder als Showcase-Submission.

12.2 Repost-Lizenz fuer Showcase-Submissions

Wenn du ein Bild oder Video zum Showcase einreichst, gewaehrst du snkrvalue eine nicht-exklusive, weltweite, unentgeltliche, uebertragbare Lizenz zur Nutzung, Bearbeitung und Veroeffentlichung des Materials auf allen snkrvalue-eigenen Kanaelen (Web, Twitter, Instagram, TikTok, Marketing-Materialien). Bei Submission wirst du explizit zur Zustimmung aufgefordert (separate Checkbox).

12.3 Optional: Ad-Lizenz

Du kannst zusaetzlich eine Ad-Lizenz erteilen, die snkrvalue auch zur Nutzung in bezahlten Werbe-Kampagnen berechtigt. Diese Ad-Lizenz ist freiwillig und wird mit einer Founding-Spot-Prioritaet belohnt.

12.4 Andere Uploads

Profilbilder und Collection-Fotos werden ausschliesslich zur Anzeige in deinem Account und im Community-Feed verwendet. Eine Repost-Lizenz fuer diese Uploads erteilst du nur, wenn du das Material explizit zum Showcase einreichst.

12.5 Widerruf

Du kannst jede erteilte Lizenz jederzeit per Email an snkrvalue.online@gmail.com widerrufen. snkrvalue entfernt das Material binnen 14 Tagen von allen eigenen Kanaelen. Reposts durch Dritte (Twitter-Retweets, Bildschirmfotos, Web-Archive) liegen ausserhalb unserer Kontrolle und koennen nicht garantiert entfernt werden.

12.6 Rechte Dritter

Du versicherst, dass alle hochgeladenen Inhalte von dir selbst erstellt wurden oder dass du ueber die erforderlichen Rechte verfuegst, einschliesslich Recht am eigenen Bild fuer alle abgebildeten Personen (§22 KUG). snkrvalue stellt dich von Anspruechen Dritter frei, die aus einer Verletzung dieser Versicherung resultieren.

13. Referral program

We may offer a referral program that rewards an existing user when a referred user makes a qualifying first paid purchase.

On the current product design, the referral reward is 10 bonus scans after the referred user's first qualifying paid purchase.

Referral rewards are promotional benefits, not cash.

You must not:

• refer yourself
• create fake accounts
• use misleading claims
• use spam, bots, or automated methods
• pretend that snkrvalue is free when a paid purchase is required for the reward trigger

We may withhold, reverse, or remove referral rewards if we reasonably suspect abuse, fraud, self-referral, chargeback abuse, or other manipulation.

14. User content and image uploads

You keep ownership of the images you upload.

You grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, limited license to host, store, copy, transmit, and process your uploaded images and related data only as necessary to:

• operate snkrvalue
• generate scan results
• provide scan history
• prevent abuse and fraud
• troubleshoot, secure, and improve the service as permitted by law and our Privacy Policy

You represent that you have the right to upload the image and allow us to process it for these purposes.

You must not upload:

• illegal content
• pornographic or obviously unrelated content
• malware or harmful code
• content that infringes third-party rights
• content submitted for bulk scraping, model training abuse, or platform abuse

15. Acceptable use

You must not:

• circumvent scan limits or anti-abuse controls
• rotate VPNs, proxies, or automation to bypass limits
• scrape or systematically extract our data
• resell, sublicense, or mirror our service as an API without permission
• use snkrvalue to train competing models or datasets from our outputs without permission
• interfere with the service or its infrastructure
• abuse the referral system

We may impose technical limits, rate limits, verification steps, or account restrictions to protect the service.

16. Third-party services

snkrvalue depends on third-party providers, including hosting, payment, AI, and pricing data services.

We are not responsible for:

• the availability or accuracy of third-party platforms or data sources
• changes in third-party fees, policies, or APIs
• outages or delays caused by third-party providers
• the outcome of transactions you conduct on StockX, GOAT, eBay, or other third-party platforms

17. Intellectual property

The snkrvalue service, including our brand, interface, software, database structure, design, and non-user content, is protected by intellectual property law.

We do not claim ownership of your original uploaded sneaker photos.

Unless mandatory law allows otherwise, you may not copy, reverse engineer, extract, reproduce, or commercially exploit our service, software, brand elements, or compiled data beyond normal use of the service.

AI-generated listing text generated for you through the service may be used by you for your own resale listings, subject to these Terms and any third-party platform rules.

18. Service availability and changes

We aim to keep snkrvalue available and useful, but we do not promise uninterrupted availability or error-free operation.

We may update, improve, suspend, or discontinue features for valid reasons, including:

• legal or regulatory requirements
• security
• fraud prevention
• technical necessity
• product improvement
• third-party provider changes
• business changes

If we make a material adverse change to an ongoing paid service, we will provide reasonable notice where practicable. Mandatory statutory rights remain unaffected.

19. Suspension and termination

18.1 By you

You may stop using the service at any time. You may delete your account using the tools we provide.

18.2 By us

We may suspend or terminate access if:

• you materially breach these Terms
• we reasonably suspect fraud, botting, scraping, chargeback abuse, or referral abuse
• your use creates legal, security, or operational risk
• we are required to do so by law

Where appropriate, we may warn you first. For serious abuse, fraud, or security risks, we may suspend immediately.

If your account is terminated for cause, we may remove promotional benefits, free credits, and referral rewards obtained or used in breach of these Terms. Purchased unused services will be handled in accordance with mandatory law.

20. Liability

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability where the law does not allow such exclusion or limitation.

In particular, we do not exclude or limit liability for:

• intent
• gross negligence
• injury to life, body, or health
• fraud
• any other liability that cannot be excluded under mandatory law

For slightly negligent breaches of essential contractual obligations, our liability is limited to the foreseeable damage typical for this type of contract.

Otherwise, our liability is excluded to the extent permitted by law.

Because snkrvalue provides automated informational estimates, we are not liable for your business decisions, pricing decisions, resale outcomes, authentication decisions, platform account actions, or profits you expected but did not achieve, except where mandatory law provides otherwise.

21. Complaint handling

If you have a complaint, please contact us first at: snkrvalue.online@gmail.com

We will try to review and respond within a reasonable time.

22. Privacy

Our processing of personal data is described in our Privacy Policy.

23. Changes to these Terms

We may change these Terms for future use of the service if required for legal, technical, or business reasons.

If we make material changes affecting an ongoing paid relationship, we will give notice where required by law.

The version in force at the time of your order governs that order, unless mandatory law requires otherwise.

24. Governing law and venue

These Terms are governed by the law of Germany.

If you are a consumer living in another EU or EEA country, you also keep the protection of the mandatory consumer laws of the country where you live.

If you are not a consumer, the exclusive place of jurisdiction is Berlin, Germany, to the extent permitted by law.

25. Consumer dispute resolution

We are not willing and not obliged to participate in dispute resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration board.

26. Model withdrawal form

If you want to withdraw from the contract, you may fill out and return this form, but it is not mandatory.
