Terms of service

Terms of Service

These Terms of Service apply to purchases made through the TCG Planet website and your use of our online store.

By accessing our website or placing an order with TCG Planet, you agree to these Terms of Service.

1. About TCG Planet

TCG Planet is an Australian online retailer specialising in trading card game products, including Japanese and Simplified Chinese Pokémon TCG products.

Throughout these Terms, “we”, “us” and “our” refer to TCG Planet.

2. Products

We make reasonable efforts to ensure product descriptions, images, pricing and other information displayed on our website are accurate.

Colours, packaging and minor product details may vary from images shown due to manufacturing changes, screen settings or regional packaging differences.

Unless otherwise stated, products described as sealed are supplied as sealed retail products.

3. Trading Card Products

Trading card products may contain randomly assorted cards.

TCG Planet does not guarantee:

  • Specific cards or characters inside sealed products
  • Particular card rarities
  • Pull rates
  • Investment or resale value
  • Future market value
  • Factory print quality of individual cards

Purchasing a sealed trading card product does not guarantee that any particular card will be obtained.

4. Pricing

All prices displayed on our website are in Australian dollars unless otherwise stated.

Prices may change without notice.

Trading card products can experience significant changes in market price and availability. A later increase or decrease in market value does not entitle a customer to a price adjustment after an order has been completed.

If an obvious pricing or listing error occurs, we may contact you before fulfilling the order to resolve the issue.

Nothing in this section limits any rights available under Australian Consumer Law.

5. Orders

Submitting an order does not necessarily mean that we have accepted it.

We may decline or cancel an order where reasonably necessary, including where:

  • A product is unavailable
  • Inventory information was incorrect
  • Payment cannot be processed
  • There is an obvious pricing or listing error
  • We reasonably suspect fraudulent activity

If we cancel an order after payment has been taken, the applicable payment will be refunded.

6. Payment

Payment must be completed using one of the payment methods available at checkout.

Orders may not be dispatched until payment has been successfully processed.

TCG Planet does not directly store complete credit or debit card information entered through third-party payment providers.

7. Shipping

Orders are shipped according to the shipping methods and rates displayed at checkout.

Estimated delivery timeframes are estimates only and may be affected by carriers, public holidays, severe weather, peak periods and other circumstances outside our reasonable control.

Customers are responsible for providing an accurate and complete delivery address when placing an order.

Please refer to our Shipping Policy for further information.

8. Returns, Refunds and Cancellations

Returns, refunds and cancellations are handled in accordance with our Return & Refund Policy and Australian Consumer Law.

Due to the collectible nature of trading cards and fluctuations in market value, we do not generally accept returns simply because a customer changes their mind.

This does not affect any rights or remedies available under Australian Consumer Law.

9. Product Availability

Product availability may change quickly, particularly for limited-release and collectible trading card products.

Adding a product to your cart does not reserve that product until checkout has been successfully completed.

10. Intellectual Property

Unless otherwise stated, the content created for the TCG Planet website, including website design, original text, graphics and TCG Planet branding, belongs to TCG Planet or is used with permission.

You must not reproduce, distribute or commercially use our original website content without permission.

Pokémon and other third-party names, trademarks, characters and product artwork remain the property of their respective owners.

TCG Planet is an independent retailer and is not affiliated with or endorsed by The Pokémon Company unless expressly stated otherwise.

11. Acceptable Use

You must not use our website:

  • For unlawful purposes
  • To attempt to gain unauthorised access to the website or related systems
  • To introduce malicious software or code
  • To interfere with the operation or security of the website
  • To conduct fraudulent transactions

12. Third-Party Services

Our website may use or link to third-party services, including payment providers, shipping carriers and other Shopify services or applications.

Those third-party services may operate under their own terms and privacy policies.

13. Privacy

Personal information is handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy and applicable Australian privacy requirements.

Please review our Privacy Policy for further information about how personal information is collected, used and protected.

14. Australian Consumer Law

Our goods come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law.

Nothing in these Terms of Service excludes, restricts or modifies any consumer guarantee, right or remedy that cannot lawfully be excluded, restricted or modified.

Where these Terms conflict with a mandatory right under Australian Consumer Law, the applicable law will prevail.

15. Limitation of Liability

To the extent permitted by law, TCG Planet is not responsible for losses caused solely by circumstances outside our reasonable control.

Nothing in these Terms limits liability or consumer rights where doing so would be unlawful, including rights available under Australian Consumer Law.

16. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms of Service from time to time to reflect changes to our store, services or legal obligations.

The version displayed on our website at the time of your purchase will apply to that transaction, subject to applicable law.

17. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws applicable in Australia and the relevant Australian state or territory.

Nothing in this section limits any rights a consumer may have under applicable consumer protection legislation.
