Summary
This summary is here to help you read the terms. It is not a substitute for the full text below.
- BinderPlug helps you discover and coordinate local card trades. The trades themselves happen in person, between you and another trader, outside the app.
- We provide discovery, coordination, report, and feedback tools. We do not guarantee identity, safety, card value, fraud absence, matches, meetups, trades, mediation, compensation, or any specific outcome.
- You are responsible for your trades: checking cards, judging value, choosing where and when to meet, and deciding who you trade with. Parents and guardians are responsible for junior players they help.
- Be honest and respectful. Scams, harassment, and misuse get accounts suspended or banned.
- Deleting your account anonymizes your data; some anonymized trade and feedback records remain so other traders' history stays intact.
- These terms use a version number. If they change in a way that matters, the app will ask you to review and accept the new version.
1. Agreement
These Terms of Service are an agreement between you and Wyrdbit LLC, a California limited liability company, covering your use of the BinderPlug mobile app and the binderplug.app website (together, "BinderPlug").
You accept these terms when you create an account. The registration screen asks you to confirm that you have reviewed and accept the current BinderPlug terms, privacy, and risk notice, identified by a version string. We record the version you accepted and when you accepted it. If you do not agree to these terms, do not create an account or use BinderPlug.
Our Privacy Policy explains what data we handle and is part of the picture; read it together with these terms.
2. Eligibility and accounts
- You must be at least 13 years old to create an account. Junior players younger than that may participate only through an account created, held, and supervised by a parent or legal guardian.
- If a junior player of any age is involved, a parent or guardian should decide whether BinderPlug is appropriate, handle registration and consent where required, and supervise use under the household and local rules that apply. The account holder is responsible for all activity on the account.
- Provide accurate account information and keep your password to yourself. You are responsible for activity that happens through your account. Tell us promptly at [email protected] if you believe your account has been compromised.
- Display names must not impersonate others or contain slurs, harassment, or advertising. Names are checked by an automated filter, and we may require a change or apply one where the filter misses something.
- We may use device integrity checks (Apple App Attest, Google Play Integrity) and other anti-abuse controls to limit automated or duplicate registration.
3. What BinderPlug is — and is not
BinderPlug helps collectors discover possible local card trades by comparing wanted cards with cards people are willing to trade, and provides tools for coordinating a meetup, exchanging structured trade proposals, leaving feedback, and reporting problems.
BinderPlug provides discovery, coordination, report, and feedback tools. It does not guarantee identity, safety, card value, fraud absence, matches, meetups, trades, mediation, compensation, or any specific outcome. In particular:
- We do not verify who other users are.
- We do not inspect, grade, authenticate, or value cards. Card catalog information and any market-price context shown in the app are informational only and may be wrong or out of date.
- Suggested meetup locations are provided for local meetup planning only. They are not endorsed or guaranteed safe locations. Location suggestions are powered by Google.
- Reputation levels, feedback scores, and trust indicators summarize other users' reported experience. They are not a guarantee of anyone's conduct.
- We do not mediate disputes, reimburse losses, or provide compensation.
4. Local trades are your responsibility
Trades arranged through BinderPlug happen in person, outside the app. Card condition, card value decisions, user conduct, and meetup choices remain the responsibility of the traders and any parent or guardian helping them. Use common sense: meet in public places, bring someone with you when it makes sense, inspect cards before trading, and walk away from any trade that feels wrong. You alone decide whether, where, when, and with whom to trade.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, you release Wyrdbit LLC and the Wyrdbit parties defined in Section 14 from claims, demands, and damages of every kind arising out of or connected with disputes between you and other users, including trades, meetups, and anything that happens at them. If you are a California resident, you waive California Civil Code Section 1542, which says: "A general release does not extend to claims that the creditor or releasing party does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release and that, if known by him or her, would have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor or released party."
5. Your content
You keep ownership of the content you add to BinderPlug: your card lists, display name, feedback comments, and reports. You give Wyrdbit a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, store, display, and share that content as needed to operate BinderPlug — for example, showing your Offer Binder to nearby traders, displaying your feedback on a partner's profile, or rendering a Share Binder page for a link you generated. This license ends when the content is deleted, except for the anonymized records described in Section 10.
You are responsible for what you post. Feedback and reports must reflect your honest experience of a real interaction.
6. Acceptable use
Do not:
- scam, defraud, or attempt to defraud other users, including misrepresenting a card's identity, condition, or authenticity;
- harass, threaten, or abuse other users, in the app or at meetups;
- impersonate another person or misrepresent who you are;
- use BinderPlug to sell counterfeit or stolen cards or anything illegal;
- create accounts by automated means, evade a suspension or ban (including by re-registering), or circumvent rate limits, device checks, or other technical protections;
- scrape, harvest, or bulk-collect other users' data;
- probe, disrupt, or overload our systems, or access data that is not yours (report vulnerabilities to [email protected] instead);
- use the app to advertise unrelated products or services;
- leave feedback or file reports in bad faith.
We may investigate violations and take action described in Section 9.
7. Feedback, reports, and moderation
After a trade, you and your partner can leave each other feedback. Feedback affects reputation signals other users see. You can report users for no-shows, item mismatches, harassment, scam attempts, and similar problems; reports go to us, not to other users. We review reports and may act on them, but we do not commit to any particular response, timeline, or outcome, and we do not mediate between traders. Blocking tools, where available, limit contact between accounts inside the app; they cannot control what happens outside it.
8. Intellectual property
BinderPlug, the BinderPlug name and logo, and the app's design and software are the property of Wyrdbit LLC. These terms do not give you any right to use our branding.
BinderPlug is a fan-community tool and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by the publishers of any trading card game. Magic: The Gathering and its card names are trademarks and copyrights of Wizards of the Coast. Pokémon and its card names are trademarks and copyrights of Nintendo, Creatures Inc., and GAME FREAK inc. Card catalog data is provided through public databases (Scryfall; the Pokémon TCG API). All card names, images, and related marks remain the property of their respective owners and are used for identification only.
Open-source software licenses for the components BinderPlug ships with are listed at https://binderplug.app/legal/licenses.
9. Suspension and termination
We may suspend or terminate your account, remove content, cancel pending trades, or restrict features if we reasonably believe you have violated these terms, put other users at risk, or abused our systems — with or without notice, depending on severity. Where practical we will tell you what happened. We may also refuse or revoke access where required by law. You can stop using BinderPlug at any time; if you want your data anonymized, use account deletion (Section 10).
Banned users may not create new accounts. We use limited technical signals to enforce this.
10. Account deletion
You can delete your account in the app (Settings → Delete Account, with password confirmation) or request deletion at https://binderplug.app/account/delete after we verify control of the account email. Deletion anonymizes your personal information and deactivates your account permanently: profile, contact, location, push, avatar, and card list data are anonymized or cleared; sign-in sessions are revoked; Share Binder links are deactivated; in-progress trades are cancelled with a notice to your trade partners. Completed trade records, feedback ratings, and report records are retained in anonymized form ("Deleted User") to keep other users' trade and feedback history accurate and to prevent abuse. Deletion is not reversible. The Privacy Policy describes retention in detail.
11. Fees and future subscriptions
BinderPlug is currently free to use. We may introduce optional paid features or subscriptions in the future. If we do: pricing, billing terms, renewal, and cancellation and refund terms will be presented before you pay and added to these terms through the update process in Section 12; purchases made through the Apple App Store or Google Play will be billed and refunded under that store's rules; and features that are free today may become paid only prospectively — we will not bill you for anything without your explicit enrollment.
12. Changes to BinderPlug and to these terms
BinderPlug is under active development. Features may change, be added, or be removed. These terms carry a version identifier and a changelog. If we change the terms in a way that materially affects you, the app will ask you to review and accept the updated version before continuing to use your account. Continued use after accepting an updated version means the new version applies.

13. Disclaimers
BinderPlug is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the app will be uninterrupted, error-free, or secure, that matches will be found, that meetups will occur, or that any trade will go well. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain warranty disclaimers, so parts of this section may not apply to you.
14. Limitation of liability
These terms are between you and Wyrdbit LLC only. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Wyrdbit LLC and its members, managers, owners, employees, contractors, and agents (together, the "Wyrdbit parties") will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for lost cards, lost value, lost profits, or personal injury or property damage arising from trades or meetups arranged through BinderPlug, even if we have been told such damages are possible. To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Wyrdbit parties' total combined liability for all claims relating to BinderPlug is limited to one hundred U.S. dollars (USD 100) or the amount you have paid us in the past twelve months, whichever is greater. You agree that any claim relating to BinderPlug must be brought against Wyrdbit LLC and not against any member, manager, or employee personally. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain liability limits, so parts of this section may not apply to you.
15. Indemnity
If someone brings a claim against Wyrdbit because of your violation of these terms, your content, or your conduct in a trade or meetup, you agree to indemnify Wyrdbit against the resulting losses, costs, and reasonable legal fees, to the extent permitted by law.
16. Governing law and disputes
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Disputes will be resolved in the state or federal courts located in Orange County, California, and both sides consent to that venue. Before filing any claim, contact [email protected] — most problems can be resolved directly.
17. App store terms
You may also be bound by the terms of the store you installed BinderPlug from. Apple and Google are not parties to these terms and are not responsible for BinderPlug or its content, but Apple (for iOS users) is a third-party beneficiary of these terms and may enforce them against you, and both stores' own rules apply to the extent they conflict with anything here.
18. General
If part of these terms is found unenforceable, the rest still applies. Our not enforcing a provision is not a waiver. You may not transfer your account or these terms to someone else; we may assign these terms as part of a reorganization or sale of Wyrdbit LLC. Sections 3, 4, 5, and 13 through 16 survive account deletion or termination. These terms, together with the Privacy Policy and the registration notice you accepted, are the entire agreement between you and Wyrdbit about BinderPlug. Nothing in these terms creates a partnership, employment, or agency relationship between you and Wyrdbit or between you and any other user.
