It is our policy to protect your Personal Information (as defined below) and to use it in accordance with this Privacy Policy. In this policy, “Site” shall mean www.tcgbarcode.com and “we”, “us”, and “our” shall mean TCGbarcode.

Information We Collect From You

We automatically collect information about your Internet connection, such as:

  • The name of the Internet domain you used to access the Internet;
  • The IP address of the web site from which you linked directly to our Site, and if from an internet search engine, the keywords that were used for that search;
  • The type of browser you are using;
  • The date and time you access our Site; and
  • The pages you visit.

This information (“Non-Personal Information”) does not identify you personally. We use this Non-Personal Information to monitor the effectiveness of the Site, identify areas of interest and consider potential improvements to the Site.

When placing an order, requesting a quote, or in certain other communications with us, we ask you to provide contact information (including name, shipping address, telephone number, and e-mail address) and financial information (such as credit card number, expiration date, and billing address) (collectively “Personal Information”). By providing such information, you consent to our collection and use of it, as described in this Privacy Policy. We do not collect any Personal Information about you when you visit the Site unless you give us that information.

We may occasionally send you promotional offers or product updates. If you do not wish to receive these communications, you may opt out of future e-mails by clicking the unsubscribe link contained in the e-mail.

Please note that your use of the Site and services is subject to our Terms and Conditions of Use.

Sharing Your Information

We do not sell or trade Personal Information to marketing companies or information brokers. We will only disclose your Personal Information in the following circumstances without first obtaining your consent:

  • We may provide Personal Information when requested to do so in certain types of legal or law enforcement proceedings.
  • We may buy or sell business assets or be acquired by or acquire other companies or TCGbarcode institutions. In such transactions, Personal Information generally is one of the transferred business assets. In addition, in the event we merge or consolidate with another institution, your Personal Information may be transferred to the successor TCGbarcode institution.
  • We may use third party suppliers and service providers to facilitate our services, and they may have access to Personal Information. For example, we may outsource one or more aspects of our Site to a supplier or service provider who performs services according to our requirements. In these cases we will restrict through written agreements how these suppliers or service providers may use or disclose the Personal Information to which they have access.

Use of Cookies

The use of cookies enables us to enhance your visits to the Site. Cookies are alphanumeric identifiers that are transferred to your computer’s hard drive through your web browser.

No restock fee on DOA (Dead on Arrival) products.

Ordering
Address Verification/Alternate Shipping Address

Address verification is a precautionary measure we take to ensure your safety and prevent fraud. Phone and online shopping does not allow us to request traditional forms of identification, e.g. a driver’s license, like a standard walk-in retail outlet. Instead we conduct address verification though your credit/debit card issuer to confirm your identity and verify the validity of your purchase, thereby ultimately protecting your credit.

Both your billing and shipping addresses are verified before an order ships. If you would like to ship to an address other than your billing address, it is best to contact your card issuing bank and have your shipping address added as an alternate shipping address to your card. Simply let the card issuer know that you are placing a phone/online order and the retailer needs to verify the address before shipment to eliminate the possibility of fraudulent activity.

Orders with the same billing and shipping address or an alternate shipping address recognized by the card issuer will ship the quickest.

Payment, Pricing & Promotions
Payment can be made using one of the following options. Pricing listed on the TCGbarcode site is believed to be accurate to the best of our ability. Buyer will never be charged more that the price indicated on the TCGbarcode.com site. TCGbarcode may periodically run promotions by email or other on our site. Promotions may not apply to all items and are at the sole discretion of TCGbarcode. A promo code will need to be entered to be eligibile for any promotional discount.
Credit Card–Order securely online or by phone using MasterCard or Visa.
PayPal –Use your PayPal account by selecting the PayPal option at checkout.
 
Purchase Order–All federal, state and local government agencies (including most schools and libraries) are eligible for payment by purchase order. All other businesses may be eligible to order using a purchase order. Please call for eligibility inquiries or to send a purchase order.
