"User": any individual registered on the Platform, whether acting as a Buyer, Seller, or both.

It is forbidden to:

4.2. Specific Seller obligations

Sellers agree to:

4.3. Specific Buyer obligations

Buyers agree to:

4.4. Content published by Users

Users are solely responsible for Content they publish on the Platform (Listing descriptions, comments, reviews, photos, etc.).

By publishing Content, the User guarantees that they have all necessary rights to this Content and that it does not infringe any third-party rights (copyright, personality rights, etc.).

The User grants Atticard a free, non-exclusive, worldwide, and transferable license to use, reproduce, modify, and distribute published Content, within the framework of Platform operation.

Atticard reserves the right to moderate, delete, or refuse any Content that would violate these ToU, applicable laws, or third-party rights.

5.1. Platform role

Atticard is a platform connecting Sellers and Buyers. The Platform is not a party to sales contracts concluded between Users.

Atticard acts as a host within the meaning of Law No. 2004-575 of June 21, 2004 for confidence in the digital economy (LCEN). As such, Atticard has only an obligation of means concerning the monitoring of published content and cannot be held responsible for content published by Users, except if it had actual knowledge thereof and did not act promptly to remove it.

5.2. Buyer protection fees

For each Transaction made via the Platform, buyer protection fees of 5% of the sale price, plus €0.70, are applied.

These fees are charged to the Buyer and constitute a security guarantee for the transaction (secure payment system, dispute management, automatic validation, shipment tracking).

The Seller receives the full sale price (100%) in their Stripe Wallet after Transaction validation.

Example: for an offer at €100, the Buyer pays €105.70 (€100 + 5% + €0.70) and the Seller receives €100 in their Wallet.

5.3. Payment and security

Payments are managed via Stripe, a licensed payment service provider.

The Buyer pays the total Transaction price (sale price + buyer protection fees + shipping costs) when validating their order. Payment is immediately captured and held by the Platform until Transaction validation.

The Seller receives the full sale price in their Stripe Wallet only after Transaction validation by the Buyer or automatic validation (see section 6).

Payment data (credit card numbers, bank details) are collected and stored exclusively by Stripe. Atticard does not have access to Users' complete payment data.

5.4. Seller Wallet (Stripe Connected Account)

Any Seller wishing to receive proceeds from their sales must create a Wallet by providing information required by Stripe (identity, date of birth, address, identity documents).

Information related to the Wallet (personal data, identity documents, bank details) are collected and stored by Stripe in accordance with its privacy policy.

The Seller can use their Wallet balance to make purchases on the Platform or request a transfer to their bank account (IBAN).

Adding a bank account (IBAN) is only necessary if the Seller wishes to withdraw funds to their bank account. They can accumulate a balance in their Wallet and use it for purchases without ever making a withdrawal.

5.5. Publishing Listings

Sellers freely publish their Listings on the Platform. Each Listing must include a detailed description of the Card (name, edition, language, condition, variant) and at least one photograph.

The sale price is freely set by the Seller. However, Atticard reserves the right to remove any Listing whose price would be manifestly disproportionate or contrary to good commercial practices.

The Seller guarantees the availability of the Card as long as the Listing is online.

5.6. Delivery

Deliveries are provided by Mondial Relay. The Seller generates a shipping label directly from the Platform and must hand over the package to a Mondial Relay point within 7 days following label creation.

Shipping costs are borne by the Buyer, unless otherwise stated.

The Seller agrees to carefully package the Cards to avoid any damage during transport (rigid protection, waterproof packaging).

6.1. Transaction lifecycle

Each Transaction follows an automated process comprising several stages:

1. Purchase validated: the Buyer pays, payment is captured;

2. Label created: the Seller generates the shipping label;

3. Shipment: the Seller hands over the package to the carrier;

4. Delivery: the package arrives at the pickup point;

5. Pickup: the Buyer collects the package;

6. Validation: the Buyer validates receipt or the Transaction is automatically validated;

7. Payment to Seller: funds are transferred to the Seller's Wallet.

6.2. Automatic cancellation for Seller non-validation of purchase

Deadline: 5 days from Transaction creation.

If the Seller does not create a shipping label within 5 days following purchase, the Transaction is automatically cancelled.

Automatic reminders: reminder emails are sent to the Seller on days 2 and 4.

Consequences on day 5:

6.3. Automatic cancellation for non-shipment

Deadline: 7 days from shipping label creation.

If the Seller does not hand over the package to the carrier within 7 days following label generation, the Transaction is automatically cancelled.

Automatic reminders: reminder emails are sent to the Seller on days 3, 5, and 6.

Consequences on day 7:

6.4. Automatic validation by default

Deadline: 5 days after package pickup by the Buyer.

If the Buyer does not validate receipt nor open a Dispute within 5 days following package pickup, the Transaction is automatically validated.

Automatic reminders: reminder emails are sent to the Buyer on days 2 and 4 after pickup.

Consequences on day 5:

Important: automatic validation means that the Buyer's silence constitutes acceptance of the Transaction. The Buyer is invited to check the Cards' condition upon receipt and report any problem before the 5-day deadline expires.

6.5. Automatic shipment tracking

Atticard performs automatic tracking of packages via the Mondial Relay API.

An automated system ("cron job") checks shipment status every 30 minutes (from 8am to 7pm, Paris time).

Notifications and automatic emails are sent to Users at each status change (shipment, delivery, pickup).

7.1. Dispute system between Users

In case of a problem concerning a Transaction (non-conformity, damaged Card, Card not received, counterfeit), the Buyer can open a Dispute via their Account within 48 hours following package pickup.

Opening a Dispute suspends the transfer of funds to the Seller.

Each party can provide evidence (photos, descriptions, messages).

Atticard intervenes as a mediator and examines the evidence provided by both parties.

Atticard makes a final decision which may be:

- Full refund to the Buyer;

- Partial refund (in case of compromise);

- Rejection of the Dispute and Transaction validation (payment to the Seller).

Atticard's decision is final and binding on both parties. However, in case of persistent disagreement, parties may resort to consumer mediation (see article 7.4).

7.2. Reviews and reputation

After Transaction validation, the Buyer and Seller can leave a review (rating from 1 to 5 stars and optional comment).

Reviews are public and visible on Users' profiles. They contribute to each User's reputation.

Reviews must be factual, courteous, and related to the Transaction. Atticard reserves the right to moderate or remove any insulting, defamatory, or manifestly abusive review.

Automatic reviews: in case of automatic cancellation for Seller non-response or non-shipment, an automatic 1-star review is created by the system. This review is identified as "automatically generated" and cannot be modified or deleted.

7.3. Legal guarantees

Since Transactions are concluded between individuals (consumers), no legal guarantee of conformity (articles L217-4 et seq. of the Consumer Code) nor guarantee against hidden defects (articles 1641 et seq. of the Civil Code) is applicable to the benefit of the Buyer.

However, in case of a Dispute, Atticard may intervene to facilitate an amicable settlement.

The Platform is not responsible for the quality, conformity, authenticity, or legality of Cards sold. This responsibility lies exclusively with the Seller.

7.4. Consumer mediation

In accordance with articles L611-1 et seq. of the Consumer Code, any consumer has the right to use a consumer mediator free of charge in case of an unresolved dispute with Atticard.

Atticard is in the process of appointing a consumer mediator. Pending this official appointment, you may use the European Commission's online dispute resolution platform: https://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr

Important: recourse to consumer mediation is optional and free. It can only be initiated after attempting to resolve the dispute directly with Atticard.
