You must be at least 18 years old to use the Service. By creating an account or using the Service, you represent and warrant that you are 18 years of age or older. The Service is not intended for, and may not be used by, anyone under the age of 18. If we discover that a user is under 18, we will promptly close that account and delete its data, apart from records we are required to keep (see our Privacy Policy).
If you are a parent or guardian and believe your minor child has created an account, please contact us immediately at support@marketbun.com.
To access most features, you must create an account by providing a valid email address, a username, and a password, or by authenticating through a supported third-party provider.
You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information and to keep it updated. Providing false information is grounds for immediate account termination.
You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials and for all activity under your account. Notify us immediately at support@marketbun.com if you suspect unauthorized access.
Each person may maintain only one active account. Creating duplicate or fraudulent accounts is prohibited.
MarketBun is a discovery platform that allows users to post, browse, and find local yard sales, garage sales, estate sales and similar community sales, and to list single items for sale to buyers nearby. MarketBun connects buyers and sellers but is not a party to any transaction between users. All transactions are arranged solely between users. MarketBun does not process payments between users, hold funds, guarantee the quality or legality of listed items, or verify user identities. MarketBun also offers optional paid features for sellers, which you buy through Apple (see Section 7).
By submitting content (listings, photos, messages, profile info), you grant MarketBun a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to use, reproduce, distribute, and display your content solely to operate and improve the Service.
User content must not be false or misleading, depict illegal items, contain sexually explicit or hateful material, harass or threaten anyone, include others' personal information without consent, or violate any applicable law.
We reserve the right to remove or disable any User Content at our sole discretion, at any time, without notice.
Photos of a sale and of its highlighted items are deleted automatically 30 days after the sale's last day. The rest of the listing stays in your account. A single-item listing stays up for 30 days and can be renewed; if it expires and is not renewed, or you mark it sold, it is deleted automatically, with its photos, 7 days later. Keep your own copies of any photos you want to keep.
When you post a single item, MarketBun can suggest a title, category, description and price from your photos and the condition you pick ("Fill in with AI"). It is optional: you can always write a listing yourself. Each account gets a number of AI drafts a month, shown in the app; MarketBun Pro includes more, and fewer while on a free trial. One AI draft is used each time the AI prepares a suggestion for you, including when you run it again on the same listing, and whether or not you then post the listing. So the number of listings you post with AI's help may be lower than your monthly number of AI drafts. When a try fails or finds nothing to sell, it doesn't use an AI draft, up to a monthly number of "free retries" that depends on your plan; the app shows how many you have and how many are left. After your free retries are used up, each such try uses one AI draft, and the app tells you when that happens. Unused AI drafts don't carry over to the next month. Suggestions can be wrong, so check them before you post. Once you post, the listing is your content under these Terms, and a suggested price is only a suggestion, not an appraisal. We may change the monthly numbers, or pause the feature, for example to stop abuse.
You agree not to:
MarketBun is a platform only. All sales are conducted directly between users, in person, and are entirely the responsibility of the individual buyer and seller.
MarketBun does not process, hold, transfer, or facilitate any payments between users. Paid features you buy for your own account (Section 7) are a separate purchase from Apple and have nothing to do with what you buy from or sell to other users.
You are solely responsible for your personal safety when meeting other users. We strongly encourage meeting in public, well-lit locations.
When a seller marks a single item as sold and says which user bought it, the buyer and the seller can each rate the other, once, within 3 days: 1 to 5 stars and optional tags from a fixed list. If the same two people trade again within 30 days, that later sale is not rated. A rating cannot be changed after it is sent. Neither of you sees the other's rating until both of you have rated or the 3 days have passed. Your average, the number of ratings, and how often each tag was given are shown on your profile to other users. Ratings must be honest and about the sale itself: do not name someone as a buyer who was not, trade ratings, or use a rating to pressure or punish another user. Ratings are other users' opinions, not ours, and we do not check them. We may remove a rating that breaks these Terms. If you think a rating you received breaks them, contact us through Help & support in the app.
MarketBun is free to use. Sellers can also choose to pay for extra features. You never have to buy anything to post, browse, message, or buy and sell with other users.
Promoted listings are always labeled "Promoted". We do not promise any number of views, messages, buyers, or sales from a Boost or from Pro.
All purchases are made through Apple's App Store and charged to your Apple ID. Apple's own terms for App Store purchases also apply. The price, in your currency, is shown in the app before you confirm. MarketBun never receives or stores your card or bank details. We use RevenueCat, a service provider, to confirm with Apple what you bought, so we can turn the feature on for your account.
MarketBun Pro renews automatically at the end of each month or year and is charged to your Apple ID, unless you turn off auto-renew at least 24 hours before the current period ends. You can turn it off at any time in your Apple ID's subscription settings (on iPhone: Settings › your name › Subscriptions). When you turn it off, you keep Pro until the end of the period you already paid for; we do not give partial refunds for the rest of a period.
If the app offers you a free trial, it lasts for the time shown when you start it. Unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the trial ends, your subscription starts and you are charged. Apple decides who can get a free trial (usually once per Apple ID).
We may change prices for new purchases. If we raise the price of MarketBun Pro, Apple will tell you before it affects your subscription, as Apple's rules require. If you subscribed at a "founding" price, you keep that price for as long as your subscription renews without a break and you stay on the same plan (monthly or yearly). If you switch to the other plan after its price has gone up, you pay that plan's current price.
A Boost or Pro promotion stops showing a listing that is sold, closed, archived, expired, or deleted, or whose seller is suspended or banned. Time that was not used is not refunded or moved to another listing. If we hide a listing while we review it, its Boost is paused and the hidden time is added back if the listing is shown again. If a Boost you paid for cannot be placed on the listing you chose (for example, because the sale ended while you were paying), it is kept for you to use on another listing.
Because Apple handles all payments, refund requests go to Apple at reportaproblem.apple.com, and Apple decides them under its policies. If Apple refunds a Boost, that Boost ends. If Apple refunds a Pro subscription, Pro ends. Nothing in these Terms limits any refund rights you have under the law.
Deleting your MarketBun account does not cancel a MarketBun Pro subscription, because Apple bills it. To stop being charged, turn off auto-renew in your Apple ID's subscription settings before or after you delete your account. When your account is deleted, any Boost time or unused Boost you have left ends with it.
We may change what Boost and MarketBun Pro include. If we take away something central to MarketBun Pro, we will tell you in the app or by email before the change affects a period you have already paid for.
Your use of the Service is governed by our Privacy Policy, incorporated into these Terms by reference.
The Service, including its design, features, software, trademarks, and logos, is owned by or licensed to MarketBun and protected by applicable law. If you submit feedback or ideas, you grant MarketBun a perpetual, royalty-free license to use them without obligation to you.
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless MarketBun, its owner, employees, and agents from any claims, liabilities, damages, and expenses (including attorneys' fees) arising from your use of the Service, your content, your violation of these Terms, or any in-person transaction you arrange through the Service.
You may delete your account at any time through the app.
If you break these Terms or our community rules, we may, depending on how serious it is and whether it has happened before: send you a warning; hide or remove a listing or an item in it; pause your ability to send messages for a period of time; suspend your account for a period of time, during which you cannot sign in and your listings are not shown to others; or permanently ban your account. When we do, we tell you in the app which rule was involved. Serious violations, such as threats, scams or illegal items, may lead directly to a suspension or ban. If you think we made a mistake, email support@marketbun.com.
We also reserve the right to suspend or terminate your account at any time, with or without cause. Sections 4.1, 6.3, 7, 9, 10, 11, 12, 15, and 16 survive termination.
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California. Before filing any legal claim, you agree to first contact us at support@marketbun.com and attempt to resolve the dispute informally for at least 30 days.
If informal resolution fails, disputes shall be resolved by binding individual arbitration administered by the AAA in Stanislaus County, California. You waive the right to a jury trial and class action participation. Either party may bring individual claims in small claims court.
Your right to opt out of arbitration. You may decline the arbitration agreement in this section by emailing support@marketbun.com with the subject line "Arbitration Opt-Out" within 30 days of first creating your account. Your message must include the email address on your account. Opting out affects only this arbitration provision — the rest of these Terms still apply, and your account and use of the Service are not affected in any way.
We may update these Terms from time to time. We will update the "Last Updated" date and notify you of material changes via the app or email. Continued use after changes take effect constitutes acceptance.
