Terms and Conditions

Note on legal references: references to "§" refer to German national laws (in particular the German Civil Code [BGB], the Introductory Act to the BGB [EGBGB], the German Digital Services Act [DDG] and the German VAT Act [UStG]), as the provider is based in Germany. The contractual relationship between you and FINALSTICKER is governed by the law of the Federal Republic of Germany. If you are a consumer with your habitual residence in another EU Member State, the mandatory consumer protection provisions of your country of residence remain unaffected. The German version of these terms is authoritative; translations serve only to facilitate understanding.

1. Scope and provider

These General Terms and Conditions (hereinafter "T&C") govern the use of the platform www.finalsticker.com (hereinafter "FINALSTICKER", "platform", "we") by its users (hereinafter "you", "user").

The provider and contracting party for the use of the platform is:

FINALSTICKER, Owner: Chris Hamann
Unter den Eichen 6
49809 Lingen
Germany
Email: info@finalsticker.com

By registering or using the platform, you accept these T&C in their respective valid version. Deviating, conflicting or supplementary terms of a user do not become part of the contract unless we expressly agree to their applicability.

2. What FINALSTICKER is – and what it is not (mere intermediary)

FINALSTICKER is an online platform on which users can digitally manage their collections (stickers and trading cards), record missing and duplicate items, find suitable trade and purchase partners and get in touch with one another.

FINALSTICKER provides exclusively the technical platform and the contact intermediation. Trade and purchase contracts concerning collectibles are concluded exclusively and directly between the users involved. FINALSTICKER does not become a party to these transactions, is neither buyer nor seller, does not act as a dealer, commission agent or trustee, and owes neither the delivery nor the payment of the items traded between users.

FINALSTICKER does not process any payments between trade and purchase partners and never receives buyers' money. Price, payment method, shipping method and all further conditions are agreed by the users freely, directly and on their own responsibility among themselves.

There is no entitlement to the conclusion of a trade or purchase, to a particular number of contacts or to a particular trading success. The platform merely provides the opportunity to make contact.

3. Registration, user account and minimum age

A free user account is required for the full range of functions. When registering and during use, you provide truthful, complete and up-to-date information, in particular regarding your name and address, insofar as this is needed for the handling of trades and purchases.

The offer is aimed at persons aged 16 and over. Persons under 16 may only use the platform with the consent of their legal guardians.

  • You are obliged to keep your access credentials secret and to protect them from access by third parties.
  • As a rule, one account per person is permitted. Creating multiple accounts in order to circumvent blocks or to manipulate (e.g. ratings) is prohibited.
  • The account is not transferable.
  • If you suspect that your account is being misused, please inform us immediately at info@finalsticker.com.

4. Users' obligations and conduct

You undertake to use the platform only within the framework of applicable laws and these T&C. In particular, the following is prohibited:

  • posting unlawful, insulting, discriminatory, harmful-to-minors or misleading content;
  • uploading images or other content to which you do not hold the necessary rights or which infringe the rights of third parties (in particular copyrights and trademark rights);
  • infringing the protected rights of third parties, harassment, spam or unsolicited advertising;
  • the automated extraction of content (scraping), the use of bots, as well as any attempt to disrupt or circumvent the platform or its security mechanisms;
  • any manipulation of the platform, for instance through bogus trade/purchase transactions, sham transactions or falsified or fraudulently obtained ratings.

You undertake to handle agreed trade and purchase transactions fairly and promptly, to rate honestly and to be respectful in your dealings with other users. You are yourself responsible for complying with any tax and trade law obligations of your own (e.g. in the case of extensive selling).

5. Trading and purchasing between users

Trade and purchase transactions typically proceed as follows: one user submits an offer or a request, and the other accepts it or makes a counter-offer. Only after the conclusion are the address details of the respective other person, required for the handling, shown to the parties involved, so that shipping can take place. The parties involved can then confirm shipment, acknowledge receipt and rate one another.

The contracts arising from this exist exclusively between the users involved (see Section 2). Shipping and – in the case of a purchase – payment take place directly between the users. You decide on your own responsibility with whom, over which items and on what conditions you enter into a transaction.

Private or commercial selling – your self-classification

When you activate the selling function, you classify yourself as a private or commercial seller. You make this classification on your own responsibility. Whether a sale is to be classified as private or commercial is governed by the statutory provisions and the circumstances of the individual case; indicators may in particular be planned, repeated conduct or conduct aimed at making a profit – regardless of what you have selected. For contracts between private individuals there is generally no statutory right of withdrawal, and you may exclude the warranty to the extent legally permitted.

As a commercial seller, additional statutory obligations apply to you, which you fulfil independently and completely – in particular the provider identification (legal notice/imprint pursuant to § 5 DDG), the statutory warranty, the consumer right of withdrawal (generally 14 days) with a proper withdrawal notice, correct price information and your tax obligations. FINALSTICKER merely provides you with input options and display areas for this (e.g. for your provider identification and – based on your details – a model withdrawal notice); you alone are responsible for the accuracy, completeness and currency of this information.

FINALSTICKER displays your self-classification and the information you provide to other users, but does not check it and assumes no liability for its accuracy. FINALSTICKER does not become a contracting party in a sale either (Section 2). For an incorrect, omitted or delayed classification, as well as for the breach of the seller obligations applicable to you, you alone are liable; in this respect you indemnify FINALSTICKER, in accordance with Section 18, against justified third-party claims (e.g. warning letters, official measures or claims by buyers or competitors).

If we identify indications of an obviously incorrect classification (e.g. extensive or commercial sales under the label "private"), we may ask you to make a correction, temporarily hide your chosen classification or restrict the selling function until the required information is available.

Tax obligations and statutory disclosure duties

You are responsible for your own tax obligations arising from sales. FINALSTICKER may be legally obliged to transmit certain seller data to the tax authorities or to request additional information for this purpose (e.g. under the German Platform Tax Transparency Act, which applies above certain thresholds). To the extent such an obligation exists, you will provide us with the required information – such as your tax identification number – truthfully and on time upon request. If you fail to do so despite a request, we may restrict the selling function until the information is available. These obligations may exist regardless of your classification as a private or commercial seller.

Order of suggestions (ranking)

So that you can quickly find suitable partners, we sort the suggestions shown to you according to their suitability. The main parameters and their relative importance are:

  • Match between your search and the other person's offer (number of matching items in both directions) – relative importance: very high. This is the most important factor, because the success of a trade or purchase depends largely on the substantive match.
  • Activity of the other person, such as when they were last online – relative importance: high. Experience shows that active users respond more reliably, which increases the probability of success.
  • Seller or premium status – relative importance: supplementary. An active premium service can improve the placement as a seller, but does not change the substantive match of the suggestions.
  • Filters set by you (e.g. country, collection or "last online") – these directly narrow down the results shown.

We do not disclose the precise method of calculation (algorithm) in detail, for reasons of protection against manipulation and deception. Insofar as you use the platform on a commercial basis, the requirements of Regulation (EU) 2019/1150 (P2B Regulation) additionally apply in your favour.

6. No liability for transactions between users – your own responsibility

Since FINALSTICKER does not become a party to trade and purchase transactions between users (Section 2), the following applies:

  • To the extent legally permissible, we provide no warranty as to the identity, the accuracy of the information, the reliability, the solvency or the willingness to perform of other users.
  • We are not liable for non-performance, defective or delayed performance, false information, fraud, payment defaults or the loss or damage of consignments sent by post between users.
  • You check and decide on your own responsibility with whom you do business. We recommend that you take existing ratings and the verification badge into account, that you choose a traceable or insured shipping method (e.g. registered mail) when shipping, and that you exercise particular care in the case of advance payment.

Our optional aids – such as the reporting function for consignments not received, internal notes or the option to issue warnings – are a voluntary service offering intended to promote a trustworthy community. They do not constitute any arbitration procedure and no obligation on the part of FINALSTICKER to mediate disputes between users or to pay damages. Disputes arising from transactions between users are to be resolved by you directly with the respective other person.

To be distinguished from this is unlawful content (e.g. a copyright infringement in an uploaded image or manifestly false information): you can report such content to us at any time, and we follow up on corresponding reports. The procedure for this is governed by Section 13.

7. Ratings

After completed transactions, the parties involved can rate each other. Ratings must be truthful and factual; untrue factual assertions, insults and ratings without a genuine underlying transaction are not permitted.

Ratings reflect the personal assessment of the respective user; FINALSTICKER does not adopt them as its own. We are entitled, but not obliged, to hide or remove manifestly impermissible, unlawful or evidently manipulated ratings.

8. Paid services of FINALSTICKER (Premium, Ad-free, Verification)

Independently of the transactions between users, FINALSTICKER offers its own paid digital services. In this respect, FINALSTICKER is your direct contracting party. Currently offered are:

  • Premium and Premium + (term either 1 month or 1 year): ad-free use, selling functions, storage management, preferred placement as a seller, and – with Premium + – additional functions such as the card market. The specific range of functions is described on the respective product page.
  • Ad-free (term 1 year): ad-free use without the further premium functions.
  • Verification ("GetVerified"): a one-time service to confirm the accuracy of your information (trust badge). Only your name and/or your address are checked – in the case of postal verification, by us sending a confirmation code to the address you have provided, which you then enter. For this purpose, we do not require any identity documents and do not process any official ID data. Which data we process for this purpose and how long we store it is explained in our privacy policy. If you later change your name or address, the verification status may lapse.

No subscription: All paid services have a fixed term and end automatically. There is no automatic renewal, no follow-up costs arise and no cancellation is required. After expiry, you continue to use the platform in the free scope; trading and purchasing remain possible for you.

The respective service is – unless otherwise stated on the product page – provided immediately after successful payment, or its performance is commenced immediately. This is relevant for your right of withdrawal (see Section 10).

9. Prices, payment and invoices

Prices are shown to you before purchase in your respective currency and – where indicated – are inclusive of statutory VAT. The price shown at the time of purchase is decisive.

Payment is made via a carefully selected external payment service provider. We will inform you of the provider used in each case before the conclusion of the payment process and in our privacy policy. We reserve the right to change the payment service provider; your payment data is transmitted to the provider exclusively for the purpose of handling the respective payment.

For each paid service we issue an invoice with a sequential invoice number, which you can access at any time in your account under "Payments & Invoices". The respective fee owed is due for payment immediately upon conclusion of the contract.

We currently use Stripe (Stripe Payments Europe, Ltd., Ireland) as our payment service provider. Details on the processing of your payment data can be found in our Privacy Policy.

10. Right of withdrawal for paid digital services

If you are a consumer (i.e. a natural person who enters into the transaction for predominantly private purposes), you have a statutory right of withdrawal in respect of the paid services referred to in Section 8. This right of withdrawal concerns exclusively FINALSTICKER's own services and not the trade or purchase transactions between users, to which FINALSTICKER is not a party (Section 2).

Please note the possible premature expiry of the right of withdrawal: since our services are generally provided immediately, we ask for your express consent at the time of purchase to the immediate commencement of performance, as well as for your confirmation that you thereby lose your right of withdrawal. If you give this consent, your right of withdrawal expires under the conditions described below.

Withdrawal instructions

Right of withdrawal. You have the right to withdraw from this contract within fourteen days without giving any reason. The withdrawal period is fourteen days from the day of the conclusion of the contract.

To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must inform us (FINALSTICKER, Owner: Chris Hamann, Unter den Eichen 6, 49809 Lingen, Germany, e-mail: info@finalsticker.com) by means of a clear statement (e.g. a letter sent by post or an e-mail) of your decision to withdraw from this contract. You may use the model withdrawal form below for this purpose, although this is not mandatory. To comply with the withdrawal period, it is sufficient that you send the notification of the exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period expires.

Consequences of withdrawal. If you withdraw from this contract, we shall reimburse you all payments that we have received from you, without undue delay and at the latest within fourteen days from the day on which we receive the notification of your withdrawal. For this reimbursement we use the same means of payment that you used in the original transaction, unless something else has been expressly agreed with you; in no case will you be charged any fees on account of this reimbursement. If you have requested that the service begin during the withdrawal period, you must pay us a reasonable amount corresponding to the proportion of the services already provided up to the time of your withdrawal compared with the total scope of the services contractually envisaged.

Premature expiry of the right of withdrawal. In the case of a contract for the provision of services (e.g. verification), your right of withdrawal expires if we have fully performed the service and we only commenced performance after you had given your express consent to this and at the same time confirmed your knowledge that you lose your right of withdrawal upon our full performance of the contract. In the case of a contract for the supply of digital content not delivered on a physical data carrier (e.g. Premium, Premium +, Ad-free as well as the gift voucher code), your right of withdrawal expires if we have commenced performance of the contract after you have expressly consented to us commencing performance before the withdrawal period expires, you have confirmed your knowledge that by giving your consent you lose your right of withdrawal upon commencement of performance, and we have provided you with a confirmation thereof. You give this consent and confirmation at the time of purchase by activating the corresponding checkbox.

11. Gift vouchers

You can purchase a paid service (e.g. Premium) as a gift for another person. After successful payment, we generate a voucher code which we provide to you as the buyer (by e-mail as well as a printable voucher). We deliberately do not collect the e-mail address of the recipient(s); you pass on the code yourself.

  • Gift vouchers can be redeemed for three years from the purchase.
  • A cash payout of the voucher value is excluded.
  • A voucher code can be redeemed once and is not intended for commercial resale.

The right of withdrawal under Section 10 applies accordingly to the gift voucher.

12. Promotional and voucher codes

From time to time, FINALSTICKER may issue free codes (e.g. as part of promotions) with which paid services can be unlocked for a certain period. The conditions stated upon issuance apply (in particular the period of validity and one-time redemption). There is no entitlement to the issuance of such codes; a cash payout is excluded.

13. Users' content, granting of rights and copyright

Insofar as you upload content (e.g. a profile picture or images in connection with a collection request), you warrant that you hold the necessary rights and do not infringe the rights of third parties. You grant FINALSTICKER the non-exclusive right, limited in territory and time to the purpose of operating the platform, to store this content, to edit it technically (e.g. to scale it or add a watermark) and to display it within the platform.

We are entitled to remove unlawful content or content that violates these T&C.

Reporting of unlawful content (notice and action)

If you are of the opinion that content posted on the platform is unlawful or infringes your rights – for instance because you are the author or rights holder of an image used –, you can report this to us at any time, preferably by e-mail to info@finalsticker.com or via the platform's internal reporting functions. So that we can process your report promptly, please state: the content concerned (e.g. link, collection or transaction number), the reason for the complaint, evidence of or grounds for your authorisation, as well as your contact details.

We process incoming reports promptly, carefully, objectively and without arbitrariness. We confirm receipt of the report to the reporting person without undue delay and inform them of our decision as well as of the options for challenging it without undue delay (Art. 16 of Regulation (EU) 2022/2065 – "Digital Services Act"/DSA). We remove or block unlawful content as soon as we obtain knowledge of it (Art. 6 DSA; Sections 8 to 10 DDG).

There is no general obligation to actively monitor the content posted by users or to investigate circumstances indicating unlawful activity (Art. 8 DSA, Section 7(2) DDG).

If we restrict content posted by you (for instance by removal, blocking or downranking), you will receive a clear and specific statement of reasons at the latest at the time of the measure – including the scope and the reasons for the measure as well as the options for challenging it (Art. 17 DSA) –, insofar as your contact details are available to us and no legal reasons preclude this. The procedure is governed in detail by the directly applicable requirements of the DSA; the supervision of digital services in Germany is the responsibility of the Federal Network Agency (Coordinator for Digital Services).

Trademark notice: FINALSTICKER is an independent collectors' platform and has no connection with Panini, Topps, FIFA or other companies mentioned. All trademark and product names are the property of their respective owners and are used exclusively to describe the collectibles.

14. Advertising and affiliate links

FINALSTICKER finances itself among other things through advertising. Advertising may be displayed to users without an ad-free service. In addition, we may embed affiliate links to third-party offers (e.g. to online marketplaces); these are marked as "advertisement". If a contract with a third party is concluded via such a link, that third party alone is your contracting party; FINALSTICKER does not become a party in this respect and is not liable for that party's offers.

15. Availability, maintenance and further development

We endeavour to ensure the highest possible availability of the platform, but do not owe uninterrupted accessibility. In particular, temporary restrictions may occur due to maintenance work, technical disruptions or events beyond our control (force majeure).

We may further develop or adapt the platform and its functions or discontinue individual functions. In the case of paid services, the essential scope of services paid for for the respective term is retained; should it be substantially and permanently restricted for reasons attributable to us, we will reimburse you the pro-rata fee for the period no longer usable or grant reasonable compensation.

16. Term, blocking, termination and account deletion

The free usage relationship runs for an indefinite period. You can mark your account for deletion at any time in the settings; after a period of seven days (within which you can revoke the deletion), we remove or anonymise your personal data. Which data is deleted and which is retained – in anonymised form or for legal reasons – is described in our privacy policy.

In the event of violations of these T&C or applicable law, we may – depending on the severity and taking your legitimate interests into account – issue a warning, restrict functions or temporarily or permanently block or delete your account. In the case of serious or repeated violations, blocking is also possible without a prior warning. The right to extraordinary termination for good cause remains unaffected for both sides.

In the case of a justified block for which you are responsible, there is no entitlement to reimbursement of paid services already used. If your account is permanently blocked through no fault of your own, the following applies to reimbursement: in the case of term-based services (e.g. Premium, Premium + or Ad-free) we reimburse you the fee on a pro-rata basis for the remaining term no longer usable. In the case of one-time services already fully performed (in particular verification), a pro-rata reimbursement is excluded, since the service has already been fully performed; in justified individual cases we will find a goodwill solution.

17. Liability

FINALSTICKER is not liable for damages based on transactions between users, since we are not a party in this respect (Sections 2 and 6). In all other respects, we are liable in accordance with the following provisions:

  • FINALSTICKER is liable without limitation for damages arising from injury to life, body or health, for intent and gross negligence, within the scope of a guarantee assumed, and under the German Product Liability Act.
  • In the case of slight negligence, FINALSTICKER is liable only for the breach of a material contractual obligation (cardinal obligation), the fulfilment of which is what makes the proper performance of the contract possible in the first place and on the observance of which you may regularly rely. In this case, liability is limited to the foreseeable damage typical for the contract.
  • Any liability beyond this is excluded.

For the content posted by users we are responsible only in accordance with Sections 7 to 10 DDG and Regulation (EU) 2022/2065 (DSA); there is no obligation to proactively monitor this content (see Section 13).

Insofar as our liability is excluded or limited, this also applies to the personal liability of our legal representatives, employees and vicarious agents. For the loss of data we are liable only insofar as the loss would also have occurred with regular data backup reasonable for you to carry out.

18. Indemnification

We protect rights holders primarily by promptly removing reported unlawful content (see Section 13). In addition, you indemnify FINALSTICKER against justified claims of third parties which they assert against us on account of an infringement of their rights – for which you are responsible – through content posted by you, or on account of your unlawful use of the platform; this also includes the reasonable costs of a necessary legal defence. The indemnification is limited in amount to the damage caused by your conduct and lapses insofar as you are not responsible for the infringement of rights.

19. Out-of-court dispute resolution

We are in principle neither willing nor obliged to participate in dispute resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration board (Section 36 of the German Act on Alternative Dispute Resolution in Consumer Matters – VSBG).

Note: The former European Commission platform for online dispute resolution (ODR platform) was discontinued as of 20 July 2025 and is no longer available.

20. Final provisions

The law of the Federal Republic of Germany applies, to the exclusion of the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. If you are a consumer with your habitual residence in another EU Member State, the mandatory consumer protection provisions of your country of residence remain unaffected (Art. 6 Rome I Regulation).

Insofar as you are a merchant, a legal entity under public law or a special fund under public law, or have no general place of jurisdiction in Germany, the place of jurisdiction for all disputes arising from the contractual relationship is – to the extent legally permissible – our registered office.

We may amend these T&C with effect for the future insofar as this is necessary for a valid reason (e.g. due to a changed legal situation or supreme court case law, for security reasons, to remedy regulatory gaps, or due to the introduction of new functions or the adaptation of existing ones) and does not unreasonably disadvantage you. We will inform you of such amendments at least six weeks before they take effect in text form (e.g. by e-mail) and will separately point out to you the amendment, your right to object and the significance of your silence. If you do not object by the time the amendment takes effect, your consent is deemed to have been given; if you object, the previous terms continue to apply, and we may terminate the usage relationship as of the time the amendment takes effect. Your right to terminate the usage relationship yourself at any time remains unaffected.

Amendments that concern the balance of performance and consideration or that change a material primary contractual obligation to your disadvantage (in particular the introduction of new fees or a noticeable restriction of services already paid for) are not carried out by way of the deemed-consent mechanism set out above; they require your express consent. If you do not give it, the previous contract remains in place. Paid services already concluded are in any event always provided under the conditions applicable at the time of their purchase.

Should individual provisions of these T&C be or become invalid, the validity of the remaining provisions remains unaffected. The statutory rule replaces an invalid provision.

The German version of these T&C is authoritative. Translations into other languages serve exclusively to facilitate understanding.
