Terms of Service

By signing up for or using Scraplift, you agree to these terms. If you don't agree, don't use the service.

1. The service

Scraplift is a tool for scrap-metal haulers to identify metals, see yard prices in their area, track loads, and reconcile weigh tickets. It is also a tool for scrap-yard operators to publish their daily prices. We do not buy or sell scrap metal ourselves and we are not a party to any transaction between a hauler and a yard.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old and able to enter a binding contract. By creating an account you confirm both.

3. Your account

• You are responsible for the activity on your account. Don't share your password, OTP codes, or refresh tokens.
• One person, one account. Don't impersonate someone else.
• If you operate a yard listing, you confirm you are authorized to do so on behalf of that business. Bad-faith claims will be revoked.

4. Pricing data is provided "as is"

• Yard prices come from yard operators (when self-published) or from manual updates by our team. We don't guarantee they're correct, current, or honored at the scale.
• "Above market" / "Below market" badges are computed from public LME spot prices and typical scrap-recovery percentages. They are estimates, not promises about what a yard will actually pay.
• Lens classifications and weight estimates from photos are best-effort. Always confirm at the scale.
• You alone are responsible for what you bring to a yard and what you accept as payment.

5. Pro subscription (when launched)

• Pricing: $19/month or $159/year, with a 7-day free trial. Cancel anytime.
• Trials don't auto-bill until day 8. After that, charges renew on the cycle you picked. We'll never surprise-charge.
• Refunds for accidental renewals: contact us within 14 days.
• Billing is handled by Stripe; their terms also apply to the payment portion.

6. What you may not do

• Don't post fake yard prices, fake yard listings, or fake claim ownership of a listing you don't operate.
• Don't scrape, mass-download, or resell our pricing data. (You can export your own loads as CSV.)
• Don't use the service to harass other users or yards.
• Don't try to break our security or impersonate Scraplift in any messaging.

7. Yard operators specifically

• Free during pilot. We may introduce paid placement features later; we'll notify you before any change.
• Update your prices honestly. Recurring large discrepancies between published prices and actual paid amounts (as flagged by haulers' weigh-ticket scans) may result in your listing being suspended.
• You may delete your account or unclaim your listing at any time via the yard portal or by emailing us.

8. Intellectual property

• The Scraplift app, brand, code, and pricing database are ours.
• Photos and loads you upload remain yours. By uploading, you grant us a license to process and anonymize them so the service can run and improve.

9. Disclaimers and limits

• The service is provided "as is" without warranty.
• We are not liable for missed payouts, wrong identifications, yard disputes, or business decisions you make based on app data.
• Our total liability to you in any 12-month period will not exceed the greater of $100 or what you paid us in that period.

10. Termination

You can stop using and delete your account anytime in Settings. We can suspend or terminate accounts that violate these terms, with or without notice.

11. Changes

If we change these terms, we'll update the "Last updated" date and, for material changes, give you at least 14 days' notice in-app.

12. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of New York, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles. Any dispute will be resolved in the state or federal courts located in Suffolk County, NY.
