Terms of Use

Effective April 2, 2026

These Terms of Use ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the services provided by MainMarket, Inc. ("MainMarket," "we," "us," or "our"), including the Cart by MainMarket mobile application ("Cart"), the Scout by MainMarket mobile application ("Scout"), and the MainMarket website and data platform. By accessing or using any of our services, you agree to be bound by these Terms.

Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years of age to use our services. By creating an account, you represent that you meet this requirement and that all information you provide is accurate and complete.

Account Responsibilities

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account. You agree to notify us immediately of any unauthorized use of your account.

Cart by MainMarket

Consumer Grocery App

Description of Service

Cart is a free consumer application that allows you to browse grocery pricing and product availability at stores near you, create and manage grocery lists, and track prices over time. Cart is an informational tool — you cannot purchase products through the app.

Pricing Data Disclaimer

Pricing and availability information displayed in Cart is collected from real stores and updated regularly, but we do not guarantee that it is accurate, complete, or current at the time you view it. Prices may vary due to in-store promotions, regional differences, or timing of data collection. Always verify prices at the point of purchase. MainMarket is not responsible for discrepancies between displayed prices and actual in-store prices.

Acceptable Use

You agree to use Cart for personal, non-commercial purposes only. You may not:

  • ●Scrape, crawl, or systematically extract data from the app
  • ●Redistribute, resell, or commercially exploit pricing data obtained through Cart
  • ●Use the app to engage in price-fixing or any anticompetitive activity
  • ●Attempt to reverse-engineer, decompile, or tamper with the application
  • ●Use the app in any way that violates applicable law

Scout by MainMarket

Gig Worker App

Independent Contractor Relationship

Scouts are independent contractors, not employees of MainMarket. Nothing in these Terms creates an employment, partnership, or agency relationship. You are solely responsible for your own taxes, insurance, and compliance with applicable labor laws. MainMarket does not withhold taxes on your behalf.

Scan Requirements

When you accept a scan job, you agree to:

  • ●Arrive at the assigned store location before beginning the scan
  • ●Walk every aisle of the store as instructed by the app
  • ●Use the provided MainMarket lanyard phone case with a compatible iPhone (iPhone 12 or newer)
  • ●Complete the scan in a single continuous session
  • ●Behave respectfully and follow all store policies while scanning
  • ●Not interfere with, obstruct, or disrupt store operations

Equipment

MainMarket provides a lanyard phone case at no cost to active Scouts. This equipment remains the property of MainMarket and must be returned if your account is deactivated. You are responsible for providing your own compatible iPhone (iPhone 12 or newer) and maintaining it in working condition.

Payment Terms

Payment for each completed scan is displayed upfront before you accept the job. Payment is released after your scan passes quality review. Payments are processed instantly via Stripe Connect to your linked account. MainMarket reserves the right to withhold payment for scans that fail quality review due to incomplete coverage, intentional obstruction, or fraudulent activity.

Quality and Fraud

MainMarket reviews all scans for quality and integrity. We reserve the right to reject scans and suspend or permanently deactivate your Scout account if we detect:

  • ●GPS spoofing or location manipulation
  • ●Submitting scans from a location other than the assigned store
  • ●Intentionally capturing incomplete or unusable imagery
  • ●Using modified or unauthorized software
  • ●Any other fraudulent or deceptive behavior

Account Termination

Either you or MainMarket may terminate your Scout account at any time. MainMarket may deactivate your account immediately and without notice if we reasonably believe you have violated these Terms or engaged in fraudulent activity. Upon termination, any pending payments for approved scans will still be processed.
