Terms and Conditions

Last updated: 10 August 2026

Section 1 Provider and scope

The TCG Actana desktop app and its required online services are provided by Darpin Digital, owner: David Demircian, Forstgarten 2, 37603 Holzminden, Germany (contact:info@tcgactana.com). These Terms apply to the desktop app, its associated account, and paid card allowances during the public beta. They apply to consumers and businesses. Mandatory consumer rights remain unaffected.

Darpin Digital remains the business, seller, and provider of TCG Actana and is responsible for delivery, product functionality, and product support. For paid orders through Stripe Managed Payments, Sold through Link, LLC acts as merchant of record for checkout, payment processing, invoices and receipts, indirect taxes covered by Managed Payments, and transaction support. This does not make Sold through Link, LLC the provider of TCG Actana.

Section 2 Service and beta status

TCG Actana helps sellers identify trading cards from scanner images or suitable photos, review ambiguous matches, and export completed batches as CSV files for TCG PowerTools. The app does not publish listings on Cardmarket and is not an inventory management system. Identification, catalogue, and price data can be incomplete, delayed, or incorrect. You must review the printing, condition, language, finish, quantity, and export before further use.

The public beta is test software. Bugs, interruptions, required updates, and necessary data resets may occur. Existing data, work history, and exports remain accessible when new scans are blocked because an allowance is exhausted, provided the service is technically available.

Statutory conformity rights for digital products apply. The current beta requires 64-bit Windows 10 or 11, or an Apple silicon Mac running macOS 11 or later, an internet connection, a confirmed Actana account, and a current system browser for checkout. Linux and Intel-based Macs are not currently supported. Core functions are identifying and reviewing Magic, Pokémon, and One Piece cards and exporting CSV files; the app does not publish directly to marketplaces.

Section 3 Account and one-time test cards

You create an account in the desktop app with an email address and password, then confirm your email address. During registration you accept the Terms and acknowledge the Privacy Policy. You must protect your credentials. Every account receives 100 test cards once, including accounts from the previous alpha. Test cards are not a permanent free plan, cannot be transferred or paid out, and are not granted again after a paid plan starts.

Section 4 Plans, prices, and contract formation

After the test cards, you can select one of these monthly plans:

All prices are total prices and include any applicable VAT. Every paid plan contains the same seller features and differs only by monthly card volume. Technical security, availability, and abuse-prevention limits also apply to Unlimited; they must not be used to introduce a hidden card allowance after the fact.

A paid contract for TCG Actana with Darpin Digital arises only when you actively select a plan and complete the Stripe-hosted Managed Payments Checkout. The checkout identifies Sold through Link, LLC as merchant of record. The plan, total price, billing interval, and automatic renewal are displayed before you place the order. Access is activated only after server-side payment confirmation. Previous alpha use never creates a subscription or charge automatically.

Order process, corrections, and contract text

You select a plan in the desktop app and review its allowance, monthly total price, term, renewal, and legal documents. Before checkout opens, you can close the dialog or select a different plan. In the Stripe-hosted Managed Payments Checkout, you can review and correct billing, tax, and payment details before ordering. Only the final order through a control that unambiguously indicates the payment obligation completes the paid order process; the server then confirms the status.

We store the selected plan, the versions of the Terms and privacy notice in effect at contract formation, the required consent evidence, and the Stripe/Link transaction references. You receive the contract content, mandatory information, and your declarations by email on a durable medium before the paid service begins. You can open and save the linked Terms before ordering. Link provides invoices and receipts as well as payment and subscription management at link.com. Contract formation and communication are available in German and English. We do not subscribe to a special code of conduct.

Section 5 Billing and card allowance

The monthly price is charged by Sold through Link, LLC through Stripe Managed Payments at the start of each billing period. An allowance applies to the monthly billing period shown at checkout; unused cards do not carry over. A card counts when an automatic match or a match marked for review is successfully added to the batch. Crop and full-image attempts for the same logical card count no more than once in total. A genuine no-match, rejected file, server error, transport retry of the same card, manual search, swap, edit, and export do not count as an additional card.

Invoices, receipts, payment methods, and the subscription are managed through Link. Sold through Link, LLC provides transaction support; Darpin Digital remains responsible for TCG Actana and product support. If payment fails, access to new scans may be blocked after the already-paid period ends. Statutory rights relating to withholding, price reduction, and conformity remain unaffected.

Section 6 Term, renewal, and cancellation

A paid plan runs for one month and renews for another month until cancelled. You can cancel at any time with effect at the end of the current billing period. Subscription management is available through Link atlink.com; you can also cancel at any time through Cancel contracts here. Paid access remains available until the end of the current period. Cancellation does not delete your account or existing data. Unused allowance is not paid out; statutory refund and withdrawal rights remain unaffected.

Section 7 Consumer right of withdrawal

Consumers generally have a statutory right of withdrawal. Details, withdrawal instructions, and the model form are available under Withdraw from a contract. If you expressly request access before the withdrawal period ends and later withdraw, a proportionate amount may be payable for services provided up to that point where permitted by law. These Terms do not restrict the statutory right of withdrawal.

Section 8 Account and data deletion

You can delete your account in the desktop app under Settings → Account → Danger Zone → Delete account. Once completed, the account and associated operational collection, work-history, and scan data cannot be restored. Files you exported are not deleted. Invoices, payment records, and evidence of contracts, cancellations, or withdrawals may and must be retained to the extent required by law. An active subscription must be ended and safely settled before account deletion.

Section 9 Rules of use

You must not use TCG Actana unlawfully, bypass security or access restrictions, interfere with technical operations, artificially multiply requests, or retrieve data automatically beyond the intended app use. We may temporarily suspend access or close an account for good cause in the event of serious or repeated violations. Existing paid and statutory rights remain unaffected.

Section 10 Card, image, and price data

Card, image, and price data is provided solely for information. Some data comes from third parties and can be incomplete, delayed, or incorrect. It is not a guarantee of value or investment, purchase, or sale advice. TCG Actana is not a marketplace, and no card purchase or sale is concluded through the app. Trademarks, logos, and card images belong to their respective rights holders.

Section 11 Availability, updates, and changes

During the supply period, we provide updates required to keep the product in conformity, including security updates, and inform you about them. Maintenance, updates, bugs, and outages may temporarily restrict use.

We may make changes beyond those required to maintain conformity, without additional cost, only for a valid reason specified in the contract: to comply with changed law or binding regulatory requirements, address specific security or abuse risks, adapt to changed operating systems, interfaces, or third-party data sources, or technically develop the service while preserving the agreed core scanning, review, and export functions. We inform you clearly about such changes.

If a change impairs access or usability by more than a minor degree, we inform you in advance within a reasonable period by email on a durable medium about the features and date of the change and your rights. You may then terminate the contract free of charge within 30 days, unless the statutory exception for a merely minor impairment applies or we maintain access to the unchanged product without additional cost. The card volume and price promised for an already-paid period will not be worsened retrospectively.

Section 12 Liability

We have unlimited liability for intent, gross negligence, and damage arising from injury to life, limb, or health. For ordinary negligence, we are liable only for breach of material contractual obligations, limited to the damage typical for the contract and foreseeable. Liability under the German Product Liability Act and mandatory conformity rights remain unaffected.

Section 13 Changes to these Terms

We may publish editorial clarifications and changes solely in your favour with future effect. We notify you in text form of other material changes. They apply to an existing contract only where there is a valid legal basis or you expressly accept them. Silence is not acceptance. A new payment obligation arises only through your active order.

Section 14 Final provisions

German law applies, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. Mandatory consumer protection rules at your habitual residence remain unaffected. We are neither willing nor obliged to participate in dispute resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration board. If an individual provision is invalid, the remaining provisions remain effective.
