Terms and Conditions
Please read these terms and conditions carefully before using our platform or purchasing any of our TCG products.
Scope of Services: These General Terms of Service govern your use of the Glitch Guild Ltd website and the purchase of retail products from our store. If you are submitting trading cards to sell to us via our buy-list, that specific transaction is strictly governed by our separate Buylist Terms and Conditions.
Terms of Service
Our user agreement defines terms for account management, product pricing errors, and limitations of liability.
Acceptance of Terms
By accessing and using the Glitch Guild website, you accept and agree to be bound by the terms and provisions of this agreement. If you do not agree to abide by these terms, you must not use our service.
User Accounts
To access certain features of the platform, you may be required to register an account. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials. Glitch Guild reserves the right to terminate accounts, remove or edit content, or cancel orders at our sole discretion, particularly in cases of suspected fraud, abuse, or violation of these terms.
Pricing, Availability & Contract Formation
All products are subject to availability. We reserve the right to modify prices without prior notice.
- Order Acknowledgement vs. Acceptance: When you place an order on our platform, you will receive an automated email acknowledging your request. This email does not constitute legal acceptance of your order.
- Contract Formation: A binding contract of sale is only formed between you and Glitch Guild Ltd at the exact moment we send you a confirmation email stating that your order has been dispatched.
- Right of Refusal: Up until the point of dispatch, we reserve the right to decline or cancel any order for any reason, including but not limited to inventory discrepancies, suspected fraud, or typographical pricing errors. If an order is cancelled, a full refund will be issued immediately.
Anti-Pre-Order Policy
On-Hand Inventory Only (No Pre-Orders): To ensure fair access and eliminate the risks associated with manufacturer allocations, Glitch Guild Ltd operates a strict no pre-order policy. We only list inventory that is physically on-hand in our facility and ready for immediate dispatch.
Statutory Rights & Returns
- 14-Day Right to Cancel: Under UK law, you have the right to cancel your retail purchase within 14 days of receiving your goods, without needing to provide a reason.
- Return Conditions: To be eligible for a return, the items must be returned in their original, untampered condition. For sealed products, the factory shrink-wrap and seals must remain completely intact. Single cards must be returned in the exact condition they were dispatched.
- Return Postage: Unless the item received is faulty or not as described, the customer is fully responsible for covering the cost of return postage. We advise using a tracked service.
- Refund Processing: Refunds will be processed to the original payment method within 14 days of Glitch Guild Ltd receiving and inspecting the returned goods.
Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by UK law, Glitch Guild shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages resulting from the use or inability to use our services, products, or website. This includes, but is not limited to, damages for loss of profits, data, or other intangible losses.
Community Tournaments & Events
- Right to Disqualify: Glitch Guild reserves the absolute right to disqualify any participant at our sole discretion. This includes suspected cheating, collusion, multi-accounting (smurfing), or violating the one-entry-per-household rule. All admin rulings are final, binding, and not subject to appeal.
- Event Modification: We reserve the right to delay, postpone, modify, or cancel any tournament at any time due to technical failures, insufficient players, or unforeseen circumstances, without liability.
- Prize Fulfilment: Physical prizes are subject to inventory availability. Glitch Guild reserves the right to substitute any physical prize with an item of equal or greater value, or equivalent Store Credit/REP.
- Prize Shipping Liability: Prizes are dispatched to the UK address registered on the user's account. Glitch Guild accepts no liability for prizes that are lost, stolen, damaged, or undeliverable due to an incorrect address.
Reputation (REP) Rewards Programme
Our platform features a proprietary loyalty economy that allows registered users to earn REP through purchases, referrals, and tournament participation. REP can be redeemed for store credit discounts and unlocks VIP access tiers.
Because this programme involves virtual balances, referral bonuses, and tier maintenance, it operates under its own strict regulatory framework. By participating in the programme, you agree to the complete rules, anti-fraud measures, and forfeiture conditions detailed in our dedicated Reputation Programme Policy.
Mystery Products & Randomised Goods
Our mystery packs and algorithmic bundles operate under a proprietary, dynamically generated fulfilment system featuring provable cryptographic auditing. Due to the randomised nature of these goods and our strict anti-tampering protocols, they are subject to specific probabilistic rules and exemptions regarding statutory return rights.
By purchasing these items, you agree to the complete operational framework detailed in our dedicated Mystery Product Policy.
Data Protection and Privacy
Information regarding how we collect, process, and protect your personal data, including our use of essential system cookies for security and payment processing, is detailed in our Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy.
Discord Integration & Community Rules
- Account Linking: By choosing to link your Discord account with Glitch Guild, you grant us permission to automatically add you to our official Discord server and assign you the appropriate community roles.
- Conduct: Your behaviour within our Discord server must adhere to our community guidelines. We reserve the right to revoke Discord roles, remove you from the server, or terminate your Glitch Guild account for abusive behaviour or violation of these rules.
- Third-Party Terms: Your use of Discord is also governed by Discord's own Terms of Service. We are not responsible for Discord's platform availability or data practices.
