Effective Date: July 2, 2026
These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the Ripped Cards website, online store, and related services.
Throughout these Terms, “Ripped Cards,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to Ripped Cards.
By visiting our website, creating an account, submitting information, or purchasing a product, you agree to be bound by these Terms. Please do not use the website or place an order if you do not agree to these Terms.
1. About Ripped Cards
Ripped Cards sells sports cards, trading cards, collectibles, autographed merchandise, sports memorabilia, and related products online.
Products may be owned directly by Ripped Cards or offered for sale on behalf of third-party owners through consignment arrangements.
Consignment services, collection purchases, card submissions, and other specialized services may be governed by a separate written agreement.
2. Eligibility
You must be at least 18 years old and legally capable of entering into a binding agreement to make a purchase through our website.
Purchases for anyone under 18 must be completed by a parent or legal guardian.
By placing an order, you represent that the information you provide is accurate and that you are authorized to use the selected payment method.
3. Product Availability
Many sports cards and collectibles are unique, limited in quantity, or available as a single item.
Placing a product in your shopping cart does not reserve the product. A product may be purchased by another customer before you complete checkout.
All products are subject to availability. We may limit quantities, discontinue products, or cancel an order when a product is unavailable.
4. Product Descriptions and Photographs
We make reasonable efforts to describe and photograph our products accurately. However:
Colors may appear differently depending on your screen, lighting, or device.
Photographs may not reveal every scratch, mark, crease, dent, surface issue, print defect, stain, or other condition detail.
Product information may be based on available records, manufacturer information, third-party databases, or information supplied by a consignor.
Minor typographical, photographic, or listing errors may occur.
You are responsible for reviewing the complete product description, photographs, grading information, authentication information, and disclosed condition details before making a purchase.
If you have a question about a product, please contact us before placing your order.
If we discover a material error in a listing before shipment, we may cancel the order and provide a full refund.
5. Card Condition
Unless a listing specifically states that a card has been professionally graded, the card is sold as an ungraded or “raw” card.
Any statement made by Ripped Cards regarding the possible condition or grade of an ungraded card represents an opinion only. It is not a guarantee that a professional grading company will assign the same grade or any particular grade.
Condition standards can vary between collectors, buyers, sellers, and professional grading companies.
Normal manufacturing defects may include:
Off-centering;
Print lines;
Surface marks;
Edge wear;
Corner wear;
Wax stains;
Printing defects;
Factory scratches; and
Other production-related imperfections.
You should carefully review all available photographs before purchasing an ungraded card.
6. Professionally Graded Cards
Professionally graded cards are sold in the grading holder in which they were received by Ripped Cards.
The grade, description, authenticity determination, and label information belong to the applicable third-party grading company. Ripped Cards does not control the decisions or standards of grading companies.
Ripped Cards is not responsible for:
Differences of opinion regarding a third-party grade;
Changes in grading-company standards;
Population-report changes;
Label errors made by the grading company;
A grading company’s refusal to reholder, regrade, cross-grade, or authenticate an item; or
A different grade being assigned after a card is removed from its holder or resubmitted.
Any visible damage to a grading holder will be disclosed when reasonably noticeable. Minor scratches or ordinary wear to a holder may not be separately identified.
A card removed from its graded holder cannot be returned.
7. Autographs and Memorabilia
Autographed or game-used merchandise may include authentication from a third-party authentication company.
The product listing will identify any certificate of authenticity, letter of authenticity, serial-numbered hologram, witness certification, or other authentication included with the item.
Unless specifically stated in the listing, Ripped Cards does not independently guarantee:
That an autograph is authentic;
That an item was used in a particular game;
That an item was worn by a particular athlete;
That an item came from a particular event; or
That a third-party authentication company will authenticate the item in the future.
Any certificate, letter, hologram, or authentication document included with the product must remain with the product and must be returned with it if a return is approved.
8. No Affiliation With Leagues or Athletes
Unless specifically stated otherwise, Ripped Cards is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by any:
Athlete;
Team;
Sports league;
Card manufacturer;
Grading company;
Authentication company; or
Entertainment organization.
All third-party names, trademarks, team logos, card designs, and athlete images belong to their respective owners.
9. Prices
All prices are shown in U.S. dollars unless otherwise stated.
Prices, discounts, promotions, and product availability may change without notice.
We may correct pricing, description, or listing errors at any time. If an error affects an order that has already been placed, we may cancel the affected order and issue a full refund.
An incorrect price caused by a website error, technical problem, typographical mistake, or unauthorized alteration does not require us to complete the sale at that price.
10. Orders
Submitting an order constitutes an offer to purchase the selected products.
We may accept, reject, limit, or cancel an order for reasons including:
Product unavailability;
Pricing or listing errors;
Incorrect billing or shipping information;
Suspected fraud;
Unauthorized payment;
Previous fraudulent or abusive conduct;
Resale concerns;
Violation of these Terms; or
Restrictions imposed by a payment processor, carrier, insurer, or applicable law.
An order is not final until we accept it and provide confirmation or ship the product.
If we cancel an order after payment has been collected, we will refund the amount paid for the canceled product.
11. Payment
You authorize Ripped Cards and its third-party payment processors to charge the payment method supplied at checkout for:
The purchase price;
Applicable sales tax;
Shipping charges;
Insurance charges, when applicable; and
Any other fees clearly disclosed before checkout.
You represent that you are authorized to use the payment method submitted with your order.
We do not directly control the processing times, authorization decisions, fraud reviews, or refund-processing times of banks, card issuers, or payment processors.
12. Sales Tax and Other Charges
Applicable sales tax will be calculated and collected when required by law.
You are responsible for any use tax, customs duty, import charge, brokerage fee, or similar obligation that is not collected during checkout.
International customers are responsible for determining whether a product may legally be imported into their country.
13. Shipping Information
Orders will be shipped to the address provided during checkout.
You are responsible for confirming that your shipping address is complete and accurate before submitting an order.
Ripped Cards is not responsible for delays, additional charges, or failed delivery caused by an incorrect or incomplete address supplied by the customer.
Please contact us immediately if you discover an address error. We cannot guarantee that an address can be changed after an order has been submitted.
14. Shipping Time
Any delivery date or shipping time shown on the website is an estimate unless expressly identified as guaranteed.
Shipping and delivery may be affected by:
Carrier delays;

Holidays;
Natural disasters;
Incorrect addresses;
Customs inspections;

Security reviews; or
Circumstances outside our reasonable control.
If no shipping period is stated, we will ship within the period required by applicable law.
If we cannot ship within the promised or legally required period, we will provide any delay notice, cancellation opportunity, consent request, or refund required by applicable law.
15. Tracking and Delivery
When available, tracking information will be sent to the email address or account associated with the order.
An order will generally be considered delivered when the carrier’s tracking records show delivery to:
The shipping address;
A mailbox;
A parcel locker;
A reception area;

You are responsible for providing a secure delivery location.

Contact the carrier; and
Contact Ripped Cards.
16. Lost or Stolen Packages

When appropriate, we may:
Open a carrier claim;
Request additional documentation;
Issue a replacement when an identical product is available;
Provide store credit;
Issue a refund; or
Provide another resolution required by law.
Because many collectibles are unique, an identical replacement may not be available.
Ripped Cards is not responsible for theft or loss occurring after confirmed delivery, except where responsibility cannot legally be excluded.
17. Damaged Shipments
You must contact us promptly if a product arrives damaged.
To evaluate a damage claim, we may require:
Photographs of the product;
Photographs of the shipping box or envelope;
Photographs of all packing materials;
A photograph of the shipping label;
A description of the damage; and
Return of the product and original packaging.
Do not discard the product, shipping container, label, or packing materials until the claim has been resolved.
Failure to retain the packaging or provide requested information may prevent us or the carrier from processing the claim.
18. Returns
Unless a product listing states that the item is final sale, you may request a return within [NUMBER OF DAYS] days after confirmed delivery.
A return is not authorized until Ripped Cards approves the return and provides return instructions.
To qualify for a return:
The product must be returned in the same condition in which it was received;
The product must not have been altered, damaged, cleaned, repaired, opened, switched, or modified;
A graded card must remain in its original grading holder;
Sealed merchandise must remain sealed;
Certificates, authentication documents, accessories, and original packaging must be included; and

20. Return Shipping
Unless the return is caused by our error, the customer is responsible for return shipping expenses.
We strongly recommend using a trackable and adequately insured shipping method. The customer is responsible for the returned product until it is delivered to Ripped Cards.
If a product was materially misdescribed, damaged before delivery, or incorrectly shipped, Ripped Cards will provide any return-shipping reimbursement required by law or approved by us.
Original shipping charges are generally nonrefundable unless the return resulted from our error or applicable law requires otherwise.

We may reduce or deny a refund if the product:
Is returned in a different condition;
Is missing an included item;
Has been altered or damaged;
Has been switched for another product;
Is returned without authorization; or
Does not comply with the return instructions.
Processing times after a refund is issued depend on the customer’s bank, card issuer, or payment provider.
22. Order Cancellations
You may request cancellation before an order ships, but cancellation is not guaranteed.
Once an order has shipped, it must be handled under the applicable return procedures.
We may cancel an order at any time before shipment for reasons including product unavailability, listing errors, payment issues, suspected fraud, or violation of these Terms.
If we cancel an order, we will refund the amount collected for the canceled product.
23. Collectible Values
Sports cards and memorabilia may increase or decrease in value.
Past sales, price guides, auction results, population reports, market comparisons, and estimated values do not guarantee a future sale price or investment return.

Products sold by Ripped Cards are collectibles. They are not being offered as securities, financial products, or guaranteed investments.
You are solely responsible for deciding whether a purchase is appropriate for you.

If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent legally permitted.
