Terms of Service

These Terms of Service (the "Terms") are a contract between you and Anton Grydz ("FTCG", "we", "us") and govern your use of ftcg.app and everything on it: the card catalogue, the game, packs, trades and related features (the "Service"). By creating an account, signing in or buying a pack, you accept these Terms. If you do not accept them, do not use the Service.

1. Who we are

• Seller: Anton Grydz, sole trader (empresário em nome individual).
• Tax ID (NIF): PT318517701.
• Address: Rua de Braga 71, 1 esq, Alcabideche, Portugal.
• Contact: mail@ftcg.app.
• Hosting: Vercel Inc., 440 N Barranca Ave #4133, Covina, CA 91723, USA — vercel.com.

2. Who can use FTCG

You must be at least 18 years old and legally able to enter into a contract. By using the Service you confirm that you are. You may not use the Service where doing so is prohibited by the law that applies to you, or if you are subject to sanctions imposed by the European Union, the United Nations or the United States. We may close any account we reasonably believe belongs to someone under 18.

3. Your account

• You sign in with a one-time code sent to your email address or with a Google account. One person, one account: you may not create, buy, sell, rent or share accounts.
• You are responsible for keeping access to your email and Google account secure, and for everything done through your account. Tell us at mail@ftcg.app as soon as you suspect someone else has access.
• The information you give us must be accurate. Your username must not impersonate anyone.

4. The game

FTCG is a collectible card game. You collect virtual cards through free daily rewards, quests, battles and packs; you can build a deck, battle other players and bots, trade cards with other players and turn cards into dust and back. The rules, rewards, limits, rarities, card statistics and balance of the game are set by us and may change over time to keep the game fair and interesting. Such changes are part of the game and do not give rise to compensation.

5. Cards, packs and dust are a licence, not property

• Cards, packs, dust and any other in-game items ("Virtual Items") are licensed to you, not sold. We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to use them inside the Service for as long as your account is in good standing. You do not own them.
• Virtual Items have no monetary value. They cannot be exchanged for money, cryptocurrency or anything of value, redeemed, withdrawn or refunded, either by us or by anyone else.
• Virtual Items may be traded only with other players, inside the Service, card for card, within the limits the game sets. Any sale, purchase, rental or trade of Virtual Items or accounts outside the Service, for money, cryptocurrency or otherwise, is prohibited and makes the Virtual Items involved void (see Sections 8 and 9).
• Pack cards are digital collectibles that exist only on ftcg.app. They are not NFTs and can't be withdrawn to a wallet, sold, or exchanged for money.
• We may correct Virtual Items granted by mistake (for example because of a bug or an error in crediting), and remove Virtual Items obtained in breach of these Terms.

6. Buying packs

6.1 Price and payment

Packs are sold for USDC on the Base network. The price, the number of packs and the set of each pack are shown before you pay and include any applicable taxes. You pay from your own wallet directly into our sale smart contract; we never hold your funds or your keys. Network fees are charged by the blockchain, not by us, and are paid by you.

Packs are not sold in every country. By buying a pack you confirm that you are not located in a country or region where such sales are restricted or prohibited. Where we can tell that you are, we do not offer packs for sale.

6.2 Blockchain payments are final

A blockchain transaction cannot be reversed by us or by anyone else. You are responsible for checking the amount, the network and the wallet you pay from before you sign. Packs are credited to the FTCG account whose linked wallet is the recipient of the purchase. A payment below the displayed price is not credited. If a valid payment is not credited, contact us with the transaction hash: we will either credit the packs it paid for or refund the payment.

6.3 What a pack contains

A pack contains five cards drawn at random from the released cards of its set, weighted by rarity, with at least one card of Uncommon rarity or higher. Before you buy, you know exactly what you are buying: five cards, from that set, with that guarantee. The specific cards are random and cannot be chosen or predicted. Opening a pack never pays out money or anything of monetary value; every outcome is a set of Virtual Items subject to Section 5.

The chance that any one card in a pack is of each rarity:

• Common: 58.4%
• Uncommon: 26.0%
• Rare: 13.5%
• Legendary: 2.1%

Every pack has at least one Uncommon or better. Within a rarity, every card in the set is equally likely.

6.4 Immediate delivery and the right of withdrawal

Packs are digital content supplied immediately after payment. If you are a consumer in the European Union or the United Kingdom, you normally have 14 days to withdraw from a purchase. By confirming your purchase you expressly request immediate supply of the packs and acknowledge that you lose your right of withdrawal once they are credited to your account. Purchases are final and not refundable, except where a payment went through and its packs were not credited (Section 6.2) and except for any right that mandatory law gives you.

6.5 Taxes

You are responsible for any taxes, reporting or other obligations that your use of cryptocurrency creates for you in your country.

7. Wallets and NFTs

• You may link one wallet to your account by signing a message. Signing it costs nothing and does not move funds. We will never ask for your private key or recovery phrase — anyone who does is not us.
• You are solely responsible for your wallet, its security and the transactions you sign. We are not responsible for losses caused by your wallet software, a compromised wallet, a phishing site or the blockchain itself.
• FTCG NFTs are separate tokens on the Base blockchain. Holding them can unlock perks in the Service (for example a one-time pack bonus or dust). These perks are part of the game: we may change or end them, and they create no obligation beyond what the Service offers at the time. We do not sell NFTs through the Service, and nothing in the Service is investment, financial or tax advice or a promise that any card or NFT will have or keep any value.
• Third-party services we link to or rely on — OpenSea, wallet providers, the Base network — are governed by their own terms, and we are not responsible for them.

8. Rules of conduct

You agree not to:

• cheat, or use bots, scripts, automation, modified clients or any exploit of a bug;
• create or use more than one account, including to collect free rewards, referral rewards or trades from yourself;
• buy, sell or rent accounts;
• buy, sell or trade cards, packs, dust or any other Virtual Items for real money, cryptocurrency or anything of value, or offer to;
• interfere with, overload, probe or attack the Service, or access it other than through its interface;
• scrape, copy or reverse-engineer the Service except where the law expressly allows it;
• choose a username, avatar or bio that is unlawful, hateful, sexual, harassing, infringing or misleading;
• use the Service for fraud, money laundering or any unlawful purpose.

If you find a bug that gives an unfair advantage, report it to mail@ftcg.app rather than using it.

9. Suspension and termination

If you breach these Terms, we may, in proportion to the breach, remove the Virtual Items concerned, restrict features, or suspend or close your account. Except where urgent action is needed to protect the Service or other players, or where the law prevents it, we will tell you why and give you the opportunity to respond at mail@ftcg.app.

In particular, we may suspend or close any account involved in buying, selling or renting accounts, or in trading cards, packs, dust or other Virtual Items for real money or cryptocurrency, and remove the Virtual Items concerned.

You may stop using the Service and ask us to delete your account at any time. When an account is closed, its licence to Virtual Items ends; they are not refunded or transferred, except as mandatory law requires.

10. Your content

You keep the rights to the username, avatar and bio you add. You grant us a worldwide, royalty-free licence to host, display and reproduce them in the Service for as long as they are on your account, and you confirm you have the right to grant it. We may remove content that breaks these Terms or the law.

11. Our intellectual property

The Service, its card art, names, logos, software and design belong to us or our licensors. Apart from the licence in Section 5 and your right to share links and screenshots of your own collection for non-commercial purposes, these Terms give you no right to use them.

12. Availability and changes to the Service

We work to keep the Service available but do not guarantee it will be uninterrupted or error-free. We may change, suspend or discontinue any part of it. If we discontinue the Service as a whole, we will give at least 30 days' notice by email and on the site, and stop selling packs from the day of that notice.

13. Disclaimer

To the extent permitted by law, the Service is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement. This does not affect the legal guarantees of conformity that consumers have under mandatory law, including for the digital content they buy.

14. Limitation of liability

To the extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect or unforeseeable loss, loss of profits, loss of data, or loss of or changes to Virtual Items, and our total liability to you for all claims relating to the Service is limited to the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim, or €100 if greater.

Nothing in these Terms limits or excludes liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, for gross negligence or wilful misconduct, or any other liability that cannot be limited or excluded by law, and nothing affects the rights you have as a consumer under the mandatory law of your country of residence.

15. Indemnity

To the extent permitted by law, you will compensate us for third-party claims and the costs arising from your breach of these Terms or your misuse of the Service.

16. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms, for example when the game or the law changes. For changes that materially affect you, we will notify you by email or in the Service at least 30 days before they take effect. If you do not agree, you may close your account before then; continuing to use the Service after that date means you accept the new Terms. Purchases are always governed by the Terms in force at the time of purchase.

17. Governing law and disputes

• These Terms are governed by Portuguese law. If you are a consumer, you also keep the protection of the mandatory provisions of the law of your country of residence.
• Please contact us first at mail@ftcg.app: most issues can be solved directly.
• You can file a complaint in the electronic Complaints Book (Livro de Reclamações Eletrónico) at www.livroreclamacoes.pt.
• Alternative dispute resolution: if you are a consumer and we have not resolved your complaint, you may refer it to CNIACC – Centro Nacional de Informação e Arbitragem de Conflitos de Consumo (https://www.cniacc.pt). More information on alternative dispute resolution entities is available on the Consumer Portal, consumidor.gov.pt.
• Consumers may bring proceedings before the courts of their place of residence or of our address. For anyone else, the courts of Cascais, Portugal have exclusive jurisdiction.
• To the extent permitted by the law that applies to you, claims must be brought individually and not as a plaintiff or class member in any class, collective or representative action.

18. General

• These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, are the whole agreement between you and us about the Service.
• If any provision is found invalid, the rest of the Terms remain in force.
• Our not enforcing a provision is not a waiver of our right to do so later.
• You may not transfer your rights under these Terms. We may transfer ours to a successor operating the Service, provided your rights are not reduced.
