These Terms of Service (“Terms”) are a binding legal agreement between you and 17795386 Canada Inc. (“Vaulted”, “we”, “us”, or “our”), the operator of the Vaulted service.
The “Services” means the Vaulted website, mobile applications, and any related features, tools, content, and services we make available, including the Vaulted catalogue of vintage football shirts, listing aggregation, identification tools, and personal vault functionality.
By accessing or using the Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to these Terms, you may not access or use the Services.
Vaulted is a catalogue, identification, and collection management service for vintage football shirts and related collectibles. Through the Services, you can search a structured catalogue of jerseys, use AI-powered photo recognition to identify shirts, manage your personal collection in your Vault, view market value and price history data, and set price alerts. The Services may also display reference information about where an item in the catalogue can be found from independent third-party sellers, with links that take you to the seller's own website.
Vaulted is not a marketplace, broker, agent, retailer, payment processor, or party to any transaction between you and any seller. Transactions are conducted directly between you and the relevant seller on the seller’s own platform, subject to that seller’s terms. Everything you buy, you buy somewhere else: Vaulted itself sells nothing and processes no payments.
Identification results, market values, price histories, and authenticity opinions provided through the Services are informational tools only
You must be at least sixteen (16) years old, or the minimum age of digital consent in your jurisdiction (whichever is higher), to use the Services.
In jurisdictions where applicable law would otherwise require parental or guardian consent for a minor to create an online account or use a service like Vaulted, you must be at least eighteen (18) years old to use the Services.
By using the Services, you represent and warrant that you meet these age requirements and that you have the legal capacity to enter into these Terms. If we learn that we have collected personal information from a user who does not meet these age requirements, we will delete that information and terminate the account.
You may access portions of the Services without creating an account, including browsing the public catalogue and using the shirt identification feature. Certain features, including the personal vault, and submissions for authenticity review, require you to register an account.
When you register an account, you agree to:
You may not register more than one account per person without our written consent. You may not transfer your account to any other person.
You may delete your account at any time through the in-app settings. Upon deletion, your access to account-restricted features will end. See Section 11 (Termination) for details on what happens to your Content upon termination.
The Services may display reference information about shirts and related items available from independent third-party sellers (each, a “Seller”), such as the Seller’s name, an indication that an item is or was available from that Seller, and a link to the Seller’s own website. This information is displayed for reference only. Vaulted does not host any purchase, checkout, basket, or payment functionality, does not transmit orders, is not the merchant of record, and does not act for either party in any transaction.
You acknowledge and agree that:
Some listings or Seller references displayed through the Services may originate from Offside Boys, a vintage football shirts retailer operating in Toronto, Ontario, Canada (offsideboys.com and 615 College Street). The founder and operators of Vaulted have an ownership and operational relationship with Offside Boys.
References to items from Offside Boys are subject to the same display rules, ranking criteria, and editorial standards as references from any other Seller. We do not artificially boost, prioritize, or favorably represent Offside Boys items within the Services. The ranking and display criteria we apply are the same for all Sellers and are not influenced by the ownership relationship described above. We disclose this relationship in the interest of transparency, and we encourage you to consider this disclosure when reviewing any item referenced from Offside Boys.
We may, from time to time, partner with or have commercial relationships with other Sellers. Where such relationships are material, we will disclose them at the listing level or in updates to these Terms. If Vaulted ever earns a commission, referral fee, or other compensation in connection with any Seller, we will disclose that relationship clearly at the point where it is relevant to your decision.
“Content” means any photos, text, descriptions, vault entries, or other material you submit to or through the Services.
You retain ownership of your Content. You are solely responsible for your Content and for the consequences of submitting it.
By submitting Content, you represent and warrant that:
The license you grant us depends on the type of Content you submit.
Private Vault Content. All photos and images you upload (including those you submit when requesting an authenticity review, and those you submit for a shirt that is not yet in our catalogue) are treated as Private Vault Content. You grant Vaulted a limited, non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide license to host, store, reproduce, and process this Content solely for the purpose of providing the Services to you, including carrying out any review you request and performing the operational AI processing described in Section 6.3. We do not publish your photos in the public catalogue or display them to other users. This license terminates when you delete the Content from your vault or delete your account, except that (a) we may retain copies for up to thirty (30) days following deletion solely to complete the deletion process described in our Privacy Policy; (b) where a photo is fully de-identified as described in our Privacy Policy, the license continues for the de-identified image, which no longer identifies you; and (c) we may retain Content longer where required by law.
We use AI and machine learning to operate the Services, for example to identify a shirt you scan, including processing performed by third-party providers on our behalf. This operational use is necessary to provide the Services.
Vaulted may, at its sole discretion, review, accept, reject, modify, or remove any Content you submit. We may also flag Content as pending review, reviewed, or any other status we deem appropriate.
Review statuses, identification results, and authenticity opinions are informational only. The presence of a “reviewed” status on a shirt in your Vault reflects our good-faith assessment based on the information available, and does not constitute a legal certification, authentication, or guarantee of authenticity, condition, or value. This applies equally to any best-effort authenticity opinion we provide at your request: it is an informational opinion based on photographs and available references, not professional authentication, appraisal, or advice, and you should not make purchase, sale, or valuation decisions in reliance on it. Section 10.1 contains the full disclaimer.
You agree not to do any of the following:
For clarity, submitting a shirt for authenticity review in good faith, including a shirt that you are uncertain about, is an expected and permitted use of the Services and does not violate these Terms. The prohibition above relates only to deliberate misrepresentation of known counterfeits as authentic.
We may, in our sole discretion, take any action we deem appropriate in response to a violation or suspected violation of these Terms, including issuing warnings, removing Content, suspending or terminating accounts, restricting access to features, or refusing service. We may also report suspected illegal activity to appropriate authorities.
The Services, including the Vaulted name and logo, the Vaulted catalogue structure, the software, design, text, graphics, and other content created by Vaulted (excluding User Content and third-party Seller listings), are owned by Vaulted or its licensors and are protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws.
We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access and use the Services for your personal, non-commercial use, subject to these Terms. This license does not include the right to copy, modify, distribute, sell, or commercially exploit any part of the Services, except as expressly permitted.
All rights not expressly granted to you are reserved by Vaulted.
The Vaulted catalogue and the Services include content sourced from third parties, including product images and reference data licensed to us by partner Sellers, and links to (or displays of) content hosted on Sellers' own websites. This third-party content remains the property of its respective owners and, where licensed to us, is used under the terms of those licences. We display this content for informational and reference purposes within the Services and identify the source where reasonably practicable.
Photographs displayed in the Services may depict trademarks, club crests, and designs owned by clubs, leagues, sponsors, or manufacturers; these appear solely as part of the factual depiction and identification of the physical items shown, and nothing in the Services implies any affiliation with or endorsement by those rights holders.
We rely on Sellers and other content sources to make their content available to us in compliance with applicable law. If you are the owner of content displayed in the Services and believe it is being used without authorization, please refer to our Copyright Notice and Takedown Policy for the procedure to submit a takedown request. We will respond to valid notices in accordance with that Policy.
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Vaulted, its parent, affiliates (including Offside Boys), and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents, contractors, and licensors (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all third-party claims, demands, actions, proceedings, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or related to:
This Section 9 does not apply to claims arising from our own breach of these Terms, our violation of applicable law, or our negligence or willful misconduct, and it does not limit any rights you have under applicable consumer protection law that cannot be limited by agreement.
We reserve the right, at our own expense, to assume the exclusive defence and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you, in which case you agree to cooperate with our defence.
The Services are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis, without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, statutory, or otherwise, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.
Without limiting the foregoing, we expressly disclaim any and all warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, title, accuracy, completeness, reliability, and any warranties arising from course of dealing or usage of trade.
We do not warrant that the Services will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, free of viruses or other harmful components, or that any defects will be corrected. We make no warranty regarding the accuracy, authenticity, condition, availability, pricing, or quality of any shirt or item listed or referenced through the Services, or regarding any Seller or transaction.
Identification, valuation, market value and price history data, and authenticity review tools provided through the Services are intended as informational aids only and do not constitute professional authentication, appraisal, or financial advice. They are estimates and opinions produced from photographs, catalogue data, and publicly available information, using automated systems and best-effort human review, and they can be wrong. You agree that you will not rely on them as the basis for any purchase, sale, valuation, insurance, or investment decision, and that if you need a definitive answer about authenticity or value you must obtain advice from a qualified professional authenticator or appraiser. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the Indemnified Parties will not be liable for any loss arising from reliance on any identification result, market value, price history, review status, or authenticity opinion provided through the Services.
Nothing in these Terms excludes, restricts, or modifies any condition, warranty, right, or remedy that applies to you under the Consumer Protection Act, 2002 (Ontario), the Consumer Protection Act (Quebec), or other applicable consumer protection legislation, to the extent it cannot lawfully be excluded, restricted, or modified by agreement.
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, in no event will the Indemnified Parties be liable to you for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, punitive, or exemplary damages, including damages for loss of profits, goodwill, data, business opportunity, or other intangible losses, arising out of or related to your access to or use of, or your inability to access or use, the Services, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the total aggregate liability of the Indemnified Parties arising out of or related to these Terms or your use of the Services, regardless of the form of action or basis of liability, will not exceed the greater of (a) one hundred Canadian dollars (CAD $100); and (b) the total amount of fees you have paid to Vaulted in the twelve (12) months immediately preceding the event giving rise to the liability.
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages. To the extent such law applies, some or all of the above exclusions or limitations may not apply to you, and you may have additional rights. Nothing in this Section limits liability that cannot be limited under applicable law, including liability for our own fraud or willful misconduct, or your non-waivable rights under applicable consumer protection legislation.
You may terminate your account at any time by deleting it through the in-app settings or by contacting us at the address in Section 15.
Upon termination, your access to your private vault and account-restricted features will end. We will delete or anonymize your account-specific personal data, including your uploaded photos, in accordance with our Privacy Policy.
We may suspend, terminate, or restrict your access to all or part of the Services at any time, with or without notice, in our sole discretion, including for:
We may also remove, modify, or refuse to display any Content at any time, with or without notice, in our sole discretion.
Sections that by their nature should survive termination (including Section 8, 9, 10, 13, and 14) will survive termination of these Terms.
We may modify these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we will provide at least thirty (30) days’ notice before the changes take effect by posting the updated Terms on our website and through other reasonable means, which may include in-app notification or email to your registered address.
Your continued use of the Services after the effective date of the updated Terms constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms. If you do not agree to the updated Terms, you must stop using the Services and may terminate your account before the effective date.
Non-material changes (such as clarifications, corrections of typographical errors, or updates to contact information) may take effect immediately upon posting.
These Terms, and any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Services (whether in contract, tort, or otherwise), are governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein, without regard to conflict of laws principles.
The parties agree that the courts located in Toronto, Ontario, Canada will have exclusive jurisdiction over any action, suit, or proceeding arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Services. Each party irrevocably submits to the personal jurisdiction of those courts and waives any objection to venue therein.
If you are a consumer, this Section does not deprive you of any mandatory consumer protections, or of the right to bring or defend proceedings in the courts of your province or territory of residence, where the law of that province or territory grants you that right notwithstanding the choice of law and forum above. If you reside in Quebec, you may also have the right to proceed in Quebec courts and to the protections of Quebec law.
Nothing in this Section limits either party’s right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to protect its intellectual property rights, confidential information, or to enforce a judgment.
These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy and any other policies expressly incorporated by reference, constitute the entire agreement between you and Vaulted regarding the Services and supersede all prior or contemporaneous understandings, communications, and agreements, whether written or oral.
If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, that provision will be modified to the minimum extent necessary to be enforceable, and the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect.
Our failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not be deemed a waiver of that right or provision. Any waiver must be in writing and signed by an authorized representative of Vaulted.
You may not assign or transfer your rights or obligations under these Terms without our prior written consent. We may assign or transfer our rights and obligations under these Terms at any time, including in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, sale of assets, or other change of control.
You and Vaulted are independent contractors. Nothing in these Terms creates an agency, partnership, joint venture, employment, or franchise relationship between you and Vaulted.
Notices to you may be given by email, in-app notification, or posting on our website. Notices to us must be sent to the contact address in Section 15.
Section headings are for convenience only and do not affect the interpretation of these Terms.
