Terms of Sale & Use

1. Scope, Acceptance & Eligibility

These Terms of Sale & Use ('Terms') constitute a legally binding agreement between you ('Collector' or 'User') and TrendSnap regarding your access to the platform and purchase of digital collectible cards. By ticking the acceptance box at checkout, signing in, or claiming a card, you confirm that you are at least 18 years of age (or have legal parental/guardian consent under applicable law), have full legal capacity, and are not subject to any trade sanctions or anti-money laundering (AML) restrictions.

2. Nature of Digital Collectibles & Non-Investment Disclaimer

TrendSnap cards are strictly consumer digital collectibles (Non-Fungible Tokens or 'NFTs') commemorating verified trending news moments. TrendSnap cards are NOT investment products, securities, financial instruments, digital asset investment contracts, deposit products, or shares. TrendSnap makes zero promises, guarantees, or representations regarding future value, liquidity, floor price, financial return, or secondary market demand. You should purchase cards solely for personal collection, enjoyment, and commemoration, and you bear the full risk that a collectible may hold no resale value.

3. Intellectual Property & AI-Generated Illustration License

Each TrendSnap card pairs factual, publicly reported trend metrics with an original AI-generated artistic illustration reviewed by our editorial team. Purchasing a card grants you ownership of the specific numbered blockchain token (e.g., Edition #007 / 100) and a worldwide, non-exclusive, non-transferable (except alongside a valid on-chain transfer of the token itself), royalty-free license to display, share, and showcase the card artwork for personal, non-commercial collector use (including social media profiles, Story posters, and virtual galleries). All underlying copyrights, trademarks, TrendSnap frame designs, and commercial merchandising rights remain the exclusive property of TrendSnap. You may not use the artwork for commercial merchandise, unlawful defamation, trademark registration, or misleading endorsement.

4. Pricing, Payment Locking, Taxes & Anti-Fraud

All prices are displayed in Thai Baht (THB) or equivalent USDC where applicable. When you initiate checkout, the displayed price is locked for 30 minutes; if payment is not confirmed within that window, the order automatically expires. Edition numbers are assigned sequentially in the exact chronological order that confirmed payments are finalized by our payment gateway or blockchain verifier. TrendSnap reserves the right to cancel, hold, or refund any order suspected of automated bot abuse, payment fraud, chargeback abuse, or unauthorized access.

5. Custodial Email Wallets & External Self-Custody Wallets

If you purchase without linking an external wallet, TrendSnap holds your minted NFT in a managed custodial wallet linked to your verified email address ('Email Wallet'). You may link and verify an external self-custody EVM wallet (such as MetaMask on Base) via cryptographic signature to receive or export cards. Once a card is minted or transferred to an external wallet address you designated, you are solely responsible for securing your private keys, seed phrases, and wallet access. TrendSnap will NEVER ask for your seed phrase or private key, and cannot recover tokens sent to an incorrect, compromised, or inaccessible external wallet.

6. Refund Policy & Blockchain Finality

Because blockchain minting is immutable and irreversible, all sales are strictly final and non-refundable once your NFT has been minted on-chain. However, if a card sells out before your confirmed payment can be minted, or if a technical failure permanently prevents minting of your order, TrendSnap will automatically issue a full refund of the purchase amount via your original payment channel (or record a direct refund for review). Bank and card refund settlement times depend on your financial institution.

7. Snap Points, Collector Streaks, Referrals & Perks

Snap Points, Collector Streaks, Album badges, and referral rewards are promotional loyalty features designed purely to unlock profile cosmetics and collector recognition. Points have zero monetary or cash value, are non-transferable, cannot be redeemed for fiat currency or cryptocurrency, and do not constitute property. TrendSnap may adjust, revoke, or modify point balances if self-referral, wash trading, refunded orders, or abuse is detected.

8. Secondary Marketplaces & Third-Party Services

TrendSnap cards follow standard blockchain token specifications and may be viewed or traded on third-party marketplaces (such as OpenSea) or processed via regulated payment providers (such as Omise). TrendSnap does not control, endorse, or guarantee the uptime, fees, smart contracts, or pricing of any third-party marketplace, wallet extension, or public blockchain network (including Base / Ethereum L2 gas fees or network congestion).

9. Limitation of Liability & Sandbox / Test Mode Notice

To the maximum extent permitted by law, TrendSnap is provided 'AS IS' without warranties of uninterrupted availability, and TrendSnap's aggregate liability for any claim arising out of a card purchase shall not exceed the actual amount paid by you for that specific order. When the platform displays the 'TEST MODE' banner, all payments are simulated sandbox transactions and tokens are minted on a test environment with zero monetary value.

10. Governing Law & Dispute Resolution

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Kingdom of Thailand. Any dispute shall first be submitted to good-faith negotiation via our support team within 30 days before pursuing remedies in the competent courts of Thailand.
