Last updated: 11/07/2026

This End User License Agreement ("Agreement") is a custom end user license agreement between you and Michael Ladouceur governing the Collective mobile application (the "Licensed Application"). It is adapted from Apple's Licensed Application End User License Agreement. By downloading, installing, or using the Licensed Application, you agree to this Agreement. If you do not agree, do not use the Licensed Application.

a. Scope of License

We grant you a nontransferable license to use the Licensed Application on any Apple-branded products that you own or control and as permitted by the Usage Rules set forth in the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions, except that the Licensed Application may be accessed and used by other accounts associated with the purchaser via Family Sharing or volume purchasing. The terms of this Agreement will govern any content, materials, or services accessible from or purchased within the Licensed Application, as well as upgrades provided by us that replace or supplement the original Licensed Application, unless such upgrade is accompanied by a new agreement. Except as provided in the Usage Rules, you may not distribute or make the Licensed Application available over a network where it could be used by multiple devices at the same time. You may not transfer, redistribute or sublicense the Licensed Application and, if you sell your Apple Device to a third party, you must remove the Licensed Application from the Apple Device before doing so. You may not copy (except as permitted by this license and the Usage Rules), reverse-engineer, disassemble, attempt to derive the source code of, modify, or create derivative works of the Licensed Application, any updates, or any part thereof (except as and only to the extent that any foregoing restriction is prohibited by applicable law or to the extent as may be permitted by the licensing terms governing use of any open-sourced components included with the Licensed Application).

b. Consent to Use of Data

You agree that we may collect and use technical data and related information—including but not limited to technical information about your device, system and application software, and peripherals—that is gathered periodically to facilitate the provision of software updates, product support, and other services to you related to the Licensed Application. We may use this information, as long as it is in a form that does not personally identify you, to improve our products or to provide services or technologies to you. Our collection and use of personal information in connection with the Licensed Application is described in our Privacy Policy (https://collective.app/privacy), which is incorporated into this Agreement by reference.

c. User-Generated Content and Acceptable Use

The Licensed Application allows you to create, upload, post, and share content, including account names, profile photos, inventory item names, descriptions, categories, and photographs ("User Content"). You retain ownership of your User Content. You grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, store, reproduce, display, and distribute your User Content solely to operate, provide, and improve the Licensed Application (for example, to display items to your network and to process photos you submit for recognition). You represent and warrant that you own or have all necessary rights to your User Content and that it does not infringe or violate any third party's rights.

You agree not to post, upload, or share User Content that:

  1. is unlawful, defamatory, fraudulent, or misleading;
  2. is obscene, pornographic, sexually explicit, or exploitative of minors;
  3. promotes or depicts violence, self-harm, terrorism, or hatred against any individual or group based on race, ethnicity, religion, disability, gender, age, veteran status, sexual orientation, or gender identity;
  4. harasses, bullies, stalks, threatens, or impersonates any person, or invades another person's privacy;
  5. infringes any copyright, trademark, trade secret, or other intellectual property right;
  6. contains malware, spam, pyramid schemes, or unauthorized advertising; or
  7. violates any applicable law or regulation.

We have zero tolerance for objectionable content or abusive users. We reserve the right, but do not assume the obligation, to review, screen, filter, hide, or remove any User Content, and to suspend or terminate the account of any user who violates this Agreement, at any time and without prior notice.

d. Reporting, Blocking, and Moderation

The Licensed Application provides tools to report objectionable content or behavior and to block abusive users, which prevents you from seeing content from or interacting with the blocked user and prevents that user from interacting with you. We aim to review and act on reports of objectionable content within 24 hours. You can also contact us directly at michaelladouceurdev@gmail.com. By using the Licensed Application you consent to moderation of User Content as described in this Agreement.

e. Termination

This Agreement is effective until terminated by you or us. Your rights under this Agreement will terminate automatically if you fail to comply with any of its terms. We may also suspend or terminate your access to the Licensed Application if you violate this Agreement or if we reasonably believe your conduct exposes us or other users to risk. On termination, you must stop using the Licensed Application, and your license ends. You may delete your account at any time from within the Licensed Application; deletion removes your account and associated content as described in the Privacy Policy.

f. External Services

The Licensed Application may enable access to our and/or third-party services and websites (collectively and individually, "External Services"). You agree to use the External Services at your sole risk. We are not responsible for examining or evaluating the content or accuracy of any third-party External Services, and shall not be liable for any such third-party External Services. Data displayed by any Licensed Application or External Service, including but not limited to financial, medical and location information, is for general informational purposes only and is not guaranteed by us or our agents. You will not use the External Services in any manner that is inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement or that infringes the intellectual property rights of us or any third party. You agree not to use the External Services to harass, abuse, stalk, threaten or defame any person or entity, and that we are not responsible for any such use. External Services may not be available in all languages or in your Home Country, and may not be appropriate or available for use in any particular location. To the extent you choose to use such External Services, you are solely responsible for compliance with any applicable laws. We reserve the right to change, suspend, remove, disable or impose access restrictions or limits on any External Services at any time without notice or liability to you.

g. NO WARRANTY

YOU EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT USE OF THE LICENSED APPLICATION IS AT YOUR SOLE RISK. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE LICENSED APPLICATION AND ANY SERVICES PERFORMED OR PROVIDED BY THE LICENSED APPLICATION ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITH ALL FAULTS AND WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, AND WE HEREBY DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES AND CONDITIONS WITH RESPECT TO THE LICENSED APPLICATION AND ANY SERVICES, EITHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES AND/OR CONDITIONS OF MERCHANTABILITY, OF SATISFACTORY QUALITY, OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OF ACCURACY, OF QUIET ENJOYMENT, AND OF NONINFRINGEMENT OF THIRD-PARTY RIGHTS. NO ORAL OR WRITTEN INFORMATION OR ADVICE GIVEN BY US OR OUR AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE SHALL CREATE A WARRANTY. SHOULD THE LICENSED APPLICATION OR SERVICES PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE ENTIRE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR, OR CORRECTION. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR LIMITATIONS ON APPLICABLE STATUTORY RIGHTS OF A CONSUMER, SO THE ABOVE EXCLUSION AND LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

h. Limitation of Liability

TO THE EXTENT NOT PROHIBITED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL WE BE LIABLE FOR PERSONAL INJURY OR ANY INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, INDIRECT, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES WHATSOEVER, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, LOSS OF DATA, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, OR ANY OTHER COMMERCIAL DAMAGES OR LOSSES, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE LICENSED APPLICATION, HOWEVER CAUSED, REGARDLESS OF THE THEORY OF LIABILITY (CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE) AND EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE LIMITATION OF LIABILITY FOR PERSONAL INJURY, OR OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THIS LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. In no event shall our total liability to you for all damages (other than as may be required by applicable law in cases involving personal injury) exceed the amount of fifty dollars ($50.00). The foregoing limitations will apply even if the above stated remedy fails of its essential purpose.

i. Export Compliance

You may not use or otherwise export or re-export the Licensed Application except as authorized by United States law and the laws of the jurisdiction in which the Licensed Application was obtained. In particular, but without limitation, the Licensed Application may not be exported or re-exported (a) into any U.S.-embargoed countries or (b) to anyone on the U.S. Treasury Department's Specially Designated Nationals List or the U.S. Department of Commerce Denied Persons List or Entity List.
