Terms of Service
Last updated: June 10, 2026
These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the services provided by DSRV USA Inc., operating as "Bind" ("Bind", "we", "us"), a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Delaware, including our website, vault storage, and storage receipts (collectively, the "Service"). By using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.
1. What Bind is
Bind is a storage (custody) service for physical, professionally graded (e.g., PSA) trading cards held at a secure facility in the United States. When a card is placed into the vault, we issue a digital storage receipt recorded on the Polygon blockchain. The storage receipt evidences the right of its holder to withdraw the corresponding physical card from the vault. Bind is not a securities exchange, broker-dealer, investment platform, or money transmitter.
2. Storage receipts
- A storage receipt is a paperless proof of the right to withdraw a specific, identified physical card that we hold in custody for you — in the nature of a storage/warehouse receipt or document of title. It is not a security, investment contract, share, note, or other financial instrument.
- A storage receipt does not represent any equity, debt, profit interest, pooled or fractional investment, or claim against Bind or any third party, and confers no right to, or expectation of, profit derived from the efforts of Bind or others — only the right to withdraw the one specific card it references.
- The holder of a storage receipt is treated as the party entitled to withdraw the referenced card. Receipts may be transferable; if you transfer a receipt, you transfer the associated withdrawal right.
- You are responsible for your own blockchain wallet and keys. Blockchain transactions are irreversible. Bind cannot recover lost keys, reverse transfers, or restore access to a receipt held in a wallet you do not control.
- Transfers you make outside the Service (including on third-party marketplaces) are solely your responsibility and at your own risk.
3. Buying cards
Cards offered through the Store may be purchased; upon completed payment, you receive the storage receipt for that card and the card remains in the vault. Prices, availability, fees, and card details may change at any time. All sales are subject to verification and may be cancelled and refunded if a card becomes unavailable or an error occurs.
4. Withdrawal of physical cards
The current holder of a storage receipt may request withdrawal of the physical card. Withdrawal is subject to: (a) a handling and shipping fee; (b) identity verification (KYC); and (c) surrender of the storage receipt. Shipping is arranged at the holder's cost, and risk of loss passes upon hand-off to the carrier.
5. Identity verification & fraud prevention
To protect against fraud and unauthorized withdrawals, you agree that:
- We may require identity verification (KYC), proof of control of the wallet holding the receipt, and additional documentation before releasing any physical card, and we may decline or delay a withdrawal where verification is incomplete.
- We may place a hold on, delay, or refuse a withdrawal or transfer if we reasonably suspect fraud, unauthorized access to a wallet, theft, a competing or disputed claim, sanctions or legal restrictions, or other risk.
- If a receipt is reported lost, stolen, or compromised, or is subject to a dispute or legal process, we may freeze the associated withdrawal until the matter is resolved to our reasonable satisfaction.
- You are solely responsible for securing your wallet and keys. Blockchain transfers are irreversible; absent notice of a problem, we may treat the current on-chain holder of a receipt as the party authorized to withdraw.
- We may cooperate with law enforcement and comply with applicable anti-money-laundering, sanctions, and reporting obligations.
6. Storage, care, and risk
We store cards with commercially reasonable care at a secure facility. Bind does not provide insurance covering your cards; any insurance Bind carries is for its own account, and you are responsible for arranging your own insurance if you wish. Except to the extent caused by Bind's gross negligence or willful misconduct, or as otherwise required by applicable law, you are responsible for the risk of loss, theft, damage, deterioration, and changes in the market value of stored cards.
7. Authentication and grading
Cards are described using third-party grading (e.g., PSA). Bind is not affiliated with PSA or any grading service and does not guarantee the accuracy of any grade, label, or certification. You are responsible for evaluating a card before acquiring or storing it.
8. Eligibility and your responsibilities
- You must be at least 18 years old and able to enter a binding contract.
- You represent that any card you deposit is lawfully owned by you, authentic, and not stolen, counterfeit, or subject to any lien or dispute.
- You will comply with all applicable laws, including export, sanctions, and anti-money-laundering requirements, and you are not located in, or a resident of, any embargoed jurisdiction.
9. Fees
Fees (including purchase prices and withdrawal/handling/shipping fees) are presented at the relevant time and may change. You are responsible for any taxes arising from your transactions.
10. Prohibited use
You may not use the Service for fraud, money laundering, trafficking in stolen or counterfeit goods, or any unlawful purpose, or to interfere with the Service's operation or security.
11. Disclaimers
THE SERVICE 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 uninterrupted or error-free operation, or any particular resale value of any card.
12. Limitation of liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, BIND WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR LOST PROFITS. Bind's total aggregate liability arising out of or relating to the Service is limited to the greater of (a) the fees you paid to Bind in the 12 months before the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) the documented fair market value of the specific affected card at the time of loss, where such loss results from Bind's gross negligence or willful misconduct. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so some of the above may not apply to you.
13. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold Bind harmless from claims and expenses arising out of your breach of these Terms, your cards, or your use of the Service.
14. Changes
We may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be posted here with an updated date. Continued use of the Service after changes constitutes acceptance.
15. Governing law and disputes
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute will be resolved in the state or federal courts located in Delaware, unless otherwise required by applicable law.
