ARTICLE 2: Price

The prices of items on the site are displayed in Euros excluding taxes (HT).

The prices shown are exclusive of VAT. No French VAT is charged by the seller. Duties and taxes may be applied by the authorities of the country of delivery and remain the responsibility of the buyer.

The prices shown at the time of ordering are firm and final, except in the case of obvious display errors.

The Japanese TCG market is very competitive, and item prices can fluctuate significantly beyond our control. Therefore, we reserve the right to adjust the prices of offered items, either upwards or downwards, based on market price variations.

The products are shipped from Japan to third countries and are therefore subject to the customs regulations specific to the countries into which they are imported.

Since these regulations are imposed by the countries into which the products are imported and are beyond our control, it is the responsibility of the buyers (customers) to familiarize themselves with these regulations (payment of VAT and customs duties).

The buyer is responsible for paying the fees associated with these regulations.

ARTICLE 3: Purchasing Process

During their visit to the website https://www.cardsinjapan, customers can choose the items they wish to purchase by selecting them and placing them in their virtual shopping cart.

The number of these items that can potentially be purchased will depend on the quantity of items in stock as well as any restrictions on the number of items sold per person.

ARTICLE 4: Payment

Payment will be processed exclusively through Shopify's payment platform (Shopify Payments). The website cardsinjapan.com does not store any banking information.

The seller reserves the right to cancel any order in case of suspected fraud or payment problem.

ARTICLE 5: Delivery

As the company is based in Chiba (Japan), the items offered on the site are shipped from Japan to third countries, primarily French-speaking countries (France, Belgium, Switzerland, etc.).

Products ordered on the site will be shipped within 3 working days following payment validation unless otherwise indicated to the customer prior to purchase validation.

Delivery will be made by Japanpost via EMS, Japanpost's fastest and most reliable delivery service.

This service allows us to track the package throughout its shipment to the address you provided, in addition to insuring it against damage or loss.

The price and estimated delivery time will be communicated before the purchase is finalized.

Each order will be accompanied by a tracking number which will be provided to the buyer once the package has been shipped by the seller.

It is the responsibility of the customer, hereinafter referred to as the buyer, to verify that the delivery information provided (Name, Surname, Address, etc...) is correct.

Any error in data entry by the customer leading to an inability to deliver the package and its return to our warehouse will not be subject to any claim against the buyer.

The procedure applied will therefore be as follows:

The seller will have to wait for the package to be returned. Once the seller receives the package, if everything is in order, they will issue a refund for the order only. Shipping costs will not be refunded if the error is due to the customer (buyer).

If we incur any costs beyond our control related to this return, we will deduct them from the order refund.

The customer (buyer) will have the option to place another order if they wish, making sure to change the delivery address beforehand.

In the event that the buyer has chosen to order a pre-ordered item, the shipping time will start from the official release date of the product and/or the date communicated on the product page by the seller.

If an order contains both pre-ordered and currently available items, the shipment will not be split into two parts. All items will be shipped within 5 business days from the release date of the pre-ordered item(s) and/or the date indicated on the product page by the seller.

The package may be subject to delivery delays beyond our control (customs delays, peak periods, strikes, etc.). Cardsinjapan, hereinafter referred to as the seller, cannot be held responsible for delivery delays if the previously communicated shipping timeframe has been met.

ARTICLE 6: Refunds and Right of Withdrawal

If you wish to return a newly purchased item, please note that you have a period of 14 days from the date of receipt of the package in accordance with European Directive 2011/83/EU.

All returns must be made without first contacting customer service at the following email address: contact.cardsinjapan@gmail.com

The seller will then have 3 working days to contact the buyer again.

Following discussions and after verifying the validity of the request, the seller will inform the buyer of the procedure to follow. The buyer will have 3 business days to return the package, otherwise the seller reserves the right to refuse the return request.

We reserve the right to refuse any return request in the following situations:

Product sold as new but has been opened by the customer (unsealed)
Product sold as "used" or "not new" (individual cards, mystery packs or even individual boosters to avoid any substitution)
The withdrawal period has expired (14 days from receipt of the package).

Please note:

Return shipping costs are the responsibility of the customer .
Delivery charges will not be refunded.
The refund will be issued once the returned package is received by the seller within 3 business days.
In case of an error on our part (defective product or wrong reference), we will cover the return costs and issue a partial or full refund depending on the order and in the event that part of the order has not been returned.
The transaction fees ( between 3.55% and 3.99% depending on the payment method used ) as well as the currency conversion fees (euros>yen of 2%) of the total order amount charged to us by Shopify will not be refunded by Shopify and will therefore be deducted from the total amount refunded.

To prevent any errors on our part, all order preparations may be subject to video review by us and may be used if the situation requires it.

If the buyer wishes to make a claim regarding a preparation error or a damaged package, please contact us and provide all supporting documentation for your request (photos, order number, etc.) to the following contact address: '' contact.cardsinjapan@gmail.com '' we will get back to you within 3 business days.
