Terms of Service

1. Agreement to these Terms

By creating an account — including by ticking the acceptance box or by continuing with Google — or by using the site, you agree to these Terms and acknowledge the Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use Cardexa.

You must be at least 14 years old to create an account or use the service. If you are under the age of majority where you live, you may use Cardexa only with the consent of a parent or guardian.

2. Your account

Provide accurate registration information and keep it up to date. You are responsible for keeping your password confidential and for all activity under your account — tell us right away at cardexatcg@gmail.com if you suspect unauthorized access.

Usernames are first come, first served. We may reclaim or rename a username that impersonates a person or brand, infringes someone’s rights, or is used to mislead.

3. The service

Cardexa is a collection-management and reference platform for the Pokémon Trading Card Game. The service is currently free, and we may add, change, or remove features as it evolves. If we ever introduce optional paid features, we will clearly present the price and terms before you are asked to pay anything.

4. Your content

You keep ownership of the content you put into Cardexa — your collection and wishlist entries, notes, display name, and avatar. You grant us a limited, non-exclusive licence to host, store, back up, and display that content solely to operate and improve the service. The licence ends when the content or your account is deleted, subject to the deletion timeline described in the Privacy Policy.

Do not submit content that is unlawful, infringing, hateful, harassing, or sexually explicit, or that impersonates someone. This applies to avatars, display names, usernames, and notes. Note that avatar images are retrievable by anyone with their URL. We may remove content that breaks these rules.

5. Acceptable use

When using Cardexa, you agree not to:

• scrape, harvest, or bulk-download site content or data, or access the service with bots or other automated means, without our prior written permission;
• create accounts by automated means or misrepresent who you are;
• probe, disable, overload, or bypass security features, including the sign-in bot check;
• interfere with other people’s use of the service;
• resell the service or its data;
• use the service to break the law or to infringe anyone’s rights.

6. Cardexa’s intellectual property

The Cardexa name, site design, interface, and software are owned by the operator of Cardexa. Except for the limited right to use the service normally, these Terms do not grant you any rights in them.

7. Pokémon intellectual property — unofficial site

Cardexa is an independent collection-management platform and is not affiliated with, endorsed, sponsored, or approved by Nintendo, The Pokémon Company, Creatures Inc., or GAME FREAK inc. Pokémon character names, card names, card artwork, logos, and related marks are trademarks or copyrighted works of their respective owners. Cardexa displays card names, numbers, and images for identification and reference purposes only, so collectors can catalogue what they own. If you are a rights holder with a concern about content shown on Cardexa, contact us at cardexatcg@gmail.com and we will respond promptly.

8. Suspension and termination

You can delete your account at any time in Settings → Danger Zone; deletion has a 30-day recovery window, after which it is permanent. We may suspend or terminate an account that violates these Terms, creates risk for other users or the service, or where the law requires it — where reasonable, we will notify you and give you a chance to fix the problem first. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (including sections 6, 7, 9, 10, and 11) survive.

9. Disclaimers

Cardexa is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind to the extent permitted by law. We do not guarantee that the service will be uninterrupted or error-free. Card data, imagery, and set information come from third-party sources and may be incomplete or out of date. Sign in with Google is provided by Google under Google’s own terms, and card artwork is served by third-party image hosts; we are not responsible for third-party services or their availability.

10. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the operator of Cardexa will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, data, or goodwill, arising from your use of the service. Our total liability for all claims relating to the service is limited to the greater of (a) the amount you paid us for the service in the 12 months before the claim (currently $0 — Cardexa is free) and (b) CAD $50.

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations. Nothing in these Terms limits or excludes liability that cannot be limited under applicable law, including any non-waivable rights you have under consumer-protection legislation.

11. Indemnification

If your violation of these Terms or of the law causes a third-party claim against us, you agree to reimburse us for the reasonable losses and costs arising from that claim, to the extent permitted by applicable law.

12. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms; the version is identified by the “Last updated” date above. For material changes we will give reasonable advance notice — for example, a notice on the site or an email — before the new Terms take effect. Continuing to use Cardexa after that date means you accept the updated Terms; if you do not, stop using the service and delete your account.

13. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable there. If you have a problem, please contact us first — most concerns can be resolved informally. Any dispute that cannot be resolved informally will be brought in the courts of Ontario, and each of us submits to their jurisdiction — except that either of us may use small-claims court where eligible, and nothing in this section overrides mandatory consumer-protection rights in your place of residence.
