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.
