Terms of Service

These terms apply to the use of the online marketplace at www.gampeon.com (the “platform”), including all related services such as user accounts, listing management and notifications.

The platform is operated by, and your contract for using the platform is with: GAMPEON, 363 Triq Manwel Dimech, SLM 1058 Sliema, Malta (“we”). [PLACEHOLDER: legal form, registration number, authorised representative]

Deviating or supplementary terms of users do not apply, even where we do not expressly object to them.

GAMPEON is a marketplace that connects buyers and sellers of gaming, retro and collector items. We provide the technical infrastructure: listings, search, categories and communication channels.

Purchase contracts for listed items are concluded exclusively between the respective seller and buyer. GAMPEON does not become a party to these contracts and gives no warranty for listings created by users.

Sellers acting as businesses are themselves responsible for complying with the legal obligations that apply to them (e.g. provider identification, consumer information, withdrawal instructions, statutory warranty).

A user account is required to create listings. Registration is only permitted for adults with full legal capacity.

Information provided during registration must be truthful; the registered email address must be current and reachable. Only one account per person is permitted; accounts are not transferable.

You must keep your credentials confidential. If you suspect that third parties have access to your account, please inform us without delay and change your password.

You can delete your account yourself at any time via the account page. Details on the processing of personal data can be found in the privacy policy.

You may only offer items that you own or are entitled to sell, and that are legally tradable.

Listings must describe the item truthfully, completely and unambiguously. Condition statements (e.g. “Mint”, “CIB”, “Very good”) must be made to the best of your knowledge; known defects must be disclosed.

Photos must show the actual item on offer and must be taken by you. Third-party product photos, catalogue images or misleading presentations are not permitted.

Duplicate listings of the same item and measures that manipulate search results, categories or prices are likewise not permitted.

We are entitled, but not obliged, to review listings before or after publication.

The following may not be offered on the platform in particular:

— counterfeits, bootlegs and reproductions not labelled as such (e.g. repro cartridges, reprinted trading cards, fake packaging or certificates of authenticity);

— stolen, embezzled or otherwise unlawfully obtained goods;

— items whose sale, possession or shipment violates applicable law, including indexed or confiscated media and content harmful to minors outside the legally permitted framework;

— pirated copies as well as hardware or software whose primary purpose is the unlawful circumvention of technical protection measures;

— digital accounts, keys or credits whose resale violates the terms of the respective provider or whose origin cannot be verified.

Descriptions and images must not contain unlawful, offensive, discriminatory or misleading content.

During the current build-up phase, the platform provides listings and their management. Payment or shipping processing through the platform does not exist yet; in this phase, any transaction is handled directly between buyer and seller at their own responsibility.

We plan to introduce escrow-based checkout through a licensed payment service provider: the purchase price is only released to the seller once the item has arrived with the buyer as described. Supplementary terms will apply when this feature launches; registered users will be informed in good time.

Sellers undertake to ship sold items promptly, carefully and securely packaged, and with suitable proof of shipment.

Use of the platform is currently free of charge.

Should fees be introduced in the future (e.g. a sales commission), we will inform users transparently in advance about their amount and calculation. Fees only apply to listings created and sales concluded after they take effect.

We expect respectful conduct. Harassment, threats, discrimination and deception of other users are prohibited.

Also prohibited are the manipulation of reviews or search results, automated extraction of platform data (scraping) without our consent, and interference with the technical infrastructure, in particular the circumvention of security measures.

You can report suspected unlawful content or violations of these terms to us at any time. [PLACEHOLDER: abuse contact, e.g. abuse@gampeon.com]

We review reports promptly and carefully. In the event of violations we may — taking severity and proportionality into account — remove content, end listings, restrict features or suspend accounts temporarily or permanently. In the case of serious violations, in particular counterfeits or attempted fraud, suspension may take effect immediately.

Affected users are informed of measures and their essential reasons and may request a review via the contact named above. Statutory rights and obligations, in particular under Regulation (EU) 2022/2065 (Digital Services Act), remain unaffected.

The platform is under active development. We strive for high availability but do not owe uninterrupted accessibility; maintenance and technical disruptions may lead to temporary restrictions.

We continuously develop the platform and may change, extend or discontinue features within a scope reasonable for users.

We are liable without limitation for intent and gross negligence as well as for damage resulting from injury to life, body or health.

In cases of slight negligence we are only liable for the breach of essential contractual obligations (obligations whose fulfilment makes the proper performance of the contract possible in the first place and on whose observance you may regularly rely), limited to the foreseeable damage typical for this type of contract.

We accept no liability for content, statements and listings of users or for the performance of contracts concluded between users.

Mandatory statutory liability remains unaffected.

We are neither willing nor obliged to participate in dispute resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration board.

We may amend these terms with effect for the future, for example for new features (such as the introduction of checkout), changes in the law or to close regulatory gaps.

We will inform registered users of changes in text form in good time before they take effect. For material changes we will actively obtain consent.

The law of the Republic of Malta applies, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods.

If you are a consumer with habitual residence in the European Union, you retain the protection of the mandatory consumer protection provisions of the state in which you have your habitual residence.

Should individual provisions of these terms be or become invalid, the validity of the remaining provisions remains unaffected.

These terms are available in German and English. In the event of discrepancies, the German version prevails.
