Acceptance of these terms

By accessing or using vintage-tool-value-ledger.hub2.day (the "Site"), you agree to these Terms of Use. If you do not agree, please do not use the Site. Our privacy notice explains how information is handled and forms part of these terms.

Informational and convenience-only use

The Vintage Tool Value Ledger provides general information and convenience estimates about old hand tools, including suggested restoration approaches, collector interest levels, and general guidance on whether to keep, repair, or pass along an item. The Site is provided for personal, informational purposes only.

No professional advice

Nothing on the Site constitutes appraisal, valuation for insurance, tax, estate, or legal purposes, safety certification, or professional restoration, repair, or machining advice. Power tools, sharp edges, solvents, and older materials carry real hazards. For significant decisions, consult a qualified appraiser, restoration professional, or appropriate expert.

Verification of outputs

Results are estimates based on the information you enter and general patterns in the hobby. Values, rankings, and restoration steps can change with market conditions, condition details, and expert judgment. You are responsible for verifying any output before relying on it, including by checking maker marks, consulting reference literature, and inspecting the tool yourself.

Lawful use

You agree to use the Site only for lawful purposes and in a manner that does not infringe the rights of others or restrict their use of the Site.

Prohibited misuse

You may not attempt to interfere with the Site's operation, probe or overload its infrastructure, scrape it in a way that degrades service, submit harmful or malicious content, misrepresent your identity or affiliation, or use the Site to facilitate fraud, including fraudulent sale or misrepresentation of tools.
