6.1Our intellectual property

The Service, including all original content, features, functionality, and design, is owned by CardGames Social and protected by international copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws.

We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access and use the Service for personal, non-commercial purposes, subject to these terms.

6.2Third-party content

We may display content from third-party platforms (logos, thumbnails, video clips, statistics). This content remains the property of its respective owners and is subject to their terms of service.

Magic: The Gathering card data, card images, mana symbols, and related marks remain the property of Wizards of the Coast and/or other applicable rights holders. Our Licenses & Third-Party Notices page records the notices for visible third-party assets and data sources used by the Service.

We're not responsible for third-party content, websites, or services. Your use of those platforms is governed by their own terms and policies.

6.3Content you submit

If you submit, upload, or share content through our Service (comments, deck lists, tournament results, etc.), you grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use, host, store, reproduce, modify, and display that content as needed to operate and improve the Service.

You represent that you have all necessary rights to grant us this license.

7Rankings & analytics

Our rankings, scores, and analytics are informational only and may include automated assessments or editorial opinions. They are not endorsements, professional advice, or guarantees of accuracy.

Data may be delayed, incomplete, or change without notice. Always verify important information through official sources.

8Beta features

We love experimenting with new features! Beta or experimental features may be unstable, incomplete, or discontinued at any time without notice. Use them at your own discretion.

9Payments & subscriptions

Currently, CardGames Social is free to use. If we introduce paid plans or features in the future, we'll clearly disclose pricing and terms before you purchase.

Unless required by law, all fees are non-refundable once paid.

10Third-party data

When using data from third-party platforms displayed on our Service:

  • Follow platform rules: Don't use our Service to circumvent the terms of service of YouTube, Twitch, TikTok, or other platforms we aggregate data from.
  • Data may change: Third-party data is subject to change or removal. Don't rely on our Service as the sole authoritative source.
  • No implied endorsement: Don't claim that creators or platforms endorse you based on data shown on our Service.

12Disclaimers

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Service is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including but not limited to warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement.

We don't guarantee that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, or always available.

13Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, CardGames Social and its team will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits, revenue, data, or goodwill.

Our total liability for all claims will not exceed the greater of €100 or the amount you paid us (if any) in the 3 months before the claim arose.

Some jurisdictions don't allow these limitations, so they may not apply to you.

  • Your use or misuse of the Service
  • Your violation of these Terms

  • Content you submit to the Service

15Account termination

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your access to the Service at any time, with or without notice, for violations of these Terms or to protect our Service and community.

Upon termination, your right to use the Service immediately ends. Provisions that by their nature should survive (disclaimers, liability limitations, indemnification) will remain in effect.

16Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of Portugal, without regard to conflict of law principles. The courts of Lisbon, Portugal have exclusive jurisdiction over disputes, subject to mandatory consumer protection laws in your jurisdiction.

17EU/EEA consumer rights

If you're a consumer in the European Union or European Economic Area, you have certain statutory rights that cannot be waived by these Terms.

If we introduce paid digital services in the future, you may lose your right of withdrawal once we begin delivering the service with your express consent.

The European Commission provides an Online Dispute Resolution (ODR) platform for consumers at ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr. You may use this platform to resolve disputes related to online transactions.

18Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time to reflect changes in our Service, legal requirements, or business practices. When we make material changes, we'll update the "Last updated" date and may notify you via email or through the Service.

Your continued use of the Service after changes take effect means you accept the updated Terms. If you don't agree, please stop using the Service.
