Service of SkinFury

SkinFury offers the Website through which users can access services related to trade function.

This service comes with specific rules and procedures governing interactions between users and SkinFury. Users can find detailed information about these interaction rules and procedures in this Terms of Service.

It's important to note that SkinFury does not assert any rights to Items; they remain the intellectual property of Valve Corporation.

Using SkinFury Service, you can exchange, sell, and/or purchase any Items available on the SkinFury Application and/or the Website.

Accessing most of the functions on the Website will require you to use your Balance (“Balance”) which can be topped up by your Items or with the applicable payment method.

In case the virtual item you exchanged was more expensive than the one you received, extra money from the exchange will be saved on your SkinFury Balance and can be used later. However, there is no guarantee that there will be any available items for that price.

In the event that the virtual item you wish to exchange is of lesser value than the one you wish to obtain, then you may pay the difference by using your SkinFury Balance.

Any money you may receive from the sale of your virtual item will be saved in your SkinFury Balance.

To purchase a virtual item, you can either use a payment method supported by a third-party payment service provider (the Payment Method) made available to you by SkinFury or your SkinFury Balance.

You are solely responsible for reading and understanding all and any terms and conditions of any transactions conducted via or as a result of using the Service.

All trades made on our Website are independent of each other.

Balance Storage and Withdrawal

The SkinFury Balance is neither a bank account nor any kind of payment instrument. SkinFury Balance functions only for the purpose of purchasing or exchanging Items which are offered from time to time through the Platform. In order for you to use the SkinFury wallet, the following is required:

  • When registering to the Platform via Steam, you shall register the Balance which shall be linked to your Steam64 ID account.
  • You may enter money (in the currency indicated depending on your region) to your Balance.
  • You may only use the credit in your Balance to buy Items which are offered for sale through the Platform.
  • Money cannot be withdrawn from your Balance at the Platform.
  • You will top up your Balance via our payment system. When topping up the Balance, SkinFury may choose to award your account with a certain bonus (depending on the payment method) with respect to the amount paid by you to the Website at the very time the money is entered.
  • SkinFury Balance cannot be transferred to any other sites.
  • Usually, the Balance cannot be returned; however, if we have the applicable method of return and subject to terms and conditions of that method, the outstanding amount of the Balance can be returned to you.

Payment Policy

To utilize the Services and deposit funds into your Account Balance, you can choose from various Payment Methods.

The available Payment Methods and their descriptions are accessible on the payment page of the relevant Service. These methods may include topping up with real currency or using virtual items.

SkinFury offers Payment Methods to users at its discretion or based on the user's location. Each Payment Method has its own terms and policies, including an AML Policy, and reserves the right to reject or suspend transactions according to its rules. Users must review and accept the terms and policies of the respective Payment Method before proceeding with any transactions.

SkinFury is not accountable for payment delays or the actions of Payment Methods. If your payment account's currency differs from the currency specified on the Website, your payment will be converted at your bank's conversion rate at the time of payment with the amount indicated on the payment page. SkinFury does not control or bear responsibility for conversion rates set by banks and payment institutions.

You confirm that you are the legal owner of all bank accounts, cards, and other payment accounts used for transactions.

Security

SkinFury prioritizes the security of users' payment information, employing industry-specific encryption technologies and secure payment gateways. However, no internet transmission or electronic storage method is entirely secure. While SkinFury endeavors to protect users' payment information, absolute security cannot be guaranteed.

Currency and Pricing

Prices on SkinFury's Website are displayed in the user's selected currency, adjustable in the Account settings. Prices may change without prior notice, and exchange rates may fluctuate, with additional fees potentially applied by the user's payment provider.

Chargebacks and Fraudulent Activity

SkinFury strictly prohibits chargebacks and fraudulent activities. Suspected or unauthorized transactions may result in actions such as Account banning, reporting to legal authorities, and pursuing legal remedies to recover losses.

Changes to Payment Policy

SkinFury reserves the right to modify or update this Payment Policy without prior notice. Users are encouraged to periodically review the policy to stay informed about any changes. By using SkinFury's Service and making payments, users acknowledge having read, understood, and agreed to the terms outlined in this Payment Policy.

Refund and Returns and Cancellation

SkinFury takes returns seriously and makes every effort to address any issues related to cancellations, returns, and other matters. In this section, you can find essential information regarding the conditions and procedures for cancellations, returns, and related matters.

Due to the digital nature of Items and their instantaneous delivery, SkinFury typically does not offer withdrawals, returns, or refunds after a transaction is completed. However, SkinFury operates in compliance with the applicable legislation of the user's jurisdiction, and whether such applicable legislation may stipulate the other conditions of withdrawals, the rules thereof shall apply.

In exceptional cases, such as technical errors or duplicate purchases, SkinFury may consider refund requests on a case-by-case basis. Users can reach out to SkinFury's support team if they believe they are entitled to a refund, providing relevant details and evidence.

At the same time, users should not interpret the above rules as a means to continually abuse their rights.

By using our services and websites, users confirm that they have reviewed the returns policy and understand the terms outlined in this section.
