Provide accurate and complete information (name, email address).
Keep your login credentials confidential and not share them with others.
Notify us promptly if you suspect any unauthorised access to your account.

Account data (email address, name, session tokens) is stored by Clerk on our behalf.
Collection and binder data (owned card records, binder layouts) is stored in our database hosted on Supabase. This data is associated with your user account and persists across sessions and devices.
We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your data, but no system is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security.

You may request deletion of your account and all associated data at any time. See our Privacy Policy for details.

By creating an account, you consent to receive transactional emails necessary to operate the service, including:

Account verification and password reset emails.
Important security or service notifications.

You can opt in to marketing communications during sign-up or via your account settings.
You can withdraw your consent at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link in any marketing email or by contacting us. Opt-out requests are honoured within 10 business days.
Opting out of marketing emails does not affect transactional communications required to maintain your account.

7.User Content & Uploads

Some features let you upload images (for example, custom card placeholders) to the Service ("User Content"). You retain ownership of your User Content. These terms govern it:

Licence to us: You grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to host, store, reproduce, resize, and display your User Content solely for the purpose of operating and providing the Service to you. This licence ends when you delete the content or your account, except for back-up copies retained for a reasonable period.
Your responsibility: You are solely responsible for your User Content and confirm you have all rights necessary to upload it. Do not upload anything you do not have the right to use, or that is prohibited under Section 6.
Our rights: We do not pre-screen User Content, but we may remove, disable, or refuse any content at our sole discretion — including content we believe violates these Terms or any law — without notice and without liability to you.
Copyright complaints: If you believe content on the Service infringes your copyright, email us at [email protected] with a description of the work, the location of the material, and your contact details. We will review and remove infringing material where appropriate, and may terminate the accounts of repeat infringers.

Binder Placeholders participates in the TCGPlayer affiliate program (operated through impact.com) and the eBay Partner Network. This means:

Affiliate Links: When you click "Buy on TCGPlayer" or "Buy on eBay" buttons, you may be directed through an affiliate tracking link. If you make a purchase, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you.
No Influence on Content: Our participation in affiliate programs does not influence which cards we display. All card data is sourced from the TCGDex public API.
Your Choice: Using the buy buttons is entirely optional. You are free to visit TCGPlayer or eBay directly at any time.
Third-Party Terms: When you click through to any third-party site, you are subject to their terms of service and privacy policy. We are not responsible for the content, policies, or practices of third-party websites.

9.Disclaimers & Limitation of Liability

The website and our services are provided on an "as-is" and "as-available" basis. You agree that your use of the website and our services will be at your sole risk. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, in connection with the website and your use thereof, including the implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.

We make no warranties or representations about the accuracy or completeness of the website's content (including card data fetched from TCGDex) and we will assume no liability or responsibility for any errors, mistakes, or inaccuracies of content and materials, or any interruption or cessation of transmission to or from the website.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, in no event will we, our operators, or our suppliers be liable to you for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, punitive, or exemplary damages — including loss of profits, data, goodwill, or other intangible losses — arising out of or relating to your use of the Service, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

Our total aggregate liability to you for all claims arising out of or relating to the Service or these Terms is limited to the greater of (a) the total amount you paid us in the twelve (12) months preceding the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) USD 50.00. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages, so some of the above may not apply to you; in such cases our liability is limited to the maximum extent permitted by law. Nothing in these Terms excludes liability that cannot be excluded by law.

10.Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless us, our operators, and our suppliers from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or in any way connected with: (a) your use of the Service; (b) your User Content; (c) your violation of these Terms; or (d) your violation of any law or the rights of a third party.

11.Governing Law & Dispute Resolution

These Terms and any dispute arising out of or relating to them or the Service are governed by the laws of State of Texas, United States, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules. You agree that the courts located in State of Texas, United States have exclusive jurisdiction, except where prohibited by the mandatory consumer-law protections of your country of residence, which continue to apply to you.

Before filing any claim, you agree to first contact us at [email protected] and attempt to resolve the dispute informally in good faith. To the extent permitted by law, you and we agree that any dispute will be resolved on an individual basis and you waive any right to participate in a class or representative action.

12.Termination & Suspension

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service at any time, with or without notice, if we reasonably believe you have violated these Terms or applicable law, or to protect the Service or other users. You may stop using the Service and delete your account at any time. We may also modify or discontinue the Service, in whole or in part, without liability to you. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (including intellectual property, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnification, and governing law) will survive.

13.Payments, Subscriptions & Refunds

Building and printing are free. Paid products (one-time Print Passes and Collector/Pro subscriptions) remove the watermark from your printed output. Purchases require a signed-in account.

Payments and applicable taxes are processed by Polar, our merchant of record. Your receipt comes from Polar and their buyer terms also apply.
Subscriptions renew automatically until cancelled from your account page; cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period.
Refunds are handled case by case — see our Refund & Billing Policy.

14.Modifications to Terms

We reserve the right to modify these Terms of Use at any time. Material changes will be communicated by updating the date at the top of this page. Where required by law or where changes materially affect your rights, we will notify you by email. Continued use of the service after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the updated terms.

Entire Agreement: These Terms and our Privacy Policy are the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Service and supersede any prior agreements.
