Everycrate / TERMS OF SERVICE

Terms of service

Last updated September 29, 2026. Everycrate is run by Andrew Braun ("we", "us"). These terms are the agreement between you and us when you use Everycrate. Please read them with the privacy policy.

1. What Everycrate is

Everycrate is an online service for people who sell records, CDs and tapes. Each account gets its own copy of the Everycrate app, run on our servers, with its own records. It reads your photos, finds the pressing (in Everycrate's own catalogue, made from the open data Discogs and MusicBrainz publish, and on Discogs), helps you grade and price it, lists it on the sites you connect, and keeps your stock right across them.

2. Your account

You log in with a link we email you. Keep your email account safe: whoever can read it can log in. You are responsible for what is done in your account, including on devices you log in on and on a shop counter you set up. One account is for one seller or one business. You must be at least 18.

3. The free trial and your subscription

A new account has 14 days free. After that, using Everycrate needs a subscription, at the price on our pricing page, billed monthly in advance by card through Stripe. The free trial includes up to 30 records identified from photos, and each plan the records a month the pricing page states, at about 10¢ a record. A record counts once, at its first photo reading; reading it again, and records typed in or found by a Discogs link or a barcode without one, do not count. When the trial's or a month's records are used, reading the photos of new records waits until the allowance starts again (your next billing month) or until you change plan; behind it each plan has a monthly limit on AI use, past which photo reading and market checks wait for the next month. Nothing you have entered is lost meanwhile. It renews each month until you cancel; you can change plan at any time in your account. We tell you at least 30 days before a price change, and it applies from your next month after that. A promotion code gives its discount for as long as the code says.

4. Cancelling, refunds and failed payments

You can cancel at any time in your account; refunds and cancellation says what happens next, what we refund and what happens when a payment fails. We may end an account that breaks these terms; if we do without a good reason, we refund the rest of the month you paid for.

5. Your records and your data

Your records, photos, prices and notes are yours. You give us permission to store and use them only to run Everycrate for you, and, for what you choose to share with other sellers, as section 6 says. You can download everything at any time (Settings, Backups, Export everything). After an account ends, its records are kept for 90 days and then deleted, with their backups. The privacy policy says what we keep, for how long, and who helps us run the service.

When you sell, you receive your buyers' names, addresses and other details from the sites you sell on. You may use them only to fulfil the order and to deal with it afterwards, as those sites' own rules say, and not for marketing unless the buyer agreed.

6. Everycrate's catalogue, and sharing with other sellers

Everycrate keeps its own catalogue of records, and it grows with what sellers' copies show. Unless you turn it off in Settings (Stock, Sharing), your Everycrate adds to it what it learns from the copies you photograph and list:

• Photos: your photos of a copy's covers, labels and runouts (the cut the app made of each, not the photo as first taken). The catalogue keeps a photo only when it is sharp and clear enough and unlike the photos it already has of that side of that pressing.
• Runout readings: the runout, matrix and IFPI codes read from pressings you listed or checked, when the catalogue's record of the pressing does not have them already.
• What covers and labels show: the bar code, catalogue number, label and country printed on a copy, how many discs it has and the colour of its vinyl, when the catalogue's record lacks them or says otherwise. They are kept as sellers' reports beside the record, never as a change to it.
• Records the catalogue lacks: when you make a record of your own for a pressing the catalogue does not have, its details (artist, title, label, catalogue number, bar code, country, year, format, tracks and runouts) and its photos. Other sellers are shown it only once other sellers have recorded the same pressing on their own and we have checked it, and then as a record from sellers.

The licence for what you add. You keep the copyright in your photos. For each photo, reading, report and record your Everycrate adds to the catalogue, you give Andrew Braun a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, perpetual and irrevocable licence, which it may pass on (sublicense), to store, copy, resize, crop and show it, and to use it to identify, describe and illustrate the pressing, wherever Everycrate shows its catalogue: in Everycrate to every seller, on its websites and in its apps, and through partners who show Everycrate's catalogue. It is shown without your name. The licence covers your rights in the photo itself; the artwork a photo shows belongs to its own rights holders. Add only photos you took, or that the person who took them agreed to, and not photos of people or of anything personal (a name and address on a parcel, say). We remove any location and camera details from them.

Turning it off, and removal. Unticking a box stops your Everycrate adding that kind from then on; what it added before stays in the catalogue, and so it does when your account closes (with no link to you any more). A reading, report or record you put right or delete in your Everycrate is put right or deleted in the catalogue too (a record of a pressing other sellers recorded as well stays, as theirs), and a photo you replace with a better one replaces it. We remove any particular photo on request: write to <a href="mailto:support@geteverycrate.com">support@geteverycrate.com</a> with the photo or the pressing, and it goes within 30 days and is not taken again. We may remove anything from the catalogue at any time.

Sharing with other sellers (only when you switch it on). Two more kinds stay off until you tick them, and unticking one takes back what you shared under it (closing your account takes them back too). Other sellers are never told who shared what.

• Sale prices: the price, grades and month of copies you sold at your counter, at shows, on Whatnot or in your own Shopify store, when Everycrate recorded where each sale happened (rung up at the counter, or an order read from the site or till it was made on; never a copy you marked sold by hand). Other sellers see only a median that rests on at least 5 sales by at least 3 sellers. No buyer's details are shared, and sales on Discogs, eBay, Etsy and Amazon never are.
• Records you hold: which pressings you have in stock, shown to others only as a count of sellers, from 3 up.

What the catalogue and the other sellers show you is shown as it is, for identifying and pricing your own records. It can be wrong: check it as you would any other source.

7. The sites you connect

You connect your own accounts at Discogs, eBay, Etsy, Shopify, Amazon, Square, Shippo and other sites. Everycrate acts on those accounts only when you ask it to, or as you have set it to (for example, taking a sold copy down from the other sites). You must follow each site's own terms and policies; you are responsible for your listings (what you say about a record, its grade and its price) and for the records you sell. Those sites are not part of Everycrate: they can change or stop what their systems allow, and their fees are theirs. You can disconnect any of them at any time in Settings.

eBay. If you connect an eBay account, your use of eBay's APIs through Everycrate is also governed by the eBay API License Agreement, and you agree to be bound by it as it applies to that use. eBay Inc. is a third-party beneficiary of these terms and of that agreement and may enforce them directly. Your permission to use eBay's APIs through Everycrate is a sublicense that can be revoked at any time.

Etsy. If you connect an Etsy shop, you agree to follow Etsy's terms and seller policies for everything Everycrate does in your shop. The term "Etsy" is a trademark of Etsy, Inc. This application uses Etsy's API, but is not endorsed or certified by Etsy.

Discogs. Everycrate uses Discogs' API with your own Discogs account, and you agree to follow Discogs' Terms of Service and API Terms of Use. This application uses Discogs' API but is not affiliated with, sponsored or endorsed by Discogs. "Discogs" is a trademark of Zink Media, LLC.

8. Reading photos with AI

Everycrate sends the photos you take to Anthropic's AI service to read them. Its readings of labels, runouts and condition, and the prices it suggests, can be wrong. Check them before you list: what you list, and at what price, is your decision. Reading photos and checking the market have a monthly allowance with each plan, stated in section 3 and on the pricing page; we may also pause them for everyone for the rest of a week when our own AI budget for that week is used up. Your records wait meanwhile, and nothing is lost.

9. Fair use

Do not use Everycrate to sell anything illegal, counterfeit or unauthorised (bootlegs included), to mislead buyers, to break the rules of the sites you sell on, to collect data from those sites beyond what selling your own records needs, to reach anyone else's account or data, or to overload or copy the service. Do not resell access to it.

10. Availability and changes

We work to keep Everycrate running and your records safe, but we cannot promise it will never be interrupted: servers, the sites you connect and the internet all fail sometimes. We may improve or change features. If we stop the service altogether, we tell you at least 30 days before and let you download everything.

11. Liability

Everycrate is provided as it is. As far as the law allows, we are not liable for lost sales, lost profits, or indirect losses, or for what the sites you connect do or fail to do, and our total liability to you is limited to what you paid us in the three months before the claim. Nothing in these terms limits a liability that the law does not allow to be limited.

12. Changes to these terms

If we change these terms in a way that matters, we tell you, and Everycrate asks you to agree to the new terms before you carry on. If you do not agree, you can cancel and download your records.

13. The law

These terms are governed by the laws of the United States and the state where we are based. If a part of them cannot be enforced, the rest still applies.
