Terms of service

Last updated 2026-10-04.

Dibs is operated by Iluvatar LLC, a Nevada limited liability company ("we"). By creating an account or connecting the extension, you agree to these terms. They are written for people rather than for court, and short enough to read; where they leave a question open, email support@dibs.deals and we will answer it.

What the service does

Dibs re-runs marketplace searches you save and alerts you when something new appears. The checking happens in your own browser, through our extension, using your own marketplace session. When the browser is closed, nothing is checked.

How often we check

Dibs aims to check every search as often as each site safely allows. Every check is a page your own browser loads, signed in to your own marketplace account, so the site sees each one as you.

To protect the health of those accounts, we may change how often we check — per site or per account — at any time and without notice. That includes slowing down or pausing checks on a site that limits your account with a rate-limit page, a security check or empty pages. When the site allows it again, Dibs picks the checks back up on its own, except after you have been signed out: those wait until you sign back in. The dashboard and the side panel show when a site is limiting your account.

Your account

You must be at least 18 and able to enter a contract. An account is for one person. Keep your sign-in to yourself: you are responsible for what happens under your account, including anything done by an extension or an AI assistant you connected to it.

Acceptable use

• The extension acts inside your own marketplace account, so you are responsible for your standing on the marketplaces you watch and for complying with their terms.
• Use Dibs to watch listings for yourself — not to harvest, republish or resell marketplace data.
• Do not work around your plan's limits or a rate limit, including by sharing one account among several people.
• Do not point a webhook at a system you do not run, or use Dibs to overload or attack anyone else's service.

Trademarks

Dibs is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Meta Platforms, Inc., craigslist, Inc. or OfferUp Inc. Facebook and Marketplace are trademarks of Meta Platforms, Inc.; Craigslist is a trademark of craigslist, Inc.; OfferUp is a trademark of OfferUp Inc. They are named here only to describe what Dibs works with.

Availability

The service is provided as-is, with no uptime guarantee. Alerting depends on a browser that is open and an extension that is connected — the dashboard tells you when yours has gone quiet, and that visibility is the guarantee we can honestly make.

Plans, billing and cancellation

• Paid plans are billed in advance through Stripe and renew monthly or yearly, whichever you chose, until cancelled. A yearly plan is emailed a reminder a week before it renews, with the amount and a link to cancel.
• Cancel any time from the billing portal in your settings; service continues to the end of the paid period and no further charge is made. We do not refund partial periods unless the law where you live requires it.
• Prices may change. We give at least 30 days' notice by email before a change that affects what you pay, and it applies from your next renewal after that notice.

Your data

What we store, who processes it, how long we keep it and how to get it out is in the privacy policy, which is part of these terms. The listings your searches find are yours to keep in Finds for as long as your account exists.

Changes to the service

We add things without notice. Before any change that materially reduces your plan — fewer searches, an alert channel taken off it — we give at least 30 days' notice by email. Changes to how often we check, made to protect your marketplace accounts, are not plan changes and need no notice (see How often we check). Marketplaces change their own pages without telling anyone, and a site can stop working with Dibs before we have fixed it; that is not a change we made, and we fix it as fast as we can. If we ever shut the service down, we give at least 90 days' notice and refund any paid period beyond the shutdown date.

Ending the agreement

You may close your account at any time from the settings page of your dashboard, and it takes effect at once. While a paid plan is active, cancel it from Billing first — the settings page asks you to — so an account that no longer exists is never charged. We may close an account that breaks these terms, after telling you what the problem is unless the situation does not allow it. Either way the extension stops working with the account, and your data is deleted as the privacy policy describes.

Warranty and liability

The service is provided as is, and we make no warranty about it — in particular, not that a search will catch every listing, that an alert arrives within a particular time, or that a given marketplace keeps working with Dibs. To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, including a listing someone else bought first, and our total liability to you for anything arising from the service is limited to the amount you paid us in the twelve months before the claim. Nothing here limits liability that cannot lawfully be limited.

You are responsible for how you use Dibs on the marketplaces you watch, and you will cover us for a claim that arises from that use — for instance, a marketplace objecting to what was done from your account.

The rest

• These terms are governed by the law of Nevada, USA, and its courts.
• Before a material change to these terms takes effect, we tell account owners by email or in the app. Continuing to use the service after that is acceptance. Price increases get 30 days' notice, as above; changes to how often we check, made to protect your marketplace accounts, need none.
• If a part of these terms is unenforceable, the rest still applies.
• Questions, notices and anything formal: Iluvatar LLC, by email at support@dibs.deals.
