Hosting: Hetzner Online GmbH, Industriestr. 25, 91710 Gunzenhausen, Germany (European Union).

2. Acceptance of Terms

Use of the Platform implies full acceptance of these Terms of Service (CGU). During account registration, the user must check the box "I accept the Terms of Service and the Privacy Policy" to complete their registration.

The Editor reserves the right to modify these CGU at any time. Users will be notified of any changes by email and/or in-app notification. Continued use of the Platform after notification constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.

If you do not agree with the updated terms, you may delete your account at any time from your profile settings.

3. Types of Users and Registration

3.1 Player

Any individual who creates an account using an email address and password, or via OAuth authentication (Google, Discord, Apple). Players can:

Register for tournaments.
Submit match results and decklists.
View public standings and pairings.
Drop from tournaments.

3.2 Organizer

A user who creates an Organization on the Platform. Organizations are approved automatically upon creation; moderation is carried out afterwards, and the Editor may suspend or hide an Organization that breaches these CGU. Collecting payments online additionally requires the Organization to complete Stripe Connect identity verification. Organizers have access to a dashboard for:

Creating and managing tournaments.
Viewing player data (display names, emails).
Managing refunds and staff members.

3.3 Judge / Staff

Users invited by an Organizer to fulfill a staff role within a tournament or organization. Judges and staff can:

Enter and modify match results.
Manage penalties.
View player decklists.

3.4 Spectator

Any person may view published standings and pairings without creating an account. Publicly visible data is limited to display names and scores.

3.5 Age Requirements

Users aged 16 and over may create an account freely.
Users aged 13 to 15 may create an account with verifiable parental consent.
Users under the age of 13 are not permitted to use the Platform.

4. Publicly Displayed Data

Each user chooses a display name in their profile settings (username or real name), which can be changed at any time.

Tournament standings and pairings display the chosen display name, scores, and match results. This information is accessible to everyone, including non-registered visitors.

By participating in a tournament, the player accepts the public display of their display name, scores, and results.

For completed tournaments, the public standings and pairings additionally display the deck archetype of each player and a link to their published decklist (see Section 5).

5. Decklists

Decklists can be set as public or private by the user:

Public decklists: Accessible to anyone via a shareable URL.
Private decklists: Visible only to the owner and to tournament staff when submitted to a tournament.

When a decklist is submitted to a tournament, tournament staff may view it regardless of its privacy setting, for verification purposes.

Publication of tournament decklists: independently of the public or private setting above (which governs your personal deck page), any decklist you submit to a tournament is published publicly once that tournament is completed. This published copy is a frozen snapshot of the exact list you committed, and it includes the full card content of the list, the deck archetype, and your display name (username or real name). It is shown on the tournament standings, pairings, and a dedicated shareable list page, accessible to anyone including visitors without an account. Publishing the decklists of completed competitive events is standard practice in the trading card game community. By submitting a decklist to a tournament, you accept this publication. An Organizer may disable it for a specific event.

Decklists are the creative content of the player. The Editor claims no intellectual property rights over user-created decklists.

6. Payments

6.1 Payment Methods

The Platform processes online payments exclusively via Stripe. No credit card data is stored by the Editor. Stripe is PCI DSS Level 1 certified. Organizers may also collect entry fees outside the Platform (for example via HelloAsso, cash or bank transfer); such payments are not processed by the Platform.

Payments made online by a player are collected directly on the Organizer's own Stripe account. The Organizer is the seller of the registration or ticket and is solely responsible for the service sold, for its refunds and for any chargeback; Stripe processing fees on that revenue are borne by the Organizer. The Editor is not a party to that transaction and merely provides the technical means to carry it out.

6.2 Platform Fees

A platform fee of 0.50 EUR per player applies for tournaments exceeding 128 participants. The fee is calculated based on the number of players paired in round 2 (excluding no-shows). Platform fees are invoiced to the Organizer after the tournament ends via Stripe Invoice.

6.3 Cancellation Protection

When paying by card, the buyer may add an optional Cancellation Protection worth 7% of the amount charged. It is offered on tournament registrations and on side-event tickets, it is always opt-in, and it is never added automatically.

The protection lets the buyer cancel by themselves and be refunded according to the schedule published in our Refund Policy. The protection fee itself is not refundable, including when the underlying purchase is refunded in full.

This protection is what makes self-service cancellation possible for a purchase paid by card: without it, or once it no longer covers the date, the registration or ticket cannot be cancelled online, because the cancellation would give nothing back. Only the Organizer can then cancel or refund it. A free registration, or one paid in TIX, remains cancellable at any time under the conditions set out in our Refund Policy.

7. Refunds

The full refund policy is available at our Refund Policy page.

The tournament Organizer is the first point of contact for any refund request. In case of tournament cancellation, Stripe registrations are automatically refunded. Payments collected outside the Platform must be refunded directly by the Organizer.

Stripe processing fees are not refunded by Stripe and remain at the charge of the Organizer.

8. Subscriptions

The Platform offers two Organizer plans: a Free plan and a paid Plus plan (EUR 7.90 per month or EUR 79 per year, VAT included where applicable). The plan applicable to an Organization is that of its owner.

Subscriptions are managed via Stripe and renew automatically. Users may cancel at any time from the billing portal; cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period, and no pro-rata refund is issued for the period already started.

The Editor may change the plans, their prices and their limits. Any price change applies from the following billing period, and subscribers are notified beforehand by email.

8.1 Circuits

A circuit lets one Organization (the hub) group, under one badge and one shared metagame, tournaments run by itself and by the Organizations it adds as members. When the owner of the hub holds a Plus plan, the tournaments attached to the circuit are freed from the Free-plan limits (player cap, monthly cap, paid entries) — those tournaments only. A member Organization keeps full control of its tournaments, collects its own player payments and remains liable for its own platform fees.

A circuit may only be used for tournaments that are genuinely part of it: a season, a championship and its qualifiers, a league. Attaching unrelated tournaments to a circuit, or using a circuit to circumvent the limits of a plan or the subscription — including by creating several accounts or Organizations — constitutes a misuse.

Under the launch offer, each organizer account may run one circuit, across all the Organizations it owns. Additional circuits may be granted on written request to [email protected] describing the circuit, at the discretion of the Editor. This limit exists to prevent abuse.

In case of misuse, the Editor may, without prior notice and at its sole discretion, restrict the Organizations involved (including by withdrawing the plan benefits attached to the circuit or limiting their circuits) and delete the circuit. The tournaments themselves are not deleted: they lose the badge and the benefits of the circuit.

These circuit terms are part of the launch offer and may be modified by the Editor; the terms in force are those published on this page.

9. Intellectual Property

The Platform code, design, logos, and branding are the exclusive property of the Editor.

Trading card game names, card names, and related trademarks are the property of their respective holders (including but not limited to Wizards of the Coast, The Pokemon Company, Ravensburger, Fantasy Flight Games, etc.).

Users retain all rights over the content they create on the Platform (decklists, profile information). By using the Platform, users grant the Editor a limited, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use, display, and distribute their content as necessary for the operation of the service.

10. Liability

The Platform is provided "as is" without warranty of any kind. The Editor does not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free availability of the service.

The Editor is not responsible for:

Actions or omissions of tournament Organizers.
Tournament results, standings, or pairings errors.
Disputes between players and Organizers.
Payment processing failures or delays by third-party providers.

11. User Conduct

All users must comply with applicable laws and these CGU. The following behaviors are strictly prohibited:

Identity fraud or impersonation.
Harassment, abuse, or threatening behavior toward other users.
Match result manipulation or submission of false results.
Spamming or sending unsolicited communications.
Unauthorized access to accounts, systems, or data.
Using a circuit for tournaments that are not genuinely part of it, or to circumvent the limits of a plan (see 8.1).

The Editor reserves the right to suspend or permanently delete any account in violation of these rules, without prior notice.

12. Account Deletion

Users may delete their account at any time from their profile settings. The deletion process requires:

Password confirmation.
Email confirmation via a signed link valid for 30 minutes.

Deletion is refused as long as the account holds a paid registration that has not been refunded, owns an Organization, or has a decklist committed to a tournament in progress. These situations must be settled first (cancellation, refund, transfer or deletion of the Organization).

Account deletion is definitive and irreversible. Your personal data is permanently anonymized: identifiers are removed, while tournament results may be retained in anonymized form for historical and competitive integrity purposes.

13. TIX (Reward Points)

Some Organizers use "TIX", event reward points. TIX are obtained in two ways: they are awarded by the Organizer at their sole discretion for participation or performance in their event, or they are bought from the Organizer as TIX packs paid by card.

TIX have no cash value, are not money or a payment instrument, and can never be exchanged, refunded or converted into money — including TIX obtained by purchase.
TIX are personal and non-transferable between accounts.
TIX are tied to the event for which they were obtained and can only be used within that same event (for example, on entries to other tournaments of that event or on the Organizer's shop items for that event).
TIX expire after a validity period set per event (by default, 90 days after the event ends). Expired TIX are forfeited without compensation.
TIX are issued and honored by the Organizer, not by the Editor; the Editor provides the technical ledger only and is not the issuer of any value. Any dispute about TIX is to be resolved with the Organizer.

Purchase of TIX packs: a TIX pack is a digital good delivered immediately to your event balance. The sale is final: a purchased pack is neither refundable nor exchangeable, and unused TIX are not repaid at the end of the event. The purchase is made from the Organizer, who is the seller; the price and the number of TIX per pack are set by the Organizer.

If you cancel a registration that you paid in TIX, the TIX are credited back to your balance for that event. They are never converted into money.

14. Applicable Law and Disputes

These CGU are governed by French law.

In the event of a dispute, the parties agree to seek an amicable resolution first. Any complaint should be sent to [email protected].

In accordance with Article L.612-1 of the French Consumer Code, a consumer is entitled to use a consumer mediator free of charge. The mediator appointed by the Editor will be published on this page and in the Legal Notice.

Consumers may also use the European Commission's online dispute resolution platform.

If no amicable resolution is reached, the dispute shall be submitted to the competent French courts.
