🎉 Hey There, Future Label Legend!
You're about to dive into the world of Stickovate Smart Labels (brought to you by the fine folks at Ryan Winkel Ventures). By using our website, ordering our magical little stickers, or just poking around, you're agreeing to play by these rules. Don't worry - we made them as painless as possible! 🏷️
1
What's the Deal Here? 🏷️
Stickovate Smart Labels are like tiny superheroes for your stuff! They're water-resistant (not waterproof - they're not submarines 🚢) and their superpower is helping lost items find their way home to you.
💡 Fun Fact: These labels won't make your stuff smarter, but they'll definitely make losing it way less painful! Think of them as GPS for your belongings, minus the satellite and the monthly bill.
Labels are for lost item recovery purposes only. They're helpers, not miracle workers!

The "Are You Old Enough?" Section 🎂
Before we get this party started, let's make sure everyone's invited properly:
- You're 18+ OR you've got your parent/guardian's blessing (and supervision)
- Parents/guardians: please keep an eye on what info shows up when those QR codes get scanned
- The contact info you give us needs to be real - no fake phone numbers or email addresses like "totallyreal@notfake.com"
🚨 Reality Check: Whatever contact info you enter becomes public when someone scans your QR code. That's literally the point - so people can return your stuff! By buying labels, you're saying "yes, I'm cool with this contact info being shared for recovery purposes."
Just so we're clear: Ryan Winkel Ventures isn't responsible if someone uses your publicly displayed info to spam you about your car's extended warranty. We're here for lost item recovery, not telemarketer protection! 📞

The "Please Don't Be That Person" Section 🚫
Look, we're all adults here (or supervised minors), so let's keep it classy. The following will get your labels disabled faster than you can say "but I was just joking":
- Profanity in highlight messages or reward sections that would make your grandmother wash your mouth out with soap 🧼
- Illegal stuff (we're not your accomplices, and orange isn't our color)
- Threats, harassment, or generally being a digital bully
- Bot behavior (we can tell, and it's weird)
⚠️ The "Oops, You Messed Up" Policy: Break these rules and your smart labels become very expensive regular stickers. No refunds, no exceptions, no "but my account got hacked" stories.

Orders, Shipping & The "All Sales Are Final" Reality 📦
Here's how the magic happens:
- We print your labels fresh to order (like pizza, but stickier) and ship in 1–3 business days
- All sales are final (no take-backsies)
- Refunds only happen if WE mess up (defects, wrong orders, etc.)
- If YOU mess up your text/phone/email, no worries! You can update it anytime after activation
- Once USPS takes your package, shipping delays are between you and your mail carrier
- Acts of God, supply chain chaos, or zombie apocalypses are not our fault
🎯 Pro Tip: Double-check your info before ordering, but don't stress too much - the important stuff can be changed later!
5
The "This Is Our Stuff" Section 🎨
All the cool Stickovate designs, website content, and brilliant ideas belong to Ryan Winkel Ventures.
Translation: No copying, reproducing, or trying to start "Stickovate 2: Electric Boogaloo" without written permission. We worked hard on this stuff!
6
Privacy & Data (We're Not Creepy, Promise) 🔒
Here's what data we collect and why:
- Order info (so we can ship your labels, obviously)
- Contact details (so the QR recovery system actually works)
- Email for order confirmations, shipping updates, and scan alerts
🛡️ The Good News: We don't sell your data to sketchy companies. We're not a Social Media platform. We just want to help you get your stuff back!
We keep your data around for a reasonable time to make the QR system work.
📧 Electronic Communications: By using our service, you're signing up for emails. Order confirmations, shipping notifications, the works. It's 2025 - everything's digital!
7
The "We're Not Responsible for Everything" Section ⚖️
Our services come "AS IS" - like a garage sale item, but way more useful.
Ryan Winkel Ventures is not liable for:
- People using labels in weird ways
- Someone being mean to you because they found your contact info
- Typos in your submitted information
- QR codes having technical difficulties
- Third-party services having bad days
- The general chaos of modern life
🎯 Bottom Line: If we offer any compensation the Maximum liability = what you paid for your original smart label order. We're helpful, not miracle workers!
8
The "Don't Make Us Ban You" Section 🔨
We really don't want to suspend accounts, but sometimes people make us:
- Breaking the rules we just spent all this time explaining
- Fraudulent shenanigans or chargeback abuse
- Being generally awful to deal with
- Posting prohibited content (see section 3)
💳 Payment Drama: Got an issue? Talk to us first before going nuclear with chargebacks. Frivolous disputes = account termination.
9
The "Things Change" Section 🔄
- We might modify, pause, or end services (with reasonable notice, we're not monsters)
- These terms might get updated (we'll post changes here)
- Keep using the service after updates = you're cool with the changes
- Prices, features, and our general existence might change over time
🌟 Life Lesson: The only constant is change (and taxes, and people not reading terms of service).
10
Scan Notifications & Location Magic 📍
When someone scans your QR code, here's what happens:
- You get ONE email notification per day (we're not spammers)
- Premium members also get SMS alerts (max 3 per day, one every 4 hours)
- We'll tell you the approximate city where it was scanned (IP-based, not GPS)
- Location might show nearby towns - it's approximate, not CSI-level precise
- We don't collect personal info about the scanner (they're just trying to help!)
🎯 Reality Check: Getting a scan notification doesn't guarantee you'll get your stuff back. That depends on the finder being awesome enough to actually contact you!
11
Premium Membership (The VIP Experience) ⭐
Premium gets you the good stuff: free label refills, extra contact methods, custom button color, highlight messages, reward sections, no branding, SMS notifications, and priority support.
💎 The Deal: Cancel anytime. Refunds only if it's been less than 10 days since renewal AND you haven't requested label refills. Resubscribe anytime at current prices (which might have changed because, you know, inflation).
12
Legal Jurisdiction (The Boring But Important Stuff) ⚖️
- Indiana law governs these terms (we're Hoosiers!)
- Disputes get resolved in Indiana courts
- No class action lawsuits (individual disputes only)
- You agree to this jurisdiction by using our service
Severability: If part of these terms gets thrown out by a court, the rest still counts.
13
The "You've Got Our Back" Section 🛡️
You agree to protect Ryan Winkel Ventures and our team from legal trouble if you misuse our service or break these terms. Basically, if you cause drama, you handle the consequences.
🤝 Translation: We're all in this together, but if you break stuff, you bought it!
