Terms of Service

Last updated: December 15, 2024

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using SkinsCartel ("the Service"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree to these terms, do not use the Service. You must be at least 18 years old or the legal age of majority in your jurisdiction to use this Service.

2. Description of Service

SkinsCartel provides a platform that allows users to sell their CS:GO/CS2 in-game items (skins) for real-world currency. We act as an intermediary, facilitating the transaction between the seller and our purchasing agents. SkinsCartel is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to Valve Corporation or Steam.

3. Account & Steam Authentication

  • You authenticate via Steam OpenID. We do not have access to your Steam password.
  • You are responsible for the security of your Steam account.
  • You must provide a valid Steam Trade URL to receive trade offers.
  • You represent that you are the rightful owner of any items you offer for sale.

4. Trading & Transactions

  • All prices offered are at our discretion and may change based on market conditions.
  • Once you accept an offer and confirm the Steam trade, the transaction is final and cannot be reversed.
  • Payouts are processed via your selected method (BLIK, bank transfer, PayPal, cryptocurrency, Revolut, etc.).
  • Payout times vary by method. "Instant" payouts are typically processed within minutes but may take up to 24 hours in exceptional circumstances.
  • We reserve the right to decline any transaction if we suspect fraud or policy violations.

5. Referral Program

Users who join via a referral link may receive bonus rates on transactions. Referral bonuses are subject to change and may be modified or discontinued at any time. Abuse of the referral system (self-referral, fake accounts) will result in forfeiture of bonuses and potential account suspension.

6. Prohibited Conduct

You agree not to:

  • Sell items that are stolen, fraudulently obtained, or that you do not own.
  • Use the Service for money laundering or any illegal activity.
  • Attempt to manipulate prices or exploit bugs in the platform.
  • Use automated tools, bots, or scrapers on the Service.
  • Harass or abuse our support agents in any communication channel.

7. Limitation of Liability

SkinsCartel is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind. We are not liable for losses resulting from Steam trade holds, Steam API downtime, market price fluctuations, payment processor delays, or unauthorized access to your Steam account. Our total liability shall not exceed the value of the most recent transaction.

8. Intellectual Property

All content on SkinsCartel (logos, design, text, code) is our property or used under license. CS:GO/CS2 item images and names are property of Valve Corporation. You may not reproduce, distribute, or create derivative works from our platform content.

9. Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service at any time for violation of these terms or for any reason at our discretion. Pending payouts will be honored unless the transaction is suspected of fraud.

10. Changes to Terms

We may update these terms at any time. Continued use of the Service after changes constitutes acceptance of the new terms. We will notify users of significant changes via the platform.
