You may use ELITCG only for lawful purposes.
By placing an order, you confirm that you have the legal capacity to enter into a purchase agreement or that you are acting with the permission of a parent or legal guardian where required by applicable law.

4. Website Information
We make reasonable efforts to ensure that information displayed on ELITCG is accurate and up to date.
However, occasional errors may occur regarding:
- Product descriptions
- Product images
- Availability
- Release dates
- Prices
- Stock quantities
- Packaging
- Technical specifications
We may correct obvious errors or update website information when necessary.
Nothing in this section limits any mandatory consumer rights.
5. Product Availability
All products are subject to availability.
Adding a product to your shopping cart does not reserve it.
A product may become unavailable before checkout is completed, particularly during:
- High-demand releases
- Restocks
- Limited-edition launches
- Pre-order periods
- Promotional events
If ELITCG is unable to fulfil an order after confirmation, we will contact the customer and provide an appropriate refund for the unavailable product.
6. Product Images & Packaging
Product images are intended to provide an accurate representation of the products offered.
Packaging may occasionally vary due to:
- Manufacturer updates
- Regional differences
- Production batches
- Promotional packaging changes
Minor differences that do not materially change the product may therefore occur.
The language, edition and product type displayed in the product description should always be reviewed before purchase.
7. Pricing
Prices displayed on ELITCG may change over time due to factors including:
- Product availability
- Supplier pricing
- Market conditions
- Promotions
- Exchange rates
- Distribution costs
Any price change applies only to future purchases and does not affect an order already validly confirmed, except in cases of obvious technical or pricing errors and subject to applicable law.
The final amount payable is shown before the order is completed.
8. Orders
When you place an order through ELITCG, you are responsible for ensuring that all information provided is accurate.
This includes:
- Products ordered
- Quantities
- Shipping address
- Billing information
- Email address
- Delivery method
After placing an order, you will normally receive an order confirmation by email.
Please contact help@elitcg.com immediately if you notice an error.
9. Order Acceptance
Receipt of an automated order confirmation does not prevent ELITCG from conducting reasonable verification relating to:
- Payment
- Fraud prevention
- Product availability
- Shipping information
- Technical errors
Where an order cannot legally or practically be fulfilled, we will notify the customer and refund any applicable amount.
10. Order Limits
ELITCG may occasionally apply purchase limits to certain high-demand or limited products.
These limits may be applied:
- Per customer
- Per household
- Per account
- Per payment method
- Per shipping address
Where clearly communicated, attempts to intentionally circumvent purchase limits may result in affected quantities being cancelled.
Any refund due following such cancellation will be processed using the original payment method.
11. Pre-Orders
Products marked Pre-Order are offered before their expected release or before they become available for immediate dispatch.
Release dates are estimates based on information available from manufacturers, publishers, suppliers or distributors and may change.
Pre-order availability may also depend on confirmed supplier allocations.
Additional terms relating to pre-orders are available in our Terms & Conditions, Shipping & Returns Policy and Refund Policy.
12. Payments
Available payment methods are displayed during checkout.
Payments may be processed by Shopify or other secure payment providers.
You agree to provide valid and authorised payment information.
ELITCG may decline or place an order on hold where reasonably necessary because of:
- Failed payments
- Suspected fraud
- Unauthorised transactions
- Payment disputes
- Security verification requirements
13. Fraud Prevention
We take reasonable measures to protect ELITCG and our customers against fraudulent transactions.
Orders displaying unusual or potentially fraudulent characteristics may be subject to additional verification.
Where appropriate, we may request information reasonably necessary to confirm that the person placing the order is authorised to do so.
We will not request unnecessary sensitive information.
14. Shipping
ELITCG offers international shipping to supported destinations.
Shipping methods, costs and estimated delivery times are displayed during checkout where available.
Customers must provide a complete and accurate delivery address.
Further information is available in our Shipping & Returns Policy.

ELITCG may offer free shipping on orders over $150 where eligible.
Availability may depend on:
- Shipping destination
- Order value
- Shipping method
- Promotional conditions
The applicable shipping options will be displayed during checkout.
16. Customs & Import Charges
International orders may be subject to customs duties, import taxes, clearance fees or other charges imposed by the destination country.
Where these amounts are not collected by ELITCG during checkout, they may be payable separately by the recipient.
ELITCG does not control charges imposed directly by customs authorities, governments or third-party carriers.
17. Returns & Refunds
Returns and refunds are governed by our dedicated:
Shipping & Returns Policy
Refund Policy
These policies include information regarding:
- Statutory withdrawal rights
- Return procedures
- Damaged products
- Incorrect products
- Refund processing
- Pre-order cancellations
Nothing in these Terms of Service restricts mandatory consumer rights provided by applicable law.
18. TCG Products & Random Contents
Many Trading Card Game products contain randomly inserted cards.
Unless specifically guaranteed by the manufacturer or explicitly stated on the product page, purchasing a sealed product does not guarantee:
- A specific card
- A particular rarity
- A specific pull rate
- A particular market value
- A profit or investment return
The value of collectible cards can increase or decrease over time.
ELITCG does not guarantee the future resale value of any collectible product.
19. Sealed Collectibles
Certain ELITCG products are purchased specifically for their sealed collectible condition.
Opening:
- Booster packs
- Boxes
- Manufacturer shrink wrap
- Factory seals
- Internal sealed components
may significantly affect their collectible value.
Customers should therefore inspect collectible products carefully before altering their original sealed condition.
Mandatory consumer rights remain unaffected.
20. Product Authenticity
ELITCG is committed to selling authentic Trading Card Game products.
We do not knowingly offer counterfeit or unauthorised replica products.
