7. Card Value — Important Notice
Please read this section carefully.
MonkyCards are collectible digital items. Their perceived value may change over time based on supply and demand. MonkyCards makes no guarantee that any card will increase in value. MonkyCards are not financial instruments, securities, or investments. Purchasing a MonkyCard should not be considered an investment decision. Christian Walter / MonkyCards bears no liability for any perceived loss in card value.
8. Right of Withdrawal — Digital Goods
Under EU consumer law (Directive 2011/83/EU), you generally have a 14-day right of withdrawal for online purchases. However, the right of withdrawal does not apply to digital content that has already been delivered where you have expressly consented to immediate delivery.
By completing your purchase on MonkyCards, you expressly agree to immediate delivery of your digital card and acknowledge that your right of withdrawal is forfeited upon delivery.
For customers outside the EU: please refer to the return and cancellation policies applicable in your jurisdiction. Contact info@monkycards.de with questions.
9. Trading Marketplace (Coming Soon)
A peer-to-peer trading marketplace is currently in development. Once live, collectors will be able to buy and sell cards with other users. Additional terms will be published before launch. MonkyCards reserves the right to charge a platform fee on marketplace transactions.
10. Intellectual Property
All content on the MonkyCards platform — including card designs, graphics, the MonkyCards logo, and website content — is the intellectual property of Christian Walter / MonkyCards and is protected under applicable copyright law.
As a collector, you receive a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to display your MonkyCards within your Collector Profile and on the MonkyCards platform. You may not reproduce, distribute, or commercially exploit any MonkyCards content without prior written consent.
11. Creator Content and Conduct
MonkyCards features real content creators. We are not responsible for the content, actions, or public conduct of any featured creator after their card is issued. If a creator requests removal from the platform, their card will be retired from active sale. Existing card holders retain their cards.
