Terms of Service

Effective date: October 22, 2026

1. Acceptance of these terms

These Terms of Service (the "Terms") are an agreement between you and ScentSpin ("ScentSpin", "we", "us"), operated from San Francisco, California. They cover the ScentSpin website, accounts, emails and any related services (together, the "Service").

By creating an account, subscribing, signing in, or otherwise using the Service, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you don't agree, please don't use the Service.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old to use ScentSpin. The Service is a tool for buying goods on other marketplaces, and those marketplaces require adult accounts. By using the Service you confirm that you are 18 or older and legally able to enter into this agreement.

3. What ScentSpin does

ScentSpin is a deal finder for fragrance collectors. On a schedule, it:

• reads public listings from third-party marketplaces and auction sites, with more sources added over time;
• compares each listing's price with what the item typically sells for, using public price history, realized auction prices and our own rules;
• sends listing photos and titles to an AI vision model (Anthropic's Claude) to identify bottles, estimate fill level and flag likely problems;
• shows you the results and links you to the original listing on the marketplace.

What ScentSpin does not do: we do not sell fragrances, hold inventory, place bids, take payment for items, ship anything, or act as a party to any purchase. Every transaction happens on the marketplace, between you and the seller, under that marketplace's terms.

We're improving ScentSpin all the time, so features may be added, changed or removed.

4. Accounts

Free account. You need a free account to open finds at the store. You create one with your email address; there is no password. We sign you in on that device right away and email you a link that confirms the address and signs you in on other devices. Sign-in links are personal: don't forward or share them.

Your responsibility. One account per person. You're responsible for everything done through your account and for keeping access to your email secure. Tell us right away if you think someone else has used your account.

Accuracy. Use an email address you own, and keep your information accurate and current. We can refuse, suspend or close an account at our discretion, for example to stop abuse.

Email list. If you joined our earlier email list (the waitlist), we use your address only to send ScentSpin updates, as described in the Privacy Policy. Every email has a one-click unsubscribe.

5. Acceptable use

ScentSpin is meant to be used by a person, through the interface we provide, for their own buying decisions. You agree not to:

• scrape, crawl, or bulk-download the Service or its data, or access it with automated tools, bots or scripts other than an ordinary web browser;
• resell, sublicense, share or otherwise redistribute access to the Service, its deal feed or its data to anyone else, including by republishing our scores or alerts;
• circumvent or attempt to circumvent access controls, rate limits, plan limits or any usage restriction, including by creating extra accounts;
• reverse-engineer the Service or use it to build a competing product;
• use the Service to break any marketplace's terms, to harass sellers, to commit fraud, or for any unlawful purpose;
• interfere with the Service or place an unreasonable load on it.

If you break these rules we may suspend or terminate your access without notice.

6. Retailers, marketplaces and affiliate links

Retailers and marketplaces. Offers shown in ScentSpin belong to the retailers, marketplaces and sellers who posted them. When you click through, you leave ScentSpin and are bound by that site's terms, policies and fees. We have no control over listings, sellers, prices, availability, shipping, returns or disputes, and we're not responsible for any of them. Comply with each marketplace's rules; if your marketplace account is limited or closed, that's between you and the marketplace.

Affiliate disclosure. Links to offers on ScentSpin, on the site and in our emails, go through our own redirect and many are affiliate (partner) links. If you click one and make a purchase, we may earn a commission from the retailer or marketplace, paid through its partner program or an affiliate network (for example Rakuten Advertising, CJ or impact.com). This does not change the price you pay. Commissions never affect which offers we show or how we score and rank them: a find is shown because of its price and the trust checks it passed, whether or not a commission exists. Coupon codes we show come from the retailer or its partner program. This applies to free and paid accounts alike. We record that a link was opened so we can measure the Service; see the Privacy Policy.

Trademarks. Fragrance house, retailer and marketplace names are the trademarks of their respective owners. Naming a retailer means we link to its offers, not that it endorses or sponsors ScentSpin.

7. Free browsing and paid plans

Free browsing and free accounts ("Browse"). Anyone can browse the finds without an account; signed-out visitors see a preview of the feed, with some finds shown locked. The free feed is deliberately delayed: finds appear there about two hours after our scanner surfaces them (the exact delay is shown on the plan page and may change). Opening a find at the store requires a free account, and the free plan includes a monthly allowance of store visits; after that, the plan page explains the options. Saved finds on the free plan are stored in your browser only, up to five at a time, and are not synced or backed up.

Plans. We offer the following plans. The plan page shows current prices and limits; where it differs from this section, the plan page wins.

• Browse (free; a free account is needed to open finds at the store): the feed about two hours behind, a monthly allowance of store visits (opening a find at the store; currently 10, plus one extra pass a month), one watch with email alerts, a few saved finds on your device and a monthly allowance of listing checks.
• Collector (monthly or yearly): the feed without the delay, unlimited store visits, unlimited saved finds tied to your account with price-drop alerts, a daily email digest, up to 25 watches with email alerts (including a target price), and listing checks without a monthly allowance (fair use). A launch price, where offered, stays in place for as long as your subscription continues without a break.
• Pro (monthly or yearly, when it opens): everything in Collector, unlimited watches, faster alert delivery to your phone where offered, a hunt list for discontinued and rare bottles, and estimated prices after cashback and discounted gift cards where we can find them. Features are described on the pricing page when Pro opens.

Limits. Watches, alerts, saves and similar features have plan limits; we may enforce them automatically and may adjust them with notice. Alerts and the digest are sent by email on a best-effort basis; delivery times are targets, not guarantees, and depend on your email provider.

• Billing. Subscription fees are billed in advance for each billing period (monthly or yearly) and renew automatically until you cancel.
• Cancelling. You can cancel a subscription at any time from the billing page (the Billing link on the site, run by Stripe) or by email. Your access continues until the end of the period you've already paid for, then drops to free browsing. Your saved finds stay in your account for 90 days after that.
• Refunds. We don't refund partial periods or unused time, except where the law requires it.
• Price changes. We'll give you at least 30 days' notice by email before a subscription price change takes effect. If you don't want to pay the new price, cancel before it starts. A launch price is kept for as long as your subscription continues without a break.
• Payments. Payments are handled by Stripe, our payment processor, under its own terms. We don't see or store your full card number.
• Taxes. Prices exclude any applicable sales tax or VAT, which will be added where required.

8. Disclaimers

Estimates are estimates. Every price, typical-price estimate, discount figure, fill-level reading, condition or authenticity flag and "deal" label in ScentSpin is an automated estimate built from public data, our scoring rules and an AI model's reading of listing photos. Any of them can be wrong, stale or based on a misdescribed listing. They are not appraisals, financial advice or a promise of any outcome.

Verify before you buy. Listings may be counterfeit, mislabeled, damaged, partially used, or described inaccurately by the seller, and the AI may misread them. You are solely responsible for inspecting a listing, judging authenticity, asking the seller questions and deciding whether to bid or buy. Any loss from a purchase is yours.

As is. The Service is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, non-infringement and uninterrupted or error-free operation. We don't warrant that any listing will still be available, that any listing will turn out to be a good deal, or that the Service will meet your needs.

9. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, ScentSpin and its owner will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for any lost profits, lost revenue, lost data or purchase losses, arising out of or related to the Service or any listing it displays, even if we've been told such damages are possible.

Our total liability to you for any claim arising out of or related to these Terms or the Service is limited to the greater of (a) the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim, or (b) US $50.

Some jurisdictions don't allow certain limitations, so parts of this section may not apply to you. Nothing here limits liability that can't be limited by law.

10. Termination

You can stop using the Service at any time, and can ask us to delete your data as described in the Privacy Policy. We may suspend or end your access at any time, with or without notice, if you break these Terms, if we're required to by law, or if we discontinue the Service. Sections 6, 8, 9, 12 and any other terms that by their nature should survive will survive termination.

11. Changes to these terms

We may update these Terms as the product grows. When we make a material change we'll update the effective date above and, if you have an account or are on our email list, let you know by email or a notice on the site. Continuing to use the Service after a change takes effect means you accept the new Terms.

12. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, USA, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute that can't be resolved informally will be brought in the state or federal courts located in San Francisco County, California, and you consent to their jurisdiction. Before filing anything, please email us; most problems can be sorted out with a conversation.
