Terms of Service

Last updated: March 9, 2026

Important Notice

PlayerTradeHub is an independent platform and is not affiliated, associated, authorized, endorsed by, or in any way officially connected with any game developers, publishers, or platform operators. All product names, trademarks, and registered trademarks are the property of their respective owners and are used solely for identification purposes.

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the PlayerTradeHub website located at playertradehub.com and all related services ("the Platform"), operated by PlayerTradeHub ("we", "our", or "us"). By accessing or using the Platform, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Platform.

1. Acceptance of Terms

By registering an account, browsing, purchasing, or selling on PlayerTradeHub, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms, our Privacy Policy, and any additional policies referenced herein. These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement. If you are using the Platform on behalf of a business, you represent that you have authority to bind that entity to these Terms.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years of age (or the age of majority in your jurisdiction, whichever is greater) to use the Platform. By using the Platform, you represent and warrant that you meet this requirement. Residents of jurisdictions where the use of this Platform is prohibited by law are not authorized to use it. We reserve the right to terminate accounts if we have reason to believe a user does not meet eligibility requirements.

3. Account Registration and Security

To access certain features, you must create an account. You agree to:

  • Provide accurate, current, and complete information during registration
  • Maintain and promptly update your account information
  • Keep your login credentials confidential and not share them with any third party
  • Immediately notify us at support@playertradehub.com of any unauthorized access
  • Accept responsibility for all activities conducted under your account

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts at our sole discretion, including for suspected fraud, violations of these Terms, or inactivity.

4. Marketplace Rules

4.1 Permitted Listings

Sellers may list digital gaming assets (game accounts, in-game items, currency) and digital keys (software activation codes, gift cards, subscription codes) that they own and have the legal right to sell.

4.2 Prohibited Items and Activities

The following are strictly prohibited on the Platform:

  • Stolen, compromised, or fraudulently obtained accounts or keys
  • Duplicate or re-used activation keys
  • Items that violate the terms of service of the originating game or platform
  • Counterfeit goods or unauthorized copies
  • Any item whose sale is illegal in the seller's or buyer's jurisdiction
  • Misrepresentation of item condition, region, or content
  • Chargeback fraud, friendly fraud, or payment manipulation
  • Creating multiple accounts to circumvent restrictions or access multiple promotions

4.3 Digital Keys

Digital activation keys purchased through our marketplace (sourced via Kinguin and other licensed distributors) are provided for legitimate personal use only. Keys are region-specific in some cases — it is the buyer's responsibility to verify regional compatibility before purchase. All digital key sales are final and non-refundable once the key has been delivered and/or revealed, except where the key is demonstrably invalid or already redeemed at the time of delivery.

4.4 Seller Obligations

Sellers are responsible for ensuring the accuracy of their listings, fulfilling orders promptly, and maintaining a professional standard of conduct. Sellers must not list items they do not own or have no right to sell.

5. Payments, Fees, and Escrow

5.1 Payment Processing

All payments are processed by Stripe, Inc. and/or NowPayments (for cryptocurrency). By making a payment, you agree to Stripe's Terms of Service. We do not store full payment card numbers. Transaction data is retained for legal compliance, dispute resolution, and fraud prevention purposes.

5.2 Escrow Protection

Funds for peer-to-peer transactions are held in escrow until the buyer confirms receipt and satisfactory delivery. If the buyer does not confirm or raise a dispute within the specified time window, funds may be automatically released to the seller. Escrow protection does not apply to instant-delivery digital key purchases.

5.3 Platform Fees

PlayerTradeHub charges a platform fee on completed transactions. Fees are displayed before you confirm any transaction. Fees are non-refundable once a transaction is completed.

5.4 Discount Codes

Promotional discount codes may be issued at our discretion. Codes are subject to expiry dates, usage limits, and minimum order requirements as specified at the time of issuance. Codes cannot be combined with other promotions unless explicitly stated. We reserve the right to revoke or deactivate codes at any time without notice if misuse is suspected.

5.5 Chargebacks and Fraud

Initiating a payment reversal or chargeback without first attempting resolution through our dispute process constitutes a breach of these Terms and may result in immediate account suspension, recovery of the disputed amount, and referral to collections or legal action. Any account found to be engaging in chargeback fraud will be permanently banned and reported to relevant authorities.

6. Identity Verification (KYC)

In certain circumstances — including but not limited to high-value transactions, suspected fraudulent activity, or requests from our payment processor — we may require you to complete identity verification ("Know Your Customer" or KYC). This may involve submitting a government-issued photo ID and/or additional documentation.

  • KYC is a one-time requirement per account and is triggered at our sole discretion or by our payment processor's fraud prevention systems
  • Failure to complete KYC within a reasonable time may result in your order being placed on hold or your account being restricted
  • Documents submitted for KYC are encrypted, stored securely, and used solely for identity verification — they will not be shared with third parties except as required by law
  • Submitting false, fraudulent, or altered identity documents is a criminal offence and will result in immediate permanent account termination and referral to law enforcement

7. Disputes

If you have a dispute with another user, you must attempt to resolve it through our built-in dispute resolution system before seeking external remedies. We will review disputes and make final decisions at our sole discretion. Decisions made through our dispute process are binding. We are not liable for any losses arising from disputes between users. Opening a chargeback before or during our dispute process is a violation of these Terms.

8. Refund Policy

8.1 Digital Keys

All digital key purchases are final once the key has been delivered. A refund or replacement will only be issued if the key is demonstrably invalid or already redeemed at the time of delivery, verified by our team. No refunds are issued for user error (wrong region, incompatible platform, change of mind).

8.2 Peer-to-Peer Transactions

Refunds for peer-to-peer transactions are handled through our dispute process. Approved refunds are credited to your Platform balance or original payment method at our discretion.

9. Prohibited Conduct

You agree not to:

  • Violate any applicable local, national, or international law or regulation
  • Transmit any unsolicited or unauthorized advertising or promotional material ("spam")
  • Attempt to gain unauthorized access to any part of the Platform or its systems
  • Use automated tools (bots, scrapers) to access or collect data from the Platform
  • Impersonate any person or entity or misrepresent your affiliation
  • Interfere with or disrupt the integrity or performance of the Platform
  • Engage in any conduct that restricts or inhibits anyone's use or enjoyment of the Platform
  • Attempt to reverse-engineer, decompile, or extract source code from the Platform

10. Intellectual Property

All content on the Platform — including text, graphics, logos, icons, images, audio clips, and software — is the property of PlayerTradeHub or its licensors and is protected by applicable intellectual property laws. You are granted a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to access and use the Platform for personal, non-commercial purposes only. You may not reproduce, distribute, modify, create derivative works from, or exploit any Platform content without our express prior written permission.

11. Privacy and Data

Your use of the Platform is subject to our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference. By using the Platform, you consent to the collection and use of your data as described in that policy.

12. Disclaimers

The Platform and all services are provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis without warranties of any kind, either express or implied, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement. We do not warrant that:

  • The Platform will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, or error-free
  • Any results obtained from the use of the Platform will be accurate or reliable
  • Third-party sellers will fulfill orders as described
  • Digital keys will be compatible with your device or region (buyer's responsibility to verify)

13. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, PlayerTradeHub and its officers, directors, employees, agents, and licensors shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages — including loss of profits, data, goodwill, or other intangible losses — arising out of or in connection with:

  • Your use of or inability to use the Platform
  • Any transaction between you and a third-party seller or buyer
  • Unauthorized access to or use of our servers or your personal data
  • Any bugs, viruses, or malicious code transmitted through the Platform

Our total liability to you for any claims arising under these Terms shall not exceed the greater of (a) the total fees paid by you to PlayerTradeHub in the twelve months preceding the claim, or (b) USD $100.

14. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless PlayerTradeHub and its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents, and licensors from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or in any way connected with:

  • Your use of or access to the Platform
  • Your violation of these Terms
  • Your violation of any third-party rights, including intellectual property rights
  • Any fraudulent or unlawful conduct on your part

15. Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Platform at any time, with or without notice, for any reason, including violations of these Terms. Upon termination, all licences granted to you will immediately cease. Provisions of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination (including dispute resolution, limitation of liability, indemnification, and governing law) shall survive.

16. Changes to Terms

We may revise these Terms at any time. We will provide notice of material changes by posting the updated Terms on this page and updating the "Last updated" date. Your continued use of the Platform after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms. We encourage you to review these Terms periodically.

17. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with applicable law, without regard to conflict of law principles. Any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or your use of the Platform that cannot be resolved informally shall be submitted to binding arbitration or the courts of competent jurisdiction. You waive any right to participate in a class-action lawsuit or class-wide arbitration against PlayerTradeHub.
