Terms of Service

1. Agreement to Terms

By accessing or using jointprice.com (the "Service"), operated by Longlost LLC dba Joint Price ("we," "us," or "our"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you disagree with any part of these terms, you may not access the Service.

2. Description of Service

Joint Price is a price discovery tool for service contracts. Each party privately enters a price: the seller enters the minimum fee they will accept, and the buyer enters the maximum budget they will pay. Each party may also set an optional limit: the seller a maximum for the joint price, the buyer a minimum. The platform calculates the midpoint of the minimum fee and the maximum budget; if that midpoint is above the seller's limit or below the buyer's limit, the joint price is that limit instead. No joint price is calculated if the maximum budget is below the minimum fee, or if the seller's limit is below the buyer's limit. The platform presents the joint price, if any, to both parties. The Service charges a one-time "Discovery fee" per price Discovery, stated in United States dollars (USD).

Joint Price is not a broker, agent, representative, fiduciary, dispute resolution service, contract negotiation platform, legal advisor, or payment facilitator. The Service performs mathematical operations on data you provide. It does not exercise professional judgment. Whether you accept or reject a calculated price is solely your decision. We are not a party to any engagement between buyers and sellers.

3. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years of age and capable of forming a legally binding agreement to use the Service. By using the Service, you represent and warrant that you meet these requirements.

4. User Accounts

The Service uses passwordless authentication via email sign-in links. You are responsible for maintaining access to your email account and for all activities that occur under your account. You agree to notify us immediately of any unauthorized use of your account at support@jointprice.com.

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts used for prohibited purposes, including fraud, abuse, submission of false information, or interference with the Service.

5. Price Discovery and Calculations

Prices calculated by the Service are for informational purposes only and do not constitute legal, financial, or professional advice. You are solely responsible for any decisions made based on the Service's calculations. Joint Price does not guarantee any particular outcome from use of the Service.

All monetary calculations are performed in whole United States cents. Where a calculation produces a fractional cent, the result is rounded down to the nearest whole cent. We are not liable for any consequences arising from the mathematical results of these calculations.

6. Fees, Payment, and Refunds

The Service charges a one-time Discovery fee per price Discovery, calculated as a percentage of the minimum engagement value. All fees are stated in United States dollars. Payment is processed by Stripe, Inc. We never see or store your payment card information.

No payment is collected until you choose to reveal the joint price. Discovery fees are non-refundable once the joint price has been revealed, because the service is complete at that point. The initiating party may cancel a Discovery before both parties have submitted their prices, at no charge.

For details, see our About and Support page.

7. Confidentiality of Price Data

The prices and limits each party enters are never directly disclosed to the other party. The Service reveals only the calculated joint price and does not disclose whether a limit was applied or why no joint price was found. However, users may be able to infer a submitted value from the joint price. This blind disclosure is fundamental to the Service's integrity.

8. Consent

Each Discovery requires your explicit consent to these Terms of Service and our Privacy Policy. We record the exact version of each document you agreed to, along with the date and time of your consent.

9. Prohibited Uses

You agree not to use the Service to:

• Violate any applicable law or regulation
• Transmit false, misleading, or fraudulent information
• Interfere with or disrupt the integrity or performance of the Service
• Attempt to gain unauthorized access to any portion of the Service
• Use the Service for any purpose that harms or could harm another party
• Create multiple accounts to circumvent usage limits or promotional restrictions

10. Intellectual Property

The Service and its original content, features, and functionality are and will remain the exclusive property of Longlost LLC and its licensors. Our trademarks and trade dress may not be used in connection with any product or service without our prior written consent.

You retain ownership of all prices, limits, and scope descriptions you submit. We do not claim any intellectual property rights over your submitted data. We use your submitted data solely to operate the Service as described in these Terms.

11. Disclaimer of Warranties

The Service is provided on an "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE" basis without warranties of any kind, either express or implied, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement.

12. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, our total aggregate liability to you for any claims arising out of or relating to the Service or these Terms shall not exceed the fees you paid to us in connection with the applicable Discovery.

In no event shall we be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including loss of profits, data, or goodwill, arising out of or in connection with your use of the Service.

13. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Longlost LLC and its officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or in any way connected with: (a) your breach of these Terms; (b) your violation of any applicable law or regulation; or (c) your use of the Service.

14. Dispute Resolution

Any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service shall be resolved by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) in Rhode Island in accordance with AAA's then-current rules.

You agree that any arbitration shall be conducted on an individual basis and not as a class, consolidated, or representative action. You waive any right to participate in a class action lawsuit or class-wide arbitration against us.

15. Governing Law

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Rhode Island, without regard to its conflict of law provisions.

16. Changes to Terms

We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. We will update the "Last updated" date on this page. Each Discovery captures the exact version of these Terms you agreed to, so changes do not retroactively apply to prior Discoveries.
