Terms of Service — Oldschool MTG

Effective date: September 2026 · Last updated: September 2026

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of Oldschool MTG and its related services (the "App"), operated by Degenerate Design LLC, a Georgia limited liability company ("we," "us," or "our"). By creating an account or using the App, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the App.

1. Eligibility and accounts

You must be 18 years of age or older to use the App. By accepting these Terms, you confirm that you meet this requirement. People under 18 are not permitted to use the App.

Some features require an account. Account registration uses your email address; we do not require additional profile fields. You must provide accurate account information, protect your sign-in credentials, and notify us promptly if you suspect unauthorized access. You are responsible for your own use of the account and activity you authorize, subject to applicable law.

We may close accounts that do not meet the age requirement. This restriction does not waive our legal obligations toward underage users.

2. The App and AI Judge

Oldschool MTG is an unofficial companion app for Old School Magic: The Gathering formats. Features include a rules reference, card catalog, trade binder, club and event directory, life counter, and AI Judge.

The AI Judge provides automated rules assistance and can produce incorrect or incomplete answers. Its answers are not official rulings and do not replace applicable game rules or decisions by an event's judge or organizer. Confirm important rules questions with those sources before relying on an answer during organized play.

Card information, market prices, club details, and event listings may be incomplete or outdated. Prices are informational estimates, not offers to purchase cards or guarantees of value. Confirm event details with the organizer.

Voice mode requires microphone permission. Location-based directory sorting requires location permission. If you decline or revoke a permission, that feature is unavailable. Third-party AI processing and its permission requirements are described in our Privacy Policy.

3. License and ownership

Subject to these Terms and applicable App Store terms, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the App for your personal use. The App is licensed, not sold. We retain ownership of our software, original design, text, and branding, except for user content and third-party materials.

For the iOS application, the software license is governed by Apple's Standard End User License Agreement (EULA). These Terms govern our related services and subscriptions and do not replace or limit rights under that license or mandatory law.

4. Subscriptions, limits, and billing

The App offers a limited free tier and paid, automatically renewing subscriptions. The available price, currency, billing period, benefits, and applicable offer conditions are displayed before purchase.

Current plans:

Free — 5 Judge questions per week.
Basic — 25 Judge questions per week. US $49.95 per year.
Pro — 50 Judge questions per week, voice mode, and saved question history. US $99.95 per year.

We track your Judge questions to enforce your plan's allowance. Your allowance resets weekly, at the start of each week (Monday). Unused questions do not carry over. Each question you submit and receive an answer for counts toward your allowance, including instant card-lookup answers; a request that is blocked because you are already at your limit does not count.

Payment and renewal

Subscriptions purchased on iOS are billed through the Apple App Store. Charges, renewal timing, and payment authorization follow the terms displayed by Apple when you purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically for successive one-year periods unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the current period ends. Your Apple ID account is charged for renewal within 24 hours before the end of the current period.

Cancellation and refunds

Manage or cancel a subscription through the Apple ID account used to purchase it: Apple subscription management. You can also reach subscription management from the App's account screen, and restore a previous purchase there. Cancellation stops the next renewal; paid access continues until the end of the current paid period. Uninstalling the App does not cancel a subscription.

Refund eligibility is governed by applicable law and Apple's refund rules. For App Store purchases, use Apple's refund process or contact us for help. Nothing in these Terms excludes refunds or other remedies required by law.

Changes to subscriptions

We will give notice of material changes to subscription prices or benefits as required by law and App Store rules, and obtain consent where required. Price changes apply to future billing periods under those rules. We will honor paid commitments or provide the remedy required by applicable law if we cannot deliver them.

5. Acceptable use

You must not:

Use the App for unlawful activity, fraud, harassment, or infringement of another person's rights.
Interfere with the service, bypass question allowances or security controls, or gain unauthorized access to accounts or systems.
Collect other users' personal information without authorization.
Submit content you do not have the right to provide or publish.
Use automated access in a way that disrupts the service or circumvents its limits.
Resell access to the App without permission.
Reverse engineer the App except where applicable law gives you that right.

We may investigate suspected misuse, remove content, or restrict access as described in Section 9.

6. Your content and binders

You retain your rights in the card lists, submissions, images, and other material you provide ("Your Content"). You grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, store, reproduce, format, and display Your Content only as needed to provide the features you use, review submissions, and operate and secure the service. We may permit our service providers to perform these activities on our behalf.

For example, this includes displaying a binder you choose to share and publishing an approved club or event submission. It does not grant an unrestricted right to use Your Content for unrelated purposes or AI training.

You must have permission to submit Your Content and any personal information or images it contains for the intended use. Directory submissions are reviewed, and submission does not guarantee publication.

A shared binder is published at an unguessable link, is not search-indexed, and can be revoked by you at any time in the App. You can delete your binders in the App. Binders persist while you keep them; we do not currently expire them for inactivity. Contact us to request removal of personal information from other submissions.

When content is deleted, this license ends except to the limited extent needed to complete deletion, expire backups under the Privacy Policy, or comply with applicable law. Information already copied by others outside the App may remain outside our control.

7. Trades, clubs, and third-party services

Third-party links, listings, and services are subject to their own terms. Listing a club or event does not mean that we operate or endorse it.

The trade binder only helps you display cards and arrange trades with others directly. We are not a party to any trade, do not process trade payments or provide escrow, and do not authenticate, grade, or guarantee cards or another user's performance. Trades you arrange are solely between you and the other person.

8. Magic: The Gathering materials

Oldschool MTG is not affiliated with, endorsed, or sponsored by Wizards of the Coast. Magic: The Gathering, its card names, trademarks, card artwork, and related materials belong to their respective rights holders. Card data and images are provided through Scryfall. We claim no ownership of these materials, and we provide required attributions within the App.

9. Suspension, termination, and service changes

You may stop using the App at any time and delete your account through the process described in the Privacy Policy. Account deletion and subscription cancellation are separate actions; deleting your account does not cancel an App Store subscription, and you should cancel it in your Apple ID settings.

We may restrict or terminate access where reasonably necessary to address a material violation of these Terms, unlawful conduct, a security threat, or a legal requirement. Where practical and appropriate, we will explain the reason and give an opportunity to resolve the issue. Contact support@degeneratedesign.com if you believe a restriction is a mistake.

We may maintain, update, or discontinue features. We will provide appropriate notice of material changes or discontinuation and honor applicable paid commitments and consumer remedies. Retention and deletion are governed by the Privacy Policy.

10. Warranties and liability

We aim to provide a reliable service, but cannot promise uninterrupted access or that AI answers, card information, prices, and directory listings will always be accurate.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, the App is provided "as is" and "as available," without additional warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, we are not liable for indirect or consequential losses arising from use of the App. Our aggregate liability arising from these Terms is limited to the greater of the fees you paid for the App during the 12 months before the event giving rise to the claim, or US $50.

These exclusions and limits do not apply to fraud, willful misconduct, or any liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited. Nothing in these Terms restricts mandatory consumer guarantees, statutory remedies, or other non-waivable rights.

11. Governing law and disputes

Georgia law governs these Terms, except where mandatory law provides otherwise. Subject to your non-waivable rights, disputes will be heard by the state or federal courts serving Fulton County, Georgia.

If the law where you live gives you mandatory consumer protections or the right to bring a claim in your local courts, these Terms do not take away those rights.

These Terms do not impose mandatory arbitration or a class-action waiver.

12. Changes and general provisions

The effective date identifies when this version takes effect. We will provide appropriate notice of material changes. Where a change requires your agreement, we will request it. Changes will not retroactively remove accrued rights or remedies.

If a provision is unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue to apply to the extent permitted by law. Provisions concerning ownership, accrued payment obligations, liability, and dispute resolution survive termination where their purpose requires it.

13. Privacy and contact

Our Privacy Policy explains our handling of personal information and your choices. Accepting these Terms does not replace any separate consent required for personal-information processing.
