Effective Date: July 26, 2026. Version 2026-07-26.
These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of Kardcore, including the website at kardcore.app, our software, and related services (collectively, the "Service") provided by Code Blanket LLC, a Michigan limited liability company, doing business as Kardcore ("Kardcore", "we", "us", or "our").
By creating an account, accessing, or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms, our Privacy Policy, our Acceptable Use Policy, and our Community Guidelines, each of which is incorporated into these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.
Kardcore is an independent, fan-made collection, deck-building, and trading tool. Kardcore is not produced by, endorsed by, or affiliated with Wizards of the Coast LLC, Hasbro, Inc., The Pokemon Company International, Nintendo, Creatures Inc., GAME FREAK inc., or Konami Digital Entertainment.
Card data is sourced from third-party services including Scryfall, TCGdex, and YGOPRODeck. All card names, artwork, and related data remain the property of their respective owners. Nothing in the Service grants you any rights in those materials.
You must be at least 13 years old to use the Service. If you are between 13 and the age of majority in your jurisdiction, you may only use the Service with the consent of a parent or legal guardian who agrees to these Terms on your behalf.
You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information when creating an Account and to keep it up to date. When you accept these Terms, we record the version accepted and the time of acceptance. If we make material changes, you may be asked to accept the updated Terms before continuing to use the Service.
You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your credentials, for all activity under your Account, and for notifying us immediately of any unauthorized access. We are not liable for loss arising from your failure to safeguard your credentials.
You may not maintain multiple accounts to circumvent tier limits, trade offer caps, restrictions, suspensions, or terminations. We may consolidate or suspend duplicate accounts at our discretion.
Subject to your compliance with these Terms, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access and use the Service for your personal, non-commercial purposes.
The Service is offered as a Guest experience, a Free tier, and a paid Supporter subscription. Current features, limits, and pricing for each tier are described in the Service and may change with notice. Tier limits (such as the number of collections, decks, or cards) are part of the Service design and may be adjusted prospectively.
We continuously improve the Service and may add, modify, or remove features at any time. We will use reasonable efforts to notify you of material changes that adversely affect your use, but we are not required to do so.
Experimental or beta features are provided as-is, without warranty, and may be changed or discontinued at any time.
Supporter subscriptions are billed in advance on a monthly or annual basis, as selected at checkout. Fees are stated in U.S. dollars and are exclusive of applicable taxes, which are your responsibility. Payments are processed by Stripe; by providing payment information you authorize us and Stripe to charge the applicable fees. We never store your full card details.
Subscriptions automatically renew at the end of each billing period at the then-current rate unless canceled before the renewal date. You may cancel at any time through your Account settings (managed through the Stripe billing portal). Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period; you retain Supporter access until that date.
We may change pricing at any time. For active subscriptions, changes take effect at the start of the next renewal period, with reasonable advance notice (typically at least 30 days).
All fees are non-refundable except where required by law. We do not provide refunds or credits for partial periods, unused features, downgrades, or mid-cycle cancellations. If you are a consumer in a jurisdiction that grants a mandatory withdrawal or cooling-off right (for example, the European Union or United Kingdom), you consent to immediate provision of the digital service and acknowledge that this may affect that right to the extent permitted by law; any mandatory rights that cannot be waived remain unaffected.
If a payment fails, we may downgrade your Account to the Free tier until the balance is resolved. Content exceeding Free tier limits is retained but may become read-only or inaccessible until you resubscribe or reduce usage.
You retain ownership of the collections, decks, wishlists, posts, comments, images, and other material you create or upload ("Content"). We claim no ownership of your Content.
You grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, store, copy, transmit, display, and process your Content solely to provide, maintain, and improve the Service — including displaying it to other users where you choose to share it (for example, posts on the social feed, trade binders visible to friends, or trade offers). This license ends when you delete the Content or your Account, except as needed for backups or legal compliance.
You are solely responsible for your Content, including its legality and your right to upload it. Content you share socially must comply with our Acceptable Use Policy and Community Guidelines.
You are responsible for maintaining your own backups. We perform routine operational backups, but they are not a substitute for your own exports. We are not liable for loss, corruption, or unavailability of your Content, and we do not guarantee recovery of deleted or lost data.
You may delete individual Content at any time in the Service, and you may permanently delete your entire Account and all associated data through your Account settings, as described in our Privacy Policy. Deleted data may persist in backups for a limited period before being purged in normal rotation.
If you send us suggestions or feedback, you grant us a perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free license to use it without obligation to you.
Kardcore's trading features (wishlists, trade binders, matches, alerts, and trade offers) are an organizational and communication tool only. You acknowledge and agree that:
Card prices, valuations, price histories, budget suggestions, and card comparisons shown in the Service are aggregated from third-party sources and are provided for general informational purposes only. They may be inaccurate, incomplete, or out of date. They are not an appraisal, a guarantee of market value, or financial, investment, or purchasing advice. You are solely responsible for any decision you make in reliance on pricing or card data, including trades and purchases.
The Service includes social features such as friends, posts, comments, likes, match tracking, and community feeds. Content in community tabs (such as events and news) may be aggregated from third-party sources we do not control. We may, but are not obligated to, monitor or moderate user content, and we may remove content or restrict features at our discretion. Your use of social features is subject to our Acceptable Use Policy and Community Guidelines.
Your use of the Service is governed by our Acceptable Use Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms. Violations may result in content removal, feature restrictions, suspension, or termination of your Account, with or without notice.
The Service — including its software, design, interface, name, logos, and content other than your Content and third-party card materials — is owned by us or our licensors and protected by intellectual property laws.
You agree not to copy, modify, distribute, sell, or lease any part of the Service; reverse engineer or attempt to extract source code except where the law prohibits this restriction; scrape, harvest, or systematically extract data from the Service except your own Content via the export tools we provide; use the Service to build a competing product; or frame, mirror, or resell the Service without our written permission.
We respond to notices of alleged copyright infringement that comply with applicable law, including the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. Send notices or counter-notices to support@kardcore.com with the subject line "Copyright Notice". Accounts of repeat infringers may be terminated.
We aim to provide reliable access to the Service but do not guarantee uninterrupted, error-free, or secure operation, and we make no uptime commitment. The Service may be unavailable due to maintenance, updates, infrastructure issues, third-party outages, or events beyond our control. Support is provided on a reasonable-effort basis by email at support@kardcore.com, with no guaranteed response or resolution times. We are not liable for loss or damage resulting from unavailability, delays, or interruptions.
You may stop using the Service and delete your Account at any time through your Account settings. Deleting your Account does not entitle you to a refund of fees already paid.
We may suspend or terminate your Account at any time, with or without notice, if you violate these Terms or the Acceptable Use Policy, if required by law, if your Account presents a security or fraud risk, if payment is overdue, or if we discontinue the Service. Free tier accounts inactive for 18 consecutive months may be flagged for deletion; we will provide email notice at least 30 days before deletion so you can sign in or export your data.
On termination, your right to use the Service ends immediately. Except where we are required to delete data sooner, we may delete your Content after a reasonable grace period (typically 30 days) during which you may request an export. Sections that by their nature should survive (including licenses, IP, disclaimers, limitations of liability, indemnification, and dispute resolution) survive termination.
THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE", WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. To the maximum extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, accuracy of card and pricing data, and that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or secure. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties, so some of the above may not apply to you.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW: we will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, including loss of profits, data, goodwill, or the value of any card or trade, even if advised of the possibility. Our total cumulative liability arising out of or related to these Terms or the Service will not exceed the greater of (a) the amount you paid us in the 12 months preceding the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) one hundred U.S. dollars (USD 100). For users who have paid us nothing, our total cumulative liability will not exceed one hundred U.S. dollars (USD 100). These limitations apply regardless of legal theory. Some jurisdictions do not allow limitations on certain damages, so some of the above may not apply to you; in those jurisdictions our liability is limited to the smallest amount permitted by law. Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law, including for fraud or for death or personal injury caused by negligence where such limitation is prohibited.
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Code Blanket LLC and its officers, members, employees, and agents from claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or related to your use or misuse of the Service, your Content, your trades or interactions with other users, your violation of these Terms or any law, or your infringement of any third-party right.
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Michigan, United States, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles. If you are a consumer habitually resident in the European Union, United Kingdom, or another jurisdiction whose law grants you non-waivable consumer protections or the right to bring claims in your local courts, those protections and rights are unaffected by this section.
Before filing any formal claim, you agree to first contact us at support@kardcore.com and attempt to resolve the dispute informally for 60 days.
If informal resolution fails, any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service will be resolved by binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, taking place in Cass County, Michigan, or remotely if both parties agree. You and we agree to bring claims only on an individual basis and not as a plaintiff or class member in any class, collective, or representative action. Either party may instead bring an individual action in small-claims court, or seek injunctive relief for intellectual property infringement in a court of competent jurisdiction. You may opt out of arbitration by emailing support@kardcore.com within 30 days of first accepting these Terms. This section does not apply where prohibited by the law of your place of residence.
The Service is operated from the United States. If you access it from elsewhere, you are responsible for compliance with local laws. You agree not to use the Service in violation of U.S. export control or sanctions laws or from any country subject to U.S. embargo.
We may update these Terms. For material changes we will notify you by email or in the Service at least 14 days before they take effect (or longer where required by law), and you may be required to accept the updated Terms to continue using the Service. Continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance. If you do not agree, stop using the Service and delete your Account.
These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, Acceptable Use Policy, and Community Guidelines, are the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Service. If any provision is found unenforceable, the rest remains in effect. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. You may not assign these Terms without our written consent; we may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of assets. We are not liable for failures caused by circumstances beyond our reasonable control. Notices to us go to support@kardcore.com; notices to you may be sent to your Account email or posted in the Service.
