CatchACard
Last updated: July 6, 2026
1. Introduction and Acceptance
Welcome to CatchACard. These Terms of Service ("Terms") constitute a legally binding agreement between you ("User," "you," or "your") and CatchACard ("CatchACard," "we," "us," or "our").
By accessing or using our website, mobile applications, or any related services (collectively, the "Services"), you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, you may not access or use the Services.
We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. Changes will be effective upon posting to our website or app. Your continued use of the Services after any changes constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
2. Description of Services
CatchACard is an online digital Pokémon card pack opening platform where users can:
- Purchase "Diamonds," our in-platform virtual credit, and use them to open virtual packs containing real physical Pokémon cards
- Open packs digitally to reveal the cards inside
- View and manage their digital card collection ("Vault")
- Choose to keep cards in digital storage, sell cards back to the platform for Diamonds, or request physical shipping of cards
- Access information about card values, conditions, and grading
Important Clarifications:
- CatchACard is an entertainment platform for collectors and hobbyists
- All packs contain real, pre-determined physical cards
- The digital pack opening experience reveals cards that already exist in our inventory
- Diamonds are a virtual credit for use within the platform only; they are not money and have no cash value outside the platform (see Section 5)
3. Eligibility
To use the Services, you must:
- Be at least 18 years of age
- Have the legal capacity to enter into a binding agreement
- Not be prohibited from using the Services under applicable laws
- Provide accurate and complete registration information
By using the Services, you represent and warrant that you meet all eligibility requirements. We reserve the right to refuse service, terminate accounts, or cancel orders at our sole discretion if we believe you do not meet these requirements.
4. Account Registration
4.1 Account Creation
To access certain features of the Services, you must create an account. You agree to:
- Provide accurate, current, and complete information during registration
- Maintain and promptly update your account information
- Keep your login credentials secure and confidential
- Notify us immediately of any unauthorised access to your account
4.2 Account Responsibility
You are solely responsible for all activities that occur under your account. We are not liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to protect your account credentials.
4.3 One Account Per User
Each user may maintain only one account. You are strictly prohibited from creating, operating, controlling, or benefitting from multiple accounts, whether directly or indirectly, for the purpose of obtaining, accumulating, redeeming, or exploiting Diamonds, promotions, referral benefits, rewards, or any other perks. We may investigate whether multiple accounts are operated or controlled by the same person or group, and our determination shall be final unless proven otherwise. Creating multiple accounts may result in termination of all associated accounts and forfeiture of associated Diamonds and rewards.
5. Diamonds, Purchases and Payments
5.1 Diamonds (Virtual Currency)
"Diamonds" are a virtual, in-platform credit. To use the Services, you must first purchase Diamonds using an approved payment method. Diamonds are used to purchase packs and other items made available on the platform, and are also credited to you when you sell cards back to us (see Section 8).
5.2 Nature of Diamonds; No Cash Value; No Withdrawals
You acknowledge and agree that:
- Diamonds are not fiat currency, legal tender, electronic money, a deposit, a security, or any other financial or payment instrument.
- CatchACard is not a bank, and your Diamond balance is not a bank account. Diamonds do not earn interest.
- Diamonds have no cash value outside the platform. They are non-withdrawable, non-transferable, and non-exchangeable for cash or fiat currency.
- Diamonds may be used only to purchase packs and other items within the platform.
- Except where required by applicable law, purchases of Diamonds are final and Diamonds are non-refundable.
- Diamonds issued to you at no charge (for example, as promotional, referral, contest, or goodwill credit) may carry additional conditions, including expiry, and may be consumed before purchased Diamonds where both exist.
We may correct any Diamond balance credited in error and may freeze, withhold, or reverse Diamonds arising from fraud, chargeback, or violation of these Terms (see Section 16).
5.3 Pricing
Prices for Diamonds, packs, buyback values, shipping, and other items are displayed on the platform and are subject to change without notice. The price at the time of the transaction will apply.
5.4 Payment Methods
We accept the payment methods displayed at checkout. By providing payment information, you represent that you are authorised to use the payment method and authorise us to charge the applicable amounts.
5.5 Payment Processing
Payments are processed by third-party payment processors. Your use of these payment services is subject to their respective terms and conditions. We are not responsible for errors or issues caused by payment processors. Any bank charges, currency conversion fees, or payment gateway fees are your responsibility.
5.6 No Refunds on Digital Pack Purchases
All purchases of virtual packs are final and non-refundable once the pack has been opened. By purchasing and opening a pack, you acknowledge that you have received the service (the digital reveal experience) and the cards contained within. Refunds for unopened packs may be considered on a case-by-case basis at our sole discretion.
5.7 Taxes
You are responsible for any applicable taxes, duties, or fees associated with your purchases, unless otherwise stated.
6. Digital Pack Opening
6.1 How It Works
When you purchase a virtual pack using Diamonds:
- You are purchasing the right to digitally reveal cards from our physical inventory
- The cards in each pack are real, physical cards that exist in our warehouse
- Upon opening, the revealed cards are added to your digital Vault
- You may then choose what to do with each card (keep, sell back, or ship)
6.2 Card Authenticity
All cards available through our Services are authentic Pokémon cards. We source cards from legitimate distributors and verified sellers. Cards may be raw (ungraded) or professionally graded by recognised grading services.
6.3 Card Condition
Card conditions are described to the best of our ability. For raw cards, conditions may vary. Graded cards will reflect the grade assigned by the grading company. Minor variations in condition descriptions do not constitute grounds for refunds.
6.4 Pack Contents
Pack contents are determined by our inventory allocation system. We do not guarantee specific cards, rarities, or values in any pack. The excitement of pack opening lies in the surprise of what you may receive.
6.5 Pack Mechanics and Predetermined Inventory
Each virtual pack corresponds to specific physical cards already allocated from our inventory at the time the pack is generated. When you purchase and open a pack, you are paying for the right to receive those pre-allocated cards together with the digital reveal experience; the digital reveal is a presentation of an outcome that already exists in our inventory.
This predetermined-inventory model is a defining feature of our platform. The Services are not a lottery, casino, sports-betting product, or other game of chance. The probability information shown in-app describes the rate at which cards of each tier are made available across our inventory; it is not a wager and you are not betting against the platform.
You acknowledge that pack openings present cards using animated reveal effects whose intensity may correlate with the tier of the revealed card, that these effects are presentational only, and that the underlying card allocation is not influenced by the reveal animation.
7. Digital Vault
7.1 Card Storage
Cards you choose to keep are stored in your digital Vault. While in the Vault:
- Your physical cards are securely stored in our facility
- You retain ownership of the cards
- You can view your collection at any time
- You can request shipping or sell back at any time (subject to availability)
7.2 Storage Duration
We will store your cards for as long as your account remains active and in good standing. We reserve the right to impose storage fees or time limits in the future, with reasonable notice provided to users.
7.3 Risk of Loss
While we take reasonable precautions to protect stored cards, we are not insurers. Our liability for loss or damage to stored cards is limited as set forth in Section 14.
8. Selling Cards Back (Buyback)
8.1 Buyback Option, Rate and Fee
You may choose to sell eligible cards back to CatchACard for Diamonds at the buyback value displayed at the time of the transaction.
When you sell a card back, you receive Diamonds equal to 100% of the card's market value, less a platform service fee of 6%. The Market Value is determined by CatchACard based on our internal pricing methodology and is the value displayed alongside the card at the time of the offer.
For example, a card with a Market Value of 100 Diamonds yields a buyback credit of 100 − 6% = 94 Diamonds.
The final Diamond amount you will receive (already net of the service fee) is shown to you before you confirm any buyback. The market value, service fee, and methodology may be revised; any change applies prospectively to buybacks initiated after the change takes effect. Diamonds received from a buyback are subject to Section 5 and are not withdrawable or exchangeable for cash.
8.2 Buyback Process
When you sell a card back:
- You transfer ownership of the card to CatchACard
- The card is removed from your Vault
- You receive the stated buyback value in Diamonds
8.3 Buyback Finality
All buyback transactions are final. Once you confirm a buyback, you cannot reverse the transaction.
9. Physical Shipping
9.1 Shipping Requests
You may request physical delivery of cards in your Vault. Shipping fees and options will be displayed at the time of request.
9.2 Shipping Address
You are responsible for providing accurate shipping information. We are not liable for delays, loss, or damage caused by incorrect addresses.
9.3 Shipping Times
We aim to dispatch and deliver shipping requests within 7 to 14 working days from the date the request is confirmed. These timelines are estimates and are not guaranteed. Actual delivery times may vary based on order volume, location, customs processing, and carrier performance, and international destinations or remote areas may take longer.
9.4 Risk of Loss in Transit
Risk of loss passes to you upon delivery to the shipping carrier. We recommend purchasing shipping insurance for valuable items where available.
9.5 Customs and Import Duties
International shipments may be subject to customs duties, taxes, or fees imposed by the destination country. You are solely responsible for these charges.
9.6 Shipping Restrictions
Certain items may not be shippable to all locations due to legal or logistical restrictions. We reserve the right to refuse shipping requests that we cannot fulfil.
9.7 Insurance
At checkout you may purchase optional shipping insurance at the rate displayed at the time of the request (currently 2.5% of the declared value of the shipment). The declared value is the aggregate market value of the insured cards as shown in your Vault.
Coverage: If purchased, eligible loss of or damage to the insured items occurring after dispatch from our facility and before delivery confirmation will be reimbursed up to the declared value of the insured items.
Claims process: Claims must be submitted to [email protected] within fourteen (14) days of the expected delivery date, together with reasonable supporting evidence (carrier tracking, photos of damaged packaging where applicable, and any carrier exception records). Reimbursement is paid in Diamonds to your in-app wallet.
Exclusions: Insurance does not cover losses arising from inaccurate shipping information you provided, customs seizure due to documentation you provided, refusal of delivery, theft after successful delivery confirmation, or claims submitted outside the 14-day window. Without insurance, our liability for loss in transit is limited as stated in Sections 9.4 and 14.

You agree not to initiate chargebacks, payment disputes, or reversals in circumstances where a transaction has been properly fulfilled, including on grounds of dissatisfaction with a randomised pack outcome, buyer's remorse, or failure to read product descriptions. Improper chargebacks may result in suspension or termination of your account, forfeiture of Diamonds and cards, refusal of future transactions, and referral to payment processors or relevant authorities.
