Goodbay.ai Terms of Service

Effective Date: March 16, 2026 Last Updated: October 3, 2026

1. Acceptance of Terms

By creating an account, accessing, or using Goodbay.ai (the "Service"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you ("User," "you," or "your") and Goodbay.ai ("Goodbay," "we," "us," or "our").

We may update these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we will notify you by email or through the Service at least 30 days before the changes take effect. Your continued use of the Service after the effective date of any update constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

2. Description of Service

Goodbay.ai is a personal asset management platform that helps you track, value, and manage your physical belongings. The Service includes:

  • Inventory Management — Catalog and organize items you own.
  • Multi-Platform Valuation — Estimate the current market value of your items using data from multiple sources.
  • Email Receipt Scanning — Connect your Gmail or Microsoft Outlook account to automatically extract purchase information from receipt and order confirmation emails.
  • Import Integrations — Import purchase history from eBay (via OAuth), Amazon (via CSV upload), and other sources.
  • Manual and Assisted Entry — Add items via spreadsheet import, barcode scanning, photo-based AI recognition, and QR-code phone handoff.
  • Bridge Network (subscription feature) — Access to the Passive Marketplace, aggregate pricing intelligence, and cross-user analytics.

2.1 Service Tiers

Goodbay.ai is available in three tiers:

1. Self-Hosted (Free / Open Source) — You host the application yourself. The application source code is licensed under the GNU Affero General Public License v3.0 (AGPLv3). This tier operates independently and does not connect to Goodbay.ai infrastructure. 2. Self-Hosted + Bridge Subscription — You host the application yourself and subscribe to the Bridge network for access to aggregate intelligence, the Passive Marketplace, and cross-user analytics. 3. Fully Hosted — We host the application for you at goodbay.ai, with the Bridge network included.

3. Account Creation and Responsibilities

3.1 Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old to use the Service. By creating an account, you represent that you meet this requirement.

3.2 Account Security

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials. You agree to notify us immediately at [email protected] if you become aware of any unauthorized use of your account.

3.3 Accurate Information

You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information during registration and to keep your account information up to date.

4. Data Ownership

You own your inventory data. All items, valuations, notes, photos, and other content you create or import into Goodbay.ai remain your property. We do not claim ownership of your data.

You grant Goodbay.ai a limited, non-exclusive license to process your data solely for the purpose of providing the Service to you. This license terminates when you delete your account, subject to the anonymized data retention described in Section 5.

4.1 Photos

For photos, providing the Service means we may store them on your behalf, copy and resize them, show them to you in your inventory, and, when you choose to list an item, send them to the marketplace you select (see Section 6.6). We do this only to provide the Service to you. We do not sell your photos, and we do not use them in our own advertising.

You are responsible for the photos you add. Add only photos you have the right to use.

You may export your inventory data at any time through the Service's export functionality.

5. Anonymized Data Retention

Please read this section carefully. It describes what happens to your data if you delete your account.

When you delete your Goodbay.ai account:

  • All personally identifiable information (PII) is permanently deleted. This includes your name, email address, OAuth tokens, connected account metadata, and any other information that could identify you.
  • Transaction and item data — including items tracked, purchase prices, sale prices, and dates — is retained in anonymized form. This anonymized data cannot be linked back to you or to any individual person.

We retain this anonymized data to power aggregate valuations and pricing intelligence that benefit all Goodbay.ai users. For example, knowing that a particular product sold for a particular price at a particular time helps us provide accurate market valuations, even after the original user's account no longer exists.

This approach complies with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) per Recital 26, which states that the principles of data protection do not apply to anonymized data — that is, data that cannot be related to an identified or identifiable natural person.

By creating an account, you acknowledge and agree to this anonymized data retention policy.

6. Import Sources and Connected Accounts

6.1 Email Scanning (Gmail and Microsoft Outlook)

When you connect your email account to Goodbay.ai:

  • We request read-only access to your email. We will never send, modify, delete, or forward any email on your behalf.
  • We scan only receipt and order confirmation emails, identified by subject line patterns and sender domain filtering. We do not read, process, or store the content of any other emails.
  • Unmodified raw email content (complete MIME messages, headers, attachments) is never stored. For qualifying receipt emails, sanitized email body HTML may be stored for the review interface and parser improvement — see our Privacy Policy Section 1.3 for full details.
  • We extract and store structured receipt data: vendor name, item descriptions, prices, dates, and order numbers.
  • We retain processed message IDs solely to prevent re-scanning the same email.

6.2 eBay Import

When you connect your eBay account via OAuth, we access your purchase history in read-only mode to import items into your inventory.

6.3 Amazon Import

Amazon data is imported via CSV files that you manually upload. Goodbay.ai does not have direct access to your Amazon account.

6.4 Disconnecting an Import Source

You may disconnect any import source at any time. When you disconnect:

  • The OAuth connection (if applicable) is revoked and all associated tokens are deleted.
  • All source-specific scanning metadata (such as processed message IDs for email sources) is permanently purged.
  • Inventory items that were already created from that source are NOT deleted. These items are part of your inventory, and you own them. You may delete them individually if you choose.

This policy applies equally to all import sources: email (Gmail, Outlook), eBay, Amazon, and any future integrations.

6.5 Photo Recognition (Optional)

Photo recognition identifies an item from a photo you take in the app. It is optional. You can add any item without it.

  • It runs only with your agreement. The first time you choose to identify an item from a photo, we show you what happens to the photo and ask you to agree. Nothing is sent for recognition before you do. We keep a record of your decision and the date you made it.
  • What is sent. The photo you just took, and nothing else from your device. Before it is sent we remove the information your camera embeds in the file, including the location where the photo was taken.
  • Who processes it. An AI model provided by Anthropic, running on Amazon Web Services infrastructure under our account.
  • Keeping the photo is your choice. When you take a photo, the app offers to attach it to the item, and that option starts switched on. An attached photo is stored with your inventory like any other photo you add (see Section 4.1), so it is there when you want to view the item or list it for sale. You can remove it at any time.
  • If you switch attaching off, we use the photo for identification only and do not keep it.
  • What we always keep. The result, such as the product name, brand and model, and a record that a request was made.
  • The two choices are independent. You can use recognition without attaching the photo, and attach a photo without using recognition.
  • You can withdraw. You can turn photo recognition off in the app's settings at any time. After that, no photo is sent for recognition unless you agree again.
  • The result is a suggestion. An identification can be wrong or incomplete. You review it and can change anything before the item is saved. Photo recognition does not estimate what an item is worth.

Please photograph only your own items. Avoid including people, documents, or screens showing personal information in the frame.

6.6 Listing on Marketplaces

When you choose to list an item on a marketplace such as eBay or Facebook Marketplace, we send that marketplace the listing details you approve, including the item's photos.

  • Nothing is listed without your action. We send a listing only when you choose to create it.
  • The marketplace's terms apply to what it receives. Once a listing is sent, the copy held by the marketplace is governed by your agreement with that marketplace, not by these Terms. Those agreements typically give the marketplace broad rights to display and reuse listing content.
  • Removing a photo from Goodbay does not remove it from a marketplace. To take down a listing or its photos, end or edit the listing on that marketplace.
  • Check your photos before you list. Anyone who can see the listing can see its photos. Photos taken with a phone can also carry the location where they were taken.

6.7 Valuation Data Sources

The values Goodbay.ai shows for your items are estimates built from marketplace price data. Our main source is eBay: the asking prices on current eBay listings and, where available, the prices completed eBay sales went for. For watches we use listing prices from Chrono24.

  • An estimate, not an appraisal. Marketplace prices change, and a product like yours may differ from yours in condition, configuration or completeness. An estimate is not an offer to buy, a guaranteed sale price, or an appraisal for insurance, tax or legal purposes.
  • Third-party data. We do not control the listings or sales our sources report, and we do not guarantee their accuracy or availability. If a source stops providing data, some items may show no value until another source is available.
  • For valuing your items only. Marketplace price data is used to value items in your inventory. We do not resell or share it. How we collect and how long we keep it is described in our Privacy Policy Section 1.9.

7. Alpha License

The Goodbay Alpha License is a one-time $1 charge. Its primary purpose is to let us verify that $1 payments process correctly on our system. It also grants you a membership license for the entirety of our alpha testing phase, which Goodbay may end at any time, at our sole discretion.

Neither your $1 payment nor your use of the platform during the testing period guarantees any service-level or performance commitment of any kind.

The $1 payment is considered a donation toward our testing and is not eligible for a refund for any reason whatsoever, including loss of data or any other material losses you may incur.

8. Fees, Subscriptions, and the Lifetime License

8.1 Subscription and Membership Fees

Paid Goodbay features — including the Bridge network and other fully hosted, membership-based services — are billed on a recurring basis. The applicable fee, billing interval, and any changes are disclosed to you at the point of purchase and in your account billing settings.

8.2 Lifetime License

The Goodbay Lifetime License is a one-time purchase that waives all recurring membership and fixed platform fees for the lifetime of your account. You will never pay a Goodbay subscription or membership fee again.

What the Lifetime License does not cover. It does not cover variable, usage-based charges for optional services where Goodbay incurs a third-party or pass-through cost — for example, listing your items on additional marketplaces, or other add-ons priced per transaction. Those remain billed separately at the time you use them.

In short: the Lifetime License makes membership free for life; it does not make usage-based add-ons free.

9. Open Source License

The Goodbay.ai application is open-source software licensed under the GNU Affero General Public License v3.0 (AGPLv3). The full license text is available at https://www.gnu.org/licenses/agpl-3.0.html.

The AGPLv3 license applies to the application code. It does not apply to:

  • The Bridge network, which is proprietary software operated by Goodbay.ai.
  • Your data, which you own (see Section 4).
  • Aggregate intelligence and analytics derived from anonymized data, which are proprietary to Goodbay.ai.

If you self-host Goodbay.ai and modify the source code, you must comply with the AGPLv3 license terms, including making your modifications available to users who interact with your modified version over a network.

10. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

  • Use the Service for any unlawful purpose or in violation of any applicable laws.
  • Attempt to gain unauthorized access to any part of the Service, other users' accounts, or our infrastructure.
  • Use the Service to track, catalog, or sell stolen property.
  • Reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the Bridge network or any proprietary components of the Service (the open-source application itself is governed by the AGPLv3).
  • Interfere with or disrupt the Service or the servers and networks connected to the Service.
  • Use automated means (bots, scrapers, etc.) to access the Service in a manner that exceeds reasonable use or places undue load on our systems.
  • Resell, sublicense, or commercially redistribute access to the Bridge network without our written permission.

11. Intellectual Property

11.1 Goodbay.ai Intellectual Property

The Goodbay.ai name, logo, trademarks, Bridge network, aggregate intelligence algorithms, and proprietary components of the Service are owned by Goodbay.ai and are protected by intellectual property laws. The open-source application code is licensed under the AGPLv3 as described in Section 9.

11.2 User Content

You retain all rights to the content you create or upload to the Service, including inventory items, photos, and notes. By using the Service, you grant us a limited license to process this content as necessary to provide the Service (see Section 4).

11.3 Feedback

If you provide feedback, suggestions, or ideas about the Service, you grant us a non-exclusive, royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable license to use that feedback for any purpose without obligation to you.

12. Limitation of Liability and Warranty Disclaimer

12.2 Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, GOODBAY.AI SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS OR REVENUE, WHETHER INCURRED DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, OR ANY LOSS OF DATA, USE, GOODWILL, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES, RESULTING FROM:

  • Your access to or use of (or inability to access or use) the Service.
  • Any conduct or content of any third party on the Service.
  • Unauthorized access, use, or alteration of your transmissions or content.
  • Any inaccuracy in valuations, pricing data, or aggregate intelligence.

OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THE SERVICE SHALL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM, OR ONE HUNDRED US DOLLARS ($100), WHICHEVER IS GREATER.
