Legal Disclaimer & Terms of Use

Nature of Service

Tracked booster boxes (Authentic Card Japan) operates strictly as an autonomous price aggregation, data tracking, and affiliate marketing platform. We are not a retail store, marketplace, or auction house. We do not manufacture, purchase, inspect, store, sell, or ship any physical products. All commerce and transactions are executed exclusively between the user and third-party proxy services or shopping platforms.

No Affiliation with Source Platforms

Authentic Card Japan operates as an entirely independent entity. The pricing, product, and stock data displayed on this platform are aggregated from various public e-commerce networks, including but not limited to Rakuten and Yahoo Shopping. This website is not endorsed, sponsored, affiliated, or in any way officially connected with these source platforms, or any of their subsidiaries or affiliates.

Affiliate and Commission Disclosure

In compliance with global advertising transparency standards, including FTC guidelines, please be advised that this website contains affiliate links. We may receive financial compensation or commissions when users click these links and complete purchases on partner platforms. This tracking does not increase the purchase price for the user, and our price comparisons remain fundamentally objective and data-driven.

Data Accuracy, Delays, and Synchronization

While we employ automated systems to synchronize and update pricing and stock availability up to three times daily, all data is provided strictly on an "as is" and "as available" basis. Due to cache processing, network latencies, or third-party API restrictions, discrepancies may occur between the data displayed on our site and the actual, real-time data on the merchant site. Users are legally obligated to verify the final price, shipping costs, and product details on the destination platform prior to executing any checkout.

No Obligation to Maintain or Update Data

Authentic Card Japan reserves the absolute right, at its sole discretion, to modify, suspend, or terminate any data stream or content on this website at any time without notice. We are under no legal or contractual obligation to maintain, refresh, correct, or update any historical or real-time data point, chart, or text displayed on the platform.

Market Volatility, Speculation, and Financial Loss Disclaimer

Trading card products, booster boxes, and related collectibles are subject to extreme market volatility, speculation, and unpredictable price fluctuations. Historical pricing charts and data interpretation provided on this platform are intended strictly for educational and informational purposes. Nothing on this website constitutes financial, investment, or legal advice. We accept zero liability for any financial losses, diminished asset values, or failed investments resulting from the use of our data.

Currency Fluctuations and Conversion Rates

Any currency conversion rates or alternative fiat values, such as USD, EUR, or GBP, displayed on this platform are estimated benchmark figures generated via automated financial APIs or fixed reference rates. We do not guarantee real-time precision for these conversions. The final transaction amount will be determined entirely by the destination platform, the selected proxy handler, or the user's financial institution or credit card issuer. We disclaim all liability for discrepancies arising from currency fluctuations, conversion lag, or foreign transaction fees.

Link Expiration and Dynamic Redirections

The automated affiliate and proxy outbound links generated by our platform are dynamic and rely heavily on third-party URL structures. We cannot guarantee the absolute uptime, validity, or permanence of any outbound links. Products may become sold out, deleted, or reassigned by vendors, potentially causing links to error out or redirect to alternate merchant listings. Authentic Card Japan is entirely exempt from liability regarding incomplete transaction attempts or opportunity costs resulting from broken links.

AI-Generated Content and Translation Disclaimer

Portions of the text, product descriptions, market insights, and structural translations on this website may be generated or assisted by Artificial Intelligence technologies. We do not guarantee the absolute accuracy, reliability, or appropriateness of AI-generated statements. Authentic Card Japan disclaims all liability for any errors, hallucinations, or cultural misinterpretations arising from AI-assisted content.

Independent Relationship with Proxy Services

Authentic Card Japan operates entirely independently from all third-party proxy purchasing services, including but not limited to Buyee, ZenMarket, Leyifan, and related entities. We possess no administrative authority over their service fees, operational guidelines, country-specific shipping restrictions, or membership policies. Any account suspensions, shipping localized bans, or service modifications enacted by these proxy platforms are strictly outside our jurisdiction and liability.

Third-Party Platforms, External Links, and Malicious Content

Our platform automatically routes users to external third-party websites. We possess no administrative control over the content, security policies, business practices, or operational integrity of these external entities. We do not guarantee that external links are free of malware, sudden redirections, or modified listings, and we disclaim all liability for any harm, fraud, or data breaches experienced on third-party domains.

International Commerce, Customs, Duties, and Import Regulations

International buyers bear the sole and absolute legal responsibility for navigating the import laws of their destination country. Any and all customs duties, import tariffs, consumption taxes, VAT, brokerage fees, or administrative penalties levied during cross-border shipping are completely separate from our platform and must be paid entirely by the purchaser. We are not liable for packages confiscated, delayed, or destroyed by global customs authorities.

Product Authenticity, Condition, and Transaction Disputes

We do not verify, guarantee, or inspect the physical condition, sealing, factory shrink-wrap status, or structural authenticity of the booster boxes listed by third-party sellers. Any transaction disputes, requests for refunds, complaints regarding counterfeit or damaged items, or shipping delays must be negotiated directly with the specific proxy service or vendor used during the transaction. Authentic Card Japan has zero access to order data and cannot intervene in any commercial disputes.

Age Requirement, Minority Use, and Financial Responsibility

Access to this website and the utilization of our affiliate infrastructure is strictly restricted to individuals who are at least 18 years of age, or who possess the explicit, verifiable consent of a legal parent or guardian. We accept no responsibility or liability for unauthorized financial transactions or credit card usage executed by minors on our partner platforms.

Users irrevocably agree that any formal legal actions, litigation, or court proceedings against the operator of this website must be filed exclusively in the district court holding jurisdiction over the operator's place of residence in Japan.

Severability of Provisions

If any single provision or clause of this disclaimer is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, that specific provision shall be severed from the document. Such a finding shall not affect the validity, legality, or enforceability of the remaining provisions, which shall continue in full legal force and effect.
