Terms and Conditions
OVERVIEW
Welcome to CardBuddys! The terms “we”, “us” and “our” refer to CardBuddys GmbH. CardBuddys GmbH operates this store and this website, including all related information, content, features, tools, products and services, to provide you, the customer, with a curated shopping experience (the “Services”). CardBuddys GmbH is powered by Shopify, which enables us to provide the Services to you.
The following terms and conditions, together with all policies referenced herein (these “Terms and Conditions” or “Terms”), describe your rights and responsibilities when using the Services.
Please read these Terms and Conditions carefully, as they contain important information about your legal rights and cover areas such as warranty disclaimers and limitations of liability.
By visiting, using or interacting with our Services, you agree to these Terms and Conditions and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to these Terms and Conditions or the Privacy Policy, you should not use or access our Services.
SECTION 1 – ACCESS AND ACCOUNT
By agreeing to these Terms and Conditions, you represent that you are at least the age of majority in your state or province of residence and have given us your consent to allow your minor dependents to use the Services on devices you own, purchase or manage.
To use the Services, including accessing or browsing our online stores or purchasing the products and services we
offer, you may be asked to provide certain information, such as your email address and billing, payment and shipping information. You represent that all information you provide in our stores is accurate, current and complete and that you have all necessary rights to provide this information.
You are solely responsible for keeping your login credentials secure and for all activity on your account. You may not transfer, sell, assign or license your account to a third party.
SECTION 2 – OUR PRODUCTS
We have made every effort to display our products and services accurately in our online stores. Please note, however, that the colors or appearance of products may differ from what is displayed on your screen, depending on the type of device you use to access the store and your device’s settings and configuration.
We do not warrant that the appearance or quality of the products or services you purchase will meet your expectations or match the images or representations in our online stores.
All product descriptions may be changed at any time without notice at our sole discretion. We reserve the right to discontinue any product at any time and to limit the quantities of products we offer to any person, geographic region or jurisdiction on a case-by-case basis.
SECTION 3 – ORDERS
When you place an order, you are making an offer to purchase. CardBuddys GmbH reserves the right to accept or reject your order at its discretion for any reason. Your order is not accepted until CardBuddys GmbH confirms acceptance. We must receive and process your payment before your order can be accepted. Please review your order carefully before submitting it, as CardBuddys GmbH may be unable to accommodate cancellation requests once an order has been accepted. If we do not accept, change or cancel an order, we will attempt to notify you using the email address, billing address and/or phone number provided when the order was placed.
Returns or exchanges of your purchases are governed exclusively by the provisions of our right of withdrawal policy.
You represent and warrant that your purchases are for your personal or household use and not for commercial resale or export.
SECTION 4 – PRICES AND BILLING
Prices, discounts and promotions are subject to change without notice. The price charged for a product or service is the price in effect when the order is placed and will be stated in your order confirmation email. Unless expressly stated otherwise, quoted prices do not include taxes, shipping costs, handling fees, customs duties or import charges.
Prices quoted in our online stores may differ from prices in our physical stores or in online stores and other stores operated by third parties. From time to time, we may offer promotions related to our Services that may affect pricing and are governed by separate terms and conditions. If there is a conflict between the terms of a promotion and these Terms, the promotion’s terms take precedence.
You agree to provide current, complete and accurate purchase, payment and account information for all purchases made in our stores. You agree to promptly update your account information and other details, including your email address and credit card numbers and expiration dates, so that we can complete your transactions and contact you when necessary.
You represent and warrant that (i) the credit card information you provide is true, accurate and complete, (ii) you are duly authorized to use that credit card for the purchase, (iii) charges you incur will be honored by your credit card company, and (iv) you will pay the charges you incur at the quoted prices, including shipping and handling fees and any applicable taxes.
SECTION 5 – SHIPPING AND DELIVERY
We are not liable for shipping and delivery delays. All delivery times are estimates only and are not guaranteed. We accept no responsibility for delays caused by shipping carriers, customs clearance or events beyond our control. Once we hand the goods over to the shipping carrier, title and risk of loss pass to you.
SECTION 6 – INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
Our Services, including but not limited to all trade names, trademarks, text, advertisements, images, graphics, product reviews, video and audio files and their design, selection and arrangement, are owned by CardBuddys GmbH, its affiliates or licensors and are protected by United States and foreign patent, copyright and other intellectual property laws.
These Terms permit you to use the Services solely for your personal, non-commercial use. Without our prior written consent, you may not reproduce, distribute, modify, publicly display, publicly perform, republish, download, store, transmit or create derivative works from any materials on the Services. Except as expressly provided herein, nothing in these Terms grants or may be construed as granting a license or other rights under any patent, trademark, copyright or other intellectual property of CardBuddys GmbH, Shopify or a third party. Unauthorized use of the Services may violate federal and state intellectual property laws. All rights not expressly granted herein are reserved by CardBuddys GmbH.
The CardBuddys names, logos, product and service names, designs and slogans are trademarks of CardBuddys GmbH or its affiliates or licensors. You may not use these trademarks without prior written permission from CardBuddys GmbH. The Shopify name, logo, product and service names, designs and slogans are trademarks of Shopify. All other names, logos, product and service names, designs and slogans on the Services are trademarks of their respective owners.
SECTION 7 – OPTIONAL TOOLS
As part of the Services, you may receive access to customer tools offered by third parties. We do not monitor these tools and have no control or influence over them.
You acknowledge and agree that we provide access to such tools “as is” and “as available” without warranties, representations or conditions of any kind and without endorsement. We accept no liability for damages arising from or related to the use of optional third-party tools.
Any use by you of optional tools offered through the website is entirely at your own risk and discretion. You should therefore familiarize yourself with and accept the terms of use of the relevant third-party tools.
We may also offer new features through the Services in the future (including releasing new tools and resources). Such new features are also considered part of the Services and are subject to these Terms and Conditions.
SECTION 8 – THIRD-PARTY LINKS
The Services may contain materials and hyperlinks to websites provided or operated by third parties (including embedded third-party features). We are not responsible for examining or evaluating the content or accuracy of third-party materials or websites you access. If you leave the Services to access these third-party materials or websites, you do so at your own risk.
We are not liable for damages related to your access to external websites or your purchase or use of products, services, resources or content on external websites. Please review the third party’s policies and practices carefully and ensure you understand them before making a transaction. Complaints, claims, concerns or questions about third-party products and services should be directed to the relevant third party.
SECTION 9 – RELATIONSHIP WITH SHOPIFY
CardBuddys GmbH is powered by Shopify, which enables us to provide the Services to you. However, all sales and purchases you make in our store are directly with CardBuddys GmbH. By using the Services, you acknowledge that Shopify is not responsible for any aspect of sales between you and CardBuddys GmbH, including any injuries, damages or losses arising from the purchase of products and services. You hereby expressly release Shopify and its affiliates from all claims, damages and liabilities arising from or related to your purchases and transactions with CardBuddys GmbH.
SECTION 10 – PRIVACY POLICY
All personal information we collect through the Services is subject to our Privacy Policy, which can be viewed here, and certain personal information may be subject to Shopify’s Privacy Policy, which can be viewed here. By using the Services, you acknowledge that you have read these privacy policies.
Because the Services are hosted by Shopify, Shopify collects and processes personal information about your access to and use of the Services to provide and improve the Services for you. Information you submit to the Services is transferred and disclosed to Shopify and to third parties that may be located in a country other than your country of residence, in order to provide services to you. For further information about how we, Shopify and our partners use your personal information, please see our Privacy Policy.
SECTION 11 – FEEDBACK
If you send, upload, post, email or otherwise submit ideas, suggestions, feedback, reviews, proposals, plans or other content (collectively, “Feedback”), you grant us a perpetual, worldwide, sublicensable, royalty-free license to use, reproduce, modify, publish, distribute and display that Feedback in any media for any purpose, including commercial purposes. For example, we may exercise our rights under this license to operate, provide, evaluate, expand, improve and promote the Services and to fulfill our obligations and exercise our rights under the Terms and Conditions.
You also represent that: (i) you own or have all necessary rights to all Feedback; (ii) you have disclosed any compensation or incentives received in connection with submitting your Feedback; and (iii) your Feedback complies with these Terms. We are and remain under no obligation to (1) keep your Feedback confidential; (2) pay you compensation for your Feedback; or (3) respond to your Feedback.
We may, but are not obligated to, monitor, edit or remove Feedback that we determine in our sole discretion to be unlawful, offensive, threatening, libelous, defamatory, pornographic, obscene or otherwise objectionable, or that violates any party’s intellectual property or these Terms and Conditions.
You agree that your Feedback will not violate any third-party rights, including copyright, trademark, privacy, personality or other personal or proprietary rights. You further agree that your Feedback will not contain defamatory or otherwise unlawful, abusive or obscene statements or computer viruses or other malware that could in any way affect the operation of the Services or a related website. You may not use a false email address, impersonate someone else or otherwise mislead us or third parties about the origin of Feedback. You are solely responsible for any Feedback you provide and its accuracy. We accept no responsibility or liability for Feedback posted by you or third parties.
SECTION 12 – ERRORS, INACCURACIES AND OMISSIONS
Occasionally, information on or in the Services may contain typographical errors, inaccuracies or omissions relating to product descriptions, pricing, promotions, offers, product shipping charges, transit times and availability. We reserve the right to correct errors, inaccuracies or omissions and to change or update information or cancel orders at any time without prior notice if information is inaccurate at any time (including after you have submitted your order).
SECTION 13 – PROHIBITED USES
You may use the Services only for lawful purposes. You may not directly or indirectly access or use the Services: (a) for unlawful or malicious purposes; (b) to violate international, federal, provincial or state regulations, rules, laws or local ordinances; (c) to infringe or violate our intellectual property rights or the intellectual property rights of third parties; (d) to harass, abuse, insult, harm, slander, defame, disparage, intimidate or injure our employees or other persons; (e) to submit false or misleading information; (f) to send, knowingly receive, upload, download, use or reuse material that does not comply with these Terms; (g) to send or arrange the sending of advertising or promotional material, including junk mail, chain letters, spam or similar unsolicited messages; (h) to impersonate or attempt to impersonate another person or entity; or (i) to engage in any other conduct that restricts or inhibits others’ use or enjoyment of the Services or that, in our judgment, could harm CardBuddys GmbH, Shopify or users of the Services or expose them to liability.
You further agree not to: (a) upload or transmit viruses or other types of malicious code used or potentially usable in a way that affects the functionality or operation of the Services; (b) reproduce, duplicate, copy, extract, sell, resell or otherwise exploit any part of the Services; (c) collect or track others’ personal information; (d) misuse the Services for spam, phishing, pharming or pretexting; (e) use robots, spiders, scraping tools, data collection and extraction tools, automatic devices or processes, AI tools (e.g. agentic AI), or automated or manual means to access the Services; or (f) interfere with, circumvent or tamper with security or authorization features, the robot exclusion header or other measures we use to restrict access to the Services. We reserve the right to suspend, disable or terminate your account at any time without notice if we determine that you have violated any part of these Terms.
SECTION 14 – AGENTS
14.1 This section (“Agent Terms”) applies if you use, permit, enable or cause an Agent to access, use or interact with Services. “Agent” means any software or service that acts autonomously or semi-autonomously on behalf of or at the direction of a person or entity and that may run on behalf of or using a person’s device without direct supervision.
14.2 No Agent may access, use or interact with the Services unless it identifies itself at all times and acts in strict accordance with the requirements in Section 14.4 below. Furthermore, no Agent may access, use or interact with Services if we have instructed it to cease accessing, using or interacting with a Service.
14.3 We may restrict, including through technical measures, whether and how an Agent accesses, uses and interacts with the Services.

WE DO NOT GUARANTEE, REPRESENT OR WARRANT THAT YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, TIMELY, SECURE OR ERROR-FREE.

SECTION 17 – LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL SASCHA STEINBRINK & DENNIS KAZIMIEREK GBR, OUR PARTNERS, DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AFFILIATES, AGENTS, CONTRACTORS, SERVICE PROVIDERS OR LICENSORS, OR THOSE OF SHOPIFY AND ITS AFFILIATES, BE LIABLE FOR ANY INJURY, LOSS, CLAIM OR DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE, CONSEQUENTIAL OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOST PROFITS, LOST REVENUE, LOST SAVINGS, LOSS OF DATA, EXCHANGE COSTS OR SIMILAR DAMAGES, WHETHER ASSERTED IN CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE) OR STRICT LIABILITY, ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES OR PRODUCTS PURCHASED THROUGH THE SERVICES, OR FOR ANY OTHER CLAIM RELATED IN ANY WAY TO YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES OR ANY PRODUCT, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ERRORS AND OMISSIONS IN ANY CONTENT, OR LOSS OR DAMAGE OF ANY KIND ARISING FROM THE USE OF THE SERVICES OR CONTENT (OR PRODUCTS) POSTED, TRANSMITTED OR OTHERWISE MADE AVAILABLE THROUGH THE SERVICES, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

We will notify you of any indemnifiable claim, provided that delayed notification will not relieve you of your obligations unless it materially prejudices you. We may control the defense and settlement of such a claim at your expense, including selecting counsel, but will not settle a claim requiring non-monetary obligations from you without your consent (which must not be unreasonably withheld). You will cooperate in the defense of indemnifiable claims, including by providing relevant documents.
SECTION 19 – SEVERABILITY
If any provision of these Terms and Conditions is found to be unlawful, invalid or unenforceable, that provision shall nevertheless be enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, and the unenforceable portion shall be deemed severed from these Terms and Conditions. Such a determination shall not affect the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions.

These Terms and Conditions, together with all policies or operating rules we publish on this website or in relation to the Service, constitute the entire agreement and understanding between you and us and govern your use of the Service. They supersede all prior or contemporaneous agreements, communications and proposals between you and us, whether oral or written (including earlier versions of the Terms and Conditions).
