Terms of Service
Last updated: November 3, 2026
Welcome to ("," "we," "us"). These Terms govern your use of the website and app at hoosells.com: the product finder, Snap & Sell, and the sharing and referral features for members and businesses (together, the "Service"). By using the Service you agree to these Terms. If you don't agree, don't use it.
1. What does
You can photograph or type an item to find nearby and online sellers of it, see a typical price and, where we have one, a fun fact. With Snap & Sell you can get an estimated resale value and a ready-to-use listing draft. Members can share local businesses' ads with people they know using a personal link, and earn a reward the business sets when someone they sent becomes a new customer. Identifications, prices, facts and listings are automated estimates, not guarantees, appraisals or professional advice. Check anything before you rely on it.
2. Eligibility and accounts
You must be at least 18 (or the age of majority where you live). You sign in with your email: we send a link and a 6-digit code that work once and expire in 20 minutes. Keep access to your email secure; anyone who can read it can sign in as you.
3. Your photos and content
You keep ownership of the photos and text you submit. You give a limited license to process them to provide the Service, including sending images to our AI provider to identify and describe items and to write listing text. Businesses also give us a license to show their ad photo, name, offer and listing in the Service. Don't upload content you don't have the right to use, or that is unlawful.
4. Snap & Sell: estimates and listings
- Price ranges are estimates from available market data (currently active online listings), not confirmed sold prices, and not a promise of what your item will sell for.
- Generated listings are drafts. You're responsible for checking them and for following the rules of any platform where you post (eBay, Depop, Poshmark, etc.).
- is not a party to any sale you make on another platform.
- Snap & Sell is currently free, with a daily limit on item checks and listings per person. If we start charging for full listings, the price is shown before you pay, through Stripe. Because a listing is delivered immediately, payments are generally non-refundable except where the law requires or at our discretion. Contact us if something went wrong.
5. Members (sharing and referrals)
- Joining is free. You never pay anything, and you don't earn anything for signing up other members.
- Only recommend businesses you would honestly recommend. Keep the "I may earn a reward" disclosure on anything you share; US law (FTC endorsement rules) requires it.
- Don't message people who haven't agreed to hear from you. Don't post codes on coupon sites, run paid ads with your link, open your own link repeatedly, ask people to open it without interest, or use bots or fake accounts. Members aren't paid for link opens.
- You earn the reward once the new customer is confirmed (after the void window). Redemptions that are voided, or that look like fraud, don't earn.
- Each business pays its own rewards to you directly, by store credit or by cash, Venmo or Zelle, as shown on its ad. does not hold or pay these rewards and isn't responsible for paying a reward a business owes. We track them, remind businesses, and pause the ad of a business that doesn't pay. You confirm in the app when a reward arrives, or tell us if it doesn't.
- Where a business's ad says pays its rewards, payouts are made through Stripe, which asks for identity details. If you earn $600 or more in a year, Stripe may send you a 1099 tax form.
- We can remove members who break these rules and withhold earnings tied to fraud.
6. Businesses
- You set your new-customer offer and the reward a sharer earns for each new customer. You honor your offer for anyone with a valid voucher or member code while your offer is live.
- Prices are set by and shown in your dashboard before you add funds. You add funds to a prepaid balance. Each counted open of a member's link costs the price per open. An open is counted only when your deal page has actually been shown in a browser. Opens by bots and link previews, repeat opens by the same person within 24 hours, opens by the sharer or you, opens over daily limits, and opens on links we flag as invalid (for example, many opens and no claims) are not charged; we credit back any we already charged.
- Your balance is prepaid advertising credit used for counted link opens (and, only if your dashboard says pays your sharers, for their rewards). It is not a deposit and earns no interest.
- You pay each sharer's reward yourself, in the way you chose (store credit, or cash, Venmo or Zelle), once the customer is confirmed, and mark it paid in your dashboard. does not collect or hold rewards for you. If a reward stays unpaid for the number of days shown in your dashboard after it's due, your ad pauses until it's paid. Changing the reward applies to deals claimed afterwards. You can void a redemption within the void window shown in your dashboard, and you won't owe that reward.
- If you turn on auto-refill, you authorize us to charge your saved card the refill amount you chose whenever your balance drops below the threshold shown, until you turn it off. If a refill is declined, auto-refill turns off and we email you.
- When your balance can't cover an open, your ad stops until you add funds. You can withdraw your unused balance from your dashboard at any time. It's refunded to the card it came from, less the card processing fee on that amount (the card network doesn't return it; your dashboard shows the exact amount first), and your ad pauses. Credit we add back for opens we flag as invalid can be used for future opens but isn't paid out as cash.
- If you dispute a charge with your bank for opens that were delivered, you agree we may share your acceptance of these Terms and the record of those opens with the card network, pause your ad while the dispute is open, and recover any amount reversed for opens already delivered.
- You can pause your ad at any time. There's no contract and no monthly fee.
7. Affiliate links
Some outbound links to online retailers are affiliate links, and may earn a commission on qualifying purchases at no extra cost to you. As an Amazon Associate, earns from qualifying purchases.
8. Acceptable use
Don't use the Service to list, find or promote prohibited, illegal, counterfeit, recalled or hazardous items, to abuse or overload it, to scrape it, to fake opens, claims or customers, or to break any law. We may suspend access for misuse.
9. Third-party services
The Service relies on third parties including Google (nearby places), Best Buy (prices and in-store stock), Amazon and other retailers, eBay, Anthropic (AI), Stripe (payments) and Resend (email). Your use of their results and links may be subject to their own terms, and we don't control their content or availability. We're not responsible for the goods or services businesses or retailers provide.
10. Disclaimers
The Service is provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including accuracy, merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose. We don't warrant that identifications, prices, facts, sellers, stock or listings are correct, complete or current.
11. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent the law allows, and its operators aren't liable for indirect, incidental or consequential damages, or for lost profits or sales, arising from your use of the Service. Our total liability for any claim is limited to the amount you paid us in the 3 months before the claim, or $50, whichever is greater.
12. Changes
We may update these Terms; the "last updated" date shows when. Continuing to use the Service after a change means you accept it.
13. Governing law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas, USA, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules.
