1. Valuation Estimates

Rare Index provides market data, price estimates, and valuations based on aggregated third-party sources, public market information, historical sales data, and proprietary analytics. These valuations are estimates only and may not reflect actual sale prices or market conditions at the time of a transaction.

Valuations are subject to:

• Market volatility and supply/demand fluctuations
• Condition, grade, and authenticity of individual items
• Geographic location and buyer/seller preferences
• Timing of sales and liquidity constraints
• Errors, omissions, or delays in data sources

Rare Index does not authenticate, appraise, or guarantee the value of any item. You should seek professional appraisal services for insurance, estate, or tax purposes.

2. Data Accuracy & Reliability

While we strive to provide accurate and up-to-date information, Rare Index makes no warranties or representations regarding the accuracy, completeness, timeliness, or reliability of any data displayed on the platform.

Data may be sourced from:

• Third-party market data providers
• Licensed data provider APIs and affiliate integrations
• Public auction results and sales records
• User-submitted information
• Automated data collection and normalization processes
• AI-assisted analytics and trend detection

We cannot guarantee the accuracy of third-party data or the continued availability of any data source. Data providers may change, be discontinued, or experience interruptions. You should independently verify all critical information before making any purchase, sale, or investment decision.

3. Not Financial Advice

Rare Index is not a registered investment adviser, broker-dealer, or financial planner. We do not provide personalized financial advice, recommendations, or investment guidance.

Nothing on the platform should be construed as:

• A recommendation to buy, sell, or hold any asset
• A prediction of future performance or market trends
• Investment advice tailored to your financial situation
• Tax, legal, or estate planning advice

You are solely responsible for your own investment decisions. You should consult with qualified financial, tax, and legal professionals before making any financial commitments.

4. Not an Authentication Service

Rare Index does not authenticate, grade, or certify collectibles. RI Certification is a data layer that links to third-party grading authorities and authentication services. It is not a substitute for professional authentication.

Always verify authenticity through qualified third-party services such as:

• PSA (Professional Sports Authenticator)
• CGC (Certified Guaranty Company)
• Beckett Grading Services
• PCGS (Professional Coin Grading Service)
• Other recognized grading and authentication authorities

Rare Index is not responsible for counterfeit, altered, or misrepresented items. We do not provide insurance, reimbursement, or legal recourse for fraudulent transactions.

5. Market Risks

Collectibles are speculative assets and carry significant financial risk. The collectibles market is subject to:

• High volatility and unpredictable price swings
• Limited liquidity and difficulty selling items quickly
• Condition degradation and physical damage over time
• Shifts in collector demand and market trends
• Economic downturns and reduced discretionary spending
• Counterfeit and fraudulent items entering the market

You may lose some or all of your investment. Only invest what you can afford to lose. Diversify your portfolio and do not rely solely on collectibles as an investment strategy.

6. No Guarantees

Rare Index provides the platform and data "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind. We do not guarantee:

• The accuracy, completeness, or timeliness of any data
• Uninterrupted or error-free service
• That defects will be corrected
• That the platform is free of viruses or harmful components
• That any particular asset will increase or maintain its value

7. Third-Party Links

The platform may contain links to third-party websites, services, or resources. Rare Index is not responsible for the content, accuracy, or availability of third-party sites. Links are provided for convenience only and do not constitute an endorsement.

8. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Rare Index and its officers, directors, employees, and agents shall not be liable for any damages arising from your use of the platform, including but not limited to:

• Financial losses from investment decisions
• Inaccurate or incomplete data
• Service interruptions or technical issues
• Unauthorized access to your account
• Third-party data errors or omissions

Our total liability to you shall not exceed the amount you paid us in the 12 months preceding any claim, or $100, whichever is greater.

9. Professional Advice

• Consult with a qualified financial adviser
• Obtain professional appraisals for high-value items
• Verify authenticity through recognized grading services
• Understand tax implications of buying and selling collectibles
• Research market conditions and trends independently
