Terms of Service

Last updated November 10, 2026

These terms govern your use of Appcart, a confidential marketplace for buying and selling mobile apps at appcart.ai and its subdomains (the “Service”). Appcart is operated by BURD LLC, a California limited liability company (“Appcart,” “we,” or “us”). By creating an account, signing in, or using the Service you agree to these terms and to our Privacy Policy.

Please read the Dispute resolution section below. It requires most disputes to be resolved by individual binding arbitration, not in court, and waives your right to a jury trial and to take part in a class action. You can opt out within 30 days.

Accounts

You need an account to list or buy an app. You're responsible for activity under your account and for the people you invite to your projects. Keep your sign-in secure and tell us right away about any unauthorized use.

Listing an app

• You may only list apps you own or are authorized to sell, and you must be able to transfer them.
• Information you provide, including revenue, must be accurate. We verify ownership and revenue using the accounts you connect.
• Listings go live only after our team reviews and approves them. We may decline, pause, or remove any listing.
• You grant us permission to use your listing information to operate the Service, including showing your anonymous listing to buyers.

Buying an app

• Buyers may need to verify their identity and funds before requesting access to a listing.
• Confidential information shared with you, including under an NDA, may only be used to evaluate the purchase.
• Listings, including the figures and seller pages shown before a seller approves you, are confidential. You won't share them, use them to work out which app or seller a listing belongs to, or contact a seller about a listing outside Appcart.
• You're responsible for your own due diligence before making an offer.

Deals and payment

Buyers and sellers agree on the price, payment terms, and transfer steps in their own purchase agreement. Appcart doesn't hold, transfer, or escrow funds and isn't a party to that agreement. You may choose to use an independent escrow service. We provide tools and guidance for the transfer.

Fees and introductions

• Listing and buying are free. Before a seller's first listing goes live, the owner signs our seller agreement, which makes Appcart a non-exclusive representative for all of their listings.
• A buyer is introduced by Appcart when a seller approves their access request. If the seller sells the app to an introduced buyer within 6 months of their last message on Appcart, the seller pays Appcart a success fee on the total sale price of 9% of the first $250,000, 7% of the part from $250,000 to $1,000,000, and 5% of the part above $1,000,000.
• With each access request, buyers sign an NDA with the seller (the seller countersigns by approving the request; Appcart isn't a party to it) and introduction terms with Appcart, agreeing not to buy around Appcart to avoid the fee. Buyers pay nothing to Appcart for buying through it.
• Both sides tell us when they agree a deal with someone they met on Appcart. The signed agreements control if they differ from this summary.

Acceptable use

Don't misrepresent an app or its numbers, try to contact or transact around the platform to avoid its protections, access data you aren't permitted to, interfere with the Service, or use it for anything unlawful.

Connected accounts

When you connect services like App Store Connect, RevenueCat, Google Play, ad accounts (Meta, Google Ads, TikTok), in-app ad networks (Google AdMob, AppLovin), or bank and card accounts (through Plaid or Mercury), you authorize us to read the data needed to verify your app and build its financials. Those connections are read-only: we never move money, change campaigns, or change anything in those services. Only connect accounts you're authorized to use. You can disconnect at any time.

Connected services are run by third parties under their own terms. We don't control them and aren't responsible for their availability, for changes to their APIs, or for the accuracy of the data they report, which we show as received.

Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your information, including encrypting stored keys and tokens and limiting every connection to read-only access. Our Privacy Policy describes these safeguards and what we do if there's a security incident, including notifying you as the law requires.

You're responsible for keeping your sign-in, devices, and the keys you create secure, for giving keys only the access Appcart asks for, and for telling us right away at support@appcart.ai if you suspect unauthorized access. Don't try to probe, scan, or test the Service for vulnerabilities without our written permission; if you find one, report it to us privately.

MCP access tokens

If you create an MCP access token for an AI tool, you're responsible for the tool you connect and for what it does with the access you give it; actions taken with your token count as yours. Keep tokens secret, give them only the access they need, and revoke any you no longer use. Data your AI tool reads is handled under that tool's own terms.

Disclaimers

We verify what we can, but we don't guarantee the future performance or value of any app, or that figures reported by connected services are complete or accurate. The Service is provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement, to the extent permitted by law. We don't warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or completely secure.

Limitation of liability

To the extent permitted by law, Appcart and its members, employees, and agents won't be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, revenue, data, or business opportunities, arising out of or relating to the Service, including from deals between buyers and sellers, third-party services you connect, or unauthorized access to or use of your information, even if we were told they were possible.

To the extent permitted by law, our total liability for all claims arising out of or relating to these terms or the Service is limited to the greater of $100 or the fees you paid Appcart in the twelve months before the claim.

These limits don't apply to liability that can't be limited by law, such as for fraud, gross negligence, or willful misconduct, and they don't limit any rights you have under law that can't be waived.

Indemnification

You'll defend and hold harmless Appcart and its members, employees, and agents from claims, losses, and costs (including reasonable attorneys' fees) that arise from your listings, your deals with other users, information you provide, your breach of these terms, or your violation of law or of anyone else's rights.

Termination

You can stop using the Service at any time. We may suspend or end access if you break these terms or to protect other users.

Dispute resolution

Talk to us first. Before filing a claim, send a written notice describing the dispute and the relief you want to contact@appcart.ai. We'll do the same if we have a dispute with you. If it isn't resolved within 60 days, either side may start arbitration.

Binding arbitration. You and Appcart agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these terms, the Service, or any agreement you sign on Appcart will be resolved by binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules if you use the Service as an individual for personal purposes, and otherwise under its Commercial Arbitration Rules (see adr.org). The Federal Arbitration Act governs this section. The arbitrator decides all questions about the scope and enforceability of this agreement to arbitrate, except as stated below. The arbitration may be held by video or, if in person, in the county where you live or another place we agree on. Fees are paid as the AAA rules provide, and for consumer claims we pay the fees the AAA rules assign to businesses.

Exceptions. Either side may bring an individual claim in small claims court if it qualifies, and either side may ask a court for an injunction to stop misuse of confidential information or intellectual property.

No class actions and no jury. You and Appcart may bring claims against each other only individually, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any class, collective, consolidated, or representative action. The arbitrator may not combine more than one person's claims and may award relief only to the individual party seeking it. You and Appcart each waive the right to a jury trial.

Mass filings. If 25 or more similar demands are filed against Appcart by or with the help of the same or coordinated counsel, the AAA's Mass Arbitration Supplementary Rules apply, and the demands may be administered and decided in batches.

30-day opt-out. You can opt out of this agreement to arbitrate by emailing contact@appcart.ai within 30 days after you first agree to these terms (or to this version of them), with your name, account email, and a statement that you opt out of arbitration. Opting out doesn't affect the rest of these terms.

If part of this section fails. If a court decides that the class action waiver can't be enforced for a particular claim or request for relief (such as public injunctive relief), that claim or request will be decided by a court, after any arbitrable claims are arbitrated, and the rest of this section still applies. If the whole agreement to arbitrate is found unenforceable, disputes will be heard in the courts described in the Governing law section.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict of laws rules, and by the Federal Arbitration Act for the Dispute resolution section. Any dispute that isn't arbitrated will be heard only in the state or federal courts located in California, and you and Appcart consent to their jurisdiction.

General

If any part of these terms can't be enforced, the rest stays in effect. Our not enforcing a provision isn't a waiver of it. You may not transfer these terms without our consent; we may transfer them as part of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.

Changes

We may update these terms. If changes are significant, we'll notify you at least 30 days before they take effect. Changes to the Dispute resolution section won't apply to disputes you notified us of before the change took effect.
