Terms of Use

Last updated: Aug 19, 2026

These Terms of Use govern your access to and use of https://CustomCardMaker.net (“the Website”), operated by Shinebrothers.

By using the Website, you agree to these Terms.


1. Eligibility

You must be at least 16 years old to create an account or upload content.

By creating an account, you confirm that you meet this requirement.


2. Description of Service

CustomCardMaker.net provides an online tool that allows users to create custom card designs and upload content. Users may optionally order physical products based on their designs.

An account is required to upload and manage content. Browsing and general use of the Website does not require an account.


3. Accounts

One account covers both CustomCardMaker.net and its card makers, PokeCardMaker.net and RiftCardMaker.net. Signing in on either website signs you in to the same account, and deleting it deletes what you made on both.

You are responsible for:

  • Maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials
  • All activity under your account
  • Providing accurate information

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms.

Accounts are not automatically deleted due to inactivity.


4. User-Generated Content

4.1 Responsibility

You are solely responsible for any content you upload, including images, designs, text, and other materials.

You confirm that:

  • You own the content or have permission to use it
  • Your content does not infringe intellectual property rights
  • Your content does not violate applicable laws

Shinebrothers is not responsible for user-uploaded content.


4.2 Visibility

Uploaded content may be:

  • Public (visible to others), or
  • Private (accessible to anyone with the direct link)

Even private content can be viewed by anyone who has the link.

Uploaded content remains stored indefinitely unless deleted by you.


4.3 License to Operate the Service

By uploading content, you grant Shinebrothers a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, store, reproduce, and display the content solely for the purpose of operating the Website.

You retain ownership of your content.


5. Moderation and Removal

We reserve the right to:

  • Remove content
  • Restrict visibility
  • Suspend or terminate accounts

This may occur if content violates these Terms or applicable law.

If you believe content infringes your rights, contact info@pokecardmaker.net. Valid takedown requests will be reviewed and handled appropriately.


6. Intellectual Property

6.1. Disclaimer

CustomCardMaker.net is a fan-made project. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by any third-party intellectual property owner.

Users are responsible for ensuring that their content does not infringe third-party copyrights, trademarks, or other rights.

If a rights holder requests removal of infringing material, it will be reviewed and, where appropriate, removed.


6.2. Content Moderation

User-uploaded content (including images, text, or other media) is stored by CustomCardMaker.net and may be displayed on the Website according to your privacy and visibility settings.

For safety and compliance, this content may also be sent to third-party services for moderation purposes. For example, we use OpenAI’s moderation API to help detect illegal, abusive, or infringing content. These third-party services may store or log the content in accordance with their own policies.

Users remain fully responsible for all content they upload, including ensuring it does not infringe any third-party rights or applicable laws.


7. Print Orders and Intellectual Property Representations

7.1 User Representation at Checkout

When placing an order for physical printed products, you will be asked to confirm that you own the rights to, or have obtained the necessary permission to reproduce, the images included in your order.

By checking that confirmation and completing the checkout process, you represent and warrant that:

  • You are the copyright owner of all images submitted for printing, or
  • You have obtained a valid license or explicit written permission from the copyright owner to reproduce those images in physical form, and
  • Your order does not infringe any third-party intellectual property rights, including copyrights and trademarks.

7.2 Responsibility for Print Content

Shinebrothers acts solely as a fulfilment facilitator. Shinebrothers does not independently verify the intellectual property status of images submitted for printing and accepts no responsibility for any infringement arising from content submitted by users.

7.3 Indemnification for Print Orders

In addition to the general indemnification provided under Section 11, you agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Shinebrothers from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or related to any allegation that the printed content you ordered infringes the intellectual property rights of any third party.


8. Orders and Payments

Physical products may be ordered through the Website.
