Overview
This website is operated by Collector Atelier. Throughout the site, the terms “we”, “us” and “our” refer to Collector Atelier. By visiting our site or purchasing from us, you engage in our “Service” and agree to be bound by the following terms and conditions. These terms apply to all users, including browsers, vendors, and customers.
Section 1 – Curation Service & Product Availability
We specialize in sourcing and curating unique vintage collectibles, retro gaming gear, and rare entertainment media.
- Inventory Status: Some products are No Physical Stock. We do not hold physical inventory for all items displayed. Our service consists of curating, inspecting, and securing these exceptional pieces from private collectors and professional networks.
- Request to Purchase: Your order constitutes a “Request to Purchase.” Every order is subject to a 48 to 72-hour availability, authenticity, and quality check by our team.
- Order Cancellation: If a collectible item has been sold by the original source or no longer meets our strict preservation standards prior to our pickup, we reserve the right to cancel your order and issue a 100% immediate refund. No further compensation or interest shall be due.
Section 2 – Vintage Condition & Accuracy
- “As-Is” Sales: All items are vintage, antique, or pre-owned. By nature, they possess a historical patina, box wear, aging, or minor imperfections inherent to their era. They are sold strictly “as-is.”
- Descriptions: We strive for maximum accuracy in descriptions and high-resolution photographs. However, we do not warrant that product descriptions or other content are error-free. Colors may vary depending on your monitor settings.
- Authenticity: We provide our professional expert opinion on the condition, release edition, and authenticity of each item based on our research and the information provided by the source.
Section 3 – Pricing & Payment
- Price Fluctuations: Due to the nature of the collectibles market, prices are subject to change without notice. We reserve the right to modify or discontinue the Service at any time.
- Import Duties: For international orders outside the European Union, the buyer is solely responsible for all customs duties, import taxes, and administrative fees applied by the destination country.
Section 4 – Shipping, Handling & Risk
- Third-Party Carriers: We act as an intermediary to organize professional packing and specialized secure transport.
- Transfer of Risk: Once the item is handed over to the carrier, the risk of loss or damage passes to the buyer. All shipments are dispatched via fully insured and trackable methods.
- Delivery Estimates: Shipping times are estimates and may vary based on the item’s location and the required verification steps.
Section 5 – Right of Refusal
We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone for any reason at any time. We may, in our sole discretion, limit or cancel quantities purchased per person, per household, or per order.
Section 6 – Limitation of Liability
Collector Atelier shall not be liable for any injury, loss, claim, or any direct, indirect, incidental, or consequential damages of any kind, including lost profits or replacement costs, arising from your use of the service or any products procured through our curation.
