Terms of Service

Welcome to Skintick. These Terms of Service govern your access to and use of the Skintick website, API, documentation, software, and related services.

By accessing or using Skintick, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

1. About Skintick

Skintick provides pricing data, marketplace metadata, historical snapshots, and related API services for Counter-Strike 2 digital items.

Skintick is an independent service. Skintick is not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, or officially connected to Valve Corporation, Steam, Counter-Strike, Skinport, CSFloat, Tradeit, DMarket, or any other marketplace or rights holder. Valve's legal pages emphasize respect for intellectual property rights, and CS-related independent services commonly include clear non-affiliation and trademark disclaimers.

All trademarks, game names, item names, logos, and marketplace names belong to their respective owners.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old, or the age of majority in your jurisdiction, to use Skintick for paid commercial purposes.

If you use Skintick on behalf of a company, you confirm that you have authority to bind that company to these Terms.

3. API Access

To use the API, you may need an API key. You are responsible for keeping your API key secure.

You may not:

• share, resell, publish, or expose your API key;
• bypass rate limits;
• scrape or reverse-engineer the Skintick API;
• use the Service in a way that harms availability for other users;
• use Skintick for unlawful, fraudulent, or abusive activity.

We may suspend or revoke API access if we detect abuse, excessive usage, payment failure, security risk, or violation of these Terms.

4. Data Accuracy and Availability

Skintick provides data on an as-is and as-available basis.

We try to provide accurate and timely data, but prices, listings, availability, marketplace fees, item metadata, and historical snapshots may be delayed, incomplete, inaccurate, stale, duplicated, or unavailable.

You understand that marketplace data can change quickly and that Skintick does not guarantee that any price shown through the API is currently executable, tradable, available, or profitable.

5. No Trading, Financial, or Investment Advice

Skintick does not provide financial advice, trading advice, investment advice, gambling advice, or recommendations.

Any decisions you make based on Skintick data are your own responsibility.

You are solely responsible for evaluating risks, including but not limited to:

• marketplace fees;
• trade locks;
• price movement;
• liquidity;
• item availability;
• payment restrictions;
• account limitations;
• marketplace terms;
• currency conversion;
• tax obligations.

6. Third-Party Marketplaces

Skintick may collect, process, normalize, or reference data from third-party marketplaces or APIs.

We do not control third-party marketplaces and are not responsible for:

• their availability;
• their data accuracy;
• their pricing;
• their fees;
• their policies;
• their outages;
• changes to their APIs or websites;
• any action taken by a marketplace against you.

You are responsible for complying with any marketplace terms that apply to your own usage.

7. Plans, Billing, and Payments

Paid plans are billed in advance on a monthly or annual basis, depending on your selected plan.

Payments are processed by Stripe or another payment provider. By purchasing a plan, you authorize us and our payment provider to charge your selected payment method.

Prices may change in the future. If pricing changes, we will provide reasonable notice before changes apply to existing subscriptions.

8. Rate Limits and Usage Limits

Each plan may include request limits, rate limits, feature limits, historical data limits, marketplace coverage limits, or other usage restrictions.

We may throttle, reject, or limit requests that exceed your plan limits.

Unused request limits do not roll over unless explicitly stated.

9. Commercial Use

You may use Skintick data commercially only according to the plan you purchase.

Unless otherwise agreed in writing, you may not:

• resell Skintick data as a standalone competing data product;
• redistribute bulk Skintick data;
• provide public unauthenticated access to Skintick data;
• use Skintick to build a substantially similar API or data marketplace;
• remove Skintick attribution where attribution is required.

For high-volume, redistribution, marketplace, bot-platform, or enterprise usage, contact us for a commercial license.

10. Intellectual Property

Skintick owns the Service, API, documentation, branding, software, design, and original content.

You retain ownership of your own applications and integrations.

Using Skintick does not give you ownership of the Skintick platform, API, data processing logic, or documentation.

11. Service Changes

We may add, remove, modify, or deprecate features, endpoints, data sources, response fields, pricing plans, or limits.

For breaking API changes, we will make reasonable efforts to provide notice, but we do not guarantee indefinite support for any endpoint or data source.

12. Termination

You may stop using Skintick at any time.

We may suspend or terminate your access if you violate these Terms, fail to pay, abuse the Service, create security risks, or use the Service unlawfully.

Termination does not relieve you of any payment obligations already incurred.

13. Disclaimer of Warranties

The Service is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, including warranties of accuracy, availability, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, and uninterrupted operation.

14. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Skintick will not be liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, special, punitive, or exemplary damages, including lost profits, lost revenue, lost trades, lost data, business interruption, or marketplace losses.

Our total liability for any claim related to the Service is limited to the amount you paid to Skintick during the three months before the event giving rise to the claim.

15. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Skintick from claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses arising from:

• your use of the Service;
• your application or product;
• your violation of these Terms;
• your misuse of API data;
• your violation of third-party rights or marketplace terms;
• your unlawful activity.

16. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of Sweden, unless mandatory consumer protection laws in your jurisdiction provide otherwise.

Any disputes will be handled by the courts of Sweden, unless mandatory law requires another venue.
