1. AI-Generated Estimates
All item identifications and price estimates are generated by artificial intelligence. While we strive for accuracy by using real-time market data from Google Shopping and advanced AI models, results may be inaccurate, incomplete, or outdated. AI can misidentify items, miss important details, or provide pricing that does not reflect actual market value.
2. Not a Professional Appraisal
The Appraisal Wizard is not a substitute for a certified, licensed, or professional appraiser. Our service does not provide:
- Certified appraisals for insurance, legal, tax, or estate purposes.
- Authentication or verification of item genuineness.
- Grading of collectibles, coins, stamps, or trading cards.
- Guaranteed or binding valuations.
For high-value items, rare collectibles, antiques, fine art, jewelry, or items needed for legal or insurance purposes, always consult a qualified professional appraiser.
3. Pricing Accuracy
Prices shown are based on publicly available listings at the time of the appraisal. Actual sale prices may differ significantly due to:
- Item condition, authenticity, provenance, and rarity.
- Local market conditions and buyer demand.
- Listing prices vs. actual completed sale prices.
- Fluctuating market values (especially for precious metals, collectibles, and trending items).
4. Photo Limitations
AI identification is based solely on the photos you upload. Results may be affected by photo quality, lighting, angles, and visibility of brand labels, serial numbers, or distinguishing features. Submitting multiple clear photos from different angles will improve accuracy.
5. No Liability
XChannel and The Appraisal Wizard shall not be held liable for any losses, damages, or claims arising from reliance on our AI-generated estimates. This includes but is not limited to:
- Financial losses from buying or selling based on our estimates.
- Insurance claims based on our valuations.
- Misidentification of items or incorrect categorization.
- Any decisions made using our service as a primary source.
6. Third-Party Services
We rely on third-party services for AI processing and market data. We are not responsible for the accuracy, availability, or reliability of these services. Pricing data comes from publicly available listings and may not reflect verified completed sales.
7. Use at Your Own Risk
By using The Appraisal Wizard, you acknowledge that all estimates are provided "as is" without warranty of any kind, express or implied. You agree to use the service at your own risk and understand that our AI estimates are a starting point for research, not a definitive valuation.
