Effective Date: May 20, 2026

Welcome to Curbfind ("we", "us", or "our"). By accessing or using our website and services (collectively, the "Platform"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Use ("Terms") and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the Platform. These Terms apply to all users in Canada and the United States.

1. Acceptance of Terms

By creating an account, browsing the Platform, or submitting any content, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agreed to these Terms and our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated by reference. If you are accessing the Platform on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have the authority to bind that organization to these Terms.

2. Eligibility & Children's Privacy (COPPA/PIPEDA)

You must be at least 13 years of age to use the Platform. In compliance with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and Canada's PIPEDA, we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we become aware that a user is under 13, we will promptly delete their account and associated data. If you are between 13 and the age of majority in your jurisdiction, you must have the consent of a parent or legal guardian to use the Platform.

3. User Accounts

To access certain features, you must create an account. You agree to:

• Provide accurate, current, and complete information during registration and keep it updated.
• Keep your login credentials confidential and not share them with any third party.
• Notify us immediately at support@curbfind.ca if you suspect any unauthorized access to your account.
• Accept full responsibility for all activity that occurs under your account, whether authorized by you or not.

4. Google Sign-In & Third-Party Authentication

You may create or link your Curbfind account using your Google account via OAuth 2.0. By doing so, you acknowledge and agree that:

• We receive limited profile data from Google (your email address and display name) solely to create and manage your account. We do not receive your Google password.
• Your Curbfind account email must match your Google account email when linking an existing account.
• Your use of Google Sign-In is governed by Google's Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. We are not responsible for Google's data collection or processing practices.

5. Location Data

Certain features — such as displaying items near you and posting an item on the map — require access to your device's location. Precise geolocation is considered sensitive personal information under applicable law (including COPPA 2026 amendments and CCPA/CPRA). By granting location permission, you understand and agree that:

• Your location is processed locally on your device to search for nearby items. It is transmitted to our servers only at the moment you post an item, to store the item's fixed coordinates on the map.
• We do not continuously track, log, or sell your location. Once an item is posted, only its fixed map coordinates are stored — not your ongoing whereabouts.
• You may deny or revoke location access at any time in your browser or device settings. Some features will be unavailable without it. We will never require location access beyond what is strictly necessary for these core functions.

6. Data & Privacy

Your privacy is a priority. We collect and process only what is necessary to operate the Platform. For Canadian users, we comply with PIPEDA. For California residents, we comply with CCPA/CPRA. Our full Privacy Policy is available in the Help Center.

• We store only your email address, username, avatar, and account metadata (creation date, last login). Your email is private and never displayed publicly on the Platform.
• We do not sell, rent, trade, or share your personal information with third parties for their own marketing purposes.
• We use cookies and browser local storage to manage your session and remember preferences (e.g., language, distance unit). Third-party services such as Google Analytics and advertising partners may also set cookies subject to their own privacy policies.
• You have the right to request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal data at any time. You may delete your account and all associated data directly from your Settings page, or by contacting us at support@curbfind.ca.

7. User-Generated Content & Public Posts

Curbfind allows users to post items, photos, descriptions, and other content ("User Content"). By submitting User Content, you agree that:

• You grant Curbfind a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide, sublicensable license to host, store, display, reproduce, and distribute your User Content solely to operate and promote the Platform.
• You represent and warrant that you own or have all necessary rights to post the content, and that it does not infringe any third-party rights including copyright, trademark, or privacy rights.
• Curbfind reserves the right to remove or modify any User Content — including usernames, item names, descriptions, and photos — at its sole discretion, at any time and without notice. This includes content that violates these Terms, our community guidelines, applicable law, or that Curbfind otherwise deems offensive, inappropriate, or harmful to the community.
• You are solely responsible for any content you post. Curbfind is not a publisher and is not liable for any User Content posted by you or any other user.

8. Public Profile & Information Visibility

By creating an account and using the Platform, you understand how your information appears to others:

• Your username and avatar (profile picture) are public and visible to all users and unauthenticated visitors. Choose a username that you are comfortable sharing publicly.
• Items you post on the map — including photos, titles, descriptions, and approximate post location — are publicly visible to all users.
• Your email address is strictly private and is never displayed on the Platform. No other personal data beyond your username and avatar is shared publicly.

9. Free Items Only & Platform Role

Curbfind is exclusively a platform for the free sharing of items. By using the Platform, you agree that:

• All items listed on the Platform must be offered completely free of charge. Listing items for sale, payment, trade, or barter of any kind is strictly prohibited and may result in immediate account termination.
• Curbfind acts solely as a neutral intermediary connecting people who wish to give away items with people who wish to receive them. We are not a party to any transaction or exchange between users, and we make no representations regarding the quality, safety, legality, or condition of any item listed.
• We are not responsible for any disputes, damages, injuries, or losses arising from items exchanged through the Platform. Users interact and transact entirely at their own risk.

10. Real-World Safety Disclaimer

Picking up items may involve real-world interactions and visits to locations listed by other users. Curbfind does not verify the accuracy of listed locations, conduct background checks on users, or monitor item conditions. You acknowledge and accept that:

• Items listed on the Platform are left in public spaces and are available on an "as-is" basis. We make no warranty about their safety, condition, or fitness for any purpose. Inspect items carefully before picking them up.
• We strongly recommend exercising personal caution, visiting pickup locations during daylight hours, and bringing a companion if you are unsure about a location.
• Curbfind is not liable for any injury, property damage, theft, or loss arising from your use of the Platform or your interactions with items or other users.

11. Prohibited Conduct

You agree not to use the Platform to:

• List items that are illegal, stolen, hazardous, dangerous, or completely unusable (e.g., biohazardous waste, firearms, controlled substances, recalled products).
• Sell, trade, or request payment for items in any form. All listings must be completely free.
• Harass, threaten, stalk, defame, or abuse any other user.
• Post false, misleading, or fraudulent content, or impersonate any person or entity.
• Use bots, scrapers, crawlers, or any automated tools to access or collect data from the Platform without prior written consent.
• Attempt to interfere with, circumvent, or gain unauthorized access to the Platform, its servers, or any connected systems.
• Upload content containing malware, viruses, spyware, ransomware, or any other harmful or disruptive code.
• Post offensive, obscene, sexually explicit (NSFW), hateful, discriminatory, or otherwise inappropriate content — including in usernames, item names, descriptions, or photos — as determined at Curbfind's sole discretion.

12. Copyright & DMCA Takedown Policy

We respect intellectual property rights and comply with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) and applicable Canadian copyright law. If you believe that content on the Platform infringes your copyright, you may submit a takedown notice to us at support@curbfind.ca. Your notice must include: your contact information; identification of the copyrighted work; identification of the infringing content and its location; a statement of good faith belief; and your electronic or physical signature. Additionally:

• We will investigate valid notices and remove or disable access to infringing content where appropriate.
• We maintain a repeat infringer policy. Users who repeatedly post infringing content will have their accounts terminated.
• Filing a false or bad-faith DMCA notice may expose you to liability under applicable law.

13. Third-Party Services & Advertising

The Platform integrates third-party services to operate and sustain itself. By using the Platform, you acknowledge that:

• We use third-party analytics tools (Google Analytics and Sentry) to understand usage patterns and track errors. These tools may collect anonymized data. You can manage your consent for analytics cookies via our Cookie Preferences.
• We display third-party advertisements (via Google AdSense) to support the free operation of the Platform. Advertisers may use cookies to show personalized ads. You can manage your consent for advertising cookies via our Cookie Preferences.
• The Platform may contain links to third-party websites. We are not responsible for the content, privacy practices, or accuracy of those sites. Visiting them is entirely at your own risk.

14. AI-Powered Features

Curbfind uses Cloudflare Workers AI to help identify items from photos you take or upload. Your photos are temporarily processed by Cloudflare's secure AI network to generate item names. The AI suggestions are provided as a convenience only and may not always be accurate. You remain solely responsible for the accuracy of item information you post, regardless of any AI suggestion.

15. Intellectual Property

All Platform content, branding, design, logos, trademarks, and software (excluding User Content) are the exclusive property of Curbfind or its licensors and are protected by Canadian and U.S. intellectual property laws. You are granted a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to access and use the Platform for personal, non-commercial purposes. You may not reproduce, distribute, modify, create derivative works from, or commercially exploit any part of our proprietary content without our express written permission.

16. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Curbfind and its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents, and licensors from and against any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or relating to: (a) your access to or use of the Platform; (b) your User Content; (c) your violation of these Terms; (d) your violation of any applicable law or regulation; or (e) any harm caused to another person or property in connection with your use of the Platform or pickup of any item. This indemnification obligation survives termination of these Terms.

17. Disclaimer of Warranties

THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT ANY WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, OR ACCURACY. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE PLATFORM WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE, ERROR-FREE, OR FREE OF VIRUSES. ALL ITEMS LISTED ON THE PLATFORM ARE USER-SUBMITTED AND WE MAKE NO REPRESENTATIONS ABOUT THEIR CONDITION, SAFETY, OR LEGALITY. YOUR USE OF THE PLATFORM IS ENTIRELY AT YOUR OWN RISK.

18. Limitation of Liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, CURBFIND AND ITS AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, GOODWILL, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES, ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE PLATFORM, ANY USER CONTENT, OR ANY ITEMS OBTAINED THROUGH THE PLATFORM, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. TO THE EXTENT LIABILITY CANNOT BE FULLY EXCLUDED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, OUR TOTAL LIABILITY SHALL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF CAD $50 OR THE AMOUNT YOU HAVE PAID US IN THE TWELVE MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM.

19. Dispute Resolution & Governing Law

We encourage you to contact us first at support@curbfind.ca to resolve any dispute informally. If a dispute cannot be resolved informally:

• Governing Law: These Terms are governed by the laws of the Province of Quebec, Canada, without regard to conflict of law principles. For users in the United States, applicable U.S. federal law may also apply.
• Jurisdiction: Any legal proceedings shall be brought exclusively in the courts of Quebec, Canada. By using the Platform, you consent to personal jurisdiction in those courts and waive any objection to venue.
• Class Action Waiver: TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ALL DISPUTES MUST BE BROUGHT INDIVIDUALLY. YOU WAIVE YOUR RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN CLASS ACTION LAWSUITS, CLASS-WIDE ARBITRATION, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTIONS AGAINST CURBFIND.

20. Termination

We reserve the right to suspend or permanently terminate your account and access to the Platform at our sole discretion, with or without notice, if we believe you have violated these Terms, our community standards, or applicable law. Upon termination, your right to use the Platform immediately ceases. All User Content you have posted may be retained or removed at our discretion. Sections 7, 10, 15, 16, 17, 18, and 19 of these Terms survive termination and remain in full effect.

21. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms at any time. For material changes, we will notify you by updating the effective date at the top of this page and, where reasonably practical, by in-app notification or email. Your continued use of the Platform after the effective date of any update constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms. If you do not agree to the updated Terms, you must stop using the Platform.

22. General Provisions

If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, and the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect (Severability). Our failure to enforce any right under these Terms does not constitute a waiver of that right. These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and Curbfind regarding use of the Platform and supersede all prior agreements.
