This Site is a neutral venue that connects users who wish to trade, buy, or sell tabletop games and related items ("Goods"). We are not a party to the transactions between users. You are solely responsible for your interactions and transactions with other users.
Article 1: User Registration and Account Security

Account Deletion: You can delete your account at any time through Settings → Delete Account on the Site. Retained records are described in Article 8.4.
Single Account Policy: Each user is permitted to create and operate only one account. The creation of multiple accounts by a single individual is prohibited and may result in the termination of all associated accounts.
Article 2: Community Guidelines and User Conduct
Respect and Fairness: All users must treat each other with kindness, respect, and fairness in all communications and transactions. Harassment, insults, or any form of abusive behaviour is strictly prohibited.
Prohibited Goods: You agree not to list any Goods that are illegal, counterfeit, stolen, incite hatred, or that infringe upon the intellectual property rights of others.
Accurate Listings: Sellers must create listings that are honest, accurate, and not misleading.
Ownership: Sellers must have the legal right and physical possession of all Goods they list for sale. Listing items that you do not own or that are not immediately available is prohibited.
Confidentiality of User Data: You agree that any personal information of another user (such as their name, email, or postal address) obtained through a transaction or communication on the Site shall be used solely for the purpose of completing that transaction. You are strictly forbidden from using this information for any other purpose, such as unsolicited commercial messages.
No Promotion of Competing Services: You are prohibited from using the Site, including listings, comments, or private messages, to advertise, promote, or direct users to any competing platform or service.
Seller Status Declaration: All users must declare if they are a "Business Seller" or a "Private Seller." This status will be clearly displayed on all listings. We collect and may verify identification information for Business Sellers as required by law.
Article 3: Buying and Selling Rules
Seller Responsibilities:
- a) Sellers are obligated to deliver the Good exactly as it was described in the listing.
- b) Sellers are responsible for the Good until it is successfully delivered to the buyer. If an item is lost in transit, the seller is responsible for resolving the issue with the buyer, which may include providing a full refund or arranging for a replacement.
- c) We strongly recommend that all items are sent using a tracked and signed-for shipping service. A Seller's refusal to reasonably resolve a lost-item dispute may result in a temporary or permanent ban from the Site.
Buyer Responsibilities:
- a) When a buyer commits to a purchase, they enter a pending state. During this time, the buyer and seller must arrange payment and delivery directly.
- b) Buyers are responsible for completing payment in a timely manner as agreed with the seller.
Returns: For Private Sellers: There is no statutory right to return a Good simply because you change your mind. Other statutory rights remain unaffected. Private Sellers may agree to accept additional returns. For Business Sellers: Where required by law, Business Sellers are responsible for handling any applicable consumer withdrawal rights or legal guarantees. The platform does not manage or enforce return policies or refunds.
Article 4: Payments and Our Role
User-to-User Transactions: Tabletop Junkie does not process payments for and is not a party to any financial transaction between users. All payment arrangements for the sale of Goods are made directly between the buyer and seller.
Payments Between Users: Tabletop Junkie does not guarantee payments made directly between buyers and sellers. Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability for Tabletop Junkie's breach of its contractual or legal obligations.
Voluntary Donations: We may accept voluntary donations to support the operation of the Site. These transactions are separate from user-to-user sales and are processed by a secure third-party payment provider. By donating, you agree to the terms of that third-party provider.
Listing Order: Matching listings are ordered by listing or relisting date, newest first by default. Other available sorts order them by date, price or distance. Payment does not affect their position.
Business Users' Data Access: Business users can access their account information, listings, messages and transaction history while their account is open. They cannot access other users' private data or non-public Site-wide data. Access ends on account closure. Data recipients, retention and personal data rights are described in Article 8.
Article 5: Dispute Resolution
User-to-User Disputes: Users are responsible for resolving their own disputes regarding payment, shipping, or the condition of a Good.
Reporting Users: If you believe a user has violated these Terms, you may report them using our contact form in the website's footer. Please provide supporting evidence.
Moderation: For breaches of these Terms or applicable law, we may remove content or restrict, suspend or terminate access to the Site. We use automated message checks to block messages or suspend messaging access, and human review to assess reported breaches. To request a review, use our contact form.
Article 6: Disclaimers and Limitation of Liability
Service: The Site and its services are provided on an "as available" basis. This does not exclude statutory warranties or other mandatory rights.
User Transactions: We are not a party to the sale contract between users. The buyer and seller are responsible for performing it. We do not guarantee completion of their transaction or perform the seller's consumer obligations. This does not exclude the Site's own legal obligations.
User Disputes: A dispute between users does not itself make Tabletop Junkie liable. Claims arising from our own breach of contract or law remain unaffected.
Site Availability: We do not guarantee that the Site will be available without interruption or error. Access may be suspended temporarily for maintenance, repairs, or for reasons beyond our control.
Data and Security: We are not responsible for any alteration, loss, or accidental transmission of data, or for the transmission of viruses. This exclusion does not apply to our failure to meet legal or contractual obligations or to liability that cannot lawfully be excluded.

Our Commitment: We are committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your personal data. The controller's identity and contact details are provided in our Legal Notice.
Data We Collect and Why:
- a) Email Address: We collect your email to create and secure your account, send essential service notifications (like sale updates or policy changes), and to communicate with you. The legal basis is the performance of our contract with you. Account contact management and registration statistics are based on our legitimate interest in administering the Site. Required account details are necessary to provide account features; without them, we cannot provide those features.
- b) Location Information: We collect your postcode (or zip code) and country to enable distance calculation and location-based features. Business seller profiles also include a business address and contact and registration details. We use these to identify business sellers and display their business information. The legal basis is the performance of our contract with you.
- c) IP Address: We collect your IP address upon login for security purposes. The legal basis is our legitimate interest in preventing fraud and protecting the integrity of our Site.
- d) Donation Information: If you donate, our third-party payment provider will collect payment information to process the transaction. We do not store your full credit card details. The legal basis is the performance of the donation contract.
- e) Email Subscriptions: We use your email address and preferences to send emails you subscribe to. The legal basis is your consent, which you may withdraw at any time.
- f) Acceptance and Consent Records: We keep evidence of your acceptance and email preferences to demonstrate compliance and establish or defend legal claims. The legal bases are our legal obligations to demonstrate consent and our legitimate interest in keeping evidence of our agreement and your choices.
- g) Marketplace Information: We process profile information, listings, messages, transaction records and feedback to provide the Site's features. The legal basis is the performance of our contract with you.
- h) Safety and Reliability: We process reports, moderation and security records and technical error information to prevent abuse and maintain the Site. The legal basis is our legitimate interest in a safe and reliable service. Where specific processing is required by law, its legal basis is that legal obligation.
Recipients: Information you publish is visible to other users; messages are shared with their recipients. We share data with providers for hosting, security and error monitoring, sign-in, location lookup, account contact management, email delivery, payments and audience measurement. We do not sell your personal data.
Data Retention: We keep account data while your account is active. After closure, identity and contact details and Terms acceptance evidence are kept for five years; account identification, authentication and collected payment data for one year. Transaction records, including sold listings, are kept for five years after completion. Public-content connection records are kept for one year from the event; other security logs for at most one year. Marketing consent evidence is kept while relied upon and for five years after withdrawal or replacement. Surplus mailing-list profile data is removed 30 days after both account closure and the end of all subscriptions. Minimum opt-out records are kept while the mailing service operates. Relevant evidence may be kept longer where necessary for a legal obligation, investigation or claim.
Your Rights: Subject to the applicable legal conditions, you may access, correct or erase your data, restrict processing, obtain data portability, and object to processing based on legitimate interests, including direct marketing. You may withdraw consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of earlier processing. You may complain to the CNIL or another competent supervisory authority, including the UK ICO. You can exercise your rights through your account settings or by contacting us via our contact form.
Article 10: Miscellaneous
Changes to Terms: We will notify you of significant changes and their effective date by email. For business users covered by Regulation (EU) 2019/1150, we give at least 15 days' notice on a durable medium, and longer where reasonably necessary to make technical or commercial adjustments. They may terminate before the changes take effect. The notice period does not apply where a legal obligation prevents it or an unforeseen and imminent danger requires changes to protect the Site or its users against fraud, malware, spam, data breaches or other cybersecurity risks.
Governing Law: These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with French law. This choice does not deprive consumers of mandatory protections under the law of their country of habitual residence. Disputes are subject to the courts of France, without restricting consumers' statutory rights to bring proceedings before other competent courts.
Governing Language: These Terms are drafted in the English language. If a translation of these Terms is made available in another language, the English version shall prevail in case of any conflicts or inconsistencies.
Assignment: We reserve the right to assign or transfer our rights and obligations under these Terms to a third party, for example, in the event of a sale of the business. Any transfer must preserve your contractual rights and protections.
Severability: If any provision of these Terms is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.
Cooperation with Authorities: Where required by law, we disclose the relevant information to competent authorities.
Contact: For any questions about these Terms, please contact us via our contact form.
