Terms of Service

1. Who We Are and What These Terms Cover

Kron is operated by Paleo Holdings, LLC, a Texas limited liability company ("Kron," "we," "us," or "our"). These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of the Kron mobile application, the website at kron.watch, and any related services we operate (together, the "Services").

By creating an account or using the Services, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Services.

Please read Sections 5, 6, 7, 15 and 19 carefully. They describe the limits of what Kron tells you about a watch, disclaim warranties, limit our liability, and require most disputes to be resolved by individual arbitration rather than in court.

2. Key Definitions

"Listing" means a watch offered for sale by a third party on a marketplace, as displayed in Kron.
"Marketplace" means a third-party platform, such as eBay, on which Listings are published.
"Seller" means the third party offering a watch for sale. Kron is never the Seller.
"Findings" means the automatically generated summary Kron displays about what a Seller has or has not stated in a Listing.
"Hunt" means a set of saved criteria against which Kron attempts to match new Listings.
"Portfolio" means the record you create of watches you own.

3. Eligibility and Accounts

You must be at least 18 years old to use the Services. You agree to provide accurate information when creating an account, to keep your credentials confidential, and to be responsible for all activity under your account. Notify us at support@kron.watch if you believe your account has been compromised.

We may suspend or terminate an account that violates these Terms.

4. What Kron Is, and What It Is Not

Kron is an information and search tool. Kron reads publicly available Listings from Marketplaces and presents them to you with an automated summary of their contents.

Kron is not:

a marketplace, a dealer, a broker, a consignor, or a seller of watches;
a party to any transaction between you and a Seller;
an authenticator, and performs no examination of any physical watch;
an appraiser, and issues no valuation, certificate, or opinion of value;
an escrow, payment, shipping, insurance, or dispute resolution service;
your agent, advisor, or fiduciary.

5. Listing Information and Automated Findings

This section describes the most important limit on the Services, and you should not use Kron unless you accept it.

Findings are produced by automated systems that read the text a Seller wrote. They are a summary of that text. They are not an inspection, an authentication, a condition report, or a verification of anything.

A Finding that a watch comes with box and papers means the Seller said so in the Listing. It does not mean we confirmed it, and it does not mean the box or papers are genuine or correspond to that watch.
A Finding that the Seller did not state something means the Listing is silent on that point. It does not mean the feature is absent, nor that it is present.
Automated systems make mistakes. A Finding may misread, omit, or misrepresent what a Listing says, and Listings themselves may be inaccurate, incomplete, misleading, or fraudulent.
Listings change, sell, and end. Prices, availability, photographs, and descriptions may differ from what Kron displays at any given moment.

You are solely responsible for your own diligence before buying a watch. Do not rely on Kron as the sole or primary basis for any purchase decision. Read the original Listing, ask the Seller your own questions, and obtain independent authentication or inspection where the value of the watch warrants it.

6. Price Context and Portfolio Values

Where Kron displays price context, comparisons, averages, ranges, or historical figures, those figures are derived from asking prices observed in Listings. They are not sale prices, appraised values, market values, or guarantees of what any watch will sell for or is worth.

Portfolio figures are estimates you may find useful for your own tracking. They are not appraisals, and they are not suitable for insurance, tax, lending, estate, or accounting purposes.

Nothing in the Services is investment advice, financial advice, or a recommendation to buy or sell anything. Watches are not investments offered by Kron, and we make no representation that any watch will hold or increase in value.

7. Hunts and Notifications

Hunts are provided on a best-effort basis. We do not guarantee that Kron will identify every Listing matching your criteria, that any notification will be delivered, or that it will be delivered promptly or at all.

Notification delivery depends on your device, your operating system, your network, and third-party delivery services outside our control. Kron is not liable for any opportunity you miss, including a watch you would have purchased had a notification arrived, arrived sooner, or matched differently.

The number of Hunts you may keep active may depend on your subscription tier.

8. Transactions with Third Parties

Every purchase is a transaction between you and the Seller, conducted on the Marketplace, governed by that Marketplace's terms and policies. Kron is not a party to it.

We have no responsibility for a Seller's conduct, the accuracy of a Listing, the authenticity, condition, or legality of any watch, payment, shipping, customs, insurance, returns, refunds, or any dispute between you and a Seller or Marketplace. Claims arising from a transaction must be pursued with the Seller or the Marketplace under their procedures.

9. Affiliate Relationships

Kron may participate in affiliate programs operated by Marketplaces and may earn a commission when you follow a link from Kron and make a purchase. This costs you nothing additional.

Affiliate relationships do not affect which Listings Kron shows you, how they are ranked, or what the Findings say about them. We do not accept payment from Sellers for placement or for favorable Findings.

10. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

scrape, crawl, harvest, or systematically extract data from the Services, or use any automated means to access them;
resell, redistribute, sublicense, or commercially exploit Listings, Findings, or any other content from the Services;
use the Services to build or train any dataset, model, or competing product;
reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to derive the source of the Services, except where that restriction is unenforceable by law;
circumvent any access restriction, rate limit, subscription tier, or security measure;
interfere with the operation or integrity of the Services;
use the Services for any unlawful purpose or in violation of any Marketplace's terms.

11. User Content

You retain ownership of the content you create in Kron, including Portfolio entries, notes, and photographs. You grant us a worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive license to host, store, reproduce, and display that content solely to operate and provide the Services to you.

You represent that you have the rights to any content you upload and that it does not infringe the rights of others.

12. Subscriptions and Payments

Kron offers a free tier and may offer paid subscription tiers with additional features.

Subscriptions are billed on a recurring basis through your Apple App Store account. All purchases are processed by Apple. Kron does not collect or store your payment information.
Your Apple ID will be charged at purchase and at the start of each renewal period unless auto-renewal is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period.
You may cancel at any time in your App Store account settings. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period.
We do not process refunds for partial subscription periods. All sales are final except as required by applicable law or by Apple's refund policies.
We may change subscription pricing. We will provide notice in the app or by email at least 30 days before a change takes effect, and a change will not apply to a period you have already paid for.
Features included in any tier may change. If we materially reduce what a paid tier includes, you may cancel.

13. Intellectual Property

The Services, including the Kron name and marks, the application, the website, the Findings, and all associated software, design, and compilations of data, are owned by Paleo Holdings, LLC and protected by intellectual property law. We grant you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the Services for their intended purpose.

Listings, photographs, and descriptions originate with Sellers and Marketplaces and remain the property of their respective owners. Watch brand names and trademarks belong to their owners. Kron is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by any watch manufacturer or Marketplace.

14. Mobile App and App Store Terms

If you obtained the app from the Apple App Store, you acknowledge that these Terms are between you and Paleo Holdings, LLC, not Apple; that Apple has no obligation to furnish maintenance or support; that Apple is not responsible for any claim relating to the app, including product liability, legal compliance, or intellectual property claims; and that Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms with the right to enforce them against you.

15. Disclaimers, Warranties, and Limitation of Liability

THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" BASIS WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

We do not warrant that the Services will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, or error-free, or that any Listing, Finding, price figure, or notification is accurate, complete, current, or reliable.

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, KRON AND PALEO HOLDINGS, LLC WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, GOODWILL, OR OPPORTUNITY, INCLUDING ANY LOSS ARISING FROM A PURCHASE YOU MADE OR DID NOT MAKE, A WATCH THAT WAS NOT AS DESCRIBED, OR A NOTIFICATION THAT WAS NOT DELIVERED.

OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS RELATING TO THE SERVICES WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS (US$100.00) OR (B) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US IN THE TWELVE MONTHS IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or the limitation of certain damages, so some of the above may not apply to you.

16. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Paleo Holdings, LLC and its members, officers, and agents from any claim, damage, loss, liability, and expense, including reasonable attorneys' fees, arising out of your use of the Services, your content, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any law or the rights of a third party.

17. Termination and Survival

You may stop using the Services and delete your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access at any time for violation of these Terms, or discontinue the Services in whole or in part.

Sections 4 through 10 and 13 through 19 survive termination.

18. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to its conflicts of law principles. Subject to Section 19, any legal action arising under these Terms shall be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in McLennan County, Texas, and you consent to their jurisdiction.

19. Binding Arbitration and Class Action Waiver

Any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Services shall be resolved exclusively by binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Consumer Arbitration Rules. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

You and Kron may bring claims against the other only in an individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, consolidated, or representative action. The arbitrator may not consolidate claims or preside over a representative proceeding.

Either party may bring an individual claim in small claims court instead of arbitration.

You may opt out of this Section 19 by sending written notice to legal@kron.watch within 30 days of first accepting these Terms. Opting out does not affect any other provision.

20. General Provisions

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, are the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Services. If any provision is held unenforceable, the remainder stays in effect. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. You may not assign these Terms; we may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.

We may modify these Terms. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date, and if the changes are material we will provide notice in the app or by email before they take effect. Continued use after that constitutes acceptance.
