Pricinity

Terms of Service

Effective: October 8, 2026

Plain-English terms. By using Pricinity you agree to these — we keep them short so you can actually read them.

Who can use Pricinity

🔞

18+ and a US legal resident

Required for account creation. The monthly contest is open only to eligible US residents 18+.

✅

One account per person

Sign up with your real email. Multi-accounts detected via device fingerprint get a reputation penalty and can be banned.

Your contributions

💬

You own what you post

Prices, photos, badges you earn — yours. By posting, you grant Pricinity a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to display them in the app and on pricinity.com.

⚖

No fake prices

Submit only prices you actually paid. Community votes catch wrong values; repeat offenders lose reputation and eventually the ability to submit.

🚫

No harassment, no spam

Reviews or replies that harass another user, promote unrelated products, or violate someone's privacy will be removed. Repeat offenders banned.

Reputation & Contest

🏆

Monthly contest ($50)

Top contributor each month wins a $50 gift card (Amazon, Walmart, or Target — your pick). Eligibility: 10+ lifetime rep, 10+ monthly score, no active strikes. If nobody eligible, the pool rolls into next month.

🎁

Prize payouts

Winner picks a gift card + verified email in-app. Founder sends within 24 hours via the vendor (Amazon, Walmart, Target). Prize must be claimed within 7 days or is forfeited.

❌

Fraud disqualifies

Multi-account, vote rings, or fabricated prices void contest eligibility. Decisions are final.

Contest rules

✅

How to enter

Free. Every eligible user is automatically in the running — there is nothing to buy, and no purchase or payment improves your chances.

📊

How the winner is chosen

By skill, not chance: the eligible user with the highest reputation score for the calendar month (UTC) wins. Ties go to the higher lifetime reputation. Scoring is explained in the in-app Rules.

💰

Prize value

$50 per month (12 × $50 a year), plus any amount rolled over from a month with no eligible winner.

🚷

Not eligible

Employees and immediate family or household members of Pricinity's operator are not eligible. Same-household duplicate wins are voided.

⚖

Void where prohibited

Void where prohibited by law. Winners are responsible for any taxes on their prize. Sponsor: Pricinity (founder@pricinity.com). Apple and Google are not sponsors, endorsers, or administrators.

Ads

📺

Ads keep Pricinity free

We show ads from Google AdMob: a banner at the bottom of some screens and occasional ads inside price lists, marked as ads. Watching or tapping ads never earns points or prizes. On iOS, ads are personalized only if you allow tracking in Apple's prompt; on Android you can limit ad personalization in your device settings.

Businesses / owners

🏪

Claim a business

If you own or manage a listed business, you can claim it. Verification is by email OTP to an address on the business's website domain, or by manual review.

💳

Pro subscription (optional)

Pro adds features (custom logo/banner, menu items, sponsored slots). Monthly billing via Stripe. Cancel any time from your owner dashboard.

Copyright / DMCA

©

Report infringement

If content on Pricinity infringes your copyright, email founder@pricinity.com with: (1) the specific content and URL, (2) proof you own the original work, (3) your contact info, (4) a good-faith statement that the use isn't authorized, (5) a statement under penalty of perjury that the information is accurate. We remove infringing content within 48 hours of a valid notice.

↩

Counter-notice

If you believe your content was removed in error, send a counter-notice with the same info and we'll restore it after 10 business days unless the original claimant files a lawsuit.

Termination

🚪

You can leave anytime

Email founder@pricinity.com — your profile, votes, and push token are gone within 30 days. Price submissions stay in the public record but are anonymized (your username is removed).

🔨

We can suspend accounts

For fraud, harassment, or repeated rule violations. Anonymized contributions stay in the public record for the community's benefit.

Disclaimers

ℹ

Prices are user-submitted

Pricinity is a comparison + community-verification platform. We don't guarantee that any specific price is currently in effect at any specific business — always confirm at the register.

⚠

No warranties

Pricinity is provided as-is. We'll do our best to keep it running, but no uptime guarantee, no fitness-for-purpose warranty, all the usual legal stuff.

Disputes

🤝

First stop — email us

Most issues resolve in one email to founder@pricinity.com — please try that before any formal action.

⚖

Governing law

Florida, USA. Small-claims court for disputes below $8,000. Class-action waiver — disputes handled on individual basis only, not as part of a class.

✉
