AFTER DARK Rules and Terms

The offer at a glance

AFTER DARK costs A$75 per pack. Choose 1 to 5 packs per checkout. Each fully paid opening assigns one physical collectible or one clearly described bundle, held for you in PWA ARCHIVE.

AFTER DARK has the same published tier odds as the GEM PACKS offer current on 28 October 2026. It includes shared slab and sealed rewards plus raw, ungraded cards available only in AFTER DARK. A raw card, vintage card or particular chase is not guaranteed.

Eligible stored items can be kept in PWA ARCHIVE, included in a delivery request, or voluntarily sold back for 75% of their value recorded at opening as store credit. Australian delivery is A$15 for one combined shipment of up to 10 eligible stored items from either bag.

1. Operator, scope and account

AFTER DARK is operated by Ugur Erdem, sole trader trading as PWATCG, ABN 41 383 885 296, in Victoria, Australia. In these terms, PWA, we, us and our mean that operator. Contact support@pwatcg.com or the website contact page for help with purchases, delivery or complaints.

These terms cover AFTER DARK and its associated PWA ARCHIVE, delivery and buyback services. Grading submissions and ordinary shop purchases have their own terms. These terms apply to new AFTER DARK purchases once this edition is available and this version is displayed and accepted before payment. Existing purchases and credit keep their previously accepted terms. Publishing these terms does not itself make checkout or opening available.

You must be at least 18 and legally able to enter into the purchase to buy or open AFTER DARK or use buyback. Sign in to your own customer account and keep your contact details accurate and your account secure. We may reasonably request age or identity checks or restrict activity where the requirements are not met. This does not automatically forfeit legitimate stored items, credit or consumer rights.

Availability is limited to locations we support and where the service may lawfully be offered. A destination appearing in a shipping selector does not establish that every pack feature is available there. We remain responsible for our legal obligations.

2. Price, payment and recovery

The price is A$75 per AFTER DARK pack, in Australian dollars and including any GST payable by us. Quantities 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 cost A$75, A$150, A$225, A$300 and A$375 respectively, before separate delivery charges. Checkout shows the final total, available payment methods and any eligible signed-in account credit before payment.

One fully paid pack provides one opening. Payment must be captured and independently confirmed before opening. A pending authorisation, screenshot or order page alone is not confirmation. Credit must be used through the same signed-in customer account, with any remaining payment shown before you pay.

If payment or the connection is uncertain, check FIND MY PURCHASES and recover the original purchase before paying again. Refreshing, retrying or replaying the same paid opening must not charge you again or create another result. If an accepted purchase cannot be supplied, we will contact you and provide an appropriate remedy, including a refund where required.

3. Tier odds, recorded values and selection

The tier odds per opening and recorded item-value bands for this version are:

Basic: 75.15%; A$25 to A$60. Prime: 20%; A$60.01 to A$110. GEM: 4%; A$110.01 to A$350.99. Ultimate: 0.85%; A$351 or more.

These are tier chances, not the chance of a particular card or of receiving a raw card. They do not guarantee a tier or chase after any number of purchases. A Basic result may be worth less than the A$75 pack price. Purchasing a pack is not a promise of profit, a cash return or a particular resale price.

The selection method first chooses a tier using these odds, then selects equally among eligible reward entries within that tier. An individually identified slab or raw card is one entry. A described bundle or sealed-set listing is one entry even if several units remain. Winning consumes one available unit. Multiple physically identified raw copies are separate entries. Item-specific chances depend on the eligible entries at the time of opening, not simply on the total number of cards or sealed packs.

Shared slabs and sealed rewards use the same physical inventory as GEM PACKS. An allocation to either edition removes that physical unit from availability to the other. Raw cards assigned to AFTER DARK are excluded from regular GEM PACKS. Verified buyback returns restore the correct raw copy only to AFTER DARK, or the correct shared unit to the shared pool. An unresolved original-payment or ownership issue can require a stock hold.

Eligible inventory changes as items are allocated, verified stock is added, or a completed buyback returns an item. A specific chase is available only while its stock remains eligible. We pause new purchases and openings if an advertised tier cannot support the offer; we do not silently redistribute that tier's odds. Later pool changes must not change an already saved result, recorded value or ownership.

4. What is assigned and how condition is described

Each opening assigns one physical collectible or one clearly described bundle. A bundle can include several sealed packs. A slab, a raw card and sealed packs are not all included together in every opening. Read the assigned item or bundle description for its contents.

Raw cards are ungraded. Near Mint, Lightly Played or another stated condition is a description of the actual copy, not a grading-company score or a promise that the card will achieve a particular grade. The relevant card identity, condition notes and photographs provided must accurately represent the available physical copy and disclose material wear, defects or other condition issues. Back photographs are optional.

Graded items are identified by card, relevant language or edition, grading company, grade and individual stock identity. Once a specific physical item is assigned, it must not be silently replaced by a different copy. Disclosed cosmetic wear to a pre-owned holder or sealed-product packaging does not excuse undisclosed damage, tampering, incorrect identity or a materially misleading description.

The saved opening record identifies your item and its recorded value. The reveal animation presents that saved result; skipping or replaying it is not another draw. Contact support with your purchase reference if an image, description or animation appears inconsistent. Artwork and example chases are not a guarantee of a particular result.

5. PWA ARCHIVE and ownership

After a valid opening assigns an item to you, PWA holds that physical item on your behalf until it is delivered or you complete an eligible buyback. Storage does not permit PWA to allocate your item to another customer. A stored record does not mean that an item has been shipped.

There is no storage charge at launch. We take reasonable care of stored items; these terms do not promise a particular insurance policy or coverage amount. Any future storage charge or holding limit requires reasonable advance notice and an opportunity to arrange delivery before it applies. We will not impose retrospective storage fees or automatically confiscate an item because of inactivity.

AFTER DARK and GEM PACKS items appear in the same PWA ARCHIVE and can be selected together for eligible postage. This pack service is postage-only; shop collection is not offered for these stored pack results.

6. Optional 75% store-credit buyback

When buyback is enabled, an eligible item that you still own and that remains stored with PWA may be voluntarily exchanged for store credit equal to 75% of its value recorded at opening. This uses the assigned item value, not the pack price. Each item's amount is rounded to the nearest cent, with a half-cent rounded up, before amounts are combined. A recorded A$25 item offers A$18.75; an A$100 item offers A$75. The exact offer appears before you confirm.

The recorded value is PWA's dated catalogue or expressly assigned store valuation. It is not an independent appraisal, a guarantee of market value or a promise that another buyer will pay that amount. Market prices can change, but the saved value and buyback calculation for a completed opening remain fixed.

There is no countdown or separate buyback time limit at launch. Items already sold back, dispatched, reserved for delivery or subject to an unresolved payment or ownership review are not eligible for another buyback. The correct original physical copy must remain in PWA custody.

Confirming BUYBACK is your instruction to exchange that item for the displayed store credit. Standard eligible buybacks are processed automatically without a separate merchant acceptance step. On confirmed settlement, the item returns to PWA and credit is assigned to the same customer account. A completed voluntary exchange cannot ordinarily be undone solely for a change of mind; errors and mandatory consumer remedies remain reviewable.

If a request is pending, check the original request or contact support. Credit is not confirmed until settlement is verified. Retrying must not issue a second credit or restore the same stock twice. If credit is confirmed but the physical stock return requires checking, the item remains held while that return is resolved.

7. Use of buyback credit

Buyback credit is non-expiring store credit for GEM PACKS purchases only. It is not cash and cannot be withdrawn to a bank account. This retains the GEM PACKS purchase-only credit restriction; it does not extend credit to grading services, ordinary shop goods or delivery fees. Previously issued credit and existing purchases keep their accepted terms.

Use eligible credit through checkout while signed in to the same customer account. The available balance and any remaining amount payable are displayed before payment. Credit cannot be transferred to another person or account through this service. There is no inactivity fee.

Contact support before closing an account that has stored items or credit. Restriction or closure does not itself authorise forfeiture of legitimate property or credit. Any correction for fraud, duplicate issuance or verified transaction error must be based on the relevant records and preserve mandatory rights. Buyback is separate from a refund and does not remove a refund right required by law.

8. Combined delivery

When delivery is enabled, select up to 10 eligible stored items from GEM PACKS, AFTER DARK or both for one shipment request. Australian delivery costs A$15 per combined shipment, not per item or pack. Separate requests are charged separately, even on the same day. These rates do not replace ordinary shop shipping rates.

Standard international delivery is A$39.90 per shipment to New Zealand, Canada, the United Kingdom, the United States, Belgium and South Africa. Other supported destinations require an individual quote. The supported destination, service and exact charge must be confirmed before payment.

Review your selected items, complete address, service and exact fee before paying. A quote expires 24 hours after it is requested. A quote request takes no payment and does not reserve stock. Availability is checked again when delivery checkout starts, when items are reserved against conflicting shipping or buyback requests. Postage must be paid and confirmed before packing or dispatch.

We aim to dispatch within 3 business days after postage payment is confirmed and address, stock and necessary shipping checks are complete. Business days exclude weekends and Victorian public holidays. Carrier transit times are additional estimates. If a delay arises, we will contact you with an updated estimate and discuss an appropriate solution.

International duties, local taxes and customs or clearance charges are excluded unless expressly included in the quote. These may be collected by the destination authority or carrier. We use accurate customs descriptions and values and do not mark purchases as gifts to avoid charges.

Check your address carefully and contact support promptly about changes before dispatch. A changed shipment or address may need a new quote; additional charges require your agreement. Report missing, damaged or incorrect deliveries promptly and retain packaging and photographs where available. We will investigate and provide remedies for which we are responsible. These terms do not promise optional transit insurance unless separately offered and accepted.

9. Errors, cancellation and consumer remedies

We do not offer a change-of-mind refund solely because a correctly supplied random result is disliked, is below the pack price or is not a desired chase. This does not exclude remedies for faulty goods, misleading descriptions, non-supply or other failures covered by law.

Australian Consumer Law guarantees cannot be excluded by these terms. Depending on the problem, you may be entitled to repair, replacement, refund, cancellation or compensation. We will assess genuine issues and will not require store credit instead of a refund where you are entitled to a refund. Other mandatory consumer protections applying in your location remain unaffected.

Contact support with your order or purchase reference and the issue. We may reasonably request relevant evidence. Do not send passwords or payment-card details. A display or technical error will be investigated against the accepted purchase and saved result.

Approved refunds return to the original payment sources unless another lawful method is agreed. Split credit/card payments are reconciled to their respective sources. A refund is not an additional buyback or second payment for the same item. We will confirm processing; bank and provider posting times vary.

10. Fair use, changes, privacy and complaints

Do not misrepresent age, identity or payment, access another customer's account, manipulate results, exploit technical faults or obtain the same item or credit more than once. PWA may reasonably pause activity while investigating payment, stock, ownership or security issues. Where practicable, we will explain ongoing restrictions and how to seek review.

Receiving a valuable result or legitimately using buyback is not itself a breach. A restriction does not automatically cancel an accepted purchase or transfer your property to PWA. Technical interruptions are checked against the original transaction before deciding what further action is needed.

Material changes to price, odds, eligibility, credit or delivery apply to new purchases after they are displayed and accepted. They must not retrospectively reduce existing accepted entitlements. This version remains attached to the purchases that accept it. Reasonable notice will be given for material changes to an ongoing service.

Account and transaction information is handled under the website privacy policy and applicable law. Card, product and grading-company names identify collectibles; their use does not imply those owners operate or endorse AFTER DARK. Marketplace sales, cash payouts, rewards tiers and free packs are not included unless separately introduced.

Contact support@pwatcg.com first with a complaint so we can investigate. You retain access to consumer agencies, payment-provider processes and other rights available by law. Victorian law applies subject to mandatory laws and consumer protections in your location; this does not require you to surrender access to a competent local court or tribunal.
