Terms of Service

1. Agreement to these terms

These Terms of Service (the "Terms") are a binding agreement between you and ComboBroker ("ComboBroker," "we," "us," or "our") that governs your access to and use of the ComboBroker website at combobroker.com, including any subdomains, APIs, and related services (collectively, the "Service").

By accessing or using the Service you agree to these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you don't agree, don't use the Service.

2. Who can use the Service

You must be at least 13 years old to use ComboBroker. If you're between 13 and the age of majority where you live, you may only use the Service with the permission of a parent or legal guardian who agrees to these Terms on your behalf.

You must have the authority to enter into these Terms. If you're using the Service on behalf of a company or organization, you represent that you're authorized to bind that entity to these Terms.

3. Accounts

You don't need an account to browse public content on ComboBroker. You do need one to save combos, build product lists, save searches, or make a combo public under your name.

We use third-party sign-in (currently Google). You're responsible for keeping your sign-in credentials secure and for all activity that happens under your account. Notify us promptly at [email protected] if you suspect unauthorized access.

You can close your account at any time from your account settings. We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms or create risk for us or other users. See section 12.

4. The Service

ComboBroker is a comparison and combo-building tool for fishing gear. We aggregate product information from manufacturers and retailers, normalize it into structured specs, and let you filter, compare, save, and share combos.

We may add, change, or remove features at any time. We'll generally try not to ruin your day, but the Service is provided on an evolving basis and we don't promise that any particular feature will continue to exist.

5. Product information, pricing, and availability

Specs, prices, images, and availability shown on ComboBroker are pulled from third-party sources and may be incomplete, out of date, or wrong. Pricing in particular changes constantly. Nothing on ComboBroker is an offer to sell — the actual transaction happens on the retailer's website, under their terms.

Always confirm specs, fitment, compatibility, and price on the retailer's site before buying. We're not responsible for purchases made based on outdated or incorrect information on our Service.

6. Affiliate disclosure

ComboBroker participates in affiliate programs, including the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program and others. We may earn a commission when you click through to a retailer from ComboBroker and make a purchase. This costs you nothing extra and does not influence which products we show or how we rank them.

7. Your content

"Your Content" means combos you build, product lists you create, names and descriptions you provide, and anything else you submit to the Service. You retain ownership of Your Content.

By submitting Your Content you grant ComboBroker a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable license to host, store, reproduce, display, distribute, and create derivative works of Your Content for the purpose of operating and improving the Service. For combos you make public, this license also covers displaying the combo to other users and on shareable preview cards.

You represent that you have the rights necessary to grant this license and that Your Content does not violate any third-party rights or any law.

8. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• Use the Service for anything illegal, harmful, fraudulent, or deceptive.
• Scrape, mirror, or systematically extract content from the Service except as expressly permitted by an API we publish.
• Interfere with or disrupt the Service, including by sending excessive traffic, attempting to bypass rate limits, or probing for vulnerabilities without authorization.
• Reverse engineer or attempt to access the source code of the Service except where applicable law allows it.
• Upload Your Content that infringes intellectual property rights, defames anyone, or contains malware, spam, or anything obscene, harassing, or hateful.
• Impersonate another person or misrepresent your affiliation with anyone.
• Use the Service to compete directly with ComboBroker, including by extracting our normalized product data to power a competing product.

Security researchers acting in good faith are welcome — please contact [email protected] before testing.

9. Intellectual property

The Service — including the software, design, layouts, normalized spec schema, logos, and the ComboBroker name — is owned by ComboBroker and protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws. Nothing in these Terms grants you any right to use ComboBroker's branding without our written permission.

Third-party trademarks, product names, and product images displayed on the Service are the property of their respective owners. Use of those marks on ComboBroker does not imply endorsement or affiliation.

10. Copyright and DMCA notices

We respect intellectual property rights. If you believe content on the Service infringes your copyright, send a notice to our designated agent that includes:

1. Your physical or electronic signature.
2. Identification of the copyrighted work you claim is infringed.
3. The URL of the infringing material on ComboBroker.
4. Your contact information (address, phone, email).
5. A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use is not authorized.
6. A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on their behalf.

Send DMCA notices to [email protected] with subject line "DMCA Notice." Counter-notices follow the same address and the procedures set out in 17 U.S.C. § 512(g).

11. Third-party sites and services

The Service contains links to third-party websites, including retailer product pages, manufacturer sites, and social platforms. We don't control these sites and we're not responsible for their content, privacy practices, or anything they do or fail to do. Your dealings with third parties are between you and them.

12. Suspension and termination

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service, delete Your Content, or close your account if we reasonably believe you violated these Terms, created risk or legal exposure for us or others, or if we're required to by law. Where practical we'll give you notice first.

You can stop using the Service and delete your account at any time. The sections of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination — including the IP, license, disclaimer, liability, indemnification, and dispute resolution sections — will continue to apply.

13. Disclaimers

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, COMBOBROKER DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, secure, error-free, or that product specs, prices, or availability shown on the Service will be accurate, complete, or current. You use the Service and rely on its content at your own risk.

14. Limitation of liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, COMBOBROKER AND ITS OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, USE, GOODWILL, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE, EVEN IF WE'VE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

IN ANY CASE, OUR TOTAL LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE SERVICE OR THESE TERMS IS LIMITED TO THE GREATER OF (A) ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS ($100) OR (B) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US, IF ANY, IN THE TWELVE MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM AROSE.

Some jurisdictions don't allow exclusion of certain warranties or limitation of certain liabilities. In those jurisdictions, the exclusions and limitations above apply to the maximum extent permitted by law.

15. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless ComboBroker and its officers, employees, and agents from any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or related to (a) your use of the Service, (b) Your Content, (c) your violation of these Terms, or (d) your violation of any law or third-party right.

16. Governing law and venue

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas, United States, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. Subject to the arbitration section below, the state and federal courts located in Travis County, Texas have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute that isn't subject to arbitration, and you consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts.

17. Dispute resolution and arbitration

Please read this section carefully. It affects your legal rights, including your right to bring a lawsuit in court.

You and ComboBroker agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or related to these Terms or the Service (a "Dispute") will be resolved by binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, rather than in court, except that either party may bring an individual claim in small-claims court if it qualifies.

Class action waiver. You and ComboBroker each agree that Disputes will be brought only in an individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any class, collective, or representative action.

Opt-out. You can opt out of this arbitration agreement by sending written notice to [email protected] within 30 days of first accepting these Terms. Include your name, the email associated with your account, and a clear statement that you want to opt out of arbitration.

18. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we'll update the "Last updated" date at the top of the page. For material changes we'll provide more prominent notice (an in-app banner or an email to your account address) at least 7 days before the changes take effect. Continued use of the Service after changes take effect means you accept the updated Terms.

19. Miscellaneous

• Entire agreement. These Terms and the Privacy Policy are the entire agreement between you and ComboBroker about the Service.
• Severability. If any part of these Terms is held unenforceable, the rest stays in effect.
• No waiver. Our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of that provision.
• Assignment. You can't assign these Terms without our written consent. We can assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.
• No agency. These Terms don't create any partnership, employment, or agency relationship.
• Notices. We may send notices to the email associated with your account or post them on the Service.
