Website Terms of Use

Terms For This Website.

Last updated September 25, 2026. These terms take effect when posted on this website.

These Terms of Use govern your access to and use of the website operated by Grind Time LLC, doing business as TCGMRT ("TCGMRT," "we," "us," or "our").

By using this website, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the website.

1. Website Purpose and Our Role

Grind Time LLC, doing business as TCGMRT, operates trading card vending machines and sells sealed trading card products online and through machines. We are a retailer and machine operator, not the manufacturer or publisher of the third-party trading card products we sell.

TCGMRT is the seller for orders placed through this website. Product information in our online catalog comes from an external product feed; checkout and fulfillment are handled by TCGMRT. Machine purchases are separate transactions.

2. Machine Locations

We aim to keep our published machine location information accurate, but operating status and venue hours may change.

Check the location page for current details or contact us with questions about a specific machine.

3. Trading Card Products and Randomized Contents

Sealed trading card products may contain randomized cards.

TCGMRT does not guarantee that a particular sealed product contains any specific card, rarity, collectible value, or resale value.

Card artwork and examples displayed on this website are for identification, education, and discovery unless explicitly stated otherwise.

4. Chase Board Market Information

The Chase Board may display card information, images, estimated market prices, and other information supplied by third-party data providers.

Market data may be delayed, incomplete, unavailable, or subject to change.

Displayed values are estimates and are not guaranteed purchase prices, resale prices, trade-in offers, or investment advice.

TCGMRT does not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or continued availability of third-party market data.

The Chase Board does not guarantee that any displayed card can be obtained from a product sold in a TCGMRT machine.

5. Third-Party Content and Intellectual Property

Trading card game names, characters, card images, and related trademarks belong to their respective owners.

References to third-party trading card games are used to identify relevant products and information. Unless expressly stated, they do not imply sponsorship, endorsement, or affiliation with TCGMRT.

TCGMRT's original branding, website design, and other original materials are owned by TCGMRT or used with permission, as applicable.

You may not reproduce or commercially exploit our original website materials without authorization, except as permitted by applicable law.

6. Acceptable Website Use

You agree not to:

  • Interfere with the website's operation or security.
  • Attempt unauthorized access to website systems or data.
  • Submit fraudulent or misleading information through our forms.
  • Upload malicious files or unlawful content.
  • Use automated activity that unreasonably disrupts the website or its services.

7. Business and Event Placement Inquiries

Submitting a Host a Machine or event inquiry is only a request for discussion. It does not guarantee approval, machine availability, placement, revenue sharing, exclusivity, or any particular commercial arrangement.

A machine may be placed only under a separate written agreement signed by TCGMRT and the host or event organizer. That agreement, not this website or a submitted form, should address machine ownership, site access, electricity, stocking, maintenance, insurance, payment or revenue terms, damage, and removal. In the event of a conflict, the signed placement agreement governs the relationship between its parties.

8. Contact and Support Submissions

When contacting TCGMRT, please provide accurate information reasonably necessary for us to review your inquiry.

Do not submit full payment card numbers, passwords, or other sensitive payment credentials through our website forms.

10. Website Availability

We may update, modify, suspend, or discontinue website features from time to time.

We do not guarantee uninterrupted access to the website or continuous availability of third-party market feeds.

11. Website Disclaimers

The website and its informational content are provided on an "as available" basis. To the extent permitted by applicable law, TCGMRT does not warrant uninterrupted website availability or the accuracy or completeness of third-party market data, card values, or location information.

These website terms do not override a signed host agreement, change a purchaser's rights under applicable law, or exclude liability that cannot legally be excluded. Product and machine issues should be reported to us so we can review them under the purchase policy below.

12. Applicable Law

Grind Time LLC is registered in North Carolina, United States. These website terms are governed by North Carolina law to the extent that applicable law allows, without limiting any mandatory consumer protections that apply to you.

13. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. Updated Terms will be posted on this page with a revised effective date.

14. Contact

For legal, privacy, and purchase questions, contact Grind Time LLC (TCGMRT) through our Contact page. Select the relevant inquiry type and describe your question in the message.

Online and vending purchases

Purchases, Refunds & Machine Issues.

Online orders are placed with TCGMRT and paid through Stripe Checkout. Standard shipping is $7.99 to the US and the territories offered in our Stripe checkout. Stripe collects your shipping address and shows the final order total before you confirm payment.

For questions about an online order, including cancellation, returns, incorrect or damaged goods, shipping, or a missing order, use the Contact page and include your order reference. We will review the request and respond with available options, including a refund when appropriate or required by law. We do not promise a dispatch or delivery date unless one is separately confirmed.

For purchases at a TCGMRT physical vending machine, except where applicable law requires otherwise, all sales are final and we do not offer change-of-mind returns or exchanges. Cosmetic damage alone is not eligible for a refund under our vending policy unless applicable law requires otherwise.

If you paid but a product did not dispense, contact us with the machine location, date, approximate transaction time, and a description of the issue. We review available machine records and footage to determine whether a refund is due. We also review other machine, payment, or product concerns in accordance with applicable law; these terms do not take away rights that cannot lawfully be waived.

Do not send a full payment card number, password, or other payment credentials through our contact form.

For Business & Event Hosts

A website inquiry is not a machine placement contract. Any approved placement requires a separate written agreement signed by the parties. That agreement—not these public website terms—sets the operational and commercial responsibilities for the machine and host location.
