Terms of use

Last updated November 7, 2026

Scan If Found is run by Rec-Safe (RECSAFE), a Washington corporation ("we" and "us"). By using Scan If Found, you agree to these terms. If you don't agree, please don't use it.

What Scan If Found is

Scan If Found puts a QR code sticker on your gear, so whoever finds it can let you know without seeing your details, unless you choose to share them. It's free to use. We may change it, add to it, or stop it at any time.

Your account

Give true information, keep your sign-in to yourself (your email, your passkeys, and any password or PIN), and tell us at info@rec-safe.com if you think someone else has used it. You're responsible for what's done with your account.

What you put on Scan If Found

What you add (item details, photos, reports, and directory listings) stays yours. You give us permission to store it, show it to the people it's meant for, and copy it as needed to run Scan If Found (in backups, for example). Only add what you have the right to share, and nothing that's unlawful, hateful, harassing, private to someone else, or meant to mislead. We may remove anything that breaks these terms.

Using it fairly

Please don't break the law with Scan If Found, try to get into anyone else's account or our servers, overload it or copy it in bulk with automated tools, send spam, or use it to harm anyone. We may suspend or end the use of anyone who does.

Not an emergency service

If someone may be in danger, call 911, or on the water the Coast Guard on VHF channel 16. Scan If Found can't promise that anyone will see a report in time, or that a lost item will come back.

No guarantees

We work to keep Scan If Found running and accurate, but it's provided as it is, without any warranty: it may have mistakes, and it may be unavailable at times.

Limits on our responsibility

As far as the law allows, Rec-Safe isn't responsible for any indirect loss or damage from using Scan If Found (or not being able to), and our total responsibility for any claim is limited to what you paid us for Scan If Found in the 12 months before it, or $50 if you paid nothing. Some places don't allow these limits, so they may not all apply to you.

The law that applies

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Washington and the federal laws of the United States, and any dispute goes to the courts of Washington. Nothing in these terms takes away rights you have under the consumer-protection laws where you live.

Changes and questions

We may update these terms; the date at the top says when we last did, and using Scan If Found after a change means you accept it. Our privacy policy says what we keep and why. Questions? Email info@rec-safe.com.
