Terms of Service
Last Updated: 1/28/2026
Article 1. General Provisions
1.1. Purpose and Scope These Terms of Service (hereinafter "Terms") constitute a legally binding agreement between [Your Legal Entity Name] and the individual (hereinafter "User") regarding the use of the "Cardz.game" platform (hereinafter "the Service"). By connecting a digital wallet, accessing the website, or initiating any transaction on the blockchain via the Service, the User agrees to be bound by these Terms without reservation.
1.2. Relationship to Other Rules Any separate rules, guidelines, probability tables, shipping policies, or "Help Center" articles posted by the Company on the Service shall constitute an integral part of these Terms. In the event of a conflict between these Terms and such subsidiary rules, the specific rule or guideline shall prevail solely regarding that specific subject matter.
1.3. Modification of Terms The Company reserves the right to modify, amend, or restate these Terms at its sole discretion at any time. Modifications shall become effective immediately upon posting on the Service. It is the User’s responsibility to review the Terms periodically. Continued use of the Service following any changes constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
Article 2. Definitions
For the purposes of these Terms, the specific meanings of the following terms are defined as follows:
"User": An individual who has connected a compatible blockchain wallet to the Service and satisfied the eligibility requirements.
"Cryptocurrency": The specific digital tokens (e.g., SUI, USDC) supported by the Service for payments and payouts. This expressly excludes any internal "points" or "credits."
"Protocol": The Jackson.io decentralized protocol, the Sui Blockchain, and any associated smart contracts that facilitate the settlement of transactions on the Service.
"Mystery Pack" (Gacha): A purchase mechanism where the User expends Cryptocurrency to receive a randomized Digital Asset.
"Digital Asset" (Record): An immutable ledger entry or object on the blockchain that legally represents the User’s bailment title and ownership of a specific Physical Item held in the Company's custody.
"Physical Item": The tangible trading card, sealed box, or memorabilia stored in the Company’s Vault corresponding to a Digital Asset.
"Vault": The secure storage facility (located in Japan or a third-party partner facility) where Physical Items are held.
"Buyback" (Liquidation): The separate contract of sale where the User sells a Digital Asset back to the Company in exchange for Cryptocurrency.
Article 3. User Eligibility and Account Management
3.1. Eligibility Criteria The Service is strictly limited to individuals who meet all of the following criteria:
Are at least 18 years of age (or the age of majority in their jurisdiction).
Have the legal capacity to enter into binding contracts.
Are not resident in a jurisdiction where the use of blockchain assets or "Gacha" mechanics is prohibited by law.
Are not a person designated on any trade embargo or sanctions list (e.g., OFAC).
3.2. Wallet Responsibility (Self-Custody) The Service operates on a "Bring Your Own Wallet" model. The Company does not maintain user accounts with passwords; identity is established via wallet connection.
Security: The User is solely responsible for the security of their private keys, seed phrases, and hardware wallets. The Company cannot recover access to a User’s assets if the User loses their private keys.
Liability: The Company shall not be liable for any loss or theft of assets resulting from phishing attacks, malware, compromised devices, or User error.
3.3. Prohibited Registration The Company reserves the right to blacklist specific wallet addresses or restrict access if the User is found to be:
Using automated scripts to manipulate the Service.
Engaging in "Multi-Accounting" to abuse promotional offers.
Providing false information regarding shipping or tax residency.
Article 4. Purchase of Mystery Packs (Gacha)
4.1. Direct Crypto Payment The Service does not utilize a prepaid "Point" system. All purchases are executed directly via Cryptocurrency.
Execution: Upon the User's confirmation, the requisite Cryptocurrency is transferred from the User's wallet to the Company (or the Protocol's settlement contract).
Gas Fees: The User acknowledges that all transactions incur network fees ("Gas") payable to the Sui network validators. These fees are non-refundable and outside the Company's control.
4.2. Irreversibility The User acknowledges that blockchain transactions are technically irreversible. Once a transaction is broadcast to the network, it cannot be canceled or refunded by the Company. All sales are final.
4.3. Performance of Service The Service is deemed fully performed by the Company at the precise moment the randomization result is generated and the corresponding Digital Asset is assigned to the User's ledger/inventory. The User has no right of withdrawal or "cooling-off" period once the pack has been opened.
Article 5. Gacha Mechanics and Probabilities
5.1. Random Number Generation (RNG) The outcome of any Mystery Pack is determined by a cryptographic Random Number Generator. The User accepts that the results are based purely on chance.
5.2. Probability Disclosure The Company shall display the potential contents of each Mystery Pack and the probability (odds) of obtaining specific rarity tiers on the purchase page.
Variance: The User understands that stated probabilities are calculated over a large sample size and may not reflect the outcome of a small number of draws.
No Guarantee of Value: The User explicitly acknowledges that the Fair Market Value (FMV) of the Physical Item received may be significantly lower than the cost of the Mystery Pack. The User assumes the risk of financial loss.
Article 6. Ownership, Bailment, and Vaulting
6.1. Transfer of Title Upon the issuance of a Digital Asset to the User, legal title to the underlying Physical Item transfers immediately to the User.
6.2. Bailment Agreement Simultaneous with the transfer of title, the User enters into a Bailment Agreement with the Company.
Company's Role: The Company agrees to hold the Physical Item as a Bailee (Custodian) for the sole benefit of the User.
User's Role: The User acts as the Bailor and retains the right to direct the disposition of the item (e.g., Redemption or Buyback).
6.3. Storage Terms
Storage Fees: The Company currently waives storage fees. However, the Company reserves the right to introduce storage fees for items held longer than 365 days (or another specified period) by providing 30 days' notice.
Abandonment: If a User fails to pay introduced storage fees or leaves an account inactive for a period exceeding two (2) years, the Company reserves the right, to the extent permitted by law, to consider the Physical Items abandoned and liquidate them to cover administrative costs.
6.4. Insurance Policy The Company maintains commercial insurance covering the Vault against theft, fire, and water damage.
Valuation: In the event of a total loss, compensation is strictly limited to the Fair Market Value of the item at the time of the loss event, as determined by an independent third-party pricing guide (e.g., PriceCharting, TCGPlayer). Compensation is not based on the potential speculative value or the Pack price.
Article 7. Redemption (Physical Delivery)
7.1. Redemption Request Users may request physical delivery ("Redemption") of their owned items via the Service interface.
7.2. Shipping Fees (Variable) The Service does not offer fixed-rate shipping.
Calculation: Shipping fees are calculated dynamically at the time of the request based on: (1) Destination Country, (2) Total Weight/Volume, (3) Current Fuel Surcharges, and (4) Insurance costs.
Payment: Shipping fees must be paid in Cryptocurrency before the shipment is processed.
Consolidation: The Company reserves the right to consolidate multiple redemption requests from the same User into a single shipment for efficiency.
7.3. Duties and Taxes (DDU) All shipments are sent Delivered Duty Unpaid (DDU).
User Responsibility: The User is the legal "Importer of Record." The User is solely responsible for paying all import VAT, consumption tax, customs duties, and clearance fees levied by the destination country.
Return to Sender: If a package is returned to the Company because the User refused to pay customs duties or provided an invalid address, the User forfeits the shipping fee. The Company may charge a Restocking Fee equivalent to the cost of return shipping.
7.4. Delivery Risk Risk of loss passes to the User upon the Company's delivery of the item to the shipping carrier (FOB Origin). While the Company may assist in filing claims with the carrier, the Company is not liable for packages lost or damaged in transit.
Article 8. Buyback (Liquidation) Service
8.1. Nature of Buyback The Company may, at its sole discretion, offer to purchase a Digital Asset from the User ("Instant Sell"). This transaction constitutes a separate Contract of Sale where the User is the Seller and the Company is the Buyer.
8.2. Dynamic Pricing The Buyback Price is dynamic and determined by the Company's proprietary algorithm based on:
Real-time market data.
Company inventory levels.
Cryptocurrency price volatility. There is no guaranteed buyback ratio. The offer price may fluctuate significantly from moment to moment.
8.3. Payment in Crypto Proceeds from a Buyback are paid strictly in Cryptocurrency (e.g., USDC or SUI) sent directly to the User's connected wallet. No internal credits or "store points" are issued.
8.4. Right to Refuse The Buyback service is not a guaranteed right. The Company reserves the absolute right to:
Disable the Buyback feature entirely during periods of high volatility.
Refuse to buy back specific items.
Limit the total volume of Buybacks per User per day.
Article 9. Prohibited Acts
The User agrees not to engage in any of the following activities:
Market Manipulation: engaging in wash trading, collusion, or "pump and dump" schemes regarding the Digital Assets.
Technical Abuse: using bots, scrapers, emulators, or modified client software to access the Service.
Exploiting Vulnerabilities: knowingly exploiting bugs, glitches, or logic errors in the Jackson.io smart contracts or the Service's RNG to gain an unfair advantage.
Money Laundering: using the Service to obscure the source of illicitly obtained funds.
Sanctions Violation: accessing the Service from a sanctioned jurisdiction (e.g., North Korea, Iran, Syria, Russia).
Chargebacks: attempting to reverse a crypto transaction or filing a dispute with a credit card issuer (if on-ramp services are used) after receiving the result of a Mystery Pack.
Consequences: Violation of this Article will result in the immediate Termination of the User's access, the freezing of any pending transactions, and the potential forfeiture of Digital Assets to the extent required by law.
Article 10. Disclaimer of Warranties
10.1. "As Is" Basis The Service is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis without any warranties of any kind, whether express or implied. The Company specifically disclaims warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.
10.2. Blockchain Risks The User acknowledges the inherent risks of blockchain technology, including but not limited to:
Protocol Failure: Bugs or exploits in the Jackson.io protocol or Sui Blockchain.
Network Congestion: High gas fees or delayed transaction finality.
Immutable Errors: The inability to reverse accidental transfers sent to the wrong address. The Company shall not be liable for any loss of funds or assets resulting from these technological risks.
10.3. Grading and Condition
Graded Cards: The Company relies entirely on the certification of third-party grading authorities (PSA, BGS, CGC, etc.). The Company makes no independent representation regarding the accuracy of such grades.
Raw Cards: Condition assessments for raw cards are subjective opinions of the Company's staff. The Company does not guarantee that a raw card will achieve a specific grade if submitted for grading.
Article 11. Limitation of Liability
11.1. General Limitation To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the Company, its affiliates, directors, and employees shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including loss of profits, data, or goodwill.
11.2. Monetary Cap In the event the Company is found liable for damages (excluding cases of willful misconduct or gross negligence under Japanese Law), the Company’s total cumulative liability shall not exceed the total amount of Cryptocurrency actually received by the Company from the User in the transaction giving rise to the claim.
Article 12. Exclusion of Anti-Social Forces
12.1. Representation The User represents and warrants that they are not a member of, or affiliated with, any organized crime group (Boryokudan), corporate racketeers (Sokaiya), or other anti-social forces as defined by Japanese law.
12.2. Immediate Termination If the User is found to be an anti-social force, or engages in violent or threatening behavior toward the Company or its staff, the Company shall immediately terminate the agreement and forfeit all assets held in custody without compensation.
Article 13. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution
13.1. Governing Law These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Japan.
13.2. Exclusive Jurisdiction All disputes, controversies, or differences arising out of or in connection with these Terms shall be submitted to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Tokyo District Court in the first instance.
Article 14. Consumer Contract Act (Japan)
If the User qualifies as a "Consumer" under the Consumer Contract Act of Japan:
Any provision in these Terms that fully exempts the Company from liability for its own default or tort shall not apply.
Any provision that partially limits the Company's liability for damages caused by the Company's willful misconduct or gross negligence shall not apply.
Article 15. Severability and Waiver
If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect. The failure of the Company to enforce any right or provision of these Terms shall not be deemed a waiver of such right or provision.
