Chapter 2: Sales Contracts

Article 5 (Formation of Sales Contracts)

Users shall apply to purchase Products in accordance with the method prescribed by the Company on the Service.
A Sales Contract shall be formed when the Company accepts the User's purchase application and issues a notice of order confirmation or payment completion. However, the Company may decline to accept a purchase application or terminate a Sales Contract after its formation in any of the following cases:
- Where the Product is out of stock or cannot be provided due to inventory management reasons
- Where there is an error or misrepresentation in the price, stock, or other displayed information of the Product
- Where the User has violated these Terms or there are other inappropriate circumstances
- Where payment is not completed normally, or where there is doubt regarding the payment
- Where the purchase is deemed to be for the purpose of resale, hoarding, or any other purpose that the Company deems inappropriate
- Where the User is subject to measures under a blacklist or similar list separately established by the Company
Even if a User incurs damage as a result of the Company declining to accept a purchase application or terminating a Sales Contract pursuant to the preceding paragraph, the Company shall not be liable for such damage, except in cases of willful misconduct or gross negligence on the part of the Company.
Where the Company declines to accept a purchase application or terminates a Sales Contract after its formation pursuant to Paragraph 2, and the Company has already received payment from the User, the following shall apply:
- Where the reason is the absence of stock or inventory management reasons, errors or misrepresentations in the price, stock, or other displayed information, or doubt regarding the payment, among the reasons set forth in Paragraph 2: the Company shall refund the full amount of the payment already received.
- Where the reason is the User's violation of these Terms or other inappropriate circumstances, a purchase for the purpose of resale, hoarding, or any other purpose that the Company deems inappropriate, or the User being subject to measures under a blacklist or similar list separately established by the Company, among the reasons set forth in Paragraph 2: the Company shall refund only the balance remaining after deducting shipping costs, payment processing fees, actual costs incurred in preparing the shipment, and damages incurred by the Company; if no balance remains, no refund shall be made. However, this shall not preclude the Company, at its discretion, from refunding the full amount of the payment already received.

Article 7 (Condition and Quality of Products)

Products sold on the Service include new items as well as used items (including opened items and items that have previously been in the possession of others). Due to their nature, used trading cards may contain the following conditions arising in the course of manufacturing, distribution, and storage, and the User accepts this in advance:
- Factory scratches, whitening (edge wear), edge abrasion, dents, warping
- Printing misalignment, off-centering, uneven ink application
- Minor stains, fingerprints, surface scuffs, discoloration due to aging
- Other conditions that may normally exist in light of the type, age, and distribution circumstances of the Product
The Company shall indicate the condition of Products by means of images posted on the product page, condition rank or grade indications, and other descriptions. Users shall purchase Products after confirming such indications. Where the Company does not expressly indicate a specific condition rank, grade, or the like, the Product shall be deemed to be sold as a "used item" that may include the conditions set forth in the preceding paragraph.
Conditions within the scope of the condition or grade indicated by the Company, and conditions that may normally exist as set forth in the preceding paragraphs, shall not constitute a non-conformity with the terms of the contract (contractual non-conformity). Users may not make any claim whatsoever — including returns, exchanges, refunds, discounts, or damages — or raise any objection on the grounds of such conditions or on the grounds of a discrepancy with the User's subjective quality assessment or expectations.
The Company makes no warranty whatsoever regarding the authenticity, rarity, market price, or future asset value of trading cards. Even if, after the formation of a Sales Contract and regardless of whether before or after shipment of the Product by the Company, fluctuations (including declines) occur in the market price or prevailing price of the Product or products of the same kind, Users may not make any claim whatsoever — including returns, exchanges, cancellations, refunds, discounts, or damages — on such grounds.
The specific contents and handling of Product condition classifications and grades (including "PSA10", "Condition A", and other condition indications used by the Company) shall be governed by the "Appendix: Product Condition Standards" attached at the end of these Terms, which shall constitute a part of these Terms.

Chapter 3: Shipping and Delivery

Article 8 (Shipping Schedule)

After the formation of a Sales Contract and confirmation of payment, the Company shall endeavor to ship the Product in accordance with the estimated shipping schedule displayed on the Service or in the course of the order procedure. Unless otherwise notified by the Company on the Service or in the order confirmation email, the estimated shipping schedule shall, in principle, be within 21 days after the formation of the Sales Contract. The specific estimated shipping date for each individual order shall be notified to the User by the order confirmation email or other means prescribed by the Company.
Shipment within the estimated shipping schedule indicated by the Company shall not constitute a delay in performance (delayed shipment). Users may not make any claim whatsoever — including returns, cancellations, refunds, or damages — on the grounds of delay with respect to shipment within such schedule.
Where shipment is delayed due to any of the following causes or any other cause not attributable to the Company, the Company shall not be liable to the User for such delay in any way:
- Concentration of orders or shipping congestion during busy periods
- Natural disasters, severe weather, epidemics, or circumstances of transportation providers or delivery carriers
- Delays in payment confirmation, or deficiencies or errors in the delivery address information designated by the User
- Customs procedures and other circumstances associated with international shipping
- Other causes beyond the Company's reasonable control
Where there is no prospect of shipment significantly beyond the estimated shipping schedule, the Company may, upon notice to the User, cancel the order and refund the payment already received. In such case, the Company shall bear no liability exceeding the amount refunded.

Article 9 (Delivery, Risk of Loss, and Transfer of Ownership)

Delivery of a Product shall be deemed completed at the time the Product arrives at the delivery address designated by the User (including deposit into a mailbox or similar receptacle).
Ownership of and risk of loss for the Product shall transfer from the Company to the User at the time delivery under the preceding paragraph is completed. The Company shall not be liable in any way for damage, soiling, loss, theft, or misplacement of the Product occurring after such time.
Customs duties, import consumption taxes, customs clearance fees, and other import-related costs imposed in connection with shipment outside Japan (hereinafter referred to as "Customs Duties, etc.") shall be borne by the Company. If the Company changes its handling of the burden of Customs Duties, etc., it shall notify Users in advance by announcement on the Service or by individual notice.
Where, due to causes attributable to the User (deficiencies in delivery address information, extended absence, refusal to accept delivery, failure to provide information necessary for customs clearance, the Product falling under prohibited imports, or other refusal of customs clearance due to circumstances on the User's side, etc.), the Product is returned to the Company, detained by the delivery carrier or customs authority, or destroyed, the Company shall, in principle, not reship the Product. In such case, the Company may take the following actions, and the User may not make any claim whatsoever, including for refund of the price or damages:
- Storing the returned Product for a period prescribed by the Company and then disposing of it or reselling it in a manner the Company deems reasonable
- Not refunding the Product price and shipping costs already received
Notwithstanding the preceding paragraph, where the Company, in light of special circumstances, reships the Product at the User's request, the shipping costs, return shipping costs, storage costs, additional Customs Duties, etc., and other actual costs required for reshipment shall be borne by the User.

Chapter 4: Returns, Cancellations, and Refunds

Article 10 (Restrictions on Returns and Cancellations)

In view of the nature of the Products (being trading cards, having fluctuating resale value, requiring authenticity verification and prevention of swapping, etc.), returns, exchanges, cancellations, and changes to order details at the User's convenience shall, in principle, not be accepted. This Article constitutes the special return provisions (return policy) under the Specified Commercial Transactions Act, and no returns equivalent to a cooling-off after arrival of the Product shall be available on the Service.
As set forth in the preceding Articles, no claims for returns, refunds, exchanges, discounts, or damages may be made on the grounds of subjective assessments of the condition or quality of a Product or of conditions within the scope of the condition or grade indicated by the Company.
No claims for refunds or cancellations may be made on the grounds of shipment within the estimated shipping schedule indicated by the Company.
Even if, after the formation of a Sales Contract and regardless of whether before or after shipment of the Product by the Company, the market price or prevailing price of the Product or products of the same kind declines, Users may not make any claim whatsoever — including returns, exchanges, cancellations, refunds, or discounts — on the grounds of such decline.
Where the Company makes a refund to a User under these Terms, such refund shall, in principle, be made by cancellation (reversal) of the credit card payment used for the transaction. Where cancellation of the payment is not possible, or where the Company otherwise deems it appropriate, the Company may make the refund by bank transfer or other method designated by the Company. The timing at which the refunded amount is reflected on the card statement varies depending on the processing of the card issuer, and the Company does not guarantee such timing.

Article 11 (Exceptional Handling of Initial Defects, etc.)

Notwithstanding the preceding Article, only where any of the following items applies and the Company acknowledges that there is a cause attributable to the Company, the Company shall respond by one of the following methods: exchange of the Product, reshipment of an equivalent item, or refund. Such response may cover all of the ordered Products or only the part affected by the relevant cause, and the Company shall reasonably select the method and scope of the response:
- Where a Product different from the one ordered was delivered (wrong item)
- Where there is serious damage or defect that differs materially from the display on the product page
- Where there is a shortage in quantity
A User seeking the response under the preceding paragraph shall notify the Company's designated contact point within 10 days after arrival of the Product, together with the order number, photographs of the affected part, and other information requested by the Company. If no notification is made within such period, or if the information requested by the Company is not provided, the Company shall have no obligation to provide the response under this Article.
Damage or soiling arising from the User's opening or use of the Product, or occurring while under the User's control, shall be outside the scope of this Article. Where fraud such as swapping or intentional damage is suspected, the Company may refuse the response under this Article and conduct any necessary investigation.
Refunds under this Article shall be limited to the Product price received by the Company, and the Company shall not be liable for damages or any other liability exceeding such amount.
Where the Company requests the User to return the Product for exchange or reshipment of an equivalent item under this Article, the shipping costs required for such return shall be borne by the Company. However, where, as a result of the Company's inspection of the returned Product, it is found that damage or soiling occurred while under the User's control, that the requirements of this Article are not satisfied, or that the identity of the returned Product with the Product shipped by the Company cannot be confirmed, such shipping costs and actual costs associated with the return shall be borne by the User.

Article 12 (Handling of Chargebacks and Third-Party Claims)

Where a User intends to file an objection, chargeback, or other claim (hereinafter referred to as "Chargeback, etc.") with a card issuer, payment service provider, or other third party in relation to a payment on the Service, the User must first contact the Company's designated contact point and follow the procedures in accordance with these Terms and the Return & Refund Policy separately established by the Company.

- Records of communications between the User and the Company (email, contact forms, chat, etc.)
Where a Chargeback, etc. is filed without following the procedures under Paragraph 1, or where a Chargeback, etc. is filed based on false or unjustified grounds, such act shall constitute a material breach of these Terms and shall be subject to measures under Article 13 (Prohibited Acts) and Article 18 (Withdrawal and Forced Withdrawal).
Where the Company is unable to collect payment due to a Chargeback, etc., or incurs fees payable to payment service providers, response costs, or other damages, the User shall be liable to compensate the Company for the full amount of such damages (including attorneys' fees and collection costs).
The Company may use the history of Chargebacks, etc. filed and the corresponding response history as a basis for future decisions regarding the User within the Service (refusal of purchases, restrictions on use, forced withdrawal, measures against related accounts under Article 4, Paragraph 4, etc.).

Appendix: Product Condition Standards

These Standards set forth, pursuant to Article 7, Paragraph 5, the contents and handling of Product condition classifications and grade indications on the Service, and constitute a part of these Terms.

1. PSA10 (Graded Cards with the Highest Rating by a Grading Agency)

Graded cards bearing "PSA10" or other indications corresponding to the highest rating given by a grading agency may, by their nature, include the following conditions. The User accepts this in advance:

The card has a tiny spot of whitening.
The card has several tiny spots of whitening.
The card has a tiny dent.
A tiny foreign particle is enclosed inside the case.
The sealed part of the case has a slight whitened bubble-like area.
The case has slight cloud-like marks.
The case has tiny scratches.

Note: The above list of conditions is illustrative only; conditions other than those listed, or a combination of multiple such conditions, may also be present.
Note: Even a graded card exhibiting one or more of the above conditions shall be treated the same as an ordinary graded card product if its condition is comparable to the sample images separately presented by the Company on the Service, and products including the above conditions may be included. In addition, even for products with multiple units in stock, Users may not individually select the condition.

2. Condition A

A product labeled "Condition A" refers to a card with small scratches or scuffs on the edges or surface, small spots of whitening, mild dullness, or similar conditions.

Note: This condition is considered acceptable to the great majority of customers. For those who are not strict about card condition, such products can be recommended as they are less expensive than graded items that have undergone grading by a grading agency; however, they are not in mint condition. Customers purchasing for collection purposes should exercise due care.
Note: The types of conditions described are illustrative only; conditions other than those listed, or a combination of multiple such conditions, may also be present.

3. Products under these Standards and Contractual Non-Conformity

Products whose condition falls within the scope set forth in the preceding sections shall not constitute a non-conformity with the terms of the contract (contractual non-conformity) in accordance with Article 7, Paragraph 3. Users may not make any claim whatsoever — including returns, exchanges, refunds, discounts, or damages — or raise any objection on the grounds of such conditions or of a discrepancy with the User's subjective quality assessment or expectations.
