The boring parts.
The full terms. Written to be read, not scrolled past. Last updated November 2026.
1 · Who this is between
- These Terms are an agreement between you and Pokébot ("we", "us"), a one-person shop run by a collector.
- Contact: support@pokebot.example. If you use the service, you accept these Terms.
2 · What Pokébot does
- We monitor public product pages for stock changes and send restock alerts by email and push notification.
- We check stores only in ways their terms allow: official feeds first, robots.txt honored, polite rate limits.
- We never ask for store logins and never check behind logins, paywalls, or captchas.
3 · Accounts
- You need an account to use paid features. Give us a real email. It is where your alerts go.
- One account per person. Keep your password to yourself. You are responsible for what happens on your account.
4 · Plans and billing
- Coverage is sold in fixed time frames: 30 days for $5, 3 months for $13.50, 6 months for $27, 1 year for $54. USD only.
- Paid features unlock after checkout: setup, watches, push, price history, and auto-buy.
- Linking a card and turning on auto-buy authorizes charges up to your per-item max and your monthly cap. Nothing else is ever charged.
- Coverage does not auto-renew. Buy a new window when yours lapses.
- Watches stay live until the end of the paid window.
5 · Refunds
- All sales are one-time for a fixed coverage window. Full refund within the first 14 days, nothing after.
- If we shut the service down, everyone gets a pro-rated refund. That has not happened yet.
6 · Alerts are best-effort
- We cannot promise you will beat other buyers to a restock. We promise you will know at the same time we do.
- Median alert delay is measured from our last check, not from the store's own stock change.
- Check cadence depends on your plan and on vendor cooperation. Some vendors block checkers. We do not fight blocks.
7 · Fair use
- Do not resell the feed, share one account across a group, or hammer the site with automated requests.
- Do not use alerts to run checkout bots against small shops. That behavior gets accounts closed.
- We may pause or close accounts that abuse the service or the stores we monitor, with or without warning.
8 · Your content
- Your watchlists, ZIP codes, and settings are yours. We use them only to run the service.
- Do not submit content you do not have the right to share.
9 · Intellectual property
- Pokébot, the logo, and the site design are ours. Store names, product names, and SKUs belong to their owners.
- We are not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by Nintendo, Creatures, GAME FREAK, Pokémon Center, Target, Walmart, Costco, GameStop, Best Buy, Amazon, or any monitored store.
10 · Privacy, in brief
- We store the minimum: your email, your watches, your alert history. No ad tracking, no data brokers.
- We never sell personal data. We share it only with the providers needed to run the service (email delivery, push delivery, payments), and only what they need.
- You can export or delete everything from your account page. Deletion is permanent and takes up to 30 days across backups.
11 · Third parties
- Listings link out to third-party stores. Their terms, prices, and stock are their business, not ours.
- Payment processing is handled by our payments provider. We never see or store full card numbers.
12 · Changes to the service
- We ship often. Features may change, pause, or disappear. Paid features that disappear get pro-rated credit or refunds.
- If a vendor blocks us for good, affected watches are paused and you are told why.
13 · Changes to these terms
- We post updates here with a new date and, for material changes, email you first.
- Continuing to use Pokébot after changes take effect means you accept them.
14 · Disclaimers
- The service is provided as is, without warranties of any kind, express or implied.
- Missed restocks, delayed alerts, wrong prices, sold-out checkouts: painful, but not something we can compensate beyond section 5.
15 · Limitation of liability
- To the maximum extent the law allows, our total liability for any claim is capped at what you paid us in the 12 months before the claim.
- We are not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages, including missed purchases and resale profits that never happened.
16 · Indemnification
- If your use of the service breaks the law or these Terms and someone comes after us for it, you cover our reasonable costs.
17 · Governing law
- These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to conflict-of-law rules.
- Disputes go first to good-faith negotiation by email, then to binding arbitration if email fails. No class actions.
18 · Termination
- You can leave anytime by canceling and deleting your account.
- Paid time left is refunded pro-rata when we terminate without cause.
19 · Contact
- Support, takedowns, partnerships, complaints: support@pokebot.example. A human (one specific human) reads everything.
