Terms of Service.
Using this site
1. About this site
kaungyemarn.com is the personal portfolio and TCG collection reference site of Kaung Ye Marn (“I”, “me”). By using this site, you agree to the terms below. If you buy something, the terms agreed in writing for that purchase come first, and these fill the gaps.2. The TCG collection, and buying a card from me
The Pokémon, One Piece, and sports card collection shown on the Collection page is a personal collection, displayed for reference. The Open Vault page lists cards that are available to buy. Every card is entered by hand. There is no card database, price feed, or automatic lookup behind the page, so a card’s details and its value are only as current as the last time I typed them in.Market values reference two sources: Collectr (getcollectr.com) and 130 Point (130point.com), the latter for recently completed transactions. Figures are refreshed twice weekly, on Mondays and Fridays, and some entries are recorded manually from those sources rather than read off them directly. Where the two disagree, what is shown is my own judgement of the two, not an average and not a quote. Values are shown for informational purposes only: they are a periodic snapshot, not a live price, and are not a guarantee of resale value or financial advice. Do not rely on them for buying, pricing, or valuation decisions.
Buying a card is not processed through this website and there is no checkout here. Cards are passed on directly, through the Burmese Jones Card Vault page, by auction, by best offer or at a fixed price. Payment is by KBZPay or Thai bank transfer. Delivery is within Thailand only, by EMS Thaipost at a flat 50–60 THB; delivery outside Thailand, Myanmar included, is paused for now. A card ships only once a transfer is confirmed.
Auctions run in the comments of a post on that page. The starting bid is the lowest price I accept, and there is no hidden reserve. Where the page has posted a comment for a card, a bid on that card counts only as a reply under that comment. Otherwise a bid counts only as a new comment on the post. When a post offers several cards, a bid must give the card’s number as well as the amount. An edited comment never counts, and every bid must beat the previous bid on that card by at least the step stated on the post. An auction closes at the time stated on the post, except that a bid in the last minute, on any card in the post, moves the close five minutes later for every card, as many times as that happens. The highest bidder wins. I never bid on my own auctions, and no one bids for me.
Best offer takes offers by message to the page or as a comment on the post, until the time stated on the post. An edited or deleted comment does not count as an offer. Where a post states a minimum offer for a card, an offer below it does not count; where it states none, any offer counts. I choose which offer to accept, and it need not be the highest. I may accept an offer before the stated time, or decline every offer and keep the card. An accepted offer is final.
Fixed price cards go at the price shown, to the first buyer I confirm by message. A card is not reserved until I confirm it, and I may decline a request. If the payment is not made within 24 hours of my confirmation, the card is offered to the next buyer.
Payment is due within 24 hours of an auction closing, an offer being accepted or a fixed-price purchase being confirmed. Prices are in Thai baht, and a KBZPay payment converts at the rate I give before you pay. A winning bidder who cannot be contacted or does not pay within the 24 hours loses the card and is barred from future purchases, and the card goes to the second-highest bidder at that bidder’s own bid, with the same 24 hours to pay.
Every card I send you is genuine, official product. If a card you bought from me is shown to be counterfeit, I refund what you paid for it in full. To claim, tell me within 48 hours of the card arriving. Proof, which can follow later, is either a written opinion from PSA, BGS, CGC, or Beckett, or the card returned to me so I can examine it myself. The card must come back in the condition it was sent, and a graded card must come back in an intact slab. On a confirmed counterfeit I cover return postage and refund the card price and the original delivery charge; where the card is genuine, return postage is yours.
Condition is guaranteed as photographed; a grade is not. The listing photographs are the record of a card’s condition, flaws included, and I stand behind them. What a grading company would award that card is its decision, not mine: no grade is promised, and a grading result that disappoints is not a defect and not grounds for a refund. Nothing in this section is a promise about a card’s future value, and section 15 caps liability at what you paid.
Buying the work
3. What the Products page is
The Products page sells two different things. Packages are work I do for you: four content disciplines, each in three tiers, plus a bundle of all four. Systems are licensed products your own team runs: six installable workflows, each in the same three tiers. Prices are shown in USD, and this release is delivered in English only.Those prices are indicative of scope, not an offer capable of acceptance: no contract exists until a written quote is agreed by both of us. Adding packages to an inquiry selects nothing and charges nothing, and the site has no checkout.
Each engagement is governed by the quote agreed for it. Where that quote is silent, sections 4 to 9 govern packages and sections 10 to 12 govern systems. Where a system tier includes work done alongside your team (the configuration filled in together, a workflow run, an install, the check-in at fourteen days, the review at ninety), that part is a service, and sections 4 to 9 apply to it as well.
The quote becomes a signed order form. For packages, and the service parts of a system tier, it is read with a master service agreement that sets the fuller terms: scope and change control, acceptance, payment and tax, intellectual property, warranties, confidentiality, indemnities, the limit of liability and how disputes are settled. Where I handle personal data on your behalf, a data processing agreement is attached as well (section 20). Section 22 says which document wins if they differ.
4. Scope, revisions, and what a round means
Every tier states a number of revision rounds. A round is one consolidated set of changes returned on a deliverable. Feedback sent piecemeal across several messages is treated as a single round if it arrives before work restarts, and as a further round once it does. A round is used when I begin acting on it, not when it is sent.Revisions cover changes within the scope already agreed: rewriting, restructuring, tightening, correcting. They are not a route to new deliverables. A change of direction after work has begun, added pages, added languages, added channels, or a rewrite against a brief materially different from the one agreed is new scope, quoted separately before it starts. Where a tier lists a proof pass, that is a final check for accuracy and consistency, not an additional revision round.
Rounds not used are not refundable and do not carry over to another engagement.
5. Payment, discounts, and currency
Invoices are issued once scope is agreed. A deposit is due before work begins, with the balance due on delivery; the exact split is stated on the invoice. Work does not begin before the deposit clears, and final files are handed over once the balance is settled.Every discount described on the Products page (a natural pair, three packages at one tier, two or more systems at one tier) is applied by hand when the invoice is prepared. None of it is calculated on the page, and prices shown there are always before discount. Mixed-tier combinations of individual packages are quoted individually, and the full bundle is never sold as a mix of tiers.
Prices are shown in USD. Payment in MMK is possible, at a rate confirmed on the invoice date; Myanmar’s official and market rates can differ significantly, so no rate is quoted in advance. Bank charges and transfer fees are paid by the sender.
6. Timelines and cancellation
Dates agreed in a quote assume feedback arrives within the times agreed with it. Where it does not, delivery dates move by at least the delay.Either of us may end an engagement in writing. Work completed to that point is payable, and the deposit covers it up to its value; anything beyond is invoiced. Deposits are not refundable once work has started, because the deposit reserves the time.
7. Who owns the delivered work
On full payment, you own the deliverables produced for you: the copy, the pages, the briefs, the reports, the rule files written for your business. Ownership transfers on payment, not on delivery. Until the invoice is settled the files are licensed to you for review only.What does not transfer is the method: my templates, checklists, frameworks, and the underlying way I structure this work stay mine, and I go on using them for other clients. You are buying the output built with them, not exclusivity over them.
Unless you ask me in writing not to, I may name the engagement and show excerpts of the work in my portfolio once it is public. Anything you mark confidential stays out of it.
8. What you are responsible for
You warrant that any material you give me (text, images, data, product claims) is yours to use and is accurate. I write to the brief and the facts supplied; I do not independently verify claims about your business, and I am not responsible for regulatory approval of what gets published.Final publication is your decision. Once files are handed over and approved, what happens on your channels is yours.
9. Confidentiality
Anything you share that is not public (strategy, figures, unreleased plans, access credentials) stays confidential, and I use it only to do the work. This holds after the engagement ends. It does not cover information that was already public, that you later make public, or that I am legally required to disclose.If you need a signed NDA on your own paper, send it before work starts rather than after.
Licensed products
10. Systems and other licensed software
Some work is sold as a product rather than a service: a packaged system, meaning the workflows, the gates, the templates, the reference material, and one configuration file you fill in with your own tools, properties and approvers, that you install once and your team then runs without me. This section governs those. Nothing here changes sections 3 to 9, which continue to govern service engagements, including any part of a system tier that is delivered as work done with you.Each system is sold under a written licence supplied with it. Where that licence is silent, the following applies.
Each system is delivered complete and runs on its own. It ships with the shared core it loads and every file its workflows name. Buying one never requires buying another. Where two are described as working well together, that is an option and a discount, not a dependency.
Some systems are published openly and cost nothing. A free item ships with its own licence file recording the fee as nil, and these terms still apply to it. It carries no support commitment and may be changed or withdrawn at any time, taking one is not a trial of anything else, and it obliges you to nothing: no email, no registration, and no obligation to talk to me.
For a free item the licence attaches when you download or use it, not when you ask for it. There is no invoice and no request to hang it on, so section 11 reads “the company named on the invoice” as the company downloading or using the item, and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. If that is one person working alone, it is that person. Nothing else in sections 11 and 12 changes: the licence is perpetual for the version you took, nothing renews, nothing can be switched off, and you may not resell it, publish it, or build a competing product from it.
11. What the licence grants
The licence is granted to the company named on the invoice, and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Not to a person, a team, or a seat. Within that company, any number of employees and contracted staff may use the system for that company’s own work.It is perpetual for the version you bought. There is nothing to renew, nothing expires, and nothing can be switched off. If a later version is released, it is a separate purchase; you are never required to take it, and not taking it costs you nothing you already have.
You may modify your copy for internal use. You may not redistribute, resell, sublicense, publish, or share it outside your company, and you may not use it as the basis of a competing product. The files are plain text and trivially copyable, which is exactly why this is written down rather than assumed.
12. Support, updates, and the age of a system
What help you get is what your tier names, and the quote fixes it. The lowest tier is self-installed. The higher ones add the configuration filled in together, a workflow run alongside your team, packaged skill files, a full install, a check-in at fourteen days, and a review at ninety. Beyond what your tier names there is no support commitment, no service level, and no obligation to release updates. Tuning a system against your own content, or debugging your team’s prompts, is consulting work and is quoted separately.Every system states the date it was current as of. This matters: a system is a snapshot of good practice on the day it shipped, and the ground moves . Search behaviour, answer engines, and platform rules all change. A system bought two years ago and never replaced will reflect two-year-old practice, and that is a consequence of the licence being perpetual rather than a defect in it.
The licence ends only if it is breached. If it ends, you stop using the system and delete your copies; sections 13 to 16 survive.
Everything else
13. Site content and card artwork
Articles, case studies, and original copy on this site are mine unless stated otherwise, and shouldn’t be republished without permission. Card artwork and images belong to their respective publishers (The Pokémon Company, Bandai, and the relevant sports card brands); they’re shown here for personal collection cataloguing and identification, not to claim ownership or imply any affiliation with those companies.14. No warranty
This site and its content are provided as is, without warranties of any kind, including accuracy, completeness, or fitness for a particular purpose. This does not affect the authenticity guarantee in section 2, which is an express guarantee on a card you bought from me and stands on its own terms. Licensed systems are provided on the same basis: they are instructions for a language model, and no output produced by one is guaranteed to be accurate, and all of it should be reviewed by a person before it is published or acted on.No result is promised from paid work either. Search rankings, traffic, impressions, citations or mentions in AI answers, email open and click rates, conversion, leads and revenue depend on search engines, answer engines, platforms and audiences that I do not control and that change their rules without notice. I work to the agreed scope and to good practice, and I do not warrant any of those outcomes.
15. Limitation of liability
I am not liable for indirect or consequential loss, lost profit, or lost data arising from your use of this site, the work, or a licensed system, including decisions made on the market-value data shown here or on output a system produced. Where liability cannot be excluded, it is capped at the amount you actually paid for the engagement or system concerned. Nothing here limits liability for fraud or anything else that cannot lawfully be limited.16. External links, and where free items are hosted
Links to client sites, social profiles, and third-party sources are provided for reference. I don’t control and am not responsible for the content of those sites.Free items are listed on the resources page, openly and without a signup. The Four-Beat Checker and the Search Visibility Audit are published on GitHub, and the TCG Inventory & Sales Tracker is a spreadsheet in a public Google Drive folder. Downloading one puts you on GitHub’s or Google’s infrastructure under their own terms and privacy policies, not mine, and I do not collect your identity, your email, or any record of the download. The licence in section 10 attaches on use to a free system regardless of how you obtained the files. The tracker carries its own licence on its cover sheet and on its page: free to use for your own collection or card business, not for resale.
Some free tools run on this website, in your browser. Nothing you type into them is sent to me or stored. Their results come only from what you give them, are not advice, and are not a guarantee.
A repository or a folder may be archived, renamed, or taken down. That does not affect a copy you have already downloaded, which stays licensed to you under the licence it came with.
17. Changes to these terms
These terms may be updated as the site evolves. Continued use of the site after a change means you accept the updated terms. Work already agreed is governed by the terms in force when it was agreed, not by a later version of this page.18. Acceptable use of this site
You may browse, read and share links to this site. You may not attack it or probe it for weaknesses without my written permission, send automated traffic that burdens it, scrape it in a way that ignores its robots instructions or rate limits, use it to send spam, try to reach the admin area, or present my work, card images or identity as your own. If you find a security problem, tell me and give me reasonable time to fix it before you say anything in public. I may block access to anyone who breaks this section.19. Security
I keep the work and the accounts it runs through safe with measures proportionate to a one-person practice: unique logins and a password manager, multi-factor authentication where a platform offers it, encrypted devices, access limited to what the work needs, and secrets kept out of documents and source files. I also rely on platforms such as Vercel, Supabase, Cloudinary and Resend, which publish their own security practices. That is a duty of reasonable care, not a guarantee that no incident can happen. If an incident affects your data, I tell you without undue delay, as the data processing agreement sets out where one applies.20. Personal data
The privacy policy covers what this site collects from visitors, people who send an inquiry and people who buy a card. It does not cover the personal data of your customers or subscribers that I handle while doing your work. For that, you are the controller and I am the processor, and a data processing agreement, attached to your order form, sets out what I may do with it, which service providers I use, how fast I tell you about an incident, where data may be sent, and how it is returned or deleted when we finish. I do not use your personal data to train an AI model and I do not enter it into an AI tool unless the order form names the tool and the data. If your business is subject to the Thai or Singapore personal data acts, or to the GDPR in the EU or the UK, say so before the order form is signed so the agreement names the right transfer terms.21. Insurance
I do not state anywhere on this site that I hold insurance. If you want to know whether I hold cyber liability, professional indemnity or media liability cover, ask before you sign and I will answer in writing. No cover is represented unless your order form states it. If you need cover I do not hold, or a larger limit, that is a change to the order form, quoted before it is signed.22. Refunds, and which document wins
The refund policy sets out when a deposit, a fee or a card price is refunded and when it is not. It is part of every engagement.If two documents conflict, the earlier one in this list wins: the signed order form; the master service agreement (or, for a licensed system, the licence); the data processing agreement, which wins on anything about personal data; the refund policy; then these terms, each as published at the date of the order form.
23. General
No governing law or court is named here, on purpose. This page creates no engagement. Each engagement states its own governing law and forum on its order form, agreed with you before you sign. A right you have under consumer law where you live that cannot be excluded still applies to you.If something outside my reasonable control stops me performing, such as a disaster, outage, government action, sanctions or the failure of a platform I depend on, I am not in breach for the delay and I will tell you promptly. Payment obligations are not suspended by this. If part of these terms cannot be enforced, the rest continues. Not enforcing a right straight away does not give it up. You may not transfer your rights under an engagement without my written consent. These terms and the documents in section 22 are the whole agreement for an engagement, and a statement made elsewhere is not a term. They are in English, and the English version prevails over any translation. A notice to me goes to the email address in section 24, and a notice to you goes to the address on your order form or inquiry.
