Terms of Service

Draft · last revised 17 September 2026

1. Accepting these terms

BlockRips (blockrips.com) is operated by [[COMPANY LEGAL NAME + REGISTERED ADDRESS — LUKE]] ("BlockRips", "we", "us"). These terms govern your access to and use of the BlockRips website and everything we provide through it (together, the "Service"). By using the Service you agree to these terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

You must be at least 18 years old (or the age of majority where you live, whichever is higher) to use the Service. By using it you confirm that you are, and that using BlockRips is lawful where you live.

2. What BlockRips is

BlockRips sells digital packs. Opening a pack reveals a graded collectible trading card, held in a secure vault and represented on the Solana blockchain. Which card you get is decided at the moment the pack is opened, at the odds published on the pack. It is not known to you or to us beforehand.

The Service exists for entertainment. Most rips are worth less than the pack cost, card values move with the collectibles market and can fall, and nothing on this site is financial advice or an invitation to invest. Spend only what you can afford to spend on entertainment.

Cards are sourced, vaulted, bought back and shipped through our partners: Slabz, who in turn work with Collector Crypt, the company that operates the vault and the on-chain card infrastructure. Those parts of the Service depend on our partners and are subject to their terms as well as ours (section 14).

3. Your account and your wallet

You sign in through our authentication provider using your email address or another supported sign-in method. A Solana wallet is created for your account automatically; you do not install anything or manage a seed phrase. You may also sign in with, or link, a Solana wallet of your own.

Access to your sign-in method is access to your account. Keep it secure, tell us immediately at support@blockrips.com if you think someone else has got in, and do not let anyone else use your account. One person, one account.

4. Your balance is held custodially: read this section

Your BlockRips balance and your cards live in an account wallet whose keys are managed by our wallet infrastructure provider, and every movement of funds or cards from that wallet is made by our servers on your instruction through the site. The Service gives you no way to export that wallet's keys or to operate it from outside BlockRips. In plain terms: you reach your balance and cards only through BlockRips.

This section is about your BlockRips account wallet. A wallet of your own that you sign in with or link stays yours, and we never hold its keys.

Your balance is USDC, a dollar-pegged stablecoin. It is not a bank deposit and it is not government-insured. It depends on the stablecoin's issuer and on the Solana network, neither of which we control.

5. Deposits

Deposits are USDC on Solana only, sent to your account's deposit address. That address exists on the Solana network and accepts nothing else: any other token, or USDC sent on any other network, is lost and cannot be recovered by us. The site says so next to the address. It is true, and it is your responsibility to heed it.

6. Purchases

Prices are shown in US dollars and settled in USDC from your balance. That is the only way to pay at launch: we take no card or other fiat payments, and we never see or store card details, because there are none. The USDC price shown is the USDC you pay.

Separately from the price, the Solana network charges a fee in SOL to record each transaction. Our partner builds those transactions: on some of them the partner pays that network fee, and on others it is paid from your account wallet. It is a cost of using the network, not a charge we set or receive.

All purchases are final. A confirmed Solana transaction cannot be undone, reversed or refunded by us, and a pack cannot be unopened. If a payment is taken and no pack is delivered, that is a fault on our side and we will put it right. Contact support@blockrips.com.

7. Your cards: keeping, selling back, redeeming

A card you pull is yours. You may:

• Keep it in your vault, represented on chain;
• Sell it back at the price quoted at that moment. Buyback is run by our partner, not by us. Our partner's stated standing offer level is at least 85% of a card's fair market value on our partner's own assessment, and where a quote is available, the price you are shown is our partner's own quote, passed to you unchanged. That level is our partner's to set and to honour. We do not calculate it, set it, or guarantee a floor beneath it, and this is a description of our partner's offer rather than a price promise from us. Quotes move with the market, a quote can change or expire before you accept it, and there are times our partner will not quote on a card at all, for example while an earlier sale of the same card is still clearing. Buyback is open for 72 hours after the pack is opened, and after that our partner may no longer quote on the card. Settlement is normally immediate, but a sale can sit in flight while the network or our partner catches up;
• Redeem it for physical shipment. Redemption is not switched on at launch.

When redemption is switched on, it works like this:

• Redeeming a card burns it. The on-chain representation is destroyed permanently when the physical card leaves the vault. A redeemed card cannot be un-redeemed, sold back or restored.
• Shipment is carried out by our partner, and your shipping details go directly to them (see the Privacy Policy).
• You pay shipping in USDC at the rate shown before you confirm. Solana network fees on the burn are covered by our partner.
• On international shipments, customs duties, import VAT and similar charges are yours, payable to your local authorities.
• Sales or use tax on a redemption, where any applies, is handled upstream by the vault operator that ships your card. BlockRips does not collect, calculate or remit sales tax on redemptions.
• Shipping is international, but it is not unconditional. You must not ask us to ship to a destination that sanctions or export controls prohibit, and we may refuse or cancel a redemption where sanctions, export controls or the carrier make delivery unlawful or impossible.

8. Withdrawals

You can withdraw USDC from your balance to a Solana address you control. Withdrawals are crypto-only: we do not pay out to bank accounts or cards. The current limits are:

• minimum $1 and maximum $500 per withdrawal;
• at most $1,000 in withdrawals per UTC day;
• at most 10 withdrawals per UTC day.

Check the address before you confirm. A withdrawal to the wrong address is irreversible and we cannot recover it.

We do not require identity verification at launch. That may change: we may introduce identity checks or adjust these limits, and we may delay or refuse a withdrawal where we reasonably suspect fraud, money laundering or a breach of these terms, or where the law requires us to.

9. Tokens and daily rewards

Tokens and daily-crate rewards are earned by using the Service and are never sold. They are a loyalty feature: they have no monetary value, cannot be withdrawn, sold or transferred, and buy nothing outside the Service. We may change how they are earned or what they do, or retire them, at any time without compensation. Tokens can be exchanged in the Store for BlockRips Credit (which only comes off the price of a pack here and is never paid out) or for merchandise we post to you. Store prices, the rank needed to redeem an item and the limit of one merchandise parcel per account every 30 days are set by us and may change; a refused redemption takes nothing from you.

10. What you must not do

You agree not to:

• use the Service if you are under 18, or on someone else's behalf without their authority;
• use it where doing so breaks the law where you live, or while you are subject to sanctions;
• automate, script or scrape the Service, or interfere with it or try to get around its limits, including the withdrawal limits;
• use BlockRips to launder money, or with funds that are not lawfully yours;
• impersonate any person, including in the name you choose;
• attempt unauthorised access to the Service or the systems behind it.

We may suspend or close an account that does any of these, and may hold its balance while we investigate suspected fraud or unlawful use.

11. Our content

The BlockRips name, logo, artwork, animation and site design are ours and are protected by intellectual-property law. They are not licensed to you beyond normal use of the site. Card images, card names and grading marks belong to their respective owners.

11a. Recordings you make

RECORD on the desktop site records your rips in your own browser: the pack opening, and your camera and microphone if you leave them on. Nothing is recorded until you turn RECORD on, and nothing leaves your browser until a clip is saved. Saved clips are stored by us and shown on your profile to signed-in customers; a clip becomes public at its own link only when you copy that link or post it. You can delete any clip at any time, which removes the file. By saving a clip you confirm you have the right to record anyone who appears in it.

12. What we do not promise

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE", WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

We do not promise the Service will be uninterrupted or error-free, and we depend on third parties (our card partners, our wallet infrastructure provider, our hosting providers and the Solana network) whose failures we cannot control.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT THE LAW ALLOWS, WE ARE NOT LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST PROFITS, LOST DATA OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES, ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE.

Nothing in these terms limits liability for fraud, for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for anything else that cannot lawfully be limited.

13. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless BlockRips, its affiliates and partners, and their officers, employees and agents, from claims, damages, losses and reasonable legal costs arising out of your use of the Service or your breach of these terms.

14. Our partners, and their terms

Pack opening, vaulting, buyback and physical redemption are carried out through Slabz and Collector Crypt. Your use of those parts of the Service is also subject to Collector Crypt's Terms of Service, published on their site. Where their terms govern the vault, redemption or buyback and conflict with ours on those subjects, theirs control for those services.

15. Changes, termination, governing law

We may change these terms. For material changes we will say so on the site and update the date at the top; continuing to use the Service after that means you accept the new terms.

You can stop using BlockRips at any time. We may suspend or terminate access for breach of these terms. Cards and balance you lawfully hold remain yours, subject to section 10.

These terms are governed by the law of [[GOVERNING LAW JURISDICTION — LUKE]], and its courts have exclusive jurisdiction over disputes arising from them.

Privacy Policy

Draft · last revised 17 September 2026

1. Who we are

BlockRips (blockrips.com) is operated by [[COMPANY LEGAL NAME + REGISTERED ADDRESS — LUKE]], which is responsible for the personal information described in this policy. This policy should be read together with our Terms of Service. If you do not agree with it, do not use BlockRips.

2. For adults only

BlockRips is for people 18 and over. We do not knowingly collect anything from anyone under 18, and we close accounts we discover to belong to minors. If you believe a minor has an account, tell us at info@blockrips.com.

3. What we collect

To sign you in: the sign-in identity you use with our authentication provider, Privy, and the account identifier it gives us. Depending on how you sign in, that identity is an email address, a linked account such as Google, or the address of a Solana wallet you own. Privy sends your sign-in codes to your email address.

Because you used the site: your account's Solana wallet address, your USDC balance, and your transaction history: the packs you ripped, the cards you pulled, sold back or redeemed, and your deposits and withdrawals. Some of this is also recorded on the Solana blockchain, which is public and permanent (section 7).

Automatically: your IP address, browser and device type, and basic request logs, used to keep the site working and to stop abuse. When our bot-protection service is enabled, it also processes connection data to tell people from bots.

Through analytics: which pages you open, which controls you use and which link brought you here, so we can see whether the site works as intended. We use two tools for this, Google Analytics and PostHog. Neither is given your name, your email address, your wallet address, or the value of any card or any amount of money. See section 8 for the cookies they set.

When you redeem merchandise from the Store: the delivery name, postal address and email address you type in. They are kept with that order so we can post it and tell you when it has gone, and are used for nothing else.

We do not require identity documents at launch. If identity checks are introduced later (for example for withdrawals), we will update this policy first.

4. What we deliberately do not collect

BlockRips is built to hold as little about you as possible:

• No shipping details at rest. When you redeem a card for physical shipment, your name, address, email and phone number go directly to the partner who ships it and are stored in their systems, not ours. We keep the shipment's status references, not your address.
• No names or addresses in our logs. Our server logs record error codes, request identifiers and an internal account identifier. They do not record your name, your shipping address or your phone number.
• No card numbers, no bank details. We take no fiat payments at all.
• No passwords. Sign-in is code- and provider-based; there is no password to store.
• No advertising trackers. Our analytics (section 8) run with advertising features and ad personalisation switched off, we run no advertising pixels, and we sell nothing about you to anyone.

5. Why we use it

• To run your account, deliver what you bought, and pay out what you withdraw.
• To detect and prevent fraud, abuse and money laundering, which matters especially because crypto transactions are irreversible.
• To meet legal obligations, and to answer you when you contact us.
• To send service emails such as sign-in codes. These are not marketing and cannot be opted out of while you have an account. We send no marketing emails.

We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it for advertising.

6. Who we share it with

Only the parties that make the product work, each with only what it needs:

• Privy. Authentication and wallet infrastructure. Holds your sign-in identity, manages your account wallet's keys, and delivers your sign-in codes by email.
• Our card partners, Slabz and Collector Crypt. To source, vault, buy back and ship cards. When you redeem, the shipping details you enter go to them (section 4), and their handling of that information is governed by their own privacy policies.
• Whoever packs and posts Store merchandise. When you redeem an item of merchandise, the delivery details you enter go to the printer or courier that packs and posts it, and to nobody else.
• Supabase. Our database provider; stores your account records.
• Vercel. Hosts the site and its API; your requests pass through their infrastructure.
• Helius. Our Solana network provider. Our servers read the blockchain and submit transactions through them, so your wallet address and its activity pass through their infrastructure.
• Cloudflare. Bot protection (Turnstile). It is not switched on today; if we switch it on, it will process connection data to tell people from bots.
• WalletConnect. Only if you choose to connect an external wallet.
• Google Fonts. The site's typefaces load from Google, which sees the request like any web host does.
• Law enforcement or regulators, where we are legally required.

Some of these providers process data in the United States or other countries. Where transfer rules apply, we rely on the safeguards those providers offer, such as standard contractual clauses.

7. The blockchain, and what nobody can delete

Deposits, purchases, sales, burns and card ownership are recorded on Solana, a public blockchain. Anyone can read those records, forever; they are not ours to erase. A wallet address is pseudonymous, but anyone who learns which address is yours can read that address's full history. Deleting your account removes your identity and account records from our systems; it cannot remove anything already written on chain.

8. Cookies and local storage

We use what the site needs to work: keeping you signed in, remembering settings on your device, and remembering which link brought you here. Our bot-protection service, when enabled, may set its own cookie strictly to function.

We also use analytics cookies. Google Analytics sets its own first-party cookies (_ga and _ga_…) so that your return visits are counted as one person rather than several; they expire after two years. PostHog, our other analytics tool, is configured to set no cookies at all and to remember nothing between page loads. We set no advertising cookies. You can clear or block any of these in your browser at any time; the site keeps working without them, though you may be signed out.

9. How long we keep it

For as long as you have an account, and afterwards only as long as we must for legal, tax and anti-fraud reasons. Blockchain records are permanent and outside anyone's control (section 7).

10. Your rights

Depending on where you live, including under the EU's GDPR and California's CCPA/CPRA, you may have the right to access the personal information we hold about you, correct it, delete it, object to or restrict how we use it, or receive a copy of it in a portable format. Because we do not sell personal information, there is no sale to opt out of.

To exercise a right, email info@blockrips.com. We will verify that the request really comes from you, answer within the time the law allows, and never treat you differently for asking. You can also complain to your local data protection authority.

11. Security

We protect your information with encryption in transit, access controls on our systems, and above all by not holding what we do not need: no passwords, no card numbers, no shipping addresses (section 4). Wallet keys are managed by our wallet infrastructure provider and are never handled by our own code. No system is perfectly secure; if a breach affects you, we will tell you.

12. Changes

If we change this policy we will update the date at the top and, for anything significant, say so on the site. Continuing to use BlockRips after a change means you accept it.
