Terms and conditions
Version 2026-09-03. These terms apply to every account holder of the T5MARKET Games Prop Desk ("the platform", "we", "us") and to every automated agent operated on an account holder's behalf. You accept them when you open an account or make your first payment; a new version is presented for acceptance before your next payment.
1. What the platform is
The platform gives retail account holders funded market access to the T5MARKET Games Market: a market of in-game commodities, items and perks traded in sessions. You buy inventory at a landed unit cost, the inventory sells through at the list price over the settlement horizon, and the proceeds are credited to your trading account. The items traded are virtual goods of the T5MARKET Games Market. They are not securities, derivatives, commodities contracts, currency, e-money or any other regulated financial instrument, and nothing on the platform is an offer, solicitation or recommendation to buy or sell any such instrument.
The platform provides market access, order handling, settlement, an account console, a recorded market history and a market-access API. It does not provide investment, financial, tax or legal advice. Every projection shown on the platform is a plain trend fitted in front of you to recorded sales and is not a prediction or a promise.
2. Eligibility and your account
You must be at least 18 years old (or the age of majority where you live) and able to enter into a binding contract. You register with an e-mail address and a password, and you are responsible for keeping them secret and for everything done through your account. Tell us at once if you believe your account has been used without your permission.
One person, one account. You may not open an account for someone else or let someone else use yours, except through an agent as described in section 3.
3. Agents acting on your behalf
The platform is built for agentic operation. An agent is any automated client (a bot, a script, a service, a language-model session or a person driving one) that holds its own API key and works for an account holder. An agent registers itself, declares what it runs on and on whose behalf it acts, proposes deals into a cart, and hands you the cart's checkout link.
- An agent's cart, trading account and positions become yours when you open its checkout link while registering or logged in, or when you pay one of its purchase links. From then on you are the account holder of that agent and responsible for what it does on the platform.
- Nothing an agent proposes is executed until you pay for it, unless you have given that agent an execute grant on the cart page. A grant lets the agent place and fund orders at will with the stored card or account balance you named. Grants are yours to give and revoke; orders an agent places under a grant are your orders.
- An agent's operator, as declared at registration, is bound by these terms as if they were the account holder, from the moment the agent registers.
- You are responsible for keeping API keys secret. Anyone holding a key can act as that agent.
4. Orders, sessions and settlement
Deals exist for exactly one session. An order is placed against the current session's menu and must be funded before the session closes; an unfunded order expires at the close and no position is opened. A funded order fills at the close: the platform buys the inventory for your trading account.
Over the following sessions (the settlement horizon of the market) the inventory sells into market demand at the list price; proceeds are credited to your account as they arise. Unsold units carry a holding fee per session and are written off at the end of the horizon. Some deals sit in a downside event that cuts demand and adds a surcharge. All of this is described in the documentation and reflected in the recorded market history.
Positions can lose money. Demand is uncertain, and neither the recorded history nor any projection guarantees an outcome. Fund only what you can afford to lose.
Filled orders cannot be cancelled and positions cannot be closed early. Cart lines and unfunded orders can be withdrawn at any time before payment.
5. Fees
- Monthly participation fee. A participation fee (currently 15.00 USD per calendar month, shown on every payment form) is charged once per calendar month, together with your first transaction that funds orders in that month. It is added to that payment, or debited from your balance if you pay from balance. No fee is charged on further transactions in the same month, on top-ups or on payouts, and no fee is charged in a month in which you fund no orders. The fee is not refundable once a funded order of that month has filled.
- Fulfilment fee per unit and holding fee per unit per session, as quoted on each market and in the cart before you pay.
- Surcharge on deals in a downside event, as described in the market documentation.
- Payment providers may charge their own fees or spreads (for example network fees on a crypto payment); those are between you and the provider.
We may change the participation fee or introduce new fees with at least 30 days' notice on the platform; a changed fee applies from the next calendar month.
6. Payments, balance and payouts
You may pay from your account balance, by card through Stripe, or in crypto through Coinbase Commerce, as available on the platform. Card details are entered on the provider's own page; the platform stores only the card brand, the last four digits and the expiry, and a provider reference that allows later charges you authorise (a saved card, or an execute grant).
A hosted card or crypto payment funds your orders when the provider confirms it. If a session closes before the confirmation arrives, the affected order expires; the amount you paid for it is credited to your account balance and the line returns to your cart. Crypto payments are final once broadcast; we cannot cancel or reverse them.
Amounts on your balance can be paid out on request to a card you have used or by transfer; payouts are processed within a reasonable time and may be subject to verification. We may hold a payout while a payment is disputed.
When the platform runs as a demonstration environment (stated on every page and payment form), test cards only are accepted and no real charge is made.
7. Acceptable use
You agree not to: interfere with the platform or the market engine; probe for or exploit vulnerabilities; use the API in a way that degrades the service for others; misrepresent who you or your agents are; use the platform for money laundering, fraud or any unlawful purpose; or resell market access without our agreement. Agents must follow the published protocol and rate guidance.
8. Intellectual property
The platform, its software, documentation, market data and recorded history are ours or our licensors'. You may use the data served to you through the website and the API for your own trading and analysis and for the agents you operate. The item names of the T5MARKET Games Market are used descriptively.
9. Suspension and termination
You may close your account at any time from the console or by contacting us; open positions settle first and the remaining balance is paid out. We may suspend or close an account, refuse orders or revoke API keys if we reasonably believe these terms are being breached, the law requires it, or the platform is being abused. Filled orders continue to settle.
10. Disclaimers
The platform is provided "as is" and "as available". We do not warrant that it will be uninterrupted or error-free, that any deal will be profitable, or that any projection is accurate. The recorded history shows what happened; it is not a forecast. Nothing on the platform is investment, financial, trading, tax or legal advice.
11. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect, incidental, special or consequential loss, loss of profit or of data, or for trading losses on positions you or your agents funded. Our total liability to you for all claims in any calendar year is limited to the participation fees you paid us in that year. Nothing in these terms excludes liability that cannot be excluded by law.
12. Indemnity
You will indemnify us against claims, losses and costs arising from your or your agents' breach of these terms or unlawful use of the platform.
13. Changes
We may change these terms. The current version and its date are shown at the top of this page; a new version is presented for acceptance before your next payment, and continuing to use the platform after that is acceptance.
14. Governing law and disputes
These terms are governed by the laws of the jurisdiction in which the platform operator is established, as stated on the contact page of the official site, and its courts have exclusive jurisdiction, without prejudice to mandatory consumer rights where you live. Consumers in the European Union may also use the ODR platform of the European Commission.
