Terms & Conditions

1. About these Terms

These Terms & Conditions govern your use of the My Starbucks Mugs website. By using this website, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the website.

2. About this Website

My Starbucks Mugs is an independent collector website about Starbucks mugs and related collectibles.

This website is not a public online shop or open marketplace. The website does not provide public checkout, automated ordering or public listings for general sale.

However, the website operator may from time to time indicate that certain mugs are being sought and may invite sensible offers to sell or trade those items. Any such discussion is handled privately, usually by email, and may continue through a non-public page or unique website link shared only with the person making the offer.

Nothing shown publicly on this website is a binding offer to buy or sell. Any purchase, sale or trade would only exist if the parties separately agree terms in private communication.

Unless expressly stated otherwise, this website is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Starbucks Corporation or any of its group companies. Third-party names, logos, trade marks and product names remain the property of their respective owners.

3. Who Can Use the Website

This website is intended for a general audience. If you are under 18, you should use the website with the involvement of a parent or legal guardian.

4. Private Purchase, Sale and Trade Enquiries

References to mugs, wanted items, collection items, images, dates, release details, rarity, value or availability are provided for collector, display and general information purposes.

The website may also invite private approaches from people who wish to sell or trade a mug that appears on the wants list, for example through wording such as “Sell to me” or similar.

Any such approach is private and discretionary. The website does not operate a public marketplace, does not provide public bidding, and does not guarantee that any offer will receive a response, be accepted, or lead to a transaction.

Any private page, unique link or invitation-only page shared for a potential sale or trade is intended only for the specific recipient. It must not be forwarded, published, indexed or relied on by anyone else.

Any third party claiming to buy, sell or trade on behalf of this website without express confirmation from the website operator should be treated with caution. The website operator is not responsible for losses arising from scams, impersonation, unofficial listings or unauthorised third-party transactions.

You agree to use the website only for lawful purposes.

You must not:

• misuse the website or knowingly introduce viruses, malware or harmful code;

6. Intellectual Property

Unless otherwise stated, the website design, text, layout, original graphics and compilation of content on this website are owned by or licensed to the website operator and are protected by applicable intellectual property laws.

You may browse the website for your own personal, non-commercial use. You must not copy, republish, distribute, sell, adapt or create derivative works from protected website content except where the law permits or permission has been given.

Nothing in these Terms gives you any right to use any third-party trade mark, logo or brand name appearing on the website.

7. Accuracy and Collector Information

The website aims to present collector information in good faith, but content may be incomplete, approximate, out of date, or contain errors or omissions.

You should not rely on the website as the sole basis for purchasing decisions, authentication, valuation, rarity assessments, travel decisions or investment decisions.

8. Third-Party Links

The website may contain links to third-party websites or services for convenience, reference or collecting purposes. Those third parties control their own content, terms and privacy practices. Use of third-party sites is at your own risk.

Some outbound links may be affiliate links. This means the website operator may earn a commission if you visit a third-party site and make a qualifying purchase, at no additional cost to you.

The website operator does not control third-party listings, stock, prices, delivery, authenticity claims or after-sales support, and is not responsible for third-party transactions.

9. Privacy

Use of the website is also subject to the Privacy Policy, which explains how personal data is handled in relation to this website.

10. Availability and Changes

The website is provided on an "as available" basis. We do not guarantee uninterrupted availability, error-free operation, or that the website will always remain available in its current form.

The current version of these Terms is the version published on this page. Continued use of the website after a revised version is published means you accept the revised Terms.

11. Disclaimers

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the website and its content are provided without warranties or guarantees of any kind, whether express or implied.

This includes no guarantee that the website will be secure, error-free, accurate, complete, current, or suitable for any particular purpose.

12. Liability

If any part of these Terms is found to be unlawful, invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect.
