1. The agreement
By using the Site, joining a waitlist, creating an order, or placing a purchase, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy and, where relevant, our Shipping and returns page. If you do not agree, do not use the Site or order from us.
If you buy as a consumer, mandatory consumer laws in your country still apply. Nothing in these Terms takes away rights you cannot legally give up. If you buy as a business, these Terms (together with the order confirmation and any document we both sign) are the entire agreement for that purchase, except for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation.
We may change these Terms from time to time. The version on this page when you order is the version that applies to that order. Continued use of the Site after a change means you accept the new Terms for future use of the Site. We will not change the Terms that apply to an order already accepted except as required by law or as we both agree in writing.
2. Who we are
The Site is operated by Mafia Card Game, from the United Kingdom (“we”, “us”, “our”). The Site is mafiacardgame.com.
Contact: contact (at) mafiacardgame.com or the contact page.
3. Eligibility
To place an order you must be able to form a binding contract where you live, and you must have authority to bind yourself (or the business you represent) to these Terms. Checkout asks you to confirm that. Joining a waitlist only needs a working email.
The recommended play age for the game is 14+. That is a play recommendation, not a minimum age to buy. A parent or guardian may order for a younger player. You are responsible for deciding whether the game is suitable for the people you play with.
The game is a social deduction card game that includes hidden roles, accusation, elimination, and historical figures as part of play. The Site is not directed at children browsing on their own.
You must not use the Site or order from us if doing so would breach sanctions, export controls, or other laws that apply to you.
4. The website
We provide the Site so you can learn about the game, read rules and roles, and buy or join a list to buy the deck. We do not promise that the Site will be uninterrupted, error-free, virus-free, or available in every country. We may change, suspend, or stop any part of the Site without notice, except that we will still honour accepted orders as these Terms require.
Rules text, role text, and other game information on the Site describe how we intend the published game to be played. Printing, packing, or later print runs may differ in small ways. How-to and rules pages are guidance; they are not a separate product and they are not a warranty that every table will play in the same way.
Content is provided for information and for selling the game. Commentary about other games (including rankings on the social deduction, psychology games, and games like Werewolf pages) is our opinion, not an official ranking by those publishers, and not an invitation to those publishers to deal with us.
The Site may contain links to other websites. We are not responsible for those sites, their content, or their terms. Your use of a payment provider, carrier, or advertising platform is also subject to that party’s terms.
5. Orders, descriptions, and prices
An order is an offer to buy. We accept it when we send an order confirmation, or when we take payment and confirm that we will fulfil it. Until then we may refuse or cancel an order, including if the product is unavailable, if there is an obvious pricing or description error, if we cannot ship to your address, if we reasonably suspect fraud, or if you are not eligible under section 3.
If you are in the United Kingdom you see prices in pounds sterling. Everyone else sees US dollars. We charge in the same currency as the price you were shown. Shop prices are for the goods. Postage is added on the payment page. We send parcels duties paid: we pay import duty and the carrier’s customs handling when we post. You should not be asked to pay those charges on delivery. We do not add UK VAT or US sales tax at checkout. Customs can still inspect, delay, or seize a parcel.
We try to describe products accurately. Photographs, box art, card counts, and dimensions are illustrative. Small differences in print, colour, packing, card stock, and finish can occur. Those differences are not a fault if the goods still match the description in a way a reasonable buyer would expect.
If a price is clearly wrong (for example a decimal in the wrong place), we are not obliged to sell at that price. We will cancel and refund if we have already taken payment.
We may limit quantities per customer. We may cancel subsequent orders if we reasonably believe they are placed for resale without our written consent.
6. Payment
Payment is due at checkout unless we agree otherwise in writing. We take payment through Stripe. You will see postage on the payment page before you pay. Import duties and customs charges are paid by us when we post, as described in section 8. Your payment is also subject to Stripe’s terms. We do not store full payment card numbers on our servers.
We treat an order as paid when Stripe confirms the payment. We are not obliged to ship until we have received the funds. If a payment fails or is cancelled, no contract of sale is formed for that attempt.
You confirm that you are authorised to use the payment method. We may run fraud checks and may refuse an order if a check fails. You must not make a chargeback or payment dispute in bad faith. If a chargeback is made, we may pause fulfilment and recover our reasonable costs where the law allows.
Title to goods passes to you when we have received payment in full and the goods have been delivered, except that risk passes as described in section 8.
7. Waitlists, pre-orders, and goods not yet for sale
Joining a waitlist or notify list is not a purchase. It does not reserve stock, does not fix a price, and does not create a contract of sale. We will use your email to tell you when you can buy, as described in the Privacy Policy.
If an item is offered as a pre-order, checkout will say so. Pre-order estimated dates are targets, not guarantees. We may change a print run, a ship date, packing, or printed details before goods are produced. If we cancel a pre-order we will refund what you paid for that pre-order.
Promotional codes, early-access lists, and similar offers may be withdrawn, limited, or made subject to extra conditions. They have no cash value unless the law requires otherwise.
8. Delivery
We ship to addresses we accept on the payment page. The deck on sale now is a pre-order, and those orders start shipping in January 2027. Paid, in-stock orders are usually dispatched within one working day (Monday to Friday, excluding public holidays in England and Wales). Delivery times after dispatch are estimates, not contractual deadlines, unless we have agreed a date in writing or the law treats a stated date as binding.
Risk in the goods passes to you when they are delivered to the address you gave, or when they are collected, except that UK and EEA consumers keep the rights the law gives them if goods are lost or damaged in transit before delivery.
You must give a complete, accurate address and a phone number if the carrier needs it, and ensure someone can receive the parcel. Extra costs caused by a wrong address, a refused delivery, or a package held by customs because of missing paperwork you were asked to provide, are your responsibility unless the law says otherwise.
We send international orders duties paid. We pay import duty and the carrier’s customs handling when we post. You should not be asked to pay those charges on delivery. You must still comply with your country’s import rules. We are not responsible for delays, inspections, or seizures by customs.
Dispatch, tracking, customs, and returns are set out in more detail on the Shipping and returns page. If that page is more favourable to you as a consumer than these Terms, that page applies.
9. Cancellation rights in the United Kingdom and the European Economic Area
If you are a consumer in the UK or the EEA buying goods at a distance, you usually have a legal right to cancel within 14 days of receiving the goods, without giving a reason, under the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 (UK) and the Consumer Rights Directive as implemented in EEA states.
The 14-day period begins on the day you, or a third party you nominate (other than the carrier), acquire physical possession of the goods. If an order is delivered in more than one consignment, the period begins when you acquire possession of the last consignment.
We also offer a 30-day return for any reason, which is longer than this 14-day right. You may use either. To cancel or return, tell us clearly through the contact page or contact (at) mafiacardgame.com. You then have a further 14 days to send the goods back. For a change of mind you pay the return postage. If the goods are faulty, we cover the return postage. We refund the price and standard outbound delivery using the original payment method, less any diminished value caused by handling beyond reasonable inspection, within the legal time limits.
The cancellation right does not apply to goods made to your specification, or to sealed goods that are not suitable for return for health or hygiene reasons if you unseal them, where the law allows that exception. Playing cards that have been unsealed, marked, sleeved in a way that damages them, or used at a table may have diminished value.
If you asked us to begin a service during the cancellation period, you may have to pay for what was provided. This section does not affect your separate rights if goods are faulty.
10. Returns within 30 days (United States and worldwide)
Every buyer may return goods for any reason within 30 days of receiving them, as set out on the Shipping and returns page. You pay the return postage on a change-of-mind return. If the goods are faulty, damaged, incomplete, or not as described, we cover the return postage.
Some US states and other countries give additional return or disclosure rights. We will honour those mandatory rights. You may also have rights under your card issuer’s rules.
Contact us with your order details before you post anything. Refunds are made to the original payment method unless we agree otherwise or the law requires a different method.
11. Faulty and misdescribed goods
United Kingdom. If you are a UK consumer, the Consumer Rights Act 2015 applies. Goods must be of satisfactory quality, fit for purpose, and as described. In the first 30 days you may reject faulty goods and claim a refund. After that you may be entitled to a repair or replacement, and then a price reduction or final refund, as the Act sets out. Those rights are in addition to any courtesy returns we offer.
European Economic Area. EEA consumers have the legal guarantee of conformity under applicable national law implementing EU consumer sales rules, typically for two years from delivery, with remedies of repair, replacement, price reduction, or contract termination as that law provides. Some EEA states provide a longer period. The shorter period for reporting a lack of conformity that some states allow after discovery still applies where that state law so provides.
United States. Except for the remedies this section and applicable law require, goods are provided without additional warranty. To the fullest extent permitted, implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement are limited to 90 days from delivery or to the minimum period your state requires, whichever is longer. Some states do not allow limitations on implied warranties; in those states the limitation may not apply to you. This does not limit remedies for goods that arrive damaged, incomplete, or not as described where state law requires a remedy.
Elsewhere. You keep any mandatory statutory warranty or guarantee in your country, including any cooling-off or defect period that cannot be waived. Where we can legally limit implied warranties, we do so to the maximum extent allowed.
Tell us promptly if goods arrive damaged, incomplete, or not as described. Reasonable photographs help us resolve the claim. We cover the return postage in those cases. We may ask you to return the goods or evidence before we refund or replace. Replacements are subject to stock. If a print run has ended we may refund instead.
12. Intellectual property
The game, the Site, the name The Final Witness, card art, rules text, layout, photographs, logos, and related marks are owned by us or our licensors and are protected by copyright, trade mark, and other laws of the United Kingdom, the United States, and other countries.
You may not copy, scrape, republish, frame, reverse engineer, or sell that material except for reasonable personal use of pages you view, or as copyright law allows (including fair dealing in the UK and fair use in the US).
Buying a deck lets you play the game at a table. It does not give you the right to reproduce the cards commercially, to make a competing product from our text or art, to use our brand on merchandise, or to claim affiliation with us.
If you believe content on the Site infringes your copyright, write to us with a description of the work, the URL, your contact details, and a statement made in good faith. US visitors may send a notice intended to comply with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. We may remove content while we consider the notice.
13. Acceptable use
You must not misuse the Site. That includes attempting to break security, probing or overloading servers, scraping at a scale that harms the service, submitting malware, posting unlawful or infringing content, impersonating us, or using the Site to commit fraud.
If you send us a message, review, or other content, you grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to use it to run the Site, to deal with your request, and to display it if you submitted it for public display. You must not send content you do not have the right to send. We may remove content that we reasonably believe breaches these Terms.
We may suspend access or refuse orders if we reasonably believe you have breached these Terms.
14. Privacy and electronic communications
We collect and use personal data as described in the Privacy Policy, including data from the Site, from marketing tools (cookies, pixels, Microsoft Clarity, and similar technologies), and from orders. By using the Site you acknowledge that policy. Where the law requires consent for cookies or electronic marketing, we will ask for it.
If you give us an email address, you agree that we may send you operational messages about the Site, your waitlist place, or an order. Marketing messages are sent only as the Privacy Policy and applicable law (including PECR in the UK, CAN-SPAM in the United States, CASL in Canada, and similar rules elsewhere) allow. You may unsubscribe from marketing at any time.
15. Liability
Nothing in these Terms limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, for a deliberate personal act, or for any liability that cannot be limited under the law that applies to you (including, for UK consumers, liability that cannot be excluded under the Consumer Rights Act 2015).
Consumers in the UK and EEA. We are responsible for foreseeable loss caused by our breach of these Terms or our failure to use reasonable care and skill. We are not responsible for loss that was not foreseeable, for business losses if you used the Site or goods wholly or mainly for a commercial purpose, or for delays caused by events outside our reasonable control (including print, post, customs, and platform outages). Foreseeable means it was obvious that it would happen or we both knew it might happen.
Business customers, and customers where the law allows a cap. To the maximum extent permitted, we are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive loss, or for lost profits, lost revenue, lost data, lost goodwill, or substitute goods. Our total liability for a claim arising out of an order is limited to the amount you paid for that order. Our total liability for a claim arising only from use of the Site (not from an order) is limited to fifty pounds sterling (£50).
United States. Some states do not allow exclusion of certain warranties or damages. In those states our liability is limited to the greatest extent the law allows. You may have additional rights as a consumer under state law that these Terms cannot change. Where a limitation is not permitted, it is modified to the minimum extent needed to be enforceable.
The game involves optional play at a table. We are not responsible for how a host or a table chooses to play, for house rules, or for offence taken at themes, accusations, historical figures, or art depicted on the cards.
16. Indemnity (business use and misuse)
If you use the Site or goods for a business, or if you misuse the Site, you will indemnify us against reasonable losses, damages, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your breach of these Terms, your unlawful content, or your infringement of a third party’s rights, except to the extent caused by our negligence or wilful misconduct, and except that this clause does not require a consumer to indemnify us in a way the consumer law of your country forbids.
17. Events beyond our control
We are not in breach of these Terms, and we are not liable, for delay or failure caused by events beyond our reasonable control, including without limitation fire, flood, epidemic, labour dispute, failure of a supplier or carrier, postal disruption, customs action, war, terrorism, cyber-attack that we could not reasonably prevent, change of law, or interruption of utilities or of a payment or hosting platform. If such an event continues for more than 60 days, either of us may cancel the affected order and we will refund amounts paid for goods we have not shipped.
18. Governing law and disputes
These Terms, and any dispute or claim arising out of them or out of an order (including non-contractual disputes), are governed by the law of England and Wales.
The courts of England and Wales have jurisdiction, except that:
- If you are a consumer in the United Kingdom, you may also bring proceedings in the courts of your part of the UK (England and Wales, Scotland, or Northern Ireland)
- If you are a consumer in the EEA, you may bring proceedings in the courts of your country of residence, and you benefit from mandatory consumer protections of that country that cannot be waived. We may bring proceedings against you only in the courts of your country of residence
- If you are a consumer in the United States or elsewhere, you may also use any court that has jurisdiction under the mandatory consumer or civil procedure rules of your home jurisdiction, where those rules cannot be waived
Nothing in this section prevents either of us from seeking interim relief in any court of competent jurisdiction, or from using a small-claims procedure that is available to you.
If you are a US consumer, you and we each waive the right to participate in a class, collective, or representative action to the extent a waiver is permitted in your state. If that waiver is not permitted, it does not apply to you. This is not an arbitration agreement.
19. General
If a term is held unenforceable, it is modified to the minimum extent needed, and the rest of these Terms still apply. If we do not enforce a right on one occasion, we may still enforce it later. You may not assign your order without our consent. We may assign our rights to a successor that continues the business.
These Terms are provided in English. If we provide a translation, the English version prevails unless a mandatory local law says otherwise.
No person other than you and us has any right to enforce these Terms, whether under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 or otherwise, except that a permitted assignee may do so.
Nothing in these Terms creates a partnership, joint venture, or employment relationship. Headings are for convenience only.
Notices to us must be sent using the contact details in section 20. Notices to you may be sent to the email or postal address you gave us. A notice by email is deemed received the next working day in England after sending, unless a delivery-failure report is received.
Clauses that by their nature should survive (including intellectual property, liability limits that the law allows, indemnity, privacy acknowledgements, and governing law) survive termination or fulfilment of an order.
20. Contact
Questions about these Terms or an order should be sent to contact (at) mafiacardgame.com or through the contact page.
Please also read our Privacy Policy, which explains how we use personal data from the Site, from marketing (including pixels, analytics, and Microsoft Clarity), and from orders. We do not sell your data to other companies or pass it to unrelated third parties for their own use.
