Terms of use

Version of 2026-10-23

Last updated: 2026-10-23. The French version is the authoritative one; this translation is provided for convenience.

1. Purpose

These terms of use (Terms) govern access to and use of CodCards. CodCards is a free online collectible card and esports team management game, inspired by the Call of Duty competitive scene (CDL and Challengers), published by the person named in the legal notice. Creating an account implies accepting the Terms and reading the privacy policy.

2. Private beta and invitation-only access

• CodCards is in private beta: sign-up requires an invitation code (or an invitation received from the waiting list).
• Each player has a personal invitation code; sign-ups made with this code are linked to their account. Invitation codes may not be sold or exchanged for anything of value.
• Beta content is confidential: please do not publicly share screenshots or videos without the publisher's consent.
• The service is free. No purchase is offered during the beta.

3. Account

• Sign-up is reserved for people aged 18 or older, which you declare when signing up.
• One account per person. The information you provide must be accurate.
• You log in with a code sent to your email address: you are responsible for access to that address and for the use of your account. Let us know without delay of any unauthorised use.
• The account is personal: it may not be lent, transferred or sold.

4. Virtual currency and items

• CP (the game currency), cards and boosters are game items over which you hold a mere personal, non-exclusive right of use that cannot be transferred outside the game; they give you no ownership right.
• They have no monetary value: they are earned only by playing, cannot be bought with real money and are neither refundable, exchangeable nor convertible into money or real goods.
• CP cannot be transferred directly to another account.
• Boosters contain random items; the odds are shown in the shop.

5. Player market

The market (Auction House) lets players trade cards with each other for CP only, at a free price. Abnormal sales (price far from the reference value, repeated trades between the same accounts) are automatically flagged and may be reviewed. A waiting period may apply before a new account's first sale.

6. Code of conduct

It is forbidden:

• to engage in real-money trading: selling, buying or exchanging for money or any real good or service accounts, cards, CP, boosters, invitation codes or game services, on CodCards or elsewhere;
• to use several accounts, in particular to transfer CP or cards (for example via the market at abnormal prices);
• to cheat, exploit a bug instead of reporting it, automate actions (bots, scripts) or overload the service;
• to try to access other people's accounts or data or non-public parts of the service;
• to choose a username or team name that is insulting, hateful, discriminatory, sexual, misleading, or that impersonates someone (including a professional player);
• to publish, by any means offered by the service, unlawful, harassing or hateful content or content that infringes the rights of others.

7. Chat and moderation

The game offers a global chat, open to all logged-in players. Each message (280 characters at most) is published with your username, your tag and your team emblem, and is visible to everyone. The code of conduct above applies to it: in particular, insults, harassment, hateful or discriminatory remarks, spam, advertising, unlawful or sexual content, and sharing other people's personal information are forbidden. Links are rejected, insults are masked automatically and the number of messages is limited.

You are solely responsible for the messages you post. The publisher does not review messages before they are posted: moderation takes place afterwards. The moderation team may delete any message that breaches these terms and apply the sanctions set out in section 8. Any unlawful message or message that breaches these terms can be reported to [email protected], stating the message, its author and the reason; reports are handled as quickly as possible.

Team names can be reported by players or filtered automatically, and changed by the publisher.

8. Sanctions

In the event of a breach of the Terms, and in proportion to its seriousness, the publisher may: warn the player, change a username or team name, cancel a sale, remove items obtained irregularly, restrict market access, suspend or delete the account. Except in an emergency or for a serious breach (real-money trading, fraud, unlawful content), the player is informed of the reason and may submit their observations to [email protected].

9. Card content and intellectual property

• CodCards is an independent fan project. It is not affiliated with, sponsored or endorsed by Activision, the Call of Duty League, its teams or its players. Call of Duty, Call of Duty League and CDL are trademarks of their respective owners, mentioned for descriptive purposes.
• Cards feature the gamertags of professional players, public statistics about their activity and, where applicable, their portrait (© respective rights holders). The in-game attributes of the cards are calculated by CodCards and are not an assessment of the players.
• Professional players, teams, photographers and other rights holders can ask for content to be changed or removed by writing to [email protected]; these requests are handled as a priority. A card may therefore be changed, anonymised or removed, including from your collection, without compensation.
• The CodCards name, logo, interface, card layout and game engine belong to the publisher; you may not reproduce or exploit them outside normal use of the game.

10. Beta "as is", changes and reset

The game is under development and provided free of charge, as is: features may change, be removed or malfunction. Game data (cards, CP, teams, rankings) may be rebalanced or reset, in particular at the end of the beta, without compensation. The service may be interrupted temporarily (maintenance) or permanently; in the event of permanent closure, the publisher will try to notify players in advance.

11. Donations

Any donations are voluntary and help cover the costs of the service. They give no in-game reward.

12. Liability

The publisher strives to keep the service running properly but, as this is a free beta, does not guarantee continuous availability or the absence of errors. The publisher is not responsible for the actions of other players or for trades made in breach of the Terms. You are responsible for your use of the service. Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits the publisher's liability where the law prohibits it, nor the rights you have by law as a consumer.

13. Account deletion

You can ask for your account to be deleted at any time by writing to [email protected] from the address linked to your account. Game items are then permanently lost.

14. Changes to the Terms

The Terms may change (for example at the end of the beta or when a shop opens). The last update date appears at the top of the page; in case of a significant change, you will be informed and your acceptance may be requested again. If you refuse the new terms, you can delete your account.

15. Governing law, disputes and mediation

The Terms are governed by French law, without depriving you of the protection of the mandatory provisions of the law of your country of residence. If a problem arises, first contact [email protected].

The service is currently entirely free and nothing is offered for sale. If purchases were ever offered to consumers, a consumer mediator would be appointed and their details given here before sales open. In the event of a dispute, you may bring the matter before the competent court.

The Terms are written in French, English and Spanish; in case of discrepancy, the French version prevails.
