Terms of Service

for RecollectKits

Last Updated: July 24, 2026

1. Acceptance of Terms

Welcome to RecollectKits! These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the RecollectKits platform at recollectkits.com (the "Platform"), operated by RecollectKits LLC ("RecollectKits," "we," "our," or "us"), including any content, functionality, and services offered on or through the Platform.

By creating an account, accessing, or using the Platform, you agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to these Terms, you may not use the Platform.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years of age to use this Platform. If you are under 18, you represent that you have your parent's or guardian's permission to use the Platform. By using the Platform, you represent and warrant that you meet these eligibility requirements.

3. Account Registration and Security

Account Creation:

You must provide accurate, current, and complete information during registration
You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials
You are responsible for all activities that occur under your account
You must notify us immediately of any unauthorized access or security breach

Access and Ongoing Development:

Because the Platform is under active development, features may change, be added, or be removed, and we may occasionally need to migrate data. We may grant, limit, suspend, or revoke access at our discretion. Please keep your own copies of anything important to you.

One Account Per User:

You may only maintain one account. Multiple accounts per user are not permitted.

Account Termination:

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your account at any time for violation of these Terms, fraudulent activity, or any reason we deem appropriate, with or without notice.

4. User Content and Ownership

Your Content:

You retain all ownership rights to content you submit to the Platform, including:

Kit catalog data
Photos you upload
Descriptions and notes
Collection organization

License Grant to RecollectKits:

By submitting content to the Platform, you grant RecollectKits a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, transferable license to:

Use, display, reproduce, and distribute your content on the Platform
Create derivative works for platform features (e.g., statistics, trends, aggregated data)
Share your content with other users according to your privacy settings
Use your content for marketing and promotional purposes (only public content)

This license continues even if you stop using the Platform, but ends when you delete specific content or your account — except for approved catalog contributions as described below.

Contributions to the Shared Catalog:

RecollectKits maintains a shared, community catalog of kits that all users rely on. When you submit a kit to the catalog, a moderator reviews it, and if approved, the kit's factual details and any photos you provided are published to the public catalog. Because other users build their collections on top of this shared reference:

Approved catalog entries and their images may remain in the catalog after you delete your account, though they are no longer associated with your identity.
You grant RecollectKits a perpetual, irrevocable license to retain and display approved catalog contributions as part of the catalog.
Your private records for a kit (your notes, prices, personal photos, and collection) are separate and are removed when you delete your account.

Only submit catalog photos and information that you hold the rights to and are comfortable making public and having remain in the catalog.

Your Representations:

You represent and warrant that:

You own or have the necessary rights to all content you submit
Your content does not infringe any third-party rights (copyright, trademark, privacy, etc.)
Your content complies with these Terms and applicable laws
You have permission to upload any photos that you did not personally take

5. User Responsibilities and Prohibited Conduct

You agree NOT to:

Upload false, inaccurate, or misleading information
Upload content you do not have rights to use
Upload copyrighted images without permission (e.g., manufacturer photos, photos from other websites)
Impersonate any person or entity
Harass, abuse, or harm other users
Use the Platform for any illegal purpose
Attempt to gain unauthorized access to any part of the Platform
Interfere with or disrupt the Platform's functionality
Use automated systems (bots, scrapers) without permission
Scrape, harvest, or extract the kit catalog or other Platform content through automated means
Use Platform content or data to build, train, or improve any machine-learning model, AI system, or dataset

7. Copyright Policy

7.1 Respect for Intellectual Property

RecollectKits respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects users of the Service to do the same. Kit photographs, descriptions, stories, and other content uploaded by users may depict designs, crests, logos, and trademarks owned by third parties, including football clubs, manufacturers, and leagues. Users are responsible for ensuring that content they upload does not infringe the copyrights of others.

7.2 DMCA Designated Agent

In accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. § 512 ("DMCA"), RecollectKits LLC has designated an agent to receive notifications of claimed copyright infringement. Notices should be sent to:

Email: dmca@recollectkits.com

Phone: +1 315-269-7550

7.3 Filing a Notification of Claimed Infringement ("Takedown Notice")

If you believe that content on the Service infringes your copyright, you may submit a written notification to our DMCA Agent. To be effective under 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3), your notification must include:

A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the copyright allegedly infringed;
Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or, if multiple works are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works;
Identification of the material claimed to be infringing and information reasonably sufficient to permit us to locate the material (for example, the URL of the kit listing or photograph);
Information reasonably sufficient to permit us to contact you, such as your name, address, telephone number, and email address;
A statement that you have a good-faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; and
A statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that you are authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the copyright allegedly infringed.

Please note that under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material is infringing may be liable for damages.

7.4 Our Response to Takedown Notices

Upon receipt of a valid takedown notice, RecollectKits will expeditiously remove or disable access to the identified material and will take reasonable steps to notify the user who uploaded it, including providing a copy of the notice.

7.5 Counter-Notification

If you believe your content was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification, you may submit a written counter-notification to our DMCA Agent. To be effective under 17 U.S.C. § 512(g)(3), your counter-notification must include:

Your physical or electronic signature;
Identification of the material that was removed or disabled and the location at which it appeared before removal;
A statement, under penalty of perjury, that you have a good-faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification; and
Your name, address, and telephone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for the judicial district in which your address is located (or, if outside the United States, the Western District of New York), and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the original notification or an agent of that person.

Upon receipt of a valid counter-notification, we will forward it to the original complaining party. Unless the complaining party notifies us that it has filed an action seeking a court order against the user, we may restore the removed material in not less than 10 and not more than 14 business days after receipt of the counter-notice.

7.6 Repeat Infringers

RecollectKits will, in appropriate circumstances, terminate the accounts of users who are determined to be repeat infringers.

7.7 Good-Faith Cataloging

Nothing in this section limits any user's rights under applicable law, including fair use. RecollectKits does not adjudicate copyright disputes; we follow the notice-and-takedown process described above and encourage rights holders and users to resolve disputes directly where possible.

8. Disclaimers About Platform Content

User-Generated Content:

RecollectKits is a platform for users to catalog and share information about football kits. All information submitted by users is user-generated and not verified by RecollectKits.

Authenticity of items cataloged by users
Value or appraisal of items
Completeness of the kit catalog

Not Professional Advice:

The Platform does not provide professional authentication, appraisal, or valuation services. Information on the Platform should not be relied upon for purchase decisions, authentication, or financial purposes.

Third-Party Content:

We are not responsible for content, accuracy, or opinions expressed by users or third parties.

9. Platform Availability and Modifications

The Platform is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. We do not guarantee:

Uninterrupted or error-free operation
Freedom from viruses or harmful components
Accuracy or reliability of content
That the Platform will meet your specific requirements

We reserve the right to:

Modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Platform at any time

RecollectKits offers a free plan and a paid Pro subscription. The terms governing subscriptions — pricing, billing, renewals, cancellations, and refunds — are set out in Section 10 (Subscriptions, Billing & Paid Services).

Maintenance:

The Platform may be unavailable during maintenance periods. We will attempt to provide advance notice when possible.

Force Majeure:

We are not liable for any failure or delay in providing the Platform caused by events beyond our reasonable control, including internet, hosting, or cloud-infrastructure outages, cyberattacks, strikes, acts of government, or natural disasters.

10. Subscriptions, Billing & Paid Services

10.1 Plans

RecollectKits offers a free plan and a paid subscription ("Pro"). The free plan includes unlimited kit cataloging, up to 3 photos per kit, 3 custom collections, and a wishlist of up to 10 kits. Pro includes expanded features, including up to 10 photos per kit, additional collections, and analytics, as described on our pricing page. Features included in each plan may evolve over time; material reductions to a paid plan's features will be handled as described in Section 10.10.

10.2 Pricing and Payment

Pro is offered at $9.99 per month or $99 per year (list prices), in U.S. dollars. Payments are processed by Stripe. For Pro subscriptions, Stripe acts as the merchant of record through Stripe Managed Payments: Stripe sells the subscription to you on our behalf and calculates, collects, and remits any applicable sales tax, VAT, or GST based on your location. Applicable taxes are shown at checkout and on your receipt. You authorize Stripe to charge your payment method on a recurring basis until you cancel.

10.3 Free Trial

New accounts receive a 14-day free trial of Pro. No payment method is required to start the trial. When the trial ends, your account continues on the free plan automatically unless you subscribe — we will not charge you for a trial you did not convert. If you subscribe during the trial, billing begins when the trial ends unless stated otherwise at checkout.

10.4 Renewal and Cancellation

Subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each billing period (monthly or annual) at the then-current price applicable to your subscription, subject to any price protection described in Section 10.6. You may cancel at any time through your account settings or Stripe's customer portal. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period; you retain Pro features until then. Except as provided in Section 10.5, payments are non-refundable and we do not provide prorated refunds for partial billing periods.

10.5 Refunds

If you are not satisfied with Pro, we offer a full refund of your first subscription payment if you request it within 14 days of that payment, by contacting us at billing@recollectkits.com. This refund right applies once per account and only to the first payment (monthly or annual, including Founding Collector). Renewal payments are not refundable except where required by law. If a Founding Collector subscription is refunded under this section, the associated founding number is released (Section 10.6). Nothing in this section limits any non-waivable refund or cancellation rights you may have under the laws of your place of residence.

10.6 Founding Collector

The Founding Collector offer is a limited annual Pro subscription available to the first 100 subscribers who claim it, priced at $49 per year. Founding Collector benefits are:

Price lock. Your annual price for the Pro plan remains $49 for as long as your Founding Collector subscription remains continuously active, even if the list price of Pro changes. The price lock applies to the Pro plan's subscription price only; it does not entitle you to future products, plans, or features beyond the Pro plan.
Numbered membership. Each Founding Collector receives a unique founding number (1–100), assigned at the time the offer is claimed.

Additional Founding Collector terms:

Claiming during a trial. If you claim a Founding Collector spot during your free trial, your founding number is reserved immediately and your first $49 payment is charged when your trial ends.
Upgrades. Monthly Pro subscribers may switch to a Founding Collector subscription while spots remain available.
Availability. Founding numbers are limited to 100 and are only assigned to paid subscriptions. Numbers released through refunds (Section 10.5) or lapses (below) may be made available again at our discretion.
Lapse and grace period. If a Founding Collector renewal payment fails, we will attempt to notify you, and you will have 30 days from the failed payment to update your payment method and renew at the locked price. If the subscription is not renewed within that period, the price lock ends and the founding number may be released. You may resubscribe to Pro afterward at then-current list prices.

10.7 Downgrades and Effect on Content

If your Pro subscription ends and your account returns to the free plan, content exceeding free plan limits is preserved, not deleted. For example, photos beyond the free limit of 3 per kit are locked (hidden from view) but retained, and are restored automatically if you resubscribe to Pro. We will never delete your cataloged kits, stories, or photos because of a downgrade. (Content may still be removed under other provisions of these Terms, such as Section 7.)

10.8 Complimentary Access

We may grant complimentary Pro access ("comps") at our discretion, for example to partners or contributors. Comps are time-limited unless stated otherwise, are not Founding Collector subscriptions, do not receive founding numbers, and may be modified or ended at our discretion.

10.9 Taxes

Because Stripe acts as the merchant of record for Pro subscriptions, Stripe determines, collects, and remits any sales tax, VAT, GST, or similar taxes that apply to your purchase, based on your location. Any such taxes are shown at checkout and on your receipt.

10.10 Changes to Plans and Pricing

We may change our plan features and prices from time to time. For paid subscriptions, price changes take effect at your next renewal, and we will give you advance notice of any price increase before it applies to you — except that Founding Collector subscriptions remain at their locked price per Section 10.6. If we materially reduce the features of a paid plan during your paid period, you may cancel and contact us for a pro-rata refund of the unused portion.

10.11 Failed Payments; Suspension

If a renewal payment fails (other than a Founding Collector renewal, which is governed by Section 10.6), we may retry the charge and notify you. If payment is not completed within a reasonable period, your account will revert to the free plan as described in Section 10.7. We do not charge late fees on subscriptions.

11. Limitation of Liability

To the Maximum Extent Permitted by Law:

RecollectKits and its operators shall not be liable for:

Exceptions:

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits our liability for fraud, willful misconduct, gross negligence, death or personal injury caused by our negligence, or any other liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law. Some jurisdictions do not allow the limitation of liability, so some of the above limitations may not apply to you.

12. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless RecollectKits and its operators from any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, and expenses (including attorney's fees) arising from:

Your violation of these Terms
Your violation of any applicable law
Your infringement or violation of any third-party rights, including intellectual property, privacy, or publicity rights
Content you submit to the Platform

13. Dispute Resolution

Governing Law:

These Terms shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York, United States, without regard to conflict of law principles.

Venue:

Any legal action or proceeding arising under these Terms shall be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in New York, and you consent to personal jurisdiction in those courts.

Informal Resolution:

Before filing any formal claim, you agree to contact us at hello@recollectkits.com to attempt to resolve the dispute informally.

Time Limit:

Any claim must be filed within one (1) year after the claim arose, or it will be permanently barred.

14. Export Control

You may not use or export anything from the Platform in violation of U.S. export laws and regulations.

15. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision shall be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.

16. Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and RecollectKits regarding your use of the Platform and supersede any prior agreements.

17. Waiver

Our failure to enforce any right or provision in these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision unless acknowledged and agreed to by us in writing.

18. Assignment

You may not assign or transfer these Terms or your account without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms without restriction.

19. Changes to Terms

We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. We will notify you of material changes by:

Posting the updated Terms on this page
Updating the "Last Updated" date
Sending email notification (for significant changes)

Your continued use of the Platform after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms. If you do not agree to the changes, you must stop using the Platform and may delete your account.
