Terms of Service
Last updated: September 16, 2026
What Habeo is
Habeo (habeo.app) is a display-first web application for cataloging and publicly showcasing physical collectibles. Habeo is not a marketplace. We do not process payments, hold funds, or facilitate transactions of any kind. Any buying, selling, or trading of items you see on Habeo happens entirely off-platform, between users, at their own risk. Habeo has no involvement in, and takes no responsibility for, any transaction arranged after users connect through the app.
Your account
You must provide an accurate email address to create an account. You're responsible for keeping your login credentials secure and for all activity under your account. You must be at least 18 years old to use Habeo, or the age of majority in your jurisdiction if higher. Habeo is not directed at children, and we do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 13.
Your content
You retain ownership of the photos, descriptions, and item information you upload. By uploading content, you grant Habeo a license to store, process, and display it as necessary to operate the service — for example, showing your items on your public collection page, or processing your photos through our image-cleanup and moderation tools. You're responsible for having the right to upload whatever you upload.
You agree not to upload:
- Content that is illegal, sexually exploitative of minors, or that depicts non-consensual sexual content
- Content that infringes someone else's copyright, trademark, or other rights
- Content intended to harass, threaten, or abuse another person
- Spam, or content unrelated to cataloging a genuine physical item
We use automated content moderation on uploaded photos (see Privacy Policy) and reserve the right to remove content or suspend accounts that violate these terms, with or without notice. Where we identify content that constitutes apparent child sexual abuse material, we are legally required to — and will — report it to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC), in addition to removing it.
Public visibility
Items you mark public are visible to anyone, including people without a Habeo account and search engines. Items you mark private are visible only to you. You control this per item. Regardless of an item's visibility setting, any value you record for it is private and is never shown on any public-facing page or API response.
The “nudge” feature
Habeo lets other signed-in users express interest in an item you've listed as public (“nudge to ask if selling”). A nudge shows you who sent it — their Habeo username, or a generic label if they haven't claimed one. It does not share either party's email address, and Habeo provides no in-app way to reply; any further contact happens off-platform and entirely at your discretion. Habeo is not a party to and has no responsibility for any exchange, sale, or communication that follows.
Reporting content
Any visitor, including without an account, can report an item they believe violates these terms. Reports are reviewed manually. Reporting doesn't guarantee removal, and we may decline to act on reports we determine are unfounded or made in bad faith.
Termination
You may stop using Habeo and request deletion of your account at any time by contacting hello@habeo.app. We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these terms.
Disclaimers and liability
Habeo is provided “as is,” without warranties of any kind. We do not guarantee the service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or secure. To the extent permitted by law, Habeo and its operator are not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of the service, including any dealings between users arising from the nudge feature. Nothing here limits liability where the law doesn't allow it to be limited.
Changes
We may update these terms as the product changes. Material changes will be reflected here with an updated date.
Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.
